Help! I have no clue about my chances as a Canadian student

<p>I get so excited when I see a fellow Canadian on here because I’m in the exact same position!! I’m the only student this year applying to the states and probably one of the only to apply in my school history… Our school doesn’t offer AP classes as no school in my city does, but it’s an IB school. My average is a bit higher than yours and same with SAT. I think you should retake the SATs in December if you can. That is, if you’re satisfied with your subjects. I know the hardest thing for me was to study for subjects because I had to self study all mine because the courses at my school didn’t correlate with the relevant content on the tests. Number wise, I don’t think you have a good shot. The middle 50% SAT reading score was 700-800 last year and writing was 710-790. Your math score is amazing though. With that said, you may have a better chance if you write unique essays and have killer extracurriculars. But… if Princeton is your first choice I think you should apply. I know applying from Canada is challenging as we have different admission requirements and most teachers (well mine anyway) don’t know ANYTHING about US universities. You don’t know how much I had to explain what and where Princeton is hahah. I wish you the best whatever you decide to do! And besides, we always have our canadian universities as back up</p>
