[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]University of Toronto is currently the top Canadian university. I don't think you can call it a target.[b] I don't care who you think your kid is.[/b][/quote] OK I agree with others that this may be rude, but I can see where the misunderstanding lies. Unlike many Stateside schools (looking at you, Colby, NEU) Canadian universities do not encourage (and some do not even accept) applications from students who are not capable of succeeding at the university. A school with a 43% acceptance rate may look like a "safety" by U.S., standards, but the applicants will ALL be highly qualified. Canadians might understandably be annoyed by the implication that their premier university, ranked in the world's top 20 universities, would be considered an easy admit by some Americans. [/quote]
