Admission Averages

[RandomLetters]

Comptuer science is merely recommended. I think they will only look at it if it is a high mark for top 6.

thanks!that made me feel better.but does anyone know how high of an average is needed for early admission into CS co op at UofT or Uofwaterloo?

[crossley7]

They take more than just average into account for admission. Waterloo uses Euclid and AIF responses as well as your marks for submission. Toronto I believe uses mostly marks but not sure where their cut off is early admission. Cut off for admission is in the mid 80's

When do early admissions usually go out? And what if I have six U courses already (doing a victory lap right now)?

[apython1992]

I got my admission to UWaterloo in December of my applying year, so I think that's when they do early admissions.

[crossley7]

I believe early admission are as the applications come in. I'm pretty sure they will have another round in February or March. I know U of T says their admissions are sent out Feb - May. Not sure about Waterloo early admission.

early admission in Feburary/March of the grade 11 year???using term 1 grade 11 marks??

[crossley7]

February/March of Grade 12 year. I don't think you can apply until your graduating year (Grade 12).

They need your full grade 11 marks and midterm/final first semester grade 12 marks at least. Mid term second semester marks for the regular admission

[hannibal423]

so,early admission is just,a month or two earlier than regular?=.=

[crossley7]

yeah, pretty much. It isn't all that early but can still relieve a large amount of stress during second semester of grade 12 when you are busy doing just about everything including trying to get as man scholarships as you can.

[hannibal423]

wait lemme get this straight,early admission looks at grade 11 mark,regular admission does not,early admission is few months earlier than regular admission,am i understanding this right?

[crossley7]

Yes. Early looks at grade 11 where necessary and first semester marks and regular looks primarily at first semester and mid term marks for second semester.

The offers are typically conditional of maintaining x average. A scholarship I received recently is guaranteed conditional that I maintain a 92% admission average and attend that university for example.

[hannibal423]

lemme guess,university of toronto?and since UofT has one big scholarship of 2000$ for 92%,is that safe to say that 92% can get you admission?since they are making it sound like 92 is impressive and deserves something special

[RandomLetters]

$2000 is not that much considering that first year costs over $20000 including cost of living. But yes, anything over 90 will pretty much guarantee acceptance. So stop worrying.
