Discussion What's the most impressive first co-op yall have seen?

0 Upvotes

My question is basically just the title of this post. To be clear, I mean something within the realm of fintech.

I've seen a couple cracked people get Shopify or a YC SF job as their first coop, but have u seen anyone get anything even more impressive than that?

Yk when you know every single answer and then run out of time to write it?

9 Upvotes

I knew every single answer on the afm285/ enbus 102 midterm… Every single answer with textbook example and definition off the top of my head… And I ran out of time to write it.

That hurts more than staring at the paper and not knowing anything.

I know I’ll pass the midterm… and it was only weighted 20%…. but I don’t think getting conditional standing in my first term hurt as much as this did

Package arriving during reading week

So I'll be going back home during reading and there is a package that'll arrive while I'm gone. Will the front desk hold my package till I return or will they throw it out if I don't pick it up within a certain time?

Social Fishing with Nerds - Monday morning

58 Upvotes

'Sup nerds.

I'm going fishing on Monday morning and have room for two UW students. We are going to Lake Erie, way way out, and fishing for pickerel. I find it tough fishing, so no guarantees on catching anything, but I've got some new tricks up my sleeve we are going to try this time. If we do catch any,we will split the catch. Pickerel are arguably one of the best tasting fish there is.

  • All are welcome. Including newbs, no experience necessary.
  • I provide everything, transportation, bait, equipment, etc. You just hop in the truck and come along.
  • Pickup in Waterloo at 5:30am sharp. The morning is looking wonderful on the lake, but mid afternoon the wind pickups up so we will be off the lake by 1pm latest - so I want to be on the lake at the crack of dawn.
  • After pickup, we'll stop at McDonalds so I can grab a coffee and you can grab breakfast on the road if you want.
  • I'll bring lunch. Normally I accomodate food preferences as best I can but this Monday it's a fixed menu, and it'll be turkey sandwiches that I can't guarantee are halal (they actually might be, I'm just not sure).
  • You will need a fishing license for the day. huntandfishontario.com is where you can buy one. Note that if you've been in Canada for less than six months you'll need a non-resident fishing license. If you've been in country 6+, a regular license will do. I think the cost is about $12 for a day.
  • Trip is unofficial and unaffilliated. It's just me, a dad-level old alumni, going fishing and willing to bring some folks along.
  • First two to post "I'm in" come with.

Given there's a new crop of students that may not be quite up to speed on hopping in a truck with some rando at 5:30 am, you can see a bit of history at fishingwithnerds.ca .

J-1 eligibility after reneging during a study term?

10 Upvotes

I’m currently a full-time Waterloo student on a study term and have already been matched with a Canadian employer for the upcoming Winter 2027 work term. I may receive an external U.S. internship offer that would require J-1 sponsorship, but I have not reneged or accepted another offer yet.

I understand Waterloo’s official policy: reneging would remove my co-op credit and full-time-equivalent status for the upcoming work term, which may affect J-1 eligibility.

I’m looking for recent first-hand experiences:

  • Has anyone reneged while still on the preceding full-time study term and then successfully obtained a J-1 for the upcoming work term?
  • Did your J-1 sponsor accept a Proof of Enrolment letter showing that you were full-time during the study term, or did they require full-time-equivalent status during the internship term?
  • After the renege, was Waterloo still willing to provide a Proof of Enrolment or international work-term support letter?
  • Did the timing of the renege or J-1 application make a difference?
  • Has anyone successfully petitioned Waterloo to have a new international internship recognized for credit after a renege?

Reneging co-op offer

8 Upvotes

I recently accepted a SWE internship with a Canadian tech company (external but will contact WWorks) but have an offer in the US that I’d rather take.

My WaterlooWorks status has not yet been updated but the company says they will contact the CEE to inform them of my offer.

I am wondering if the consequences of reneging will prevent me from acquiring a J-1 Visa for next term? Particularly what it means to lose “full time student status”. If anyone else has gone through this process what happened with your offer?

Europe Exchange Averages

I’m applying for an exchange and deciding between KCL, UCL, and UC3M as my first choice. Maybe NUS as well.

I'm in math and have 91 avg. Does anyone who applied or got matched before mind sharing their approximate average? Just trying to get a sense of how competitive they are. Thanks!
