Hi! <3
I'm a female asian from Canada.
Well, to be more specific, I'm a Korean student(Intl.) studying in Canada. I have been studying in Canada since the second term of gr.8
(I don't know why I am mentioning ethnicity but everyone else does..so...)

I don't have any official scores because I haven't took any SAT tests yet, but I am planning to take SAT2 BIO this January.
(And hopefully SAT1 in June)

I know that it's hard to see the chances of acceptance without my official scores, but can you still tell me how I am doing?
I really want to go to the states for my university, but I feel hopeless sometimes. Please tell me my chances!


GPA:
gr.9 92% - probably around 3.7~3.8
gr.10 94% - 3.8~3.9
gr.11 96%(progress report) - 4.0 finally got all 90s!
my school does not rank
(but i am really worried because the class size is extremely small)

Oh, by the way, don't mind my English.. I still have a lot to learn <3

thechiz

Ok, where are you applying to?

caela

well i don't know yet...
depends on my scores i guess?
I still have some time to figure that out cus im in gr.11 now

thechiz

we'll its kind of hard to say, considering you havn't got your SAT scores back yet. I would think your extra curriculars are pretty strong to any college, and your average is obveously really high. However, your average eventually is weighted, as some schools inflate their grades, so a 96% at your high school might end up being a 90% at another ect.Good luck!
