one of my cousins goes to carleton for poli sci. He also got into u of t, laurier, york and other amazing schools, but he chose carleton. The reason for that is its much easier to pull off high marks compared to york, u of t, etc. In the future, if for example law school is where you want to go, its better have marks high as possible, thus, he would choose Carleton over york. They are both good universities but its up to you to decide. Good luck.
