Hi,

I am a student from University of Toronto in Canada, applying into a pre-med program.
My previous academic sessions, disrupts my entry to colleges. I had a low cumulative GPA of 1.18/4.0 and was academically suspend during the fall session of 2011. As of now I am enrolled in 3 courses, which are minimum for a full-time student on the campus, and have been academically successful, achieving a sessional GPA of 3.8/4.0, that I can assure to uphold till the end of the term. I have also scored, Reading;430, Math;500, Writing;410, on my SAT.
My main concern are my previous grades. I would like to show my final transcript along with assessments from the professors, which can of course, enhance my application at the end of the term (May). If also an interview with an alumni or admission committee will be great.
I had contacted some of the colleges regarding my academic profile. They suggested I should continue to apply to their colleges. But, I am not sure if they think I have a chance to be accepted, or just want the application fee.

Here are the following admission offices, and their responses:
-University of Chicago; Last academic progress will be taken into consideration, and they are trying secure an open spot for an interview with an alumni.
-University of Miami; Apply after I have finished my current term, and call them to see, if they are currently still accepting applicants.
-Boston University; Submit the my final sessional transcript, ASAP.
-University of New Orleans; Score 450 on Reading, and last academic progress will be taken into consideration.

I would like to hear the forum committee’s opinions regarding the chances of acceptance to the current following colleges, and suggestions to other colleges.

I would also like to mention about secondary education. The courses I have taken are specifically to get into Universities. During my senior year, I had taken English, Advance Function, Calculus, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Sociology with and overall average of 70%+ from 6 of the highest achieved grades in final year.

Thank you,
