<p>how about western ontario…i rarely saw its name mentioned in this thread</p>

62

<p>University of Western Ontario (UWO) isn’t known for particularly strong undergrad programs, however it’s Richard Ivey Business School has a solid MBA program. </p>

<p>I’m surprised no one’s mentioned McMaster’s Health Science program yet. It’s quite selective this year (and last), they’ve mostly been accepting 95%+.</p>

63

<p>Read the THES-QS university ranking. McGill ranks 12th in the world. That speaks for itself. Also, coming from abroad, I can say from experience that internationally, Mcgill is much more highly regarded than U of T or UBC or any other Canadian school for that matter.</p>

<p>No… McGill is highly regarded within the US whereas Toronto is the #1 within Canada without any doubt. Internationally, Toronto and McGill should be similar in terms of reputation. That QS ranking ranks McGill higher; however, Toronto ranks higher in every department than McGill (except Med) so I am not sure if that is accurate…</p>

66

<p>^^ I agree.</p>

67

<p>Is it true Queen’s has a better Engineering program than McGill ?</p>

68

<p>realistically these are all really good schools. purely statistically speaking, this year’s admission averages are around :</p>

<p>UBC: low 70s+
UofT: mid 70s +
Queens: low 80s +
McGill: high 80s/low 90s +</p>

<p>uoft might be good for some programs, same for queen’s, but there is no denying that mcgill is by far the most competitive and selective of these universitiets, which i would guess says something about the general quality of their students and education</p>

69

<p>Where are you pulling these statistics from? Queen’s has a reputation within Canada as the most selective university. Well, at least I know for a fact that their students have the highest average entering grade average.</p>

<p>Queen’s may have a better engineering program than McGill - I’m not sure. What matters is that Waterloo and Toronto are more renowned than both of them when it comes to engineering.</p>

70

<p>For engineering programs in Ontario, the most recent reported entrance averages were:
Waterloo 89%
Toronto 87%
Queens 86.9%
others <=85%</p>
