You are still young. I would definitely take all the AP classes you can get so you can raise your GPA. You cant always tell if they will pick you remember many students are going to apply who have 4.0's and who are very well rounded who do sports. Make yourself different by doing something that will stand out. Taking up an internship is always good and shows them that you are dedicated.

Well, as you have it spelled - COLOMBIA that is the name of a country in South America. You can go there with any grades. If you are talking about Columbia, the University then your GPA seems good. It does worry me tho that you can't properly spell the name of the University you hope to apply to.

Does anyone know if we travel into Canada on a Student visa and have TEMPORARY residence in British Colombia, if we are entitled to the MSP (Medical services plan - BC equivalent of UK NHS) and all it's benefits. Can't find any websites confirming this.

You are not entitled to a health plan. Unless you have residency in Canada, pay taxes and work. Best to get private insurance or contact your NHS back home.

Most embassies can print the visa the day after the interview if everything was in order and you were authorized by the officer. You may apply for a student visa up to 120 days in advance, and enter the U.S. up to 30 days before the program start date listed on your I-20 form from the University. It's best to apply for your visa well in advance in case there are any problems or your application requires additional processing. If you wish to enter more than 30 days before the start of the program, you'll need to apply for and qualify for a visitor visa and change non-immigrant status in the U.S. with an I-539 application ($300). You need to make this intent clear to the consular officer at the Embassy/Consulate and the Customs and Border Patrol immigration inspector at the port of entry.
