Hi guys this is my first post Very Happy

I'm a BC student in Gr.12 who wants to major in Software Engineering or Computer Science at the University of Waterloo.
So far, I've completed

Computer Programming 12 95%
Physics 12 83%
English Literature 12 Honours 90%
Math 12 Principles 93%
AP Computer Science A 93%
AP Psychology 89%

This year, I'm taking AP Calculus, AP Macro/Micro Econ, AP Statistics, English 12, Chemistry 12, Digital Media Development 12. I also took the Mathematics Contest from Waterloo since grade 6 (Gr.7 Level Gauss to Gr.11 Fermat and Gr.12 Euclid). This year I'm going to try CCC and the Sun Life Contest.

What is my chance of getting into Waterloo and or U of T? I also have a bunch of extracurriculars. How much and how many programming language/knowledge/experience do you need for Software Engineering?
thx in advance

For both programs they say the entrance average is selection from the mid 80's. Looking at your marks, you should have no problems. Just make sure you have the required courses.

As long as your chem, eng, and calculus marks are on par with the rest of your marks in the 90 range you should probably get in fairly easily.

I'm kind of hoping you are comfortably into those programs since I'm hoping to get into one of those 2 myself with similar marks.

If you do really well on CCC and Euclid you will be in an even better position. Not sure how influential Sun life is though... but it is nice to say you won Canadian open with contest amongst your school (going for back to back this year and for revenge on ccc. Lost that by 6 points last year)
