College Search & Selection

<p>What makes them different from each other? I really want to apply to one of them, but they both seem so similar....</p>

<p>btw, I looked at both, and the app fee for McGill was CAN$80 but CAN$180 for UofT? (for the university itself and then that Ontario-wide application...) Is this all sounding correct?</p>

<p>Any insight into which you think is better in terms of scholarships, finaid, the "city", and academics (Particularily for the liberal arts)</p>

<p>And, haha, what are the acceptance rates for each? Their websites and terrible and I couldn't really find any good literature...</p>

<p>McGill, as far as I know is cheaper than UofT.
Toronto's a better city to live in.
McGill is tougher to get into as compared to UofT.
I don't think UofT should be $180. More like $100. Check again ...</p>

<p>personally i would prefer mcgill. mcgill is definitely tougher to get into. i am an international. i have seen kids with D's in the A-Level exams get into UofT.</p>

<p>U of T is a breeze to get in to. They'd let a mentally handicapped infant in to U of T...
OK, I'm exaggerating, and that was rude..hahaha anyways my point is that McGill is better. And Montreal is a MUCH better city to live in...are you on crack 20LEGEND?</p>

Depends on what you want to study. Last time I checked, McGill didn't offer programs in Near Eastern Civilizations or Celtic Studies, but Toronto does.</p>

<p>Remember that the U of T is a massive school, with around 70,000 students. McGill is less than half that size.</p>

<p>I live in Montreal and I think it's a great city to live in.</p>
