I have no interest in programming, but I'm assuming it may be much easier doing a transfer since engineering and computing is in the same faculty.

I have also considered commerce, but all the hype about needing super high averages, and a good supplemental scared me away. I do have around 180-200 hours of service hours, but they're pretty much useless crap that I can't expand on like helping my teachers clean their classroom or do filing in the school office. I was only involved in sports from grade eight to ten, so I don't have much to say in that area either.

Fuck, I have 6 days to make a decision before the self-reporting and broad-based application opens for SFU. Gotta think hard..
If you like commerce more over computer science/engineering then I suggest you to apply for it, or else you might regret it. My friends in sciences/arts are now trying to transfer into business. I was afraid of applying for business like you because of how everyone says how difficult it is to get in, etc, saying I don't have the marks/extracurricular activities. But I didn't listen to them and I got into SFU this year with a 81-82% or a 86-87% (because I don't know if they counted my on-line mark) with not much extracurricular activities. I had nothing to lose, because my second choice was arts, so I guess you're in a different position than me. (do you know if you can get into your second choice?) Good luck with applications!
