My teammate was a little annoyed and said he absolutely wanted to beat McGill AT the competition. I said: “Listen. We just beat them. Clearly they’re not even in the same league to compete with us!” It’s interesting that McGill rejected me a few years ago when I was applying to university. Once I got into the co-op I was really glad I didn’t go to McGill, and here’s one more reason why we [Concordia] are better.
Allow me to take this opportunity to make fun of all the schools my friends go to: McGill!
Carleton!
HEC!
UBC!
I’m playin’…anyhow, if I’ve counted correctly the top schools overall are: U of Calgary, which qualified for all 8 events and Concordia, which qualified for 5. Good job boys and girls!
