Hi everyone,

I’m a first-year Science student applying for specialization this year. My current CGPA is around 86.8, and I got A+ in both first-year CPSC courses.

I’m hoping to get into either CS or Combined Major in CS + Stats, but I’m not sure how competitive my average is this year. I was wondering if anyone has applied with a similar average before, or knows roughly how competitive these two programs are.

Also, if anyone is in CS or CS + Stats, I’d really appreciate hearing about the differences between the two. I’m especially curious about workload, course flexibility, co-op/job opportunities, and how stats-heavy CS + Stats feels compared to regular CS.

I enjoy CS more, but I’m also interested in stats/data science/math, so I’m trying to figure out which program would be a better fit.

Thanks in advance!
