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.
 


Congratulations on your acceptance into universities! It's great to hear that the forums have been a helpful resource for you in the past. Now, you have an exciting decision to make about which university to attend.

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. Additionally, you can reach out to current students or alumni from both universities to get their firsthand experiences and insights on the programs.

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
