On my application awards section, I just noticed I put academic even though the award type should be non-academic. These awards are all math contests. Should I email admission office about my mistake or is it not a big deal?

Is is possible to override PMATH 347 without MATH 235? I'm planning to take MATH 235 with PMATH 347 next term.

Hello!

I am a grade 12 student and I recently got accepted into the SciBus program at Waterloo! I was wondering if I could get any insight into the program, particularly the biotechnology specialization? I am especially interested in the program for the co-op aspect since building connections is vital nowadays.

Please inform me on anything I should know before I make my decision! Thanks!!

If so, is there a higher probability of admission to CS non coop?

Me and my friend are planning to visit tomorrow, so I was just wondering, are campus buildings generally open on Saturday?

Ok excitement over, I’m a US Highschool student but Canadian citizen and I’m considering going here for political science. This is the best school I’ve gotten into so far so I wanted to ask, how good is this school to Canadians 😭

Also … are there gay people I want gay friends PLEASE THAT’S ALL I ASK FOR. I hate this place I live in

I'll be changing my third choice from math to the one with the highest acceptance rate.

Will they let you switch your sequence or can I just take courses in that term but not change my sequence?

Im looking at US med schools and they require at least 1 years worth (2 terms) of general biology with labs. I know that BIOL 130 and 130L is the first intro biology, but is there a second course to it with lab that counts?

As the title suggests I’m failing in my PD course. I honestly don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I can’t allocate a lot of time into PD to begin with because I’m taking 5 other classes, still I do enough to get by. However my average right now is about 50. Any suggestions or advices?

Hey everyone,

I just received an offer for the MMath CS (Thesis) program at Waterloo. I'm an international student, and my main goal after graduation is to join Big Tech. I don't plan on doing a PhD, at least not for a few years after my master’s.

Right now, my background is mostly research-heavy, with just two SWE internships at small startups. I also have some solid personal projects, but not much direct industry experience.

I’d really appreciate insights from anyone who has gone through a similar path or has knowledge about these questions:

1. Since I don’t have much industry experience, will it be difficult to land a job as an MMath CS grad?
2. Is it possible to add a co-op option to the thesis track while keeping my funding?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Will I need to take Calculus 2 (or beyond) in the science and aviation program? That's all, just curious.

Coop money deadass doesnt feel real. I cant wait until I get my next paycheck and win it all back. By my 6th coop term i'll have paid my tuition 10 times.

okay? Thank you

How hard/comptetive is it to get a USRA? I’m in 2nd year and my average is currently 82, not sure if that’s a competitive enough average honestly

Every time the fire alarm goes off in my dorm it takes an hour+ to turn off, even if there is little to no smoke. Is there anyway to get it to shut up faster?

I’m graduating this June and having a plan to travel to my home country in May. I want to apply for PGWP before I leave which is before May 8, the official grades come out on May 20 and I know that I can order an eligible to graduate letter after my final grades shown on quest to make the timeline faster. But I noticed that an official transcript with “degree awarded” status is also required for PGWP which the status usually comes out when official grades and standings release. I’m just wondering if I order an eligible to graduate letter asap, does “degree awarded”show earlier than official releasing date on quest?

Just did the first Psych 207 quiz. Many questions were from the textbook but that was fine since its an online quiz. Can anyone tell me if the exam is just from course notes or was there questions from the text.

The air is EXTREMELY dry. I also get poor sleep often and get sick from eating food. It might be because my room is on the lowest floor right next to the road. Anyone else experiencing this and have any ideas to cope?

Edit: This is after already running a humidifier 24/7 with the bathroom fan off. Heating is also on relatively low.

Hey all, I'm trying to renew my contract with WCRI for another year, and I've noticed there's about a week gap between the end of my original contract and start of the new one. Does anyone know why they include this interim period? I understand I won't have to move out but it's a little concerning that they hypothetically legally could kick me out during that period.

Doable? In a regular course load, I average high 80s to low 90s

Hi! I'm looking for information about the master's in quant finance, for anyone who is enrolled or completed the program.

I was accepted into the program but there is not enough information from past alumni on what this degree gave them. Many of their alum go to big 5 canadian banks but I'm more interested in wall street.

My alternative right now is to go to a smaller university part-time where my employer will pay for my degree and I can continue earning a full time salary as a software developer. I already have an undergrad in math and relevant investment banking experience and I'm really just looking to learn stats & finance on a more intuitive and deeper level rather than going somewhere for the degree and institution name and landing a job just because I went to Waterloo.

Happy to get any input, thank you!! ♥

PS I didn't do undergrad at Waterloo and legit know nothing about what it is like to be a student here

Hi everyone, I am currently looking for for off campus housing for the fall. I'm looking for a 2 bedroom place and society caught my eye. Price isn't too bad and they have really nice amenities. If anyone can give advice on society it would be greatly appreciated and if not society what's the best off campus place to live.

I was going to comment on the other post about this but I figured it’s important enough for a separate post.

sometimes, the green light comes on for 2 cars (1 in both directions, a few seconds apart) and not just 1.

just because 1 car has passed, doesn’t mean it’s safe to walk across. literally just wait for the walk signal to actually turn on. the 10 seconds you save is not worth it
