It shouldn't be too hard, especially if you have great grades. Be sure to take the most advanced classes that are offered (AP courses, if your school has them). American schools like well-rounded students, so you should also participate in some sort of extra-curricular activity, be it sports or music or math club; and if you can be the team captain or club president or secretary, all the better. Being fluent in 3 languages is definitely a plus!
Buy an SAT prep book, if you haven't already. You probably don't need to take an SAT prep class, but that is an option (I bet they have them on line, if there aren't any in your area).
Good luck! I knew several Canadians when I was in college (in the US), I even dated a Canadian classmate of mine for a few years.

Hmmm... How well are your grades precisely? You should not be so certain that you'll be able to get into all Canadian universities. I've recognized folks making use of to the University of Toronto (simply as an instance) with 90s who bought grew to become down. It fairly is dependent upon the subject. What precisely do you wish to fundamental in? I might endorse that you simply get began to your programs for those who wish to visit the US even though. To my abilities, the ones colleges (primarily NYU and Chicago) are VERY aggressive. And its nonetheless no longer too overdue to get concerned - volunteer throughout this last yr! Good good fortune.

Well, I live in montreal (which had a slightly different system than toronto but still) and at the end of my last year of high school they gave us a choice if we want to do the SAT's or not (because they aren't necessary to enter Uni here).
