Will a computer science program really care that your English is only 83? |

UW considers English as one of the most important marks though |

How important? More than Advanced Functions? |

UW isn't some kind of educational mecca exclusive only to the world's 10 smartest people (though they do probably attend), it's just another school. CS entrance average is mid-80's. You have high 80s. You'll be fine. |

Well that's somewhat of a relief to hear 
Around when do admission offers generally go out? |

Only the math/CS ones go to Waterloo. The science/humanities ones go to U of T. |

Well considering it's a negative statement, either applies. Don't place too much significance on it though, I was just pointing out that UW isn't exceptionally hard to get into. |

I've heard there's one in March break yess...my friend got into waterloo's mechanical engineering in march break with an average of 91 or 92. but according to the mail they sent me, it said most of the offers are made around may once they process the AIFs and midterm marks carefully. good luck |
