>Black & Indigenous students have lower GPA and LSAT/MCAT requirements for admission. Technically, that does mean that somebody of a different race can be passed over for a seat even if they have a stronger application since there are limited seats
Source? I'm not Canadian but I had no idea that Canada had a similar system.

That's not going to happen in the near future.
In America, that's never been the case.

That's so icky to me.
Is this not illegal in Canada as well then?
And to have it so brazenly on a site is beyond outrageous.
At least schools in the US try and pretend that they don't use it often (not saying it's acceptable but it's outrageous to me either way).
>I prefer the way some other schools in Canada do it, by looking at economic factors instead. Instead of asking "are you race X", they ask "Have you ever been to a good bank, are your parents unemployed, etc".
I have no problem with this.
That's how the UK does it at the moment.
