These numbers are built from 45 anonymous admission reports submitted by real applicants to Mathematics (Regular/Co-op) at University of Waterloo, filtered for duplicates and statistical outliers. They reflect reported top-6 averages, not official cutoffs — universities do not publish admission floors, and offers can depend on supplementary applications, course rigor, and applicant pool strength in a given year.
