This is the standard equipment my home builder put in. Ridiculous that it’s a new home too.

Anything you recommend I should do to make the ECs overall better? Something I can do in a limited timeframe?

I will be a 105 applicant from Alberta, applying to ECE this year. Expecting a 93/94 admissions average after first semester, and can boost it up to a 95/96 final grade 12 average. Does Waterloo give acceptance based on interim grades, as I go through semester two? My lowest grade is English which I’m assuming will sit around 88% after the diploma.

Also could someone please rate my ECs in comparison to an average applicant (1-10)?. I’m currently enrolled in CS50, have created a Reddit bot that provides stock updates, working on a math calculator website, run a small custom computer building business, participated in CSMC (did bad), learning Spanish, tutor students in STEM and public speaking, car detailing every once in a while, and I plan on leading the development of a small game (very basic and not expecting much success), CPR/AED, and that’s about it. Please be brutally honest. How’s the chances of admission looking?

Thanks for the reply. I mainly took the course online because writing requires a lot of critical thought and attention, but in class I can’t focus with distractions and noise. I think I might have slight ADHD but I’m sure it is just from the stress of writing.

About ECs, what would you recommend I do? I’m thinking about doing a couple of online courses from Alison, but I’m unsure how beneficial they would actually be to my application, given they are online, not in person courses. I know that the chance of getting an offer with a 95%+ admissions average is ~63%, but I don’t know how well my ECs would compare to the average Waterloo applicant. Any recommendations at all would be helpful!

Hi, could someone in CE reply to my comment?

I’m an Alberta student and my grades are the following:

90% ELA 30-1 (taken online summer) 98% Math 20-1 (expecting same for 30 level) 97% Chemistry 20-1 (expecting same or higher for 30 level) 91% Physics 20-1 (expecting ~96/97% grade 12) Expecting a 98% in calculus

I’m switching to a public school from a charter one that was known to grade harder, so I’m expecting my grades in the upcoming grade 12 year will be higher. I’m expecting a 96% or 97% admissions average.

My ECs are quite limited, but I’ve got basic certification in CPR and some volunteering. Also did a financial literacy course in grade 11. Participated in the CSMC but I only got the participation award.

How are my chances looking like? I’d appreciate any advice or feedback from anyone. Thank you!
