These numbers are built from 22 anonymous admission reports submitted by real applicants to Chemical Engineering (4 years) at University of Ottawa, filtered for duplicates and statistical outliers. They reflect reported top-6 averages, not official cutoffs — universities do not publish admission floors, and offers can depend on supplementary applications, course rigor, and applicant pool strength in a given year.
Most accepted students reported averages between 89.1% and 95.5%, with a median of 93.8%. The published competitive average is 84%.
