I just finished 2A CS double degree, starting coop in January. Because Stat231 and CO250 are requirements for my 3A (F16) Laurier courses and I only take 3 Waterloo courses in 2B (S16), the only CS course I have room for is 245. This means I won't take Cs241, my next programming course, until F16. Do you think I'll run into trouble with this?

Apply to CS/BBA double degree based at Laurier (exact same as Waterloo based, just with Laurier coop). Then drop the BBA part after 1A. Waterloo probably won't give you coop, but Laurier based DD is less competitive than regular CS or Waterloo based DD

I'm gonna apply as a transfer student from Ryerson Engineering. At UofT you basically need a B+ or something in those courses to get credits, so I can go right into second year, maybe having to take a course or two in the summer. Is it like that here? I vaguely remember hearing that if I get accepted here, I'd likely have to start over in 1A. I don't think grades are a concern as I have an A+ in all core classes and A in the other two. I'm in BME, first term is general, and second term is common among BME and ECE. I'm looking to transfer to BME, SYDE, or ECE.

Just need some clarification about this. So I paid for the parking permit for Student-Winter using their ePass system.

Hi everyone, I am currently applying for the University of Waterloo's Software Engineering program. I am wondering whether my responses should be written as if it were an essay (with a highly elegant writing style and a lot of fluff and buzz words) or if I should just get to the point, throw out all the elegance, and just be more descriptive. The limit is only 900 characters, which means that I pretty much have to sacrifice one option for the other. Which one of these would be more appealing to an admission's officer? Thanks!

Hi, I recently applied to the University of Waterloo for Computer Science. I am from the US. I was wondering, around when should I expect to hear back from the university?

I'm just hoping to hear back before May, because that's when I have to respond back to universities in the US whether I am attending them or not.

Now Ive searched through the past and seen some threads like this but they were kinda outdated and I wanted some fresh perspectives. Im wondering how practical taking 350,348, and 341 would be for a below average student. I understand some of you are very keen and hardworking and handle heavy work load but im not that. If the 3 together are too much to handle I much rather do 350, 348 and leave 341 later. Like im really not a great student by any means, I failed alot of courses during first year and im only floating around high 60- low 70 (in math/cs courses) with 3-4 courses a term. What would you suggest as the most logical course of action. Things to Note: Edward Chan is not teaching 348 this term Im a little bitch Thanks, seriously thank you!

Hey, Second-year here so I know about the popular course selection aids available online. Slightly different question I've never seen asked before: Is there a tool to search a course and have it return a list of courses to which the inputted course is a pre-requisite to? For example, searching CS 135 would show CS 136. I'm asking this cuz there are multiple "streams" of a course I can take. For instance, my major requires MATH 225 or 235. Is there an efficient way of making sure I'm not missing out on any future paths by taking 225 instead of 235? Thanks!

Hello, Need some help. The require major average for Geography and Environmental Management is 70%. My average is 69.44%, and I cant graduate unless it is a 70%. Has anyone else had a similar problem and been able to fix it. I know I will probably have to take extra class. But doing a whole term just to raise my average less than 1% seems unfair and a bit ridiculous. Please let me know if anyone has any information or comments. Cheers.

Just trying to figure this out. On the first-year promotions page, they state that 59.5 will be rounded to 60 via natural rounding. However on the upper years page, they only state 60.

Hi, I'm a first year 1A student in mathematical physics program. I did not get used to the life as a university student. As a result, I received shitty grades at the end of the term. The only courses I passed were Phys121(54%), Chem120(53%) and Phys131Lab(65%), and I failed both of the math courses(Math136 and Math137). I did not have an elective. My average grade was below 50%. If what I understood from the school website was correct, I will likely be required to withdraw and join the non-degree term which I already paid for. I'm afraid of what will happen to me after that. I clearly know how I got screwed up and I'm willing to give it another try. I'm thinking about transferring into regular physics co-op program but I'm not sure if there's a possibility I can do that with these grades. I will meet one of the advisors asap but could someone please give me some ideas of what's going to happen and what's the best thing I could do now? Thank you!

I'm going into my 1B term now. I did decent in my first term (83 average). Research is something I definitely want to experience because I want to know if grad school is something I want to do. I did worse than I expected in my MATH135 final and ended up with an 84. Should I still attempt to take MATH 146? (I'm not interested in taking advanced calculus) On one hand I really want to take it but I don't really feel ready for it, but on the other, if I dont take it this term, it might perhaps just be impossible for me to take it in 2A (because of the gap in my knowledge/experience with rigourous math).

With many more people with higher averages that are in the same position as me, there is no hope for me to transfer into CS coop or even math coop. Is it better to transfer to another faculty such as arts or science and get coop from there? Am I still able to get CS/software jobs like CS/math students could? I have a few side projects. I still want to take math/cs courses as electives if I end up transferring, could I do this? Would this be worth it in the end all just to get coops? Has anybody been in this situation before?

Hi, I realize that an academic advisor would be better suited to answer this question but UW is closed and I figured someone here maybe had a similar experience. So I managed to get below 50 on my communication course. I am a 1B CS student about to start its 2A semester. The UGrad calendar says that I must have >60% in a communication course prior to enrolling in 2A. I wonder if that means that I won't be able to take CS245 / CS246 / MATH239 next semester (Winter) or if I will just "technically" be a 1B student while taking those courses. I really hope it is the former and that I will be able to make progress on my degree, I am really motivated to do better next semester Let me know if you can help, thanks

Hi, I am a U.S. citizen who goes to the University of Waterloo and I just finished a 4 month internship in the U.S. (California). I was wondering if there are any other U.S. citizens who have done the same? Since I'm not technically a resident in the U.S., I am not sure which income tax return to file. I hope someone who is familiar with this can help! Thanks.

Honest question. The "big 4" of tech provide awesome salaries and are usually in exciting locations. What's so great about the pig 4? From what I've seen, they don't seem to pay very well (for interns at least). Is it all about the prestige?

Hello, I'm looking to apply to engineering at UW. I've got an eyesight problem. It includes nearsightedness, Color blindness, and some sensitivity to light. My eyes tire more quickly than other because of the strain I have to put on them. However, I'm used to using magnifying lenses and monocular to compensate for it. I really want to apply to an engineering program but I don't know which programs would make it hard for me to study and work. Could anyone please provide some advice? Thanks a lot

I am applying for full time bursary for fall and winter term. I am in engineering and my resources for the two terms amount to around $14000 while my expenses amount to around $33000. There is a section that asks "bursary amount requested". Does anyone know based on their own or someone they know's experience what an appropriate amount to ask for is? Obviously I want as much help as I could get, but to put anything even close to what the difference between expenses and resources is seems pretty absurd. Thanks.

So I'm currently in Grade 11 and taking physics, I'm barely passing. I want to go into software programming, for all my tech courses my marks are 95%+ but it's the opposite for my sciences. Do I really need sciences to go to university and will I ever need it at a workplace related to the degree? Any suggestions on how to get better at physics and Sciences in general? (Tried khan Academy and others)
