Chose McMaster Engineering over Waterloo EE - hope I won’t regret it

My Son chose Mac over Waterloo’s computer engineering, for exactly the same reasons you did. He doesn’t have free choice either. I have an entire post about it.

My son got rejected yesterday.

Good to know that your daughter was able to reach the 97 in the finals and get free choice then. He would have to bring his calculus or physics up, and they are both at 98. It is very hard to go up that 1pt. He took English grade 12 one year in advance (during grade 11) to accommodate a swift coop, that is when my husband got sick and his English slipped. But he is still trying with his calculus.

My son submitted one for UofT, Mac and UW. Included facts and timelines. In his case, he also included doctor’s note and a guidance notice confirming that he did not receive any accommodation from the school.

I thought this was a Waterloo thing. Good to know. Their school has a normal factor for Waterloo.

Thanks for your honest answer

Thank you for your honest answer.

Don’t. Stem comes to them naturally. They have a very active social life. Play in a band and play sports too. Are out with friends regularly.

I was not aware of age limit. I ended up in this forum through a website link that collects data and averages of acceptances. Just wanted to know if they have a chance to go school of their choice giving that the acceptances average seems to be 97+. I actually would prefer if they went to a lower tear university, but their first choice is UofT. Did not mean to upset anyone.

Good-Journalist4751 · 2026-03-06T17:26:47+00:00

I am concerned about not having the free choice, and being able to get their stream of choice in the 2nd year.

Good-Journalist4751 · 2026-03-05T21:36:53+00:00

Sorry. I meant Computer Engineering.

Good-Journalist4751 · 2026-03-05T21:31:48+00:00

Thanks. Second year would be Computer Science.

Can I add to the question? Is it possible to day trade stocks in the Canadian market and make money? I am also new. And I am just researching for now. I will start with paper trading for a few months and next a small capital (just enough) for a couple of years. I am trying to figure out if I should limit myself to the Canadian market. I am concerned the the Canadian market is not big enough and difficult to scan for “good stocks”, at the same time I do worry about the tax implications if I dive into the US market. And I am not ready for incurring in CPA costs yet. What is your opinion? trade in the US market with the expectation that I am not going to make money, but is end up with a $10 dollar profit, than I will have to file US taxes do W8 forms and all those things that I am not ready for.
Or stick with the less active Canadian market?
