I haven't got accepted either, though my programs are completely different from yours. The second round of acceptances go out starting the first week of May. I'm sure you'll be fine, we're all waiting, just be patient. No need to worry! :)

I agree with jelly. With an 85.5% average, you should get into Mac Engineering (I don't know anything about Waterloo), but for Mac Life Sci you need an 89%. :(

Maybe they had more pre-requisites completed at that point? For Waterloo, it could also have been a strong AIF.

Its hard to say. Might be because of the number of pre-requisites completed, grade 11 marks, etc. I only had one pre-requisite completed when I was accepted to McMaster Engineering, but I had fairly strong grade 11 marks as well. Just wait though, I'm sure you'll be accepted to those two programs. A lot of people with high-80 averages were accepted to Waterloo Life Science in like December, with a mid-80 average you have nothing to worry about.

I think you have a good chance at Waterloo life sci and Mac engineering.

For Waterloo life sci the admission range is low 80s, same with Mac engineering.

I think Mac life sci is out because of your English and bio marks, sorry :/

There was a round of admissions (probably their last) today for McMaster Life Science. IF you didnt get in, Im sorry. I think you have a good chance at Waterloo though.

Quit worrying ....I know people with 78 and 79 that have got in. I go to non semestered school too and even though our 2nd term was done like 3 months ago , it wasn't updated on OUAC till like a week ago. I got in with my 1st term mark and the 2nd round of offer does not go out till like anytime now.

If you haven't heard from there within the next 2 weeks then you should call the admission office just to makes sure there were no mistakes in your marks. If you don't want to wait, just pick up the phone and call them !!

Good Luck!
