My top 6 average is 87.2 and I am still waiting on Waterloo Computer Science. If you got in or are still waiting, state your average below. This way we can get an idea of the situation.

Oh man, I'm getting scared now. Could you be a bit more specific on your average: 87 point what?

Sucks :l

Can you still get computer science if you were referred to geomatics?

What were your marks like / AIF, if you don't mind me asking? I applied with 86ish +- % (Going to go calculate now)... and I was just flat out refused.

When did you find out that you were flat out denied?

I had a top six average of about 92.7%, with an:
-87 in calculus
-93 in english
-96 in data management
-94 in communications technology
-93 in computer science
-93 in technological design

My extra curriculars were a bit lacking, I took band in grade 9, I've taken piano for about 10 years now, and I've been volunteering with a group that helps the community for about 5 years. I've also had one job for 3 years now, and two jobs for the past year.

I also just received an alternate offer for Geomatics.

EDIT: I've also been doing peer tutoring for about 3 years, and I've taken the math contests each year (and won the Cayley in Grade 10)
