Not sure what the cutoff was but it is typically one of the hardest to get into. Last year, according to a prof, it was the highest average. I would aim for a 9 to be safe (and at that you will likely have one of the lowest averages in the class). HOWEVER you really shouldn't have a target. Targets tend to become reality as you slack off once you meet your mark. Also Elec Biomed does not increase the number of seats each year because doing so would require complete cooperation between ECE, Science and Health Science for requisition of seats.
People certainly go into Medicine but almost always do it over 5 years rather than 4 so If you want to go that route doing it in 5 years is highly recommended. But if you want med school you shouldnt be worrying about getting into elec biomed because you should have min 11.0 average. Other students either grad school (Mac and UFT have Grad Biomedical programs, UFT being the more popular one targeted towards clinical).
A lot of biomeds also go direct into industry into a software or other ECE position. Those who have done internships often have guaranteed jobs before going into their final year. Some finad jobs in the biomed field but those positions are very few in Canada
