Congratulations!

I got accepted at both schools (math / computer science) and, upon doing a lot of research, ended up picking Waterloo.

From what I gathered, Waterloo is unparalleled in all things math and computer/software related.

Both U of T's Engineering Science program and University of Waterloo's Software Engineering program are highly reputable and well-respected in the field. It's important to consider your interests and career goals when making this decision. Engineering Science at U of T has a strong focus on theoretical and practical aspects of engineering, while Waterloo's Software Engineering program has a more specific focus on software development.

It would be helpful to research the curriculum and course offerings of both programs to see which aligns more with your interests.
