I'm pretty sure it's around May sometime, but I could be wrong. I applied Mechatronics, but I really wish Waterloo had the option to take a general first year. Applied:
Queen's Engineering - Accepted
Waterloo Mechatronics Engineering - Accepted
McMaster Engineering I - Rejected (lol?)

Got a conditional acceptance to Environmental Engineering. I gotta maintain 77% average... I dont think I can even drop that low now that most of my courses are finished... lol University of Waterloo - Environmental Engineering, Honours Co-operative Program 2016

Waterloo Engineering based on past history, usually gives acceptances (To their good programs i.e. systems/nano/mech/etc.) a little later like april,may etc.

Hey, I am not in grade 12 yet, but I was wondering a few things because my course selection is due in a couple of days. I plan on keeping my options open in grade twelve to see if I should go into the engineering field or the business field. First semester marks are 91 Functions U, 89 Chemistry U, 88 Accounting M, 84 Physics U. To keep my options open, I need to take summer school and private school courses. Would I not get accepted into programs if I take ENG4U in private school and Physics U in summer school? If I end up getting into a engineering program and decide I want to go into it, I'll probably take a physics prep course to get me updated on the Physics [since it was taken in summer school]? Which universities will not accept me, or will adjust my overall admissions average[if so, by how much?]? Accepted to:
University of Waterloo: AFM-PA Stream
University of Waterloo: Systems Design Engineering/Management/Electrical
Schulich School of Business: BBA - First Round
UTSC: Co-Op Management
Laurier: Double Degree- BBA + Financial Mathematics - February
McMaster University: Engineering - February (Co-Op)

I don't think any universities will automatically reject you for having taken courses in private/summer school. The policy varies by university, but generally they will take off 1-2% off your average. You can find their policy on their website, but generally as long as you're not borderline, you should get accepted regardless. Waterloo Mechanical Engineering '17

McGill :) :( :( :(
Western :)

Quote:If you have taken or are taking courses outside of regular day school and have applied to a program in the Faculty of Mathematics, in some cases your overall admission score will be adjusted.
Quote:Provided that the school or institution is accredited by the Ontario Ministry of Education, the University of Waterloo will accept grade 12 U and M courses regardless of how or where the course is taken. http://findoutmore.uwaterloo.ca/admissions/repeated.phpI wouldn't worry about it too much. On the Waterloo AIF you're given space to explain why you have taken courses outside of day school. **Shields**

University of Waterloo - Environmental Engineering, Honours Co-operative Program 2016 Hey I checked on quest today and it showed that I have received a conditional acceptance to Waterloo Mechatronics engineering. So how long does it take for the conditions to arrive in the mail? And did you get an email with the conditional acceptance? (Because i didnt get an email which is kinda odd)

^ Depends on where you live. You should get a hard copy stating all the conditions and residence info if applicable within like.. 2 weeks. I got accepted last week but I haven't gotten anything yet, but I am from BC, so maybe that makes a difference. You should also get an e-mail stating the acceptance. That's how I knew to check my Quest account. Look in your junk mail folder. But as long as it shows up on Quest as being accepted, I don't think it's really all that important if you didn't get an e-mail. University of British Columbia '15

I too was accepted to engineering at waterloo yesterday (software engineering) but haven't received an email or an update on OUAC. Only on Quest it showed a "conditional admit." Guess it takes them a few days to update.

Nope, not updated on ouac, and no email.
Don't worry though, some of my friends went through this last year and it was updated on quest first. The rest follows later =D
So congrats! Is engineering at waterloo your first choice?

So congrats! Is engineering at waterloo your first choice? Thanks. Congrats to you too  I'm still having a hard time believing that they already accepted me, which explains why I'm worrying that it may not be official until I see it on OUAC... lol. @Haru, my average from the 3 grade 12 courses already done is in the low 90s, but I think it's because of my AIF that really helped me get my acceptance this early.

Please confirm?????? According to AIF page: It is recommended that you complete your AIF within 3 weeks of receiving your acknowledgment email. March 4, 2011, is the final deadline for submission. Note: Final deadline has now been extended to March 18, 2011. I guess you could say it wasn't Feb 9th, but it was definitely recommended as it states "complete your AIF witin 3 weeks of receiving your acknowledgment email". I think most ppl submitted by that deadline. YOu should submit...like ASAP Mathematics/Chartered Accountancy
