It might not necessarily be what or how subjects are taught but maybe more of a reflection of the students in the seats in courses where the grades are curved. Bottom line if you're coming out of High School with 90's marks and you want to go to Business school or engineering school in Calgary you're not picking Mount Royal over UofC.
This tactic drove me bonkers when I applied to UofC Management.

Luckily, it was the main reason I didn't make it in to the Hasykane School of business. A chunk of students who made it in during my year were MRC students. If I recall only a few of them made it through the rest of the management program.
