Am I doing terribly in school?

I am a Canadian student, so that might be quite different. Asian male, junior.

I am under the impression that I do not have to submit all my marks to be considered for admission, correct me if I am wrong.

Unweighted average: 88.875%

Sorry for not being familiar with the “weighted” system, and I am in a year-school instead of a semester school. There is no such objet as “credit hour” in my school (hence confused when I want to calculate my weighted GPA)

If my impressions are correct, I have a unweighted GPA of 3.46 and a weighted GPA of 4.21 for this term, however, I am in a super-competitive school that 86% average is considered “very impressive”. My GPA for the sophomore year is 4.0/4.0 UW. However my freshman year yields a terrible GPA of 2.39. Approximately 60% of the total student population is asian, including 25% international students (I know that is terrible). There are approximately 340 students in my grade, 15(4.4%) or so is planning on pursuing education in the United States. My school is not publishing class ranks, but after my comparison it should be around 7/340 to 11/340 (this data is available upon request alongside with requests for transcript).

My score for the SAT falls into the mid-2200 range. CR 600s, M 800, W 800; Practice test for ACT(getting ready for ACT booklet) 34-35.

APs:
AP Calculus BC(done, freshman): 4, planning on retaking(taking the course at school, A, self-studied in my freshman year)
AP Statistics(done, sophomore): 4
AP Economics(Micro and macro, taking now, A)
AP Physics 1(taking now, A-)
AP Physics C(taking now, outside school as school does not offer)
AP English Language(taking now, outside school as school does not offer)
AP Human Geography(taking now, A-)
AP Art History(taking now, B+)

Am I so terrible that IVL(and other good schools) would hardly consider me? Thanks in advance.

Dude, I heard the Canadian grading system is way harder than America’s. An 80 is still an A over there, right? Your grades are fine.
@bawbdmo I don’t think that hair piece can survive the flames or El Chapo. :))

Lol. If you consider that bad, then I’m doing terrible. My school doesn’t even offer AP classes, haha. Your fine, you’re more than fine, you’re great.

Don’t focus much on your freshmen year’s GPA. As long as you’ve shown improvement over the years in high school, colleges will still be impressed with you as a man who is determined to work hard to aim high. Besides, your academic history and education is pretty good. Nothing to worry about.

I hope this helps.

I converted my grades from Canadian ones to that of America.
