[quote=Anonymous][quote] Canadian colleges have a very different approach than US colleges. Their view is accept everyone that meets a minimum threshold (which isn't impossible), but then its on the kids to either do well or drop out.[/quote] Actually this isn't a "very different approach" at all. It's the same approach that most US land grant flagships take toward their in-state applicants: let many in, but then weed out those that can't make it. Toronto and McGill graduate about 80-85% of matriculating undergraduates, and that's comparable to big US flagships. Yet again Canadians show they understand US institutions less well than their (frequently smug) comments about Canada's "different approach" suggest. [/quote]
