I'm looking into grad schools too... here's something from the biochem department at Mac. They're looking at averages from B+ for admissions.

11. How difficult is it to get accepted into the Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program?


The requirements listed for the department are the minimum. Typically 1 out of 10 applications we receive are ranked high enough for admission. Note however that we do not accept students according to application numbers, academic excellence is the primary criterion for admission. A good undergraduate transcript is important, but will be carefully weighed with research experience, letters of reference, scholarship support, and publications (if any). Every application is read by all members of the graduate admissions committee and every application is discussed fully at admissions committee meetings.

Low.

When you apply you have a minimum to reach but that doesn't mean you get in; it all depends on the applicant pool.

The program I applied to at Brock last year accepted 9 with a wait list of 2 or 3 out of 200 students. Other programs had a similar rate; about 15-20 students accepted (none of the others had a wait list though) with around 250-300 applicants.

Maybe 20% at the highest; likely closer to 10% or lower.

To find out specific numbers you can ask the department how many applicants applied and how many were accepted, but this information isn't available on websites and the like.
