So I think I've decided not to go to McGill

<p>

This depends on the program and your plans. Let’s say you plan to work in the US as a teacher (or nurse or other licensed professional). If you get a US degree, the program will be set up to fully meet the requirements for licensure in the state you go to college and likely to be accepted at most if not all states. With a Canadian degree, you are looking at going to additional schooling and expense to get certified before being qualified for a job. Depending on your intentions, maybe this has no impact for you. The other thing is, you are likely to be fielding questions in job interviews for the rest of your life, like, “Why did you go to Canada for college?” or “Are you from Canada?” If you go to BC, that doesn’t happen. Consider this: if a US degree is not more valued, then why is everyone here trying to find out whether a Canadian degree will allow them to get into US grad schools?</p>
