[quote=Anonymous]I’m Canadian and can answer this. We don’t apply to 10-15 colleges like Americans do; we apply to 2-4. All the top universities make clear a year in advance what the score/GPA cutoff is, so only the 95+ average students apply to U of T, for example. Your guidance counsellor would not let you apply or send out your transcript if you don’t meet the score minimum because you’d be wasting everyone’s time and hurting your high school’s reputation. Plus Canadian high schools don’t grade inflate. You add all these factors together, the whole process becomes much less mysterious and stressful, and acceptance rates are higher across the board. The top universities there are more rigorous and tougher to survive than American ones (I also got a degree at a top10 in the U.S. and have families on both sides of the border), but getting in is much easier for the qualified candidates.
