Schools Applied To:
Waterloo - Computer science.
Waterloo - Software Engineering
Brock - Computer science (something like that anyway...)
Application Average:
90
Schools Accepted To:
All
Brock - responded first. mid January. first set of offers. got full scholarship.
Waterloo comp sci - Responded a week later. late January. still first set of offers. only got $2000 scholarship
Waterloo soft eng - I didn't take chem. ended up canceling my application anyway. decided I didn't want to do software engineering anyway
Additional Information:
sent in Waterloo AIF for comp sci and soft eng. That's all. Had a ton of extracurriculars and a lot of work (jobs I mean). Volunteering is good as well. Helps with scholarships anyway.
If you have 85+ average, you're going to get in provided you submit all necessary paperwork like the AIF (or anything similar for other schools).
Anything 80+ average, you're going to get into a VERY GOOD school. Not necessarily the *one* you want, but Waterloo computer engineering isn't the only school for you ... there are many more (just as an example).
And make sure you have at least a 70 in English. If you've got all 90s in maths and computer courses but a 55 in English, you still might not get in. You need a decent (not amazing) English mark as well. |

For Waterloo,what if you have an 85+ average but very few extracurriculars? I don't even have my 40 hours yet. I did do the CCC and the Canadian Open though. But how would my lack of extracurriculars otherwise affect my chances of getting in? (my average is 87% for now) |

W00t I just got my letter of acceptance from UW for CS(on my birthday too ^_^ ).
Applied to:
CS at UW (accepted)
Pure Math at UW (accepted)
CS at WLU (accepted)
My Grades:
CS: 92
chemistry: 88
English: 84
physics: 79 (it's a lot lower than I though)
Calc and Vectors: 95
Advanced functions: 95
My extracurricular was average. I was in 2 clubs, had a job, volunteered at the YMCA and spent a lot of time programming. My average is 88, I though it was 90, but I was looking at my grade 11 mark .Oh well I'm pretty sure I can get it over 90 if I work hard in Bio. |

I also just got my letter from Waterloo. I applied to Western, Queens, and Waterloo, and only Queens hasn't replied yet.
Marks:
English - 90
Spanish - 89
Adv. Functions - 85
Calc - 89
Data - 94
My marks were pretty good, but not amazing. I think what put me over the top was the contests, I got a school medal in for the Fermat and was a division champion in the junior CCC. I also work and play hockey and soccer. |

Waterloo shows a bit of favor to applicants who have written their math and programming contests correct? |

A bit. They play a greater role in scholarships (awarded after the spring round of contests). |

For everyone that has gotten admitted based on their grade 12 marks: have your marks been added on to your OUAC pages or did you send in your marks seperately? |

If you go on the SOCR site for course selection, you will find a transcript of all your marks, including the ones from semester 1 of this year. |

So far got early acceptance to Waterloo computer science.
Additional Information:
Does any one know the main differences between computer science and computer engineering. I have done some research on it but it is unclear. Does either degree have an advantage over the other when applying to a job? |
