Most are not as well known outside of Canada. Montreal is a bilingual city and as a student you will be able to live comfortably in English. There are over , anglophones English mother tongue living in the Montreal area. But as a bilingual city Montreal would provide the opportunity to learn some French, if you so choose. Both schools are very challenging academically in the faculties you mentioned. There are a lot of similarities…both are urban schools right in the middle of exciting cities, surrounded by scads of restaurants, bars, museums, concert halls, etc… Both have a defined campus within the city, with some classic architecture, though non students can and do walk through the campus.
U of T will have a massive amount of Asian students. McGill less so, but it is still very diverse. Toronto is a very large city think Philadelphia. Montreal is smaller, but has a big city feel. McGill itself and Concordia down the street , however, exist in an English bubble. I have lived in both cities, have a son going to McGill right now, and have numerous friends and relatives who have graduated from U of T. McGill will kick your butt, but be somewhat charming about how they do it.
Toronto is an industrial strength army tank that will run you over and leave you in little bits if you let it…but hey, the noodles are good! You really should visit both cities. With a 3. There are many other good schools in Canada so broaden your list. I have a D18 in socal who is also a dual citizen and considering Canadian and US options. Good luck. For psych, U of T requires HS calculus. I think that you should also consider other universities in Canada, such as U. For someone from California, Victoria will have the easiest winters for you to get used to.
French is not needed at all to attend and do well at any of the schools mentioned so far on this thread. If you go to McGill which is a reach with a 3. I do find that if I walk into a store or restaurant in Montreal and ask a question in French, they immediately switch to English clearly a hint of my ability in French and usually seem to give better service since I at least tried.
Be aware that Toronto and to a slightly lesser extent McGill will be quite challenging. In Canada this is not so true since the top schools are relatively easier to get into compared to top schools in the US but are NOT any easier academically. The cost is indeed a reason to prefer schools in Canada, but there are other reasons also. You mentioned that you have very little ECs. This will be much less of an issue in Canada they mostly care about grades, SATs, and references.
You will gain a slightly different view of the world although this would also be true in a different way if you were to go to school in, for example, Texas. With a bigger library collection, the university can offer more books, magazines, online resources, etc. Campus size in square kilometers. The number of students that can be hosted in dormitories.
