Different Universities have different standards.  Usually acceptance is based on grade point average - your final grades in high school.  I would suggest that you look at the schools you may want to attend and contact their international student support.  They Will be able to give you a much better understanding of what the requirements are.  One thing I am sure you will have to do at any university is an English placement test to make sure your language skills are up to par.  I know at my university all international students had to take the test.  Of course that may have changed, I graduated over 10 years ago.
