How to read this

Ontario's universities only, Fall 2023. Each university reports the secondary-school averages of its full-time first-year students, by programme category, to Common University Data Ontario (CUDO). Other provinces publish nothing comparable that we can use: Quebec's universities publish the cote R of their last admitted students only in formats we couldn't read, and the rest publish no entering averages at all. Colleges aren't covered.

These figures describe last year's entrants — the share whose average fell in each band. They are not a cut-off or an admission requirement, and a programme category groups several programmes, which can have very different averages: a university's computer science and its general science can sit in different categories, while its honours and regular programmes in one category are averaged together. Universities also weigh prerequisites, supplementary applications, portfolios and interviews. Use this to see where you stand, then check each programme's own admission page.

Last year is not this year: between Fall 2022 and Fall 2023, the share of entrants with an average of 90% or more changed by a median of 6.2 percentage points per university and programme category (a quarter moved by more than 10.6, a tenth by more than 15.5; 230 rows reported in both years). Each card shows the Fall 2022 share above your band where there is one.

Not shown: Université Saint-Paul (reported no entering averages for Fall 2023); Huron University College (its Fall 2023 figures don't add up to 100% for any programme area (they appear to be shares of the whole college), so they aren't shown).

Employment: the Ontario University Graduate Survey's rate two years after graduation for the university's 2020–21 graduating class — graduates employed or offered a job, out of those in the labour force (Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities, Open Government Licence – Ontario). It is for the whole university, not the programme category, and for a federated college it is its parent university's figure.

Cost: Ontario publishes no per-university tuition as open data, so these cards don't show a price. Ontario sets a cap on domestic undergraduate tuition; international fees are set by each university and are much higher — check each university's own fee schedule.
