I am currently studying in an Indian school. I am thinking about applying to McGill Univ in Canada and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in US, in 2016. I am interested in the Mechanical Engineering Major.
My school scores are as follows:
9th - 95% (top 3%)
10th - 95% (top 5%)
11th - 91% (3rd)
12th - 77% (top 10%)
I know my 12th class score is low but i am still in the top 10% since our school is really strict in academics. Will the univs give more preference to my score or my percentile.
I will be giving SAT 1 and 2 ASAP
extra curricular
Cleared many national level exams (NTSE, KVPY, Olympiads)
Submitted ideas to GSF
Short-listed for Intel tech challenge 2015
Made a documentary on road safety which was shown in theatres all over the city
National level gold and bronze medalist in Karate
Grade 3 guitarist from Trinity College London
And many school and state level achievements
Also i will be applying for need based financial aid
What are my chances of getting into either univs?
Really appreciate some help.
