<p>Dear Vector : Your CR score of 620 will be a stumbling block (although your cumulative score of 2090 is fine), but your average grade of 84 (effectively a “B” average) will be the biggest issue. While you might point to your high school’s grading curve, you are in the 80th percentile (top 20%) which is marginal compared to many posters. Your activities read like many posters on the web site - some sports, some clubs, some awards. Your international status (Canadian location) might help from a diversity perspective. As an early action candidate, you will likely be deferred given the increased application pool this year. For regular decision, I would guess that you are 3:2 to get an offer. Good luck!</p>
<p>You have a very good shot of getting in. Seriously:</p>

<p>Although your GPA and ranking isn’t jaw-dropping, but your Sciences and Math SAT scores are really impressive. Although I don’t know how competitive Toronto swimming is, I don’t imagine it’s a peewee league. You have very balanced ECs: sport and science. Good luck.</p>
