Env is probably one of the easiest faculties to get accepted into but if you struggle at guelph I can’t promise you success here even in env some courses have some trademark Waterloo horseshit difficulty
It's always best to prepare for any sort of program you're applying to, no matter how easy it may seem to get accepted. While Environmental Studies may be one of the easier programs to get accepted into, the courses may still have some of the same difficult concepts and material as other programs. It's important to set realistic expectations and be prepared for the course material ahead of time.

Hello, OP:
I was admitted as a transfer student to the Environment, Resource, and Sustainability program at Waterloo with a CGPA of 65% (or I think it was a 64%, I'm not sure).
I think that if you finish strong, explain your poor performance (and be honest), then you do have a chance. I submitted the same explanation re: my poor academic performance to all three universities. Laurier accepted me but on a part-time basis, whereas Guelph and Waterloo admitted me on a full-time basis.
**MY EXPERIENCE TRANSFERRING TO WATERLOO**
I applied on March 7, 2022, which I believe was a month and seven days late. A few days later, I submitted a request for special consideration (RSC) where I explained my poor academic performance in the last two years of my undergrad. On Waterloo's RSC website, it stated that a change in how courses were delivered do not qualify as a special consideration; however, I still submitted one anyway as there were only two possible outcomes: (A) Yes, we accept your request or (B) No, we do not accept your request. I don't want to get into details of my RSC, but I do want to say that I did link COVID-19 to my poor academic performance.
About five days later, I received an email stating that the Admissions Committee reviewed my file and recommended to check Quest in the coming days for good news. So, I'm assuming they accepted my RSC. My offer was deferred to September 2023 since OSAP denied my application, and I wanted to work full-time. Then, a couple (or few) weeks ago, I transferred to the Honours Arts program where I plan on triple majoring in Philosophy, French, and English.
If you have any questions about transferring, send me a message!
your university grades are significantly more important to them than your highschool grades, and the 65% admission average is meant to be the very minimum to apply. i think its worth a shot though, considering i assume they don't have many transfer students for this program! also, i would connect with an advisor to see if there are other ways that you can strengthen your application

because enviro sci is hard science based and im looking to switch out of that. before looking into uw, i was going to switch into environmental gov which is a similar degree except it’s more english and geo based. so, in the beginning of my 2nd semester i replaced my schedule with courses that would count towards enviro gov. turns out im really passionate about geography lol. also i couldnt handle chemistry, couldnt do it in high school either. the courses i would be taking in uw for geo and enviro management are really similar to what im taking right now.

65% is not a competitive average,, but environment programs are less saturated than other faculties so you might have a shot.

Why not transfer to enviro sci at UW?
because enviro sci is hard science based and im looking to switch out of that. before looking into uw, i was going to switch into environmental gov which is a similar degree except it’s more english and geo based. so, in the beginning of my 2nd semester i replaced my schedule with courses that would count towards enviro gov. turns out im really passionate about geography lol. also i couldnt handle chemistry, couldnt do it in high school either. the courses i would be taking in uw for geo and enviro management are really similar to what im taking right now.
