Not sending AP scores to avoid becoming a U1

3. @Blobof: I’m not sure where you’re getting your numbers. If you’re an out-of-province Canadian, an American, or anyone else in res, there’s a good chance you’re starting in U0. The majority of the people I knew starting in U1 courses were the Quebecois kids, coming from CEGEP, and seeing as most were from Marianopolis, or Dawson, they all sort of knew each other and had cliques already setup.

<p>2/3 of the admissions are from in-province (McGill’s system of admission essientially works that way), and they don’t all come from Marianopolis and Dawson. Though some of those who do come from those two local institutions may have their own cliques already, it’s simply a case of visibility bias (those who come from different CEGEPS and don’t have cliques don’t gather in large groups and are thus less visible than a gathering of cackling private school snotty kids).</p>
