Question stated above. I have received offers to both programs from Waterloo with high 80s average today.

I prefer self-learning. The course I'm taking has nothing to do with the aforementioned.

damnn you already got into both?

i got an offer from McMaster's compSci and Software engineering but i am still waiting for waterloo's offer in any of those.

by the way, what was your average? mine was 83 (which is kind of low for waterloo, i guess Sad

)

an average of 83 should be enough for cs at waterloo, cuz my average was 83 as well and i got in but only near the end

I'm from A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, my average was 87 if i remember correctly. I only 2/5 way through second semester, so only 4 courses have been done. 87 is average of those 4 courses plus Data Management which i took in Gr.11 which was 87.
