    I'm finding conflicting information.

    Shatner was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and is of Ukrainian Jewish descent. He attended Willingdon Elementary School and Baron Byng High School in Montreal, Quebec, and earned a Bachelor's degree in commerce from Montreal's McGill University in 1952.

    From the 1920s through the 1950s, the school predominately catered to Montreal's lower-income Jewish population. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_Byng_High_School

    Although he his often viewed as an American television icon, Will Shatner in fact hails from Montreal, Quebec. Born on March 22, 1931, he attended Verdun High School and then moved on to McGill University where he studied commerce.

    I would think Baron Byng is more likely. Most sites repeating the Verdun information seem to be doing exactly that - repeating information they have copied from elsewhere.

    Most American medical schools, law schools, and business schools require basically two things, high gpa, and high standardized test score (MCAT, LSAT, GMAT, etc.) but if a student does horrible in an undergraduate school, but then leaves that school and goes to another undergraduate school and starts fresh (new gpa) and ace the appropriate standardized test, will he or she be looked at from the new school on, or will the previous bad performance at the previous school affect admissions?
