After reading the admission averages on the university websites I was feeling pretty confident but after reading some admission stories I've become pretty nervous so I'm just wondering what my chances are like from people who have already been accepted or are currently taking the program.

Programs applied to:
Computer Science (Co-op) University of Waterloo
Computer Science (Regular) University of Waterloo
Computer Science University of Toronto

High school marks (took a year off to work and pay for some tuition fees):
Calculus 90
Adv. Functions 90
English 90
Physics 83
Chemistry 86
Philosophy 86
University guitar course: 98

Top 6 average: 90

Any other good computer science program recommendations would be nice too.

I haven't looked it up recently, but I remember reading some statistics about which schools had their graduates hired out the most, and it was something like

1. UW (by a longshot)
2. UT
3. Carleton U

UW and UT are the best though, so beyond that I don't think the choice of school matters as much.

If I recall correctly, there's a spot on the AIF to explain circumstances for your marks, such as your family issues.
I suppose extracurriculars would be helpful, since the AIF does ask you to list them out.
Any Waterloo contests are also good, so consider signing up for the Fermat and CCC this year (although I'm pretty sure it's too late for both Sad ).
