If you are worried about getting in, apply to many universitys, if you apply to all that you listed (you can apply to more then 3 if you pay more, i applied to 18 when i did it.) and keep an average about 70% in each coruse i say you have a 99% chance of getting in to at least one.

I find it interesting that you applied to 18 and none of them were Waterloo

Can people that have just below the required average expect to get a conditional offer BEFORE the deadline of May 28? Or do they only get in if there is more space available after May 28?

Thats up to the university about when they send out the offers. I have seen people get conditional offers that say they have to keep there average above 70% in first year if they had lower then the required average but again thats totally up the university and it changes every year, how many are applying for that program and how much space they have.

I would say it is unlikey to get in after the deadline but that is just a guse not based on much.

Does this happen often to people that are just below?...like 1-2%. Oh and this is midterm marks for second semester I'm talking about, not final. So does that increase my chances of getting accepted? And does the application still be considered if the average lower than the cutoff? I just read somewhere that the university does not consider applicants who are below cutoff.
