Canadian University Acceptance Reactions! (UofT, UWaterloo, Laurier...

Here are my university decision reactions as a Canadian male student for 2021! I find these videos super entertaining and informative and given that the college decisions reactions trump Canadian university decision reactions, I thought I would help fix that. Plus, most are girls and I gotta represent for the boys. Enjoy :D
Here are the universities I applied to:
I. University of Waterloo
II. University of Toronto
III. Wilfred Laurier University
Here are the university programs I applied to (in OUAC order):
1. Computer Science & Business Administration at University of Waterloo & Wilfred Laurier University
2. Computer Science & Business Administration at Wilfred Laurier University & University of Waterloo
3. Computer Science & Business Administration at Wilfred Laurier University
4. Computer Science at University of Waterloo
5. Computer Science at University of Toronto
6. Business Management at University of Toronto

Not getting accepted with a mid 90s grade average is mind blowing... Back in the day when I went to school, if you have that, it's a for sure acceptance. It bloggles my mind how competitive it is now. My son is in grade 12 this year and I am so nervous and stressed out for him.

Where did h get accepted?

[@TheRiverNyle]

Hey man don’t sweat it. I applied to 6 schools and got rejected from 3 this year: Waterloo for Computer science and Comp Sci Business dual degree, UBC Sauder, and Queen’s Commerce, and got accepted by u of t (math and physical sciences - rejected from CS), western, and SFU. This year was harsh and based on pure luck as compared to when covid wasn’t around.

[@MattBison]

honestly i completely agree. we got it bad this year but in the end, everything should work out. best of luck to you and thanks for watching!

[@MattBison]

congrats on computer engineering at mcgill! i didn't apply but hear that they have a great program over there

[@logical6317]

One more thing I want to ask, Do you need to provide proof for your extracurriculars? And Should I do early admission or normal admission, does early admission hold more weight or help me to get a higher chance of acceptance? Thank you

[@MattBison]

you don't need proof, but you'll want legitimate sources so that you can write in detail on the supplementary applications. there is no difference between early or normal admission - just bragging rights lmao. i got accepted to wlu relatively late even though i had a high average, got scholarship etc etc. its just a numbers game. hope that helps and good luck!

[@logical6317]

@@MattBison oh okay, thank you so much for your explanation

[@abcd-hw8io]

Depending on the school. Some if you got accepted in early admission, they used grade 11 marks, and sometimes part of grade, and your grade 12 marks only have to be the acceptable. If you don’t get accepted in early admission, then your final average will need to be competitive. Some schools used grade 11 mark for early admission, while others use grade 11 marks and part of grade 12. So for example, if you got into early admission based on grade 11 mark of 95%, they will send you a conditional offer that your final grade 12 mark need to be 85% (some schools even let you in with minimum requirement for that degree that could be as low as 70%). While if you apply as regular admission, then your final grade 12 mark might need to be 90% to get accepted. Some schools let you apply for early admission, and if you were not accepted during early admission round, you would be considered for regular admission. If they do that, it is much more advisable to apply during early admission.

[@HS-lp3py]

wait did all the programs require supplementary applications and ecs? If not, which ones did?

[@MattBison]

yep they actually all required apps and ecs. it was kinda annoying but once you write one, you can duplicate

[@jyuna2939]

Around when did you get all the acceptance letter? I applied for architectural programs and I still didn’t get all the acceptence…do you think I failed to get in…😭

[@MattBison]

no you're probably fine - patience! laurier got back to me in early MAY with my acceptance so don't worry :)

[@haze13_]

uni acceptances our year were so messed up lmaooo we got unlucky with covid

[@MattBison]

yeah and i think a lot of people dont get that - every piece of our application process was messed. it sucks but watcha gonna do

[@abcd-hw8io]

For some people, covid situation was a life saving thing. They could have not gotten acceptance into uni without the covid situation.

[@lachika8005]

Did you accept lots of offer letters ? And then they accepted ?

[@logical6317]

I have a question, what do you mean by laurier side and waterloo side? and the third program that you applied for cs/bba but only at laurier, how is it different from the first program that you applied to (cs/bba at uw and wlu)? I'm grade 10 now and I want to know more about the system, but it seems to be very confusing to me.

[@MattBison]

i get that - i didnt start looking at this until end of grade 11 so youre already ahead. basically, Wilfrid Laurier University offers CS and BBA at their university. that means your a laurier student. but there is also a program offered by WLU and UW as a joint program. you do CS at UW and BBA at WLU. that said, historically UW is harder to get into than laurier

[@MattBison]

yeah man its tough lmfao. but im not too pressed - everything happens for a reason and there are so many more factors that go into admissions other than marks. but anyways, youre grades are definitely high enough and i think you have a great shot - just make sure those extracurriculars are in check. if you have ONLY high marks then youre going in with a disadvantage. my average (top 6) was a 93 if im not mistaken but im going to be making a stats ec type video soon since ive been getting this question a ton. thanks for watching the video and for your comment!

Hello, I would like to ask you if you have any tips and tricks for the Personal Profile part of my University of Toronto application. Is there any place I could find the questions asked there? What do I have to keep in mind during the Profile? How do I prepare for it? What questions did you get on your Personal Profile, both written and video-recorded? Any answer will be a great help. Thank you for your time.

[@MattBison]

Hey Asliraf, this seems like a really important topic especially considering that its uni application season. Perhaps I could make a video on this sharing my insights as someone that went through the process during COVID? Regardless, I don't have my questions saved (I'll try finding them) but if you do a quick google search, you can find some sample questions. But either way, the questions are personal so there is no real "preparation". Instead, be completely honestly and don't try to fake anything - be yourself. Try to pull from your own experiences and exaggerate them if you have to - whenever you're talking from experience, it is always easier to answer questions. That said, don't stress! At the end of the day, applications is just a numbers game so try your best and put the odds in your favour. My luck didn't pay off this application season for UofT, but I hope that yours will! I hope this helps and thanks for the insightful question :)

[@avinzhat7705]

Lmao no it’s not are u dumb. Firstly, uwaterloo has the best co-op program in North America and is ranked as one of the best cs programs as well, attracting a lot of CMO, IOI, and extremely talented and gifted students. This is reinforced by their top level results in contests like ICPC. The Waterloo application also heavily looks at your ec’s, something that u of t doesn’t ask for in the cs application. UW is much harder to get into; in fact, I think the average for the people who got rejected this year was a 97.5% ish. So yea buddy, get ur facts checked @TheKudz

@@thekudz9129 lmao I can clearly tell you that you go to u of t and got rejected from uwaterloo so it sucks to suck I guess. And by your comment, you are clearly an incompetent idiot who gets stuck in the fluff of world rankings which have minimal meaning. Did you know that u of t is a full fledge university and uwaterloo isn’t? Wow... that’s why they maybe are lower on the rankings. Why do you think uwaterloo hosts the CCC, the only competition to qualify for the IOI?? Cuz they attract the best talent and are regarded as the best cs and math school in Canada, heck even in North America (one of). Those rankings mean shit lmao. Every UW cs student ends up working in Silicon Valley....... I wonder why???? Can you explain that to me. Uw students have a much higher employability rate than u of t students in cs cuz of the co op program. And btw, 5 of my friends who got into u of t cs got rejected from uwaterloo cs. Uwaterloo cs is much harder to get into and no one except an idiot like you would disagree with this fact. U need excellent math contest scores, a 97+ average, exceptional ec’s and really good essays to get in. I wonder why.... u of t cs is much easier to get into and ur just mad cuz u didn’t get into Waterloo lmao. Stay red u loser.
