Hi, i plan on one day going to university, either University of Toronto or University of Waterloo. Waterloo is not internationally known while U of T is but it's programs are apparently extremely hard and the bell curves are ridiculous (knowledge from months of forum discussions, couldn't be wrong). I also plan on attending a prestigious graduate school in america one day. So my overall question is, how much does prestige matter? Is it worth it to go to U of T even though its a "GPA dropper" ?
Obviously if someone came out of Yale with a 3.8 gpa and i came out of Waterloo with the same (we had equal letters of rec, essays and experience), he'd get excepted first to the same grad school we applied but for instance (all theoretical), what if he had a 3.6 while i had 3.8 (again same essays, letters and experience) would the student from Yale get excepted first because he's from a VERY prestigious school?
(Sorry for the ridiculous question and spelling)
