[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd always heard that McGill was the most prestigious university in Canada so I was surprised to learn that it has an admissions rate of 46%. [/quote] Different model. Have high/clear/objective standards for admission, no arbitrary cap on enrollment (often driven by dorm capacity in the US), and then use the whole grading scale (not just B- and above). So fewer lottery ticket applicants, everybody who has done the groundwork and can afford not to work FT post-HS gets a chance at a high quality education, and students get judged/sorted based on how they perform in college (HS achievements have little lingering impact). Seems like a pretty sensible approach to me. Would be similar to the top UCs if the system had kept pace with population growth.[/quote]
