Equal to. It comes from golf. If someone shoots par, it means even with the course’s scoring. In a sentence she’s on par with the others in her professional acting class. This means she is as good as the others in her class.

“par” means “an amount or level considered to be average,” (first definition)… so ‘on a par’ means a person, place or thing is considered about average.

“all other things being equal”

It refers to golf. Par is the average score that an average person should get on an average day without mistakes. So, if you do better you’re above average and if you do more poorly you’re below average.
