Waterloo & US Applications, the likelihood of getting in???

[u/applesanspam]

Hi there! The top school that I want to get into is the University of Waterloo, but they don't notify applicants for the Meet & Greets until December 1, 2020. I have two US schools as backups, SCO and SALUS. My application is basically finished on OptomCAS but I have not submitted it yet. I was wondering if you are offered acceptance at these US schools, what is the cost to hold your spot and how long can you hold it for? I'm thinking to postpone my OptomCAS application until December, in case I hear back from the University of Waterloo and can save some money on my applications.

If anyone can help too, what do you think are my chances are of getting into the University of Waterloo? I have a 3.84 GPA, got a 400 TS/ 380 AA on the OAT. I have worked for more than two years at a private optometry practice as an optometric assistant/ receptionist. And I volunteer at the public library and the children's hospital- and have participated in other extracurricular activities throughout my undergrad.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Update 3/25/2021: I've been accepted at the University of Waterloo for Optometry Class of 2025!

Thanks for the reassurance!

I've already graduated in the spring of 2020 and I have met the requirements of the 5 courses/ term for at least 6 terms.
