<p>But since in Canada, the class averages hover around 60’s-70’s (which corresponds to C’s- B’s), and the highest average in the typical Canadian high school would be between 92-94. </p>
<p>So if you’re a Canadian applying in the top decile of your school, then you’d probably be getting 80’s in school… doesn’t that look bad on an American application? I’m personally not sure if ranking in the decile will cut it. And if I try to convert my marks to a gpa, it looks quite low (since it’s as if everything has been bumped down a notch).</p>
<p>As for the application fee, I heard that it takes quite a lot money to run an admission office. I heard that a lot of Chinese applicants get fee waivers (because of the rate).</p>
