I couldn't agree more with EcceHomo's posts. Arghhh I hate studying in Canada.

Let's be realistic. Very rarely do Canadian universities offer education better than (or on par with) that offered by the American universities. I don't know what the problem is with their selection process; almost every mediocre student who gets okay GPA's is accepted into UT or McGill, or UBC at the least. Given that, it's really no wonder that they have such a hard time getting a good GPA in university.
I have no idea how these universities could possibly rank higher than many of the highly selective American ones... I can say for sure that they're overrated, and that good campuses may have contributed to the "scores". But when I used to live in California, and my brother was applying for his universities, we didn't even know that McGill and UT existed. And trust me, most Americans don't know them. So if anyone's planning on working in America after a Canadian education, well, good luck.

"Let's be realistic. Very rarely do Canadian universities offer education better than (or on par with) that offered by the American universities.... I have no idea how these universities could possibly rank higher than many of the highly selective American ones"

The irony is that if you ask the professors (i.e., the people who are actually teaching and interacting with students), they will consistently tell you that the quality of Canadian undergraduates is higher than their American peers.

The average American college student studies 18 hours a week. Good luck trying to pull that off at McGill.

Don't put all your faith in rankings. They largely evaluate based on the performance and impact (sometimes residual) of faculty. A few brilliant scholars can't make up for being surrounded by people who had to go through an American K-12.

We live in California and my husband is a graduate of U of T and I can say he has never had anyone question his degree nor has it ever held him back from "working in America." And the fact that most Americans/Californians don't know the Canadian universities? Well, most Americans don't know much beyond the Ivy's and what's in their own backyard.
