comp eng and comp sci can both apply to software, hardware jobs, or those jobs where a technical degree or a degree related to compsci is required (e.g. business analyst)

comp eng has an advantage over compsci for hardware jobs (there aren't a lot of hardware jobs though)
compsci has an advantage over compeng for software jobs

you won't be a in huge disadvantage though, i've heard of compeng's getting software jobs, and compsciers getting hardware jobs, but i think it would probably be more difficult for a compscier to get a hardware jobs then a compeng for a software job since compeng can do both software and hardware, but compsci doesn't learn enough related stuff to to be able to do hardware

Computer Science students learn a fair bit about the machine hardware. In fact, it's largely comparable to what the Computer Engineering students learn of software (there's a CE student sitting in the cube next to mine).

Both can get jobs in the other field, but both will be at a disadvantage to the "native" of the other field in a competitive job market.

At UWaterloo, there may be some blurring of the distinction; CS has the "Digital Hardware" option, and CE may have something similar; these programs seem to have a bit more cross-over.

my marks finally show on OUAC

but my advanced function course is missing....

no where on the OUAC does it show that i'm taking the advanced function course...
however it showed before my marks show up.

however my other marks are there, except calculus because i just started it now (cause it's semestered)

i asked my friends in my school, they say theirs doesn't show either, i think some1 messed up the marks in our school...

so far my marks are:

94 comp sci
87 data
77 physics
66 english
my 87 advanced function doesn't show....

and i'm getting 98 in calculus right now... what's my chance?

Horus, so far your english mark may deter you for some programs. You did'nt say what you want to go in to...

Oh yea lol.. computer science @ waterloo, UT, mcmaster, carleton all coop

i'm mainly worried about getting into waterloo...

and for english, i'm currently retaking it in a private school, i think i can guarantee that i get over 85% (though -1% overall avg for retaking, and another -1% for taking it in private school)

and oh yea 99 in calculus now XD

I am applying to UW next year (well, this year FOR next year as a parttime student)

I am trying to get rid of some of my first year courses in grade 12....

so far this year, my average is (for the math/cs courses at least):
Calc : 97%
Adv Functions : 97%
grade 12 CS : 100%

They might not look at your marks for a parttime student, but thats what I think....anyone know what the criteria are?

English:91% Smile

Haha! You sound like me: My school is also non-semestered, also getting 98 in calc but it says no mark

Oh, and check your OUAC now, the advanced functions mark is there, because the grade 11 marks (Because it's completed).
Get English up and otherwise you have a good chance for Waterloo, if tht's what you are asking.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Topic: Biology SBI4U 84%
Communications Technology TGJ4M 77%
Advanced Functions(Final) MHF4U 76% Sad
Computer Science ICS4M 90%
English ENG4U 78%
Resource Management CGR4M 94%
Calc and Vectors MCV4U 98%, bot no mark on OUAC

So, with those marks besides calc, how much of a chance do you think I have at Computer Science for: Waterloo, UofT scarborough, and Ryerson?

best in school would be good...

I think >80 is ok...there'll probably be a scholarship for that.

But >90 will definitely have a scholarship.

and does anyone have any advice about my part-time student thing?

i applied to universities, but then decided i need to stay back an extra year.. here were my marks anyways..

Chem: 71 (taking again next year)
Physics: 61 (taking again next year)
Advanced Functions: 77 (taking again next year)
----currently taking----
Computer Engineering : 87
Computer Science: 95
English: 91 (2 quiz's)
Calculus: 91 (only wrote 1 test)

ps. i heard that a lot of people applied to mcmaster for engineering and that there gonna raise there admission average from 80-82 to 85... anyone know anything about that ?

edit: Anyone know whats the lowest average that anyone has gotten in to CE/SE/CS ? @ UW or McMaster and how much the AIF affects your marks
