currently in semester 1 i have garde 11 physics, chemistry, computer science and math. in semester 2 i have grade 12 computer science, grade 12 graphics, grade 11 computer engineering. i am thinking of taking grade 11 and grade 12 english online. I have above 95% before and after exams in computer science university level and mid-90s before exams and high 80s after exams in math. I would like to apply for comp sci at waterloo university, so i need to know how much of a chance of getting accepted at waterloo university with a high 80s average, possibly 90s. I am planning on taking all the grade 12 math courses in grade 12.

i want replace current physics with a spare, so i would have a spare in semester 1 and semester 2 in grade 11 (currently in grade 11). i will take another 2 spares in grade 12, so i need to know if they affect my chances of getting accepted into universities. Also, does taking English online affect my chances also? plus, i have no extra-curriculars as of this point btw.

I appreciate all answers, but i would prefer it people who are currently have nrolled in university with comp sci could answer. thanks again.

ur chance is almost 100% if u keep ur average above 85%, and especially if you have a high english/calculus mark. They would kind of frown at taking english online but hey.. what can you do. If you have a good mark they'll accept you anyways. I say you'll get in easily.

I don't know about other boards, but I believe that TDSB requires you to have at maximum, only 1 spare in eleventh grade.
