[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because not everyone can apply. They have a GPA cut off just to get your application read. McGill's cut-off is A- so it eliminates all the B students and below applying. Essentially, you start with a much smaller and pre-vetted denominator. [/quote] This is the only answer you need. The other things mentioned here may factor into the process for potential US applicants, but the main difference is that there’s far more transparency in the application process, which allows students to not waste their time if they aren’t qualified to make it past the first round. Many super smart kids from our high school use Toronto and McGill in particular as matches because both have the academic stature to qualify as “reaches” but they function more as “matches” thanks to fairly clear criteria for admission to your major of interest.
