@ubcucsd: wow thanks, that’s really insightful :)

The story is, i got into UBC and McGill arts (yes, i’m planning to major in econs as well and maybe political science as my second major or minor).

Getting a good job after graduation (not necessarily finance though) is a priority for me, so getting internships or co-op really matters to me.

Initially, i’m leaning to McGill but keep hearing how it pales in comparison to UBC especially in econs. Also, not to mention that its pretty difficult to get a job or internships in Montreal as compared to Vancouver due to the language barrier.

I did consider UofT too but heard how it can be a GPA killer and thus defeat my chances of getting a job (considering that i’m not exceptionally intelligent).

So what do you suggest?
