[And nothing else. Courses Year. Lant Homepage. Getting In. I applied to college one evening, after dinner, in the fall of my senior year in high school. College applicants in Ontario, in those days, were given a single sheet of paper which listed all the universities in the province. It was my job to rank them in order of preference. Then I had to mail the sheet of paper to a central college-admissions office. The whole process probably took ten minutes. My school sent in my grades separately.
I vaguely remember filling out a supplementary two-page form listing my interests and activities. I put the University of Toronto first on my list, the University of Western Ontario second, and Queen’s University third. Am I a better or more successful person for having been accepted at the University of Toronto, as opposed to my second or third choice? There was, first of all, that strange initial reluctance to talk about the matter of college at all—a glance downward, a shuffling of the feet, a mumbled mention of Cambridge.
