[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours would have applied to Toronto. It has a really good CS program and has rolling admissions. Plus, tuition is in line with other out of state colleges[/quote]

Getting into CS at Toronto or Waterloo is a big challenge.[/quote]

Why I thought the Canadian colleges look at grade and test scores only and so admission is quite predictable [/quote]

At Toronto, they were selecting twice as many kids for CS for first year as could get into CS the second year  (aka making POSt). The grades required to make the POSt cut for second year rose so high that students were incredibly stressed, and there were some suicides, including a student who jumped off the CS building.  They changed it so now I believe that you needed to be accepted into CS from high school, but will still need very high grades.  This is for the St George campus. It is probably easier to get into the Missassauga and Scarborough campuses.

At Waterloo you have to apply to CS from high school. This covers grades, ECs etc and they strongly encourage applicants to enter their Euclid math competition. Admission is very competitive and many stellar students miss out.[/quote]
