[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC applied to both systems this year and the UK and Canadian systems are so much more straightforward.

Effectively, absent being a highly recruited athlete or a development family (potential large donor), students applying to the elite universities have to ED or reduce their chances of acceptance by a significant amount.  Without ED, acceptance rates would be higher and likely yield would be slightly lower.

We are very lucky in that my DC got accepted to a top 10 in ED, but they had to give up all other choice to get that.  To the extent they worry about managing their enrollment, I do not believe that schools are unable to develop an accurate algorithm for managing RES/EA/RD only admissions.  [/quote]

Not all Canadian college application processes are the same, so you can’t claim the “Canadian” system is easier.

Since all the top UK and Canadian schools are public, you can only really compare to public US schools…but again for Canada you have to distinguish between applying to Toronto vs McGill as examples.  Toronto for my kid felt very similar to applying to a UC school.
