How this list is built

Averages are the typical ranges we list on each program page, converted to percentages. They are estimates for planning, they change every cycle, and several programs also weigh a supplementary application. Programs most students enter after some university study (medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, law, pharmacy and teacher education) are left out, as are programs admitted by audition.
