<p>Canadian universities base their admissions primarily on grades. I’m not sure about McGill, but for MacMaster’s, for example, you need something like a 90% average in 12th grade to get into their Health Sciences program.</p>

<p>Basically, they look at your 12th grade marks, and each program has a cutoff percentage. If you can get a McGill brochure it will give you a much better idea, because it has all the programs and averages listed.</p>
