Ivy League vs. UCL, McGill, University of Toronto

<p>I speak perfect french, as I was born and raised in France :)</p>

<p>“Finally, there’s the cultural discovery factor, that must have motivated you to apply to UT and McGill, right?”</p>

<p>Not exactly, I applied because they are good universities but are relatively easy to get into compared to top US universities. My main goal was and is the UK, with Canada as secondary options. The glaring difference, of course, is Law in UK vs, Business in Canada. That’s what I’m trying to get a grip on.</p>

<p>Yeah, my odds would be low in ivy league, but I think I’d land a place somewhere good. Even if not an ivy league, then a very top university. But you’re right, being an international doesn’t help!</p>

<p>I have done some research in Business, have lots of sports, very relevan extracurriculars, lots of community service etc. so I think the 10% could possibly apply to me.</p>

<p>“But why would you even want to? Seriously, in the US, what matters is FIRST how well you do at the school and in the subject/course you chose.”</p>

<p>What do you mean by this? Are you saying the US school system is not as pleasant? I’m not sure I understood.</p>

<p>And yeah, I have a 7/7 in IB Mathematics, thats not much of an issue.</p>

<p>Right now I’m leaning towards taking the UCL offer, as its basically as good as an ivy league, and Law is a very reputable subject especially if I decide to work anywhere in Europe.</p>

<p>Any more advice is VERY welcome :slight_smile: !</p>
