I have good ECs, won 3 hackathons (as the only developer), started a software project and raised $20, 000 on Kickstarter. I love programming, but ComSci at school was very disengaging/ conflicted with my schedule. I took grade 11 programming in grade 10, and missed a lot of assignments as my project demanded a lot of time.

With these grade 11 marks, what are my chances of early acceptance @Waterloo?

Functions: 90%
Physics: 93%
American History: 98%
Biology: 90%
Grade 11 ComSci (took in grade 10): 55%
Coop at a Dev Bootcamp (programming school, I was awarded free tuition)

I’m taking grade 12 ComSci in grade 11, and I’m confident on scoring a 95%+. I’m very involved with the open source community, and have been programming for 3 years. It’s why I want to go to Waterloo, but that ComSci mark is daunting.
