lol ranking doesn't matter at all
I ranked UofT last behind mac and queens and I got accepted to UofT life sci even after I already accepted my mac offer
so just proves that ordering your uni has nothing to do with your chance of getting into a program

Mac doesn't do that...your average is your average, period. It's really sketchy to say that an 80 at one school is a 90 at another...there's no real reliable way of determining this. As for Waterloo taking it into account, I have doubts about that too.

Wasn't it, you have to rank UofT first in order for them to consider you for early acceptance?

I didn't rank them number 1 but I still got early acceptance

And yes there is no reliable way of saying an 80 at one school is a 90 at another, but I don't mean that literally there's a 10 percent different...I just mean that at some schools teachers/tests are tougher than at other schools so grading isn't really equal.

Yeah, it isn't equal...but regardless of what the difference is, there's no reliable way for a university to take it into account when determining who is accepted. Heck, even within a school, different teachers can grade very differently.
