<p>I am trying to decide between UMiami in Florida and McGill in Montreal for freshman undergrad. I am Canadian so there are obviously huge financial benefits to going to McGill, but truthfully I prefer Miami. My parents are more supportive of McGill for this reason; however will let me go where I want. The problem is I plan on transferring to NYU or GWU after either freshman or sophomore year. McGill has a reputation for being very competitive and I want to ensure I can attain a high GPA. I am nervous that going to McGill will allow me to do so. Does anyone from McGill know if the school is that competetive? Also, what are some selling points on UMiami that I can give my parents (besides small class sizes, more college culture etc.) Thank you!!</p>
<p>also, does anyone have experience transferring out of mcgill to an american college??</p>
