No where.

In actuality, I am positive that you will get into both.

There are some other schools that you MIGHT also want to check out, although most aren’t at the level of McGill and UBC, though some are. There is York, Guelph, Ryerson, Mount Royal and the Group of 15; like a mini-Canadian Ivy League, although not really…

The U15 are:
Alberta
UBC
Calgary
Dalhouise
Universite Laval (French)
Montreal (French)
Manitoba
McGill
McMaster
Ottawa
Queen’s
Saskatchewan
Toronto
Waterloo
Western

While Ottawa, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Dalhouise are on the lower end, you might want to check the rest out. Toronto competes for number one with McGill and UBC, but has a similar acceptance rate. Waterloo is renowned for its engineering and computer science programs.

Quite frankly, I think you can get into McGill, UBC and all of these universities; it shouldn’t be a problem.
Canadian universities typically really only give most of their emphasis on objective data, and your averages are competitive and, again, you can probably get in everywhere.

Good luck!

UBC, McGill; Higher-level Safeties

Maybe add in Waterloo for CS, and MAYBE Toronto; both will also be higher-level safeties.
Alberta and Calgary are both also pretty good, and both are safeties.
With Canadian universities, their mission is to offer everyone a great education, and there is no elitism or elite schools, really, aside from McGill/Toronto/UBC at the top, but there is very little elitism at the schools.

My ramblings are over, and again, good luck!
