The end goal for me is law school and I’m debating between these two schools and programs because I don’t know the best path for me. The International Econ program is appealing because it’s a small program of only about 80-100 students and there are a lot of opportunities integrated into the program, like internships, co-ops, and exchange programs. Although, the program is more difficult, compared to a regular BA which I would do at McGill. McGill is appealing because of its reputation and because I am an IB student, I can declare my major right away, and because it is a BA, it would arguably be easier to get a higher GPA and to get into a law school of my choice. idk if the opportunities at UBC, outweigh the difficulty of its program?
Neither program will necessarily be easier or more difficult to get a higher GPA. Your GPA will depend on you and how hard you work which will depend on how much you enjoy what you are doing.
