Hey, I’m just an average (relatively) guy who is trying to get into Waterloo CS and wanted to hear ur thoughts on my ECs. I cleared the minimum competitive avg of 97 for my second midterms, but I’m not some genius from china who got 100% on every contest from Waterloo, so idk if my ECs are good.

Here is a list:

  1. A published AI Agent program.

  2. Organised a hackathon for my school that aimed to solve a school specific issue.

  3. Some volunteering stuff (nothing crazy, just like 60 hrs total)

  4. Distinction on CSMC, abysmal score on CCC, and average or slightly above avg for Euclid (q5 and 6 were insane this year)

  5. Student Council, led an event as a member.

  6. Little computer vision software (not published)

  7. Python Bootcamp

  8. Summer coop as an IT assistant at my school board.

  9. Some SHSM stuff (mini projects, event participation)

I know that without building a non profit that gathers $1000000 on its first year or doing research at UofT you basically have 3% to get in. Just trying to see if these will give me a decent AIF score.
