Notable

The University of Toronto is Canada's largest and highest-ranked university, with three campuses (St. George, Mississauga, Scarborough). Admissions are program-specific -- students apply directly to a faculty or program, and acceptance rates vary enormously (Arts ~60% vs. Computer Science ~6%). There are no admissions essays or extracurricular requirements for most programs; evaluation is primarily academic. The "college system" at St. George campus assigns students to one of seven colleges, each with its own residence and community. International student fees are among the highest in Canada.
