Hello fellow CCers. I am a senior-1rst semester, international student studying in an international school.
I am interested to know my chances for the following universities:
Purdue, Georgia Tech, UC. Berkeley, Univ. of Toronto and McGill.

My school grading is out of 4.3, with:
A+ (98-100) being 4.3
A (94-97) being 4
A- (90-93) being 3.7.
B+ (87-89) being 3.3
and so on…

Weighted GPA for IB and AP courses are out of 4.8. +0.5 weight is added.

Resume:

Grade 9:
Physics, Chemistry, Accelerated Geometry, English, Modern World History and some electives.

Received A- and As in all of them except a C and B+ in English.
GPA: 3.7

Grade 10:
Physics, Chemistry, Accelerated Advanced Algebra, Advanced Algebra, English, World History and some electives.

Received A- and As in all except a C in Accelerated Advanced Algebra and (after dropping the course), A+ in AA.
GPA: 3.6

Grade 11: I took 7 IB courses.
Chem HL, Physics HL, Econ HL, Maths SL, English SL, French AB SL, ComputerScience SL ( 1 year)
GPA: 3.55

In IB Computer Science SL examination, I received a 6.

Cumulative unweighted (grade 9-10) = 3.64 GPA
Cumulated weighted (grade 11) = 3.55 GPA

Official School Transcript GPA: 3.60

SAT score = 710 (M) , 650 (Cr) , 680 (W) = 2030

ECs:

Chess Vice President.
Table Tennis Vice President.
Arranged many Chess tournaments. Came 2nd in all highschool Chess tournament.
Organized Table Tennis tournaments.
Loads of community works…(too many to name)

I have decent ECs but my GPA is below par for most of the colleges. Most probably my predicted IB score will be around 35.

I am interested to know my chances for:
Purdue, Georgia Tech, UC. Berkeley, Univ. of Toronto and McGill.
Any suggestion/comments will be fine. I am applying early for all the universities.

Thanks,
