[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend has a daughter who has always been smart and gifted. Family never pushes her to do anything she doesn’t want to do. She has no extracurricular activities besides enjoying writing and drawing. I don’t think she has any competitions or awards. Both parents attended public state schools. Can a girl like this get into any top schools? UVA?[/quote] No. ECs are very important. However, you can get into the Canadian schools. They're very upfront. Every major and program of study will have different requirements. But they straight up say these are the minimum grades and test scores. If you don't have them, don't bother. But you can look up what it takes to get into McGill or U of T or Queens or whatever. It's very major specific. Every major will be different. And they really don't care if you did a piano recital. Not as familiar with UK schools, but think it's probably similar. [/quote]
