"American students have a misconception that just because Mcgill is easier to get into, it’s not as great of a school. "

Not this American. The misconception I had was that McGill was harder to get into than it apparently actually is. Because I’ve always thought of McGill as being very presitigious.

“Compared to the elite American schools, McGill can’t compare.”

Depends on how you define “elite”, are #s 20-35 “elite”? Considering there are thousands of institutions of higher education. Because I think in this range accepted cross-applicants would seriously consider McGill. But that’s just my impression.
