I was a US student admitted this year, can’t wait for the Fall :-).

Um, basically…you need to have done well throughout your entire HS carreer, and your junior year is of particular importance I’d say. I had a GPA of about 4.1-4.2, lots of AP classes, and a 33 ACT. I didn’t use the SAT, so I don’t know about that. About the APs, apparently that may have been a determining factor, as my counselor told me they called the school to request more information about our AP program.

So, I’d say in addition to just your GPA and ACT, they are going to look at your course selection…an indication of your work ethic. I don’t think there was any section on the app about extracurriculars, and there wasn’t an essay.

I was rejected from the faculty of Arts and Sciences, but was admitted into Faculty of Sciences.

Good luck.

PS. What is your GPA?
