You mean currently exams aren't proctored?! I went to the University of Toronto and can't recall a single exam which wasn't.

Stanford is also unproctored by charter.

It's weird, right? The US is just hands down strange in some regards to little procedural things that are important but also easy to implement, and yet for whatever reason don't do and make a big deal over it when it's a complete non-affaire in other countries.
Like voter ID. It's not some partisan issue. None of the political parties are fighting Elections Canada over it and its been around my whole life. Its just not a thing(tm). You go to vote, show your ID and and voilà, done. And yet somehow, this is a "big deal" down south?
I went to university in the US and all exams were proctored. I'm pretty sure that's the case for the majority of universities, this is the first I've heard of non proctored exam
Ivy league schools , imho, tend to operate differently--more hands-off approach. The assumption is if you're smart and determined enough to get in, that you will not cheat. The filtering to get in is intense, so this presumably filters out less honest people.
"Presumably" doing a lot of heavy lifting.
The only possible reason for a school like Princeton that is drowning in cash to not proctor exams is to allow students to cheat.
Also: admissions at all these schools are heavily biased toward wealthy legacy hires, regardless of talent, and the "most determined" are the most likely to cheat.
What's next, claiming the wealthy don't steal?
Of course, why would they need to steal, they're already wealthy!
well yes, you were in Toronto, where there is a very very veeerry high cheating ratio compared to other areas.
