@vpa2019, thank your for the StA specifics! She really is intrigued by them - the only recommendation her GC had!
It’s interesting to hear the class time is comparable - I didn’t actually expect that. Good to know office hours and professor availability is limited, though I think she expects that.
No writing center… so weird! When you read for your degree and write for your grade…
And your comment on the social side not resembling grad school - very reassuring! D does want a lively social life. 
@Twoin18 and @vpa2019
Great point! She’s coming to terms with the different grading scales, but to get a free pass for the first 2 years - assuming she does UK grad school - sounds pretty reasonable. Somehow, I think she’ll choose London for grad school - or somewhere even more exotic.
@bouders, B avg in science classes sounds perfectly reasonable - she’ll just have to recalibrate that 60% = B!
The red tape is discussed a lot for McGill, and the locked-out issue is UBC. I think I stumbled on a few posts from unprepared UofT students who were venting a bit. The Dean’s Promise sounds great, as we would like her to definitely be done in 4 years (barring some awesome 9-month coop or internship).
The large lectures are not the issue, more the accessibility of the professor or TAs. It sounds like there is great support though.
LOL on bureaucracy at the Ivy grad school. It’s not funny, I know, but certainly ironic…
Thank you - this is really reassuring, and UofT sounds much more approachable than I’ve been hearing.
