hi guys! i got an offer for eng and the conditional is an ib score of 31. its lwk rlly low but i feel like i still might not reach it just cuz of a bad couple of exams. if i dont reach it will they look at my alberta high school grades instead? those r locked in to be like a 97 top 5 and a few like 80's that i have this semester cuz theyre option courses.

(i got sick around exam season but it was js a common cold that made it hard to concentrate but i have no proof of this except for like eyewitnesses (does that even count???????) if that makes it better)

i cant rlly lock in for exams cuz i have two left which i hope will push me over the limit but js lmk if they would look at my alberta grades over my ib ones. i dont wanna stress about this until i get results in july so wtvr info yall have would help

hi guys i got into both at uw and im considering which one to pick. i rlly wouldnt mind going into either but heres like why im torn:

- most people in ee go into software jobs anyway so cs would be better in that sense cuz id be learning it + less classes so i can grind projects

- cs coops are better (apparently)

- ee has better stability and offers a better range of jobs i can get with cs

- cs jobs have the opportunity to make a lot of money which i want

- cs is overall less course work which would probably increase quality of life

- cs would make it easier to take an exchange year

if yall could js let me know ur perspectives id appreciate it

hi

im entering ee this year but have literally zero experience with anything tech-y. none of my ec's were even tech related. idk if i wanna break into software or hardware or anything (potentially software cuz my fam may have some connections), but what are some things i can do over the summer to help me try and find a coop. im prolly not gonna get one first coop term so maybe just things to help me get on design teams or literally anything that looks professional kinda.

what type of passion projects would look good on applications?

also if i wanted to transfer to ce, would I also be able to switch streams.

ALSO is there any possibility of doing an exchange year (idc abt adding time to my degree tbf (for both exchange and switching to ce)) if that matters.
