Canada Is Such A Solid, Civilized, Level-Headed Country. Consider UT, My Alma Mater

What is the acceptance rate at the University of Toronto overall? What about for the faculty of arts and sciences?

Acceptance rate is not really a thing in Canada. That’s a US metric.

In Canada, the smart students look at the entrance averages. That means the grade cut-off for acceptance. If your marks in Grade 12 are above the cut-off entrance average, there is a 99.5% chance you will get in.

Since students have a rough idea of the entrance average requirements, and they know their own marks, they don’t apply to schools where they have no chance of getting in. If your marks are borderline, it’s worth a shot.

That’s why the “acceptance rate” at Canada’s top school (U of T) is 50%, when top schools in the US are 2%.

Predictability.

So forget about acceptance rates and get your marks up.

I am an American citizen and proud graduate of the University of Toronto where I received world-class education at the same steeply subsidized cost as Canadian citizens. 

My five years in Canada -- 1965 through 1970 -- taught me the difference between Civilization and Barbarism.

Alan: Most people have a sense of "individual karma" - in Christian terms, "reaping what we sow."
But there is also "group karma."

If there is a God - and God harbors the qualities of both Justice and Mercy - we are well-advised to pray for mercy.
