Thanks for the comment Auslander :) I really wish I could be more help Sniping_G but I tend to get lost in careercruising layout and that was all I really had going for this topic.

Sniping_G: high averages are only part of it, buddy. schools grade different ways and many teachers pad grades to make themselves appear more proficient or to otherwise meet standards passed by inept government officials looking to get re-elected.
in turn, institutes of higher education also examine your coursework. they look to see how many advanced classes you took as well as the diversity of your classes. extra-curricular activities, teacher aiding, and volunteering all help, as well.

actually, work experience looks good, too. that show's you have a responsible and independent spirit and would most likely not have a problem working hard in school.

i don't think they have GED's in canada, ireland...or at least not by our system.
considering 40 hours is your minimum, i would at least try to double that. also, work in a variety of places to show you have a range of interests and social responsibilities.
