If I tell you "yes", will you stop trying your best and just slack through you last semester?

If I tell you "no", will you trust the opinion of a stranger from the internet, and give up?


So I'll tell you that it is not unrealistic for you to get to your first choice, but it will require work.

If you have an 86+ average, there's a good chance of getting in most of those universities. But you have to remember, many of them (at least U of T and UW) don't only check your top 3 marks; they typically check 6 (English, Calculus, Functions, Chemistry, Physics, and another U or M level course).
