| Mar 20 at 2:04 | comment | added | Ben Webster | @paulgarrett I don't know where the OP is originally from. In many countries it is normal for university programs to have a set score on an exam where you really will be admitted purely on the basis of hitting that requirement. Canada doesn't quite have that system, but for undergraduate programs, they will be pretty explicit about what you grades you need to get in, and I think for programs that aren't super competitive, those are fairly accurate. This is all out the window for graduate programs, of course. | |

| Mar 19 at 21:21 | comment | added | paul garrett | ... for that matter, I'd worry that if places admit all qualified students, that there'd most likely be inadequate mentoring/advising... | |
| Mar 19 at 21:21 | comment | added | Arfin | Thank you for your response, really appreciated it. | |
| Mar 19 at 21:20 | comment | added | paul garrett | I do not know much about the current situation in Germany... | |
| Mar 19 at 21:19 | comment | added | Arfin | @paulgarrett What about programs taught in English in European countries like Germany? | |
| Mar 19 at 21:08 | comment | added | paul garrett | In the U.S., and, I think, Canada, you'd not be admitted on the grounds of having sufficiently good credentials. Graduate departments have limited capacity to adequately advise and mentor students. Not to mention limited funding and/or tuition support, etc., for students. It's all limited, no matter how wonderful the prospective students are. | |
