It’s easier for Quebec students to get into McGill because the university seperates applicants into 3 pools: Quebec residents, Rest of Canada and Internationals. Quebec residents get 2/3 of the acceptances, other Canadians 2/3 of what’s left, and Internationals the rest. Then it’s just a matter of number of applications from a particular pool to the number of places for that pool (well, aside from required grades of course, if you’re a Quebec student with scores below the prerequisite, you still won’t get in).
