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..
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering share almost the same first + second year courses, so you can make the switch no problem. I am not too sure about the other engineering specilizations though.

For the Commerce supplemental document, I suggest you not to write it yourself, as in, don't write it without researching online materials on how to write a professional one. Hell you can probably pay around $100 to a good website and have it professionally done. I remember back then I spent more time researching on how to write my Law School personal statement than actually writing it (keywords they look for, samples, etc.). Some may call it not-legit, but thats how you get ahead in life, and I think its perfectly ok.
