Canadian Universities

<p>Universit</p>

<p>Lol, I liked the UofT campus more, I dont know about the city. I did find Montreal kind of dull though.</p>

<p>it is ***ing dull bro,,,,, i live in there,,,,everyone speaks french here, except few anglo area</p>

<p>I don't see how speaking French makes a place dull. Of course, if you think you can't have any fun if you don't speak French there, then that's where you're wrong.</p>

<p>Liking the UofT campus of the McGill one (as a campus) I can understand.</p>

<p>"Where's Mcgill?" Mcgill is in Montreal. Where's Montreal? Montreal is in the province of Quebec in central Canada. Where's Canada? Canada's the second largest nation in the world covering a land area of 994 million square kilometers. Find an atlas. Go figure.</p>

<p>I want to major in Econ/English/Psychology and might go on to law school.
here's my list:
UT
McGill
Queens
I DONT NEED ANY CHANCE EVAL. I HAVE SAFETIES!!!
I need some more REALLY good Canadian schools. Thanks!</p>

<p>you have them all
there is no REALLY good CANADIAN schools</p>

<p>agreed. </p>

<p>this may seem a bit general, but big universities in canada arent undergraduate focused and everyone who applies makes it in (with three or four exceptions (i.e. health/art sci at mac, engineering at uft, act sci at waterloo). the admissions in canada for undergrad is sort of sad actaully. </p>

<p>also concordia is terrible! york has the worst rep....</p>

<p>queens is alright but that's where EVERYONE goes (especially those out of private school), and the commerce mark limit went down to an 85%, and an essay.... please. everyone i knew who applied (4 people) made it in without working hard at all.
because thats what admissions in undergraduate canada is considered.
no stress, no work.</p>

<p>That's because getting in should be the easy part.</p>

<p>concordia is really bad, its like a comunity college, except its commerce, but the school is bad, people apply the school in JULY and got accepted in 3 days.............</p>

<p>Science at McGill is difficult to get into?</p>

<p>blobof,
you really think that?
wouldn't you prefer to have all of your classmates at the top their highschool class? to have the most experiences? to have the best writing and thinking skills of all our peers? </p>

<p>i think a school with a more selective attitude would be a better school in general because of the social and intellectual aspects of being with the best!</p>

<p>of course, otherwise why Harvard is always the best, because it has one of the lowest acceptance rate, so only best people go there</p>

<p>if you have above 95%, you can go every where without give a ****^^</p>

<p>Yes I do believe it. Getting your degree should be harder than getting accepted into a college. Honestly, from a financial point of view, why waste resources reading BS essays and CVs when grades are a perfectly fine predictor of undergrad success? </p>

<p>Besides, most of my classmates were at the top of their highschool classes anyway, though I'm much happier with just friendly, hardworking, cooperative and humble classmates, regardless of their highschool accomplishments.</p>

<p>Blobof, what school r u in now?</p>

<p>blobof:
yes, those sorts of classmates are preferable, but you can't always get them based on purely grades.
and if you don't work hard in high school, could it indicate that you won't work hard in university?
what do you mean by humble though? happy to be there? happy by the other classmates achievements (because that wouldn't work, as only grades are taken into account).</p>

<p>i guess it just depends then.</p>

<p>liangshengtm:
harvard has alot of prestige, but whether people there are nice or mean, you at least know that they deserve to be there.</p>

<p>thats what I meant, LindsayRees</p>

<p>okay, i am glad that i understood you</p>

<p>I did my undergrad at McGill. And humble in the sense that they don't try to rub their past accomplishments in other people's faces. Most people quickly realize that being the top in a high school environment often does not translate into being the best in college. Those who don't "deserve to be there" usually fail out or change programs within the first year.</p>
