I'm from Western Canada if that's good enough...I was actually just going to ask how you prepare for the SAT World History. I'll probably take it in October. I haven't really taken any history classes though, but I've read a lot of historic novels and am really into history. So I think I may be able to get a good score with a little prep.
I don't really want to publicly post my stats here but I'll PM them to you if you'd want me to.

OK, here's my question for you guys, I meat this girl from Seattle who chose UBC instead of something in the US, and then here's a canadian guy who prefers JHU and the ivies. I don't get it, what phenomenom is more comon, americans in canada or viceversa and why?

The US has the more internationally recognized/prestigious universities (Ivy League, Stanford, Johns Hopkins etc.). While Canada also has some that are well known, they don’t have the same name-recognition with the average person (pretty much everyone has heard of Harvard, probably less people have heard of McGill).

Canada offers a high standard of education, but for a much lower cost than at a comparable US university.

i have to agree with CDN_dancer.

americans in canada would be more rare. The american universities have much more international recognition, and many can argue more opportunities. In the recently published university rankings, McGill is not far off from the ivy league universities in terms of education, while at the same time much much cheaper. In america there is a huge variety of universities, and there's a huge difference between the ivies and the 2nd tiers. In Canada, the universities tend to be more averaged out, so you can expect to have an adequate education almost anywhere in Canada.
