But dont count on it. If your year has a really high average then many programs can easily go up and vice versa. Remember, this is CUT-OFF not average so if you had a mark lower than posted then you wouldn't have made it into the program.

around 10 - 11 for most programs, which is an 80 - 85
Now you know why so many engineers fail out first year

Yeah Id go with this. Most of the more 'competitive' programs are around 5-6. Dont go by last years averages. Those were quite low.

Aim for a 7. Will get into any program bar Biomed and possibly management.

That's BS. You need at least a 4(60%).
With at least an 8, you've eliminated at least 2/3 of all Engineering 1 students.

That's normal because a LOT of people apply for mechanical. There's a reason the average required for engineering physics s just a 4. It's because people get scared of the word physics, so less applications, average is lower than mechanical. |

It all depends on how many people want that stream vs. how many spots are available.

Don't worry about it. If you really want a program, make it your top option. If you don't get in, contact the engineering services people and argue/convince them to make an exception.
