What determines an admission average in university and college?
I have seen engineering having it as high as 93% in McGill university years ago. Also The lowest admission average is 50% in native studies in University of Alberta in 1995. Also some online schools have open studies, like Athabasca university, with no prerequisites other than being 16 years old.

What do you mean by “admission average”? Are you referring to the applicant’s grade average? Or the average number of accepted applicants?
In California, the University of California will accept you into the system with a B average I high school. But you may end up at a less popular campus, like UC Merced.
In Texas, any graduate of an Texas High School is guaranteed admission to the University of Texas. But 35% of freshman don’t make it to their sophomore year.
There are a wide range of grade levels for acceptance from very high to just average. It depends on the University and the desirability of the school.
@zenvelo Applicants grade point average.
It completely depends on the school. I’ve seen engineering schools demand that professors create and teach remedial physics for their first year engineering students because their standards are so low at enrolment, the first years can’t pass university physics classes, so they need to catch them up to avoid high drop out rates. (That was in the US…. it’s different where I live.)
Anywhere from 100% acceptance to just a handfull of 4.0 students. Depends on the degree program and school. Most halfway decent engineering schools used to accept a large number with a “B” average knowing 75% will drop out. Not sure what it’s like now.
Whatever they want it to mean. You’ll have to ask the school to which you are referring.
