Because Americans for some reason equate admissions rate with quality of university.
Northeastern is a piece of crap compared to Toronto McGill or any of the top 15 UK universities, and yet, it’s admission rate is lower.

Please…

Toronto - top 20
McGill - top 35

McGill would be similar than UK schools like Durham or St Andrews in that T30-t35 US level.

Matriculate to Harvard and you've already won. Matriculate to McGill, and the game's just getting started.


Lol, I know lots of "losers" who went to Harvard.

If you’re a US student who can’t get into St. George campus, would it make sense to go to like Scarborough? How many people in US would ever know difference when you graduate? Would resume just say Univ of Toronto?

This is simply untrue and probably posted by a parent worried about their own child’s admission prospects to a Canadian university.

The problem with Canadian school is grade deflation. You can do amazing and get a 3.0, but that will kill you when you apply to grad schools in the US. I went to McGill and did great (but worse than a 3.0) and ended up going to a crap law school and transferring to a T20 after the first year. Just something to think about…

Mi would rank them even higher.

Any U.S. student who gets into one of the top Canadian universities would be a fool not to go there.


This is not an accurate statement.

Maclean's college/university guide is an excellent resource.

McGill & U Toronto have very large classes usually for one's first two years. Heavy drinking culture at McGill (which can be dangerous for new freshmen based on decades long tradition. Think dangerous hazing essentially.)

McGill & U Toronto might rank close to U Michigan and UC-Berkeley.

Realistically, they'd be equivalent to mid-to-high-tier public schools in the U.S. Research output from UofT would be T20, though that doesn't mean much for undergrads, if at all.

We will know in a year or two when they are US schools.

Toronto’s Asian population is growing by leaps and bounds. And I suspect that will translate into more competition for the country’s two top schools.
