1999. For some, it looks like it was as low as 60%. General studies had a guaranteed admission of 70%. Even Engineers could maybe get in with that. Though once in General Studies you could work your way up to anything.

I am surprised by those U of C numbers from 1999. When I went to the University in the mid/late '80s (not the U of C) I recall the admission average for Commerce and Engineering were in the '80s.
There is some grade inflation showing up in the Fraser Institute data, but not to the degree that the U of C averages from 1999 would indicate. The overall Grade 12 average was 69.9 in 1999 versus 74.1 in 2019. (Exam mark + school versus exam difference)
