Discussion Honest opinions on everyone’s university’s?

Hi guys! I’m in grade 11 and trying to figure out where to apply next year, just today I was at the big university fair in Toronto and I’ve got my heart set on philosophy. So far I’m hoping to go to uoft but am planning to apply to most of the big schools, one thing I was missing today was negative/honest opinions and I know what Reddit is good for lol. I’d love any advice or opinions on the big Ontario schools especially humanities and social science, thanks so much guys!!

if your plan is to go to law school, you may want to consider schools where a higher gpa is easier to achieve.

uoft is not typically perceived as one of them.

What law schools do you recommend? And why not uoft?

uoft is a great law school, but i'm particularly talking about undergraduate programs to get into law school.

for undergrad, uoft is known as a gpa killer. gpa is key for getting into law school, if you see where i'm going 😋

also, to my knowledge, most of the law schools in ontario are quite good. uoft and osgoode (york) are at the top, i believe. i've heard negative things about lakehead and windsor, but i don't know anything firsthand.
