I'm assuming that your adv functions mark will end up being weighed into the average for all those programs so that puts your avg at ~82-83%, which unfortunately may not cut it for mac engineering considering the dramatic increase in applicants, so you should really work on getting those marks up. This may have been enough in previous years but it MAY not be enough now...

Waterloo is EXTREMELY competitive, so again if you want to go there you would have to work really hard...don't they have a supplementary application as well? You should work hard on that to increase your chances.

I know nothing about UofT.

Your marks should be fine for Ryerson.

Honestly, no one here can tell you anything its all just speculation. Your time is better spent raising your marks.

Good luck!

Wasn't there a thread just like this? Did you create another thread??? Duddee wtf stop cramming the front page with your shit. Instead of creating repetitive threads, GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK and YOULL GET IN. It shouldn't matter what we say, we don't know anything more than google can tell you. You think we walked into our programs and they said "Okay..THESE are the EXACT admission averages. The amount of time you've spent on this site and presumably some other related sites could have been better spent editing an essay or something and getting that english mark up or doing some math to get functions > 74.

tl;dr: Try your hardest and you'll get into Mac and be able to create more useless threads next year!

In this case, the poster seems to be asking for it.

His original thread actually resulted in very honest and helpful suggestions.

http://www.macinsiders.com/showthrea...0.html?t=39330

One of the main reason was his direct and clear statement of the help he needs.

The 2nd attempt, which is this thread, got a lot ??? from people because... Well you can see from the thread.

I wonder if its just a regular MI who just created a new account to troll us.

Go to the studentawards.com forums. They have people from more universities there, so you don't have Mac bias. You've already asked once here, and got feedback on Mac's side. Now, get them from other university students. Better yet, ask the university admins for help.

And to OP, and everyone else, if it's not hurtin' it's not trollin'.
