If someone has absolutely no idea about Canadian going to the USA for undergrad, where can one start?JHW wrote: ↑ It depends on what you mean by "carry some weight".
Undergraduate degrees from places like Harvard and Princeton are impressive, but they don't provide nearly as much of a career advantage in Canada as they do in the USA. And anecdotally, employment in the USA is a big part of why many Canadian students choose to go to American schools at the undergraduate level, so it may be a moot point anyway.
The proportion of Canadian students in a US school's student body has more to do with admission policies and name recognition than whether it is "worth it" or "carries some weight".

They used to have university recruitment fairs (for US universities) in Toronto. Not sure if that is a thing anymore. Otherwise -- seek out alumni (contact the Alumni Association of the school in question) to speak with people who have been through the process.cybercavalier wrote: ↑ If someone has absolutely no idea about Canadian going to the USA for undergrad, where can one start?
Agreed. I think many people contemplate US universities without a clear understanding of what they want, or with misconceptions about how the system works and what it provides or doesn't provide.
