Post here if you're going to University of Waterloo.

Go us.

I'm not going there...yet. I got one more year of high school.

But how hard was it to get in? Like did you have unbelievably high marks?

Martin · **Posted:** Thu Jul 08, 2004 12:35 am

I had a 98 average...I didn't think I was going to get in, but then along comes the 16th of June and BAM they're like 'Hey, you're in!'

I'm only going for english though, I imagine that you'd need a better average for the other programs (like something in math or engineering)

Genesis · **Posted:** Thu Jul 08, 2004 12:54 am

98 average...pretty impressive. Claping

Did you take any math or science courses? (Like Physcis, Chem, Algebra, Calculus)

'Cuz uh...I can't see myself getting an average any higher than 98 with those classes. And I would like to go for engineering, maybe computer science.

(Oh, and by the way, anyone know of the best computer science programs? At Universities in Ontario? Other than Waterloo.)

I'm going to the University of Waterloo in the fall as well. I'll be taking Honours Computational Mathematics, Regular.

As for marks, I had 97.5 in my best 6 4U/M credits. Those were all Math/Computer/Science courses.

Genesis : don't worry about it... Darkness is just being a jerk. he got low 80s I belive and is going for CS.

and I think I have to room with him for a while... *sigh* Rolling Eyes

Oh really? That's awesome. Haha, I didn't think you could get into Waterloo for CS with low 80's.
Well then getting in may not be a problem after all.

you would need an impressive AIF though, since its right at/(maybe a bit below) cutoff mark Confused

I know Darkness has gotten quite a bit of additional points for attending Massey since its a prefered school.

im going there Laughing

Genesis · **Posted:** Thu Jul 08, 2004 1:45 pm

Oh, lol, no I have an average in the low 90's, hopefully better next year. So I'm thinking that gives me somewhat of a chance.

Haha, ya, my school is very far from a preferred school. They want to get rid of computer science next year...that's not lookin' too good for me.

Any program? or only computer/math related ones?
