I’m not one of the strongest students (SAT wise) however I do have fairly good grades. My gpa is 4.0 unweighted-with 95’s-100’s in every class from freshman year to junior, with a 1620 sat score (i know, it’s horrific). My extracurriculars include: National Honours Society (4 years), assistant teacher and tutor for computer and literature classes (2 years), research assistant at mt. sinai school of medicine (summer of 11’ and this year-i’m currently co-authoring a psychiatry book), and hundreds of hours of community services. While I do know that extracurriculars are not exceedingly important in Canada, I thought I’d just add them. I am taking the sats again, and hopefully I will do much better. I’ve taken 5 AP classes (lit, psych, bio, us, world) and got 5’s on each of them. I would love to go to McGill in Montreal, so please give me your opinions! I’m a white male in a public high school in the Bronx, New York.
