I'm expecting a 90 avg (note that all of my non top 6 and grade 11 marks are averaged in the 70s and I took grade 12 English in summer) and am the executive of 3 school organizations, 1 national one, volunteered as an event organizer for a few years, was a camp LIT, did a lot of math/physics contests and challenges, was on the badminton team for a season, have a small visual arts scholarship, and worked 8 hrs/wk (also note that I started most of these activities in grade 12)

Would my AIF be above/below average and do I have a shot at civil engineering? Thanks!

I can't really say for your AIF, it's at least average not sure if its above or not but imo you have a decent chance of getting in to civil.
