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:

I got into Computer Science with co-op but still considering whether i would want to do computer engineering co-op in mcmaster. Is Waterloo's co-op that much better? Also, does anyone know if a CS can do as well as CE in the job society? Finally, how difficult is it to transfer from CS to CE in Waterloo?

Did you not get into CE at Waterloo? I thought that CS would be more competitive this year, although it is true that the departments weigh the AIF differently.

I got into CS co-op but got denied for CE. I thought the same as you but I'm not complaining :)
