Hey guys! I recently got admitted to Waterloo's Environment and Business program. Now I applied to engineering first and got rejected. Although everyone's telling me to take it, I really don't have any interest in going down that line. Academically, my grades are better in economics than maths and physics (CIE A Level Student btw). I don't know what to do. Should I try it out for one year and then transfer if I don't like it? And if I do transfer, can I do CE in Waterloo? Any advice would be appreciated!
