hey, I am from canada so I know how you feel. It really does suck to have 86 as an A contrary to belief, because you won’t have any motivation to go over an 86 since that is an A. At my school, though, they only report the letter grade and not the percentage, so find out if your school does that too. As for having no AP classes, see if your high school offers IB program. Many schools in Canada offers the IB program and it is often seen as an equivalent for international students. I am still worried for you, though, because your ECs aren’t that outstanding… Your asian + international status is obviously not going to help you… your SAT is still considerably low for Georgetown, NYU, JHU, BROWN… but don’t give up, I’ve seen A LOT of canadians go off to UC’s.
