Both are very selective at granting admissions to students & only consider highly qualified individuals. The universities are neck & neck in terms of their acceptance rates, with the University of McGill acceptance rate standing at 48%, while that of University of Toronto is around 74-76%. It can be said that U of T is marginally easier to secure admisisons at as compared to McGill Uni.
Candidates interested in admissions at either institute must perform really well in past academics & university level exams & maintain a professional resume that stands out from the rest to have the best possible chance of securing a seat.
