& using chemistry, calculus, math and english is 90.25%
Anyways, do you think I can still get in engineering with 87.5% or should I play it safe with computing science? (calculus can be used for computing)
Engineering really does sound hard by the way you describe it..like I said I'll probably use computing or engineering as a starting point, but will definitely try and get myself out if I don't like it.
I really appreciate the advice guys...super stressed about what to apply for (and if I'll get in).

U can definately get in with 87.5. Engineering take in a lot of people every year because every year they kick a lot of people out from first and second years. With that said, it is definately possible to get 80+ average in even engineering physics (the hardest specizliation). So you should still continue to maintain your 80+ average after you get in, and don't let the hard materials excuse you from that. Not sure what you mean about CompSci but it is all programing codes in there.
First year is definately no problem because 1) lots of dumbasses scale the curve for you, and 2) lots of online materials can help you self-study (cheat sheets, possible exam questions, notes, etc.)
Second year is still ok, and the materials are still pretty basic because its your 'first' year in your specilization, so 1) and 2) from above still applies. But this year is where they introduce all the new concepts, so its usually the year with the lowest grades.
Third year gets easier because u get used to it, even when the materials get much harder.
Fourth year was a joke for me. All I did was club or house party every weekend because profs are really chill and I already sent my transcripts to grad schools. The classes are really small as well, fav year for me.
Don't get stressed because the only degrees worth getting a bachelor for is Commerce or Engineering. Second is Science (for doctor also) and third is Arts (but only if go grad schools like law)
