<p>yes, the ranking came about within the past few months, i believe.</p>
<p>oh, that was an example, the funding thing…</p>
<p>i was there this past weekend, me and my mom read A TON of mcgill magazines, brochures, and other literature…in the alumni catalogue they had a great article about top schools’ spending per individual student. McGill’s is quite high, but since it is government funded (aka not extremely high-priced like. for example, private schools in the US), it has a harder time keeping up with the quality of life and academics that the schools mcgill is often comparted with, such ivy leagues, umichigan, UCLA, etc. can provide. </p>
<p>so basically mcgill is starting a huge fundrasing campaign so that they can spend and provide more for each individual student, so even though it is already an excellent school, they can really look like they earned their high rankings, instead of just sitting on that without working towards being an even better school. but i digress. hope that cleared things up.</p>
<p>ugh my parents are being so annoying about stuff…i think its pretty obvious ive researched mcgill and what it can offer quite a bit, but they dont believe it/are still really skeptical…</p>
