Are Canadian Students Competitive?

[randommie]

Hi, everyone! I need some help here!

I am currently in the Sociology masters program in one of the better universities in Canada. I just wanted to know where I stand in terms of my competency to get into some of the Ph.D. programs below. Especially, since Canadian schools have different scales of GPA, I have no clue. Any evaluation, tips, suggestions are welcomed!!

U.S. Schools

Princeton

Wisconsin-Madison

UCLA

Michigan

England Schools

LSE

Oxford

UCL

My information:

Undergrad GPA: <2.9> Top 20 Public University in U.S.

Undergrad (2nd Degree) GPA: <86%> Top 10 University in Canada

Graduate Program GPA: <86%> Top 10 University in Canada

GRE: 500 Verbal

770 Math

I have two publications (both first authors, accepted and forthcoming in 2011), of which first is in referred journal and another is a book chapter. I am also in the process of submitting for my third pubication.

I also presented papers at three different conferences in Canada.

I should have very strong LORs, and a good Personal Statement.

Any ideas? Anyone who graduated from Canadian schools?

Thank you for your input and help! I greatly appreciate them!
