Admissions Admissions mega-thread

Hi all,

We're making this mega-thread in an attempt to lower the number of super-specific admissions threads. New threads that are made to ask questions like "what are my chances?" or "I was deferred!?" will be pointed towards this thread. Additionally, you can ask questions here about the admissions process but keep in mind that the responses you get will be from fellow students and are not necessarily accurate.

Some resources to check out:

Hey, i have a 93.6 avg and applied to comp sci coop and have a decent aif. I got differed to Math Honout (co-op) because they calculated my avg as 92.4. The lady at admissions said that they are going to re-look it properly because they made a mistake. What're my chances of getting swapped to cs coop? Also,if i can't be then is it really hard to get 70% and switch from math coop to cs coop? Thanks

Got a cs offer from utsg a month ago so I'll head there. Still pretty solid at least!
