In pure numbers, the Harvard University admissions are way more competitive than the University of Cambridge. 

At Harvard, the acceptance rate remains around 3% to 4% every year because of a large pool of highly qualified candidates. On the contrary, the Cambridge acceptance rate stands around 21% each year. So, does this mean, it is easier to get into Cambridge?

Maybe. The reason being they both follow very different admission criteria. While Harvard reviews an application holistically, the University of Cambridge admissions are more academically centric.

Unofficially, yes, McGill University, located in Montreal is widely known as the "Harvard of Canada".

It is the country's best institution of higher learning as evidenced by its QS 2027 rankings, where it ranks #1 in Canada and #30 in the world. Look at the pointers given below -

  • McGill University admissions are grade-focused and not holistic review, which makes it more transparent than Harvard's.
  • McGill can be a better choice for students wanting a relatively affordable tuition at a university with high prestige.
