<p>What US schools would be considered similar in academic respects to U of T and UBC? Trying to get a feel of the drop in quality that people are talking about, and the only way I can really get a grasp on it is to have US equivalents. I’ll be applying to UBC as a transfer student b/c of Vancouver and the skiing. Does anyone know how transfer friendly UBC and U of T are? I’ve heard Canadian schools are based solely on grades and test scores.</p>
