People tell me Comp.Sci. is a path to unemployment

No problem.

High school scores are important when you're first accepted into university, as they are usually the only marks that the university can judge you on. Also they must make sure you have at least a certain knowledge going into certain courses (ie. calculus). However, seeing as how you've already been accepted, all that matters from now on are your university marks and that you're prepared.

Edit: I think the main thing confusing you is the difference between getting accepted into first year, and getting accepted into a major. These two things are not always the same, as is the case at U of T.

Hey Leela, I've been directly accepted to the Computer Science program at the St. George Campus.

It is written application status website as: Program: Studies in Computer Science

Or taken form the email:
We are pleased to inform you that you have been offered admission to the University
of Toronto for the 2009-2010 academic year.
This offer is for the Computer Science admission category in the Faculty of Arts
and Science, St. George campus with membership in New College.

Don't know if its different if you're not coming directly from High School (shouldn't be)- I would recommend you to contact admissions just to be sure. And to also find the procedure & chances of you getting into Comp Sci from what you've been admitted to.

It is not written anywhere Bachelors of Science as the program of acceptance. So, I'm going to assume its first year. But don't be phased. There are a set number of spaces for students coming from general degree program. Would think your chances are pretty high based on what I've read, but don't know what admission base their decision on. You can still do Comp Sci. courses as a Bachelors of Science student. Just make sure you register ASAP when registration opens. (Think its first come/first serve). Also, this can work to your advantage, you can take Computer Science courses and see wether you like it. With the option to switch very easily. Just make sure you contact the admissions, and plan your course choices well to meet any requirements that there may be.

Thanks.
I guess it might have something to do with the fact that I'm not applying from highschool and that I'm starting in summer (to complete the required two courses, as I already have evething else). According to what I'm reading, I shouldn't freak. Rules are rules.
If they don't accept me at the end of the summer (provided I like programming), I'll just accept an offer from York (which I'm sure should follow UofT's admission letter), and let UofT eat their heart out for loosing me to York!

Umm York is pretty bad. The general consensus is that you should pretty much avoid York at all costs. No one from my school applied there. Apply somewhere else.
