So, I just found out my marks today and my Calculus and Vectors marked dropped to an 83%. Now, I am very keen in mathematics, and I thought I had a good grasp of the understanding. All(excluding calculus MCV4U) are above 90 or close to 90. Now, this is a big deal for me since I never got a mark this low in ANY math class. I am now going into Computer Science UWaterloo, where my MCV4U is one of the important (only important course IMO ) that I will be taking into Comp Sci. Now, Should I have accepted Computer Engineering at Waterloo instead? Where computer engineering not only utilizes mathematics but science too. Also, my TEJ4M is a 94 and my ICS4U is a 91(maybe, i should have trusted my marks and picked the right program where the recommended courses were at the highest?)

Relax, you'll be fine. If anything, let this encourage you to focus on your Calculus in the first two years of CS at UW, which is the downfall of a lot of students, myself included.

Your high school marks will be forgotten soon enough. I know 7% seems like a fair bit right at the moment but in about two years you'll realise that's nothing at all.
