<p>A couple of questions from a US applicant:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Can anyone explain why McGill is doing this? Why is it a terrible thing if you took AP exam but still wanting to take the same level class again? Sometimes you had a bad teacher in high school and you feel like you have not solidly learnt the material.</p></li>
<li><p>Why does it matter whether you are U0 or U1? What is the difference besides being in different designation? Don’t you just take whatever courses that come next for you major? Does being U1 require that you graduate within 3 years, while being U0, you can take 4 more years.? Sorry, I am confused, there is something like graduation requirement or some other stuffs that I am missing.</p></li>
<li><p>Does McGill make you graduate in the middle of the year when you have enough credit? If not, why do they make you turn into U1 on the second semester of the first year?</p></li>
</ul>
