I don't think I'll apply to places in the States, too expensive for a resident of Canada like me (moved when I was ~18 months). I'm thinking of applying to some of the more local places: Waterloo, U of T, Ryerson. I just hope I can get my OAC English mark high enough. My other courses will be easy. (I can't wait for second semester... computer tech (OAC is when we get to input opcodes into a 68000 (I think)), computer problem solving (I've heard that it is mostly building a website... I wonder how much it will throw a wrench into the works when I insist upon coding my own HTML instead of using M$ FrontPage (the entire school board uses M$)), and physics). It is rather unfortunate that I have completed my school's highest level CS course (grade 12), as having one this time round would really make my marks fly. -- Seneca seneca-cunningham@rogers.com
