Is 82% a competitive enough mark for University entrance?

Question

I got back my Social Studies diploma mark and my final grade is 82. I have 87 in English. I want to go for a Bachelor of Arts, so are these marks good enough?

Answer 1

Yes, an 82% is competitive for most programs in Canada. What universities/part of the country are you applying for? If you're applying in Ontario then this site will tell you all the admission averages:

If you're applying to outside Ontario tell us the university and I can probably find its averages for you.  

Answer 2

Yes.

Answer 3

There are almost 5000 colleges in the US and 90% of them take almost everyone who applies. It is only the top 100 schools or so that are even minimally selective. You can go to most colleges.
