[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] American colleges, with their strange insistence on "holistic" admissions, are not very appealing to my teen, who wants to focus on academics and go somewhere that admits based on that. Universities abroad place much greater importance on grades and test scores than those in the US. However, if my teen looks for a job or applies to grad school in the US (it would likely be grad school for him), how will hiring managers or admissions officers view those universities? [/quote] I don't know McGill...but U Toronto required 3 essays, LORs, wanted a full EC list, etc. I didn't get the sense admissions was simply grades and test scores.[/quote]
