In Canada there are no high school SATs and university admission is mostly based on high school performance. Universities there don't seem to have the issues that American ones do.
Living in America now I see a lot of parents spending thousands of dollars on SAT tutoring & preparation.
It seems a lot of things could be fixed just by being able to support and admit more students at the "good" schools? (also not sure why there is such a massive disparity in the quality of colleges here as well)
- sudosysgen 3y agoUniversities in Canada definitely do have issues due to the high school GPA system. In Quebec, it's not present, instead you get in based on a Z-score renormalized based on how good your class was at standardized tests in CEGEP, which itself disproportionately looks at your standardized tests scores and those of your peers in high school As far as the rest of Canada, highly competitive programs have to calculate the strength of a high school to normalize for grade inflation, especially in Ontario. It's a huge problem and makes it unfair for some students who don't go to the right high school.
