[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They purposely accept way to many people and fail a ton of them in first year. They don't care about the students.[/quote]

Some programs have very rigorous eligibility and a very low acceptance rate, those one want to keep their stellar top students. More general type programs will have a lower bar for admission (which is part of an inclusive approach to level the playing field) and then those that make it, make it. For example the Arts and Science Faculty has a general first year - where you aren't yet in your major. You take whatever arts and science classes (or are required by the major you want) you want and then you apply to get into your major for second year. This way, they know they are keeping students who can be successful in university, and the students have a better sense of what major they want after one year of school. In Canada 15-23% of university students drop out or fall out during their first year - and don't return for second year. [/quote]
