Dear readers, please give me some of your advice on what schools I should try for. (that would give me a decent shot at admission)

I am currently at University of Toronto in Canada and will be applying to the states (i do not know which exact schools yet)

I just finished my 3rd year and will be in my final year next year.


My gpa is horrible. I have a gpa of 3.64 in 3rd year.
my gpa up till 2nd year was 3.87.
1st year 3.81 and 2nd year 3.95

(my current cgpa is 3.798 if i did not calculate wrongly)

my mcat is 39s
15b 14p 10v S

i am an international student if i were to apply for the states.


i have two years on my college council experience.
i have one year of hospital volunteer experience.
i have chaired 3 fundraising events raising a total of over 7000 dollars.
i have been in intramural sports.
i am in a summer research right now.

i dont know what else is important but that is the gist of my situation.
my gpa drop has been drastic and im really disappointed

what schools should i be aiming for? do i even have a chance as an international students

are there any things i shud do right now to increase my chances.

any opinion is greatly appreciated!


i also have a question regarding early decision.
if u do apply, are u not allowed to apply to ANY other school?


i am actually interested in ucla. is that impossible now with my low gpa? or am i missing something important from my resume that i shud get to work now

your stats and ECs look like they are in the right direction. They won't keep you from anything. If you apply ED you cannot apply to other school's until you get the decision, which may be October. Since you are international, and you want to go to Cali, I would advise against it, but contact the school. This is not the college common apps where you can sneak multiple apps in. AMCAS won't allow you to apply if you do ED (I think).


However, if you apply to International friendly schools , you should have a great shot.
