It should be under Physical and Mathematical sciences. It's in the Faculty of Arts and Science.

I think you are worrying too much. If you get the grade 12 marks you are hoping for (which I'm sure you will - you have a good track record) then you should get into U of T and Waterloo. If you really want to make sure, try getting a couple letters of recommendation from a science or math teacher. That's what I did and I'm sure it helped somewhat.
