What are the admission requiremtens if I want to get into physics? Just general Physics or Quantum physics if it is offered.

Also, which university is better McGill or U of T?
Please don't start huge arguments over that.

Also, can you post a link to the McGill admission page. I can't seem to find it! I need to know which courses I need to apply with, and what my average should be between them.

I was reading a place where it said you need a "B" Average. I don't think so.
I was thinking more 85% "A"

Off topic but please don't ask meaningless questions like "which university is better ... ".

Btw I don't think mcgill has a Ugrad physics program... I might be wrong though.

Check for yourselve http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/
 
Well, I was thinking for McGill you'd need above a 90% average to get into the Honours Physics Program, and U of T is most likely the same. I can't comment on the quality of the schools but I'd imagine them to be about the same.
 
Ask nicksauce, he went to McGill for Physics.

Indeed, feel free to ask me anything about the program, though things about admission requirements would best be found here http://www.mcgill.ca/applying/undergrad2011-12/

McGill most certainly has an undergrad physics program.

Excuse me for that. When I looked at the admission page I didn't see anything like that.

You took it the wrong way my friend.

That question means a lot to me.

I want to know how each school treats their students, how easy is it to get help etc.

Nicksause ill be messaging you soon :D
 
Ahh I found it!

Science
Biology - NYA (00UK)
Chemistry - NYA, NYB (00UL, 00UM)
Mathematics - NYA, NYB, NYC (00UN, 00UP, 00UQ)
Physics - NYA, NYB, NYC (00UR, 00US, 00UT)

Now what do the course codes mean?

Im guessing Physics Calculus and ...
Are these even course codes?
 
Arts and Science (B.A.&Sc.) 87% overall;
77% in each English or French
and 80% in each math and science course in Top 6 4U English or French;
4U Calculus and Vectors;
two of 4U Biology, Chemistry or Physics


Oh I got it!

Is the 87% between the 6 I apply with or just the 4 stated above?

This was quite a while ago, but I think something like ~85% in language/humanities classes and ~93% in math/science classes.
 
In case you are still wondering what those course codes mean, they are cegep courses(quebec pre-universitary program). I am currently taking them. These are the courses...

General biology
general chemistry, chemistry of solutions,
calculus 1-2 and elementary linear algebra
physics:mechanics, waves and optics, electricity and magnetism
