<p>My D was accepted at UWaterloo. We loved it after visiting. She even got a merit scholarship ($2000 Cnd if I remember correctly). It was probably 2nd or 3rd on her list when she applied. However, the acceptance and offer from Waterloo came in early June when she’d already been accepted at choice 1 in the US and sent her deposit (and with need-based aid it was much cheaper for us). I don’t know if it is normal for Waterloo to let you know that late or not, but it’s something you might want to check if you are applying.</p>
