[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they are mediocre maybe mid-level state schools like Jmu or UMBC, they are very easy to get into and massive not that impressive outside of canada. UVA, UMD, and even Virginia Tech have lower acceptance rates. [/quote]

You just showed you haven’t done your homework.

Canadian universities have high acceptance rates compared to American colleges b/c they don’t play the game where they tell everyone you have a chance to get in, collect your $95 app fee to raise millions then reject you to flaunt their low acceptance rate. In Canada, they post what grade and score you need to get in, and your high school wouldn’t even let you apply if you don’t meet the criteria. It’s like that in most of the world. Oxbridge does this too. Then you have Northeastern in the U.S. who pretends they are harder to get into than Cambridge. And parents play along so they can brag their kids get into a top school. For U of T that cutoff is typically 93-95/100. And they don’t grade inflate so none of this half the class has 4.0 BS like we do in America. The rest of the world gives out Cs and D’s daily to their kids. [/quote]

How did they end up with 80,000 students?[/quote]

U of T has around 45,000 undergraduates at its main downtown Toronto campus. The 80K number comes mostly from grad students (they have the top law school in Canada and also highly rated (often #1 rated) grad and professional schools. They also have two satellite campuses but St. George (downtown) is the main one.

So it's similar to UC Berkeley in terms of size (Berkeley has 35K undergrads) and U of T has the highest national prestige in Canada and is also very well regarded globally. [/quote]
