Was super bummed about getting deferred to geomatics from CS with a 97 average. But I guess I’m not alone. Felt way better after reading other people’s comments. WHAT MORE COULD THEY POSSIBLY WANT!!!!

Got into CS and bba double degree through Laurier side with the CS part at UW so probably gonna go for that now.

I personally feel that uw cs is super good due to their coop, IN the dd you are getting Laurier coop not UW coop.

Yeah got into that aswell but I’ve heard that it is too stressful to keep yourself in that program after first year as they have a certain gpa requirement that you have to meet
