HAHAH with those marks u can get into anything in CANADA
 
i hope so. do you reside in Canada? because an 80 in Canada is a total different story then other countires. from what i seen, some people have not rejected or accepted with conditions with grades similar to mine.
 
I go to U of T. You'll be fine.
 
For which program? sci or eng? or both?
 
Math specialist.

what type of program is that under? coulnt find it on einfo
 
It should be under Physical and Mathematical sciences. It's in the Faculty of Arts and Science.

I think you are worrying too much. If you get the grade 12 marks you are hoping for (which I'm sure you will - you have a good track record) then you should get into U of T and Waterloo. If you really want to make sure, try getting a couple letters of recommendation from a science or math teacher. That's what I did and I'm sure it helped somewhat.
 
alright thanks for the replies, imma try to stop stressing too much about it
