  • Hi, I was accepted into the UofW but I haven't finished the AIF yet.

    Does this mean I still need to hand in my AIF? Is it mandatory?

  • @shrillionaire Hi! It is strongly recommended to still submit the AIF since some scholarships are awarded based on this information. Congratulations, and welcome to Waterloo!

  • Hey! Do the admission officers only look at the average of your top 6 or do they also consider you for individual marks in the prerequisites?

  • @ollieolivelau Hi! This depends on which program you've applied to. For instance, if there are required courses, some of them have a minimum grade. Which program have you applied to? Once this is established we can figure out the requirements. Cheers!

  • Hello,

    I am a high school and college graduate. I originally planned on just going to college and most of my grade 12 courses were applied. I have retaken the 4 mandatory courses (English, Advanced Functions, Calculus, and finishing up Physics). The problem is by the time i write my Physics exam, exam gets marked, my marks reach the school.. It will be very close to the March 7th deadline. Is it possible for me to hand my marks in person to reduce the time it takes for them to reach Waterloo?

  • @Xplozzion Hi! If you email Donna at donna.woolcott@uwaterloo.ca she can help. She's eager to help you out! Hope this helps!

  • Still waiting for my admission. The longest wait of my life so far. Every day seems like a year! Good luck to all! :)

  • what about foundation program how much score i need to apply?

  • I applied to the life science program. I know that the average acceptance grade is 85% for co-op and the prerequisites are chemistry, biology, adv. functions, calculus and English. Let's say I got around a 70% for chemistry but I still have an 85% average, would they still consider me?

  • @experiencewaterloo thank you very much :)
