Planning to go to university of toronto or mcmaster uni for business.
I hate sports, can't play instruments, not interested in theatre... So almost nothing is good for me :/

Well, my high school is on the credit system. The more classes we pass, the more credits we get, and we need 28 of them to graduate. I have no idea if that's the system Canada is on. Sorry... :l

There are a lot of students applying to college anymore, so most likely you'll need more than just good grades and test scores to stand out from the rest.  I'm not saying that you won't get in if you don't have any extracurriculars, but they sure can't hurt.  I had Band, foreign travel club, forensics (public speaking), odyssey of the mind, national honor society and various other things on my application.  there has to be Something that you're interested in, or start a club of your own?  That'd look really good on an application.  Good luck Smiley

Not very, as long as you have the marks.Not sure about those schools but 85+ is prolly guaranteed entrance
(pretty much 80+ got everyone in at waterloo regardless of activities)
Edit: extracurriculars are only if your marks are borderline or for scholarships
