Well I'm not that sure yet, but obviously I want to get into the top universities in their fields. Your knowledge of universities in Canada is still valid, as the schools you mentioned are definitely the best in Canada to study business or medicine.
But I'm setting my goal a bit higher, and I would like to get into a university in the states, say Harvard business school or something?
I know it will be really hard, but I'm sure I still have a chance of making it.
Even better, I drool after the big scholarships that I have a very slim chance of getting. But you never know, one day I might just win the U of T top $60000 (3X$20000) scholarship...
The only thing I really hate and bothers me the most is that most scholarships and top programs require more than just good marks, but they need like significant contribution to your community or like winning awards and contest and stuff like that.
I have a 96% average as of semester one, I have extra-curricular activities and I've won a few minor contests (I was pascal math contest champion
).
So what can I do to put on my university application that could potentially fall into the "significant contribution to your community" category? I really need this because some kid I know got into Harvard Law, just because he started some stupid charity program in his area and he's marks were like below 90%.
