Acceptance rates of canadian grad schools

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The acceptance rates for Canadian graduate schools in physics and math are generally high for applicants who meet entrance requirements. Many institutions actively seek physics graduate students due to a shortage of quality applications. Applicants with a minimum average of 80%, strong recommendation letters, and relevant research experience significantly increase their chances of acceptance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Canadian graduate school admission processes
  • Knowledge of academic grading systems, specifically the 80% threshold
  • Familiarity with the importance of recommendation letters in graduate applications
  • Awareness of research experience's role in enhancing application quality
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific Canadian graduate programs in physics and math
  • Explore best practices for obtaining strong recommendation letters
  • Investigate how to effectively showcase research experience in applications
  • Learn about the common entrance requirements for Canadian graduate schools
USEFUL FOR

Prospective graduate students in physics and math, academic advisors, and anyone involved in the graduate school application process in Canada.

Does anyone know what the acceptance rate is for some Canadian grad schools in either physics or math

Not sure the numbers, but from experience it's pretty high, as long as you meet all the entrance requirements. A lot of grad schools in Canada are actively seeking physics grad students, the problem is the lack of "quality applications" or quality applicants. 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
