Yo do what I did. Join a bunch of clubs. That way the school will look at that and your average. Also try to get into student council. If they add that all up your average will be going over 80's for sure. There is only one thing you have to be in the clubs for at least a month and take place in all the tournaments they have and stuff.
Hope this help's

What do you want to study? Why? Can you write a great essay that explains that to your chosen university? Getting accepted isn't just about grades.

If you don't know what you want to study, then how do you know where you want to go? Are you just buying the hype someone is feeding you about "must-attend" prestigious schools?

Are you being unrealistic about your ability to succeed? If you are doing okay but not great at university level coursework now, what is going to change if you go to a demanding university and take their coursework? You will just magically start getting great grades then?

What is better? Going to a somewhat less demanding university and doing really well there, or going to some "big name" place and barely passing? Ultimately it's about YOU and what makes you healthy, happy, educated and productive.

Stop thinking a fancy school gives you an automatic entrance and think about what you want and why. You'll make better and more mature decisions. You might not intend this, but your attitude sounds condescending and you sound whiny. Neither attitude is likely to make you someone a school will fight to have come to their campus. Sorry if that's harsh, but better to hear it here than from a rejection letter.
