Hey Sammy, this is your hand picked fellow using AI (which you said they don't) to make a slop post to aid him in finding housing in SF this summer (can't be that hard). Furthermore, he got called out in his comments but rather than taking the criticism, he stood on his post with A very condescending message if you ask any normal person
Dear all waterloo engineering admits.
101% average.
3.6 million volunteer hours.
Internship at Apple and Amazon at the same time.
PhD from MIT, Harvard, and Oxford.
Rejected.
After pouring my soul into the four Nobel Prizes I received in my time at high school, (that’s a lie I won my Physics Prize when I was four), I was rejected.
Waterloo students:
Enjoy your spoonfed co-op.
Enjoy your goose-infested campus.
But just know that, in the meantime, I will be working 400 hours per day at Hogwarts. I will outwork each and every one of you. I will secure co-ops at all the companies you dreamed of through pure blood, sweat, and tears.
When job interviews roll around in 5 years, I’ll be ready.
See you at the interviews.
I thought these guys couldn’t get anymore insufferable. Turns out they are genuinely just assholes
My argument is that there is nothing better that you can study in university for UNDERGRAD than Waterloo computer science with Laurier business double degree for balancing safety with Max career earnings I know that people think cs is cooked bur having a double degree makes you safer ss you can pivot while manintaing the high salaries of finance ans cs
The only real two competitors are nursing and Eng both of which have bad salaries and are undervalued bur are safe
Science trades also hwve bad salaries
Any thoughts?
I’m currently trying to choose between Waterloo Management Engineering and McMaster Engineering 1 (Open/General). I’m having a really hard time deciding because they offer two completely different paths, and the current job market/tech landscape is making me overthink everything.
I’d love to get some insight from current students or recent grads on a few specific things:
For anyone in either program, do you regret your choice? If you had to pick again right now given how crazy the tech/job market is, what would you do?
Thanks in advance!
these ‘ideas’ for the libraries are horrendous. why can’t we just fund the literal programs we have instead. at the bare minimum… get a student to draw this at least.
Sorry I didn’t realize this could be architecture software
Kinda sick of my high school friends. I need to be around nicer people. Cant handle toxic ppl, or people who are not inclusive. Need the more the merrier types. Hoping i find my ppl at UW this September.
Hey linkedin warriors! I saw this polarity guy post about being homeless or something (idk ai slop) and it looks like he's getting paid a ton of money. I can prompt gemini and be mildly offensive too. How do I sign up????? Thanks
bruh these things used to be enough for me to save the rest for dinner and now they’re barely bigger than my hand… I’ve noticed they were slowly limiting the size of the burritos but today I got one for the first time in a while and I was shocked… still the same price tho
Hey, any (preferably online) courses i can take in fall that guarantee 90+? I already took clas 104 btw
Hi, I just committed to CS at uw and I was wondering what I should do during the summer of gr.12 to prepare for first year? I know getting co-ops is tough, but I alr tried to prep a bit by doing the Nokia future tech program in gr.11 and connecting with my shopify dev degree interviewers and hiring managers during the interview process. I don’t really know what else to do besides work on building some projects and a personal portfolio though (good projects recs would be appreciated!)! Also I was wondering what skills I should learn or like any classes I should read up on before I get there. I think lots of hwk is done in C, so I’ll try to learn that over the summer and brush up on JavaScript. ANY advice is appreciated!!
THANKS GUYS, hopefully I won’t be unemployed ❤️🩹
Hi, I am planning to take those courses for Fall 26 as honours math
Math 237
Math 235
Stat 230
Cs 136
One elective
Is this doable considering I had mid 70 as Cav, or should I push one of MATH 237/235 to 2B. How is the workload for two courses compared to first year
i want to do better in my math classes and i want to try to find a better system of taking notes, studying and consolidating my knowledge. i have been flirting with the idea of trying out obsidian as a personal knowledge base.
for me i take handwritten notes during classes and/or take pictures and then write down the content in them while adding my intuitions in the margins. i have tried rewriting notes on my ipad but i feel like with every pass of the information it would be less overwhelming if i could create a summary of my course content somewhere easily edittable and centralized like obsidian.
what do you guys think about this topic?
Probably a long shot, but one of my pins fell off my backpack today. Wanted to post in case it was found somewhere on campus.
This pin looks like this, but without the text "Parc national/National Park." The art below the text is exactly the same.
I was in M3 all day until ~4:45pm. Afterwards, I took the 19 from the bus station to Hazel/Uni, then walked to Uni/King to take the 7 to Waterloo Public Square. I walked up Erb to the WMRC, then to Waterloo Park through the Barrel Yards.
I returned to campus on the ION from Laurier-Waterloo Park around 5:40, and walked to the rock garden near MC/QNC. I was there until ~6:30, and then walked to SJU and then Conrad Grebel/its parking lot. I hung around that area until 7pm.
I went back to M3 and then left campus for CLV around 7:30pm. I came back to campus at 8:30pm to go to PAC, and realized it was gone shortly after.
I don't think the pin was lost in M3. I'll check with GRT and Turnkey sometime this week, but please message me if you find the pin (preferably with a picture of it). It's not overly important/sentimental but I'm a bit bummed about it. Thanks in advance!
I’m going into 2A as an honours math student trying to major applied math with scientific computing and ML. I’ve planned on taking these courses:
- Math 237/235
- Stat 230
- CS 234
- 2 electives
Would it be okay to push one of 235/237 to 2B? Or would it be better to take 4 Math/CS courses with just one elective?
Also could anyone show me how my 2B should look when I end up taking those following courses?
So on the weekend, I took an alum and two UW students fishing. The plan was to go to timmins for walleye opener day, but a buddy texted me a pic of ice still on the lake. So we headed for Eastern Ontario near the Quebec border to spend the weekend fishing on the St. Lawrence river. Good fishing there.
Except, see pic, the boat died. On our first trip out we had to get towed back to the dock. Had it in to a mechanic a couple of times and no luck - no boat for the weekend.
So instead we went on a 'tour'. Basically just driving around checking stuff out. We ended up:
So no fish (I think this is the first time I've ever been skunked in almost 10 years), but still a break from school/work for a few days.
I've promised everyone that once the boat is fixed I'll take them on a day trip and actually get some fish.
Hi everyone, I’m an admitted incoming student with offers from both Waterloo MEng ECE Co-op and MDSAI Co-op, and I’m deciding between them before my deadline. I’d really appreciate any quick current-student perspective on either program.
I’m mainly curious about the co-op reality, things like the kinds of roles people are actually getting, whether the support feels decent, and whether students aiming for software / security / AI-adjacent roles are finding relevant placements.
Even brief comments would be really helpful. I’m also hoping to connect with current students from either program, so feel free to DM if you’re open to sharing more. Thanks!
Got into both mathematical finance and FARM. I don't really have a clear trajectory about what to do but I wanna go into finance quant or investment banking.Also if i accept the math, I could also choose acturial science. What is the best option thinking about AI and future. What's safe and what dangerous but successful. I know acturial science is diff. But I still really like that field l
