Schools Acceptance rates of canadian grad schools

AI Thread Summary
The acceptance rate for Canadian graduate schools in physics and math is generally considered high for applicants who meet the entrance requirements. Many institutions are actively looking for physics grad students, primarily due to a shortage of quality applications. Applicants with decent academic records (80% or higher), strong recommendation letters, and some research experience have a good chance of acceptance, making the overall odds of rejection relatively low.

So if you have decent marks 80+, a good recommendation letter, and some research experience (helpful but not required) you're odds of not being accepted are pretty low.
 
good to know

thanks
