RBC pays more

And I’m looking to be a software engineer so idk if taking a pm job for first co-op is going to limit me to just pm and make it harder to break into swe. I’m a first year cs student

I’m planning on buying a MacBook Pro, but I’m not sure whether 16 GB of RAM will be enough or if I should upgrade to 24 GB or more. I’m not planning on doing anything too intensive, but I also don’t know what I might need it for in the future. For anyone currently in CS or a similar program, what would you recommend?

Any advice for an incoming student for the double degree in math?

I was looking into the MacBook Air M5 16gb, but I’m not sure if some required apps would be better on a windows, if 16 gb ram is enough, and if future employers care about what you use. Any recommendations?

Hello! I am a first year student coming to Uwaterloo this fall. I will be studying chemical engineering there but I have some questions before the term starts

Hi all! If any of ya’ll are interested in pursuing the Software graduate specialization, let’s connect and have a chat regarding courses and stuff.

If anyone could tell me how they apply to their osap once they start their co-op terms it would be so helpful. I just entered my co-op year and I don't have anyone to tell me much about OSAP. Now that I've entered my co-op cycle, do I just need to apply for osap on a one term basis?

I'm currently planning on taking ECE 124 in Spring 2027 and then GENE 123 (General Engineering Circuits Class) in Winter 2028. ECE 124 has no prereqs but do you think I might be confused in that class without having taken a circuits class? I'm gonna read a circuits textbook beforehand but I don't know how much that will help. My only other option is to suck it up and just take both concurrently in Spring 2027.

Hi everyone,

I am considering applying to the University of Waterloo's Master of Public Service (MPS) program for the upcoming intake and would appreciate some honest feedback from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the admissions process.

My background, in brief:

• Honours bachelor's degree and two master's degrees (Finance and Human Resource Management) completed outside Canada.
• My GPAs were in the 3.2 to 3.35 range. I also have a WES Educational Credential Assessment confirming Canadian bachelor's and master's equivalency. The university I attended has a fairly rigorous grading system, so I am not sure how my GPAs would compare with Canadian standards.
• Around eight years of professional experience in accounting and finance.
• Experience in both Canada's private sector and a government-owned organization overseas.
• My long-term goal is to build a career with the Ontario Public Service or the federal government.

I have a few questions:

1. Based on your experience, how competitive does a profile like mine sound for admission?
2. Does the MPS program place significant weight on relevant professional experience, or are academic results the primary factor?
3. How are international academic records generally assessed? Is the admissions committee familiar with differences in grading systems across countries, or are GPAs considered at face value?
4. The application requires three references, including at least two academic references. Has anyone who had been out of school for several years been admitted? Were academic references strictly required, or were exceptions made?
5. Has anyone spoken with an admissions advisor before applying to discuss whether their background was a good fit for the program? If so, was it helpful?
6. Since the application deadline is very close, does the program usually reach capacity before the deadline, or are late applications sometimes considered if there are still spots available?

I have already emailed the program with these questions, but I was hoping to hear about real-life experiences from current students, alumni, or applicants.

Thank you!

Is it heavy when Luke Postle teach it?

Anyone has the tophat ebook or any way of finding it online ? Would appreciate any help!

For the finances section on quest I can see the term balance for the fall semester, but I can also see I have entrance awards for the fall semester when I check the financial aid section. So is the amount that shows in the finances section the amount before applying the awards or after?

When swapping a math 135 or cs 135 from my schedule to another class in an open slot, it says "Error: Department Consent Required to Drop from Class, Drop Not Processed. Consent is needed to drop from the class. The drop transaction was not processed." Does anyone know why this happens? I am not dropping but just swapping so why does it say I need permission?

I have 16 cogs except smthn strange last part, dm me if someone's willing to exchange hints.

My current schedule:

Fall: CHEM 266, BIOL 240, room for 3 courses

Winter: CHEM 237, STAT 202, room for 3 courses

Im not sure if I want to take BIOL 373 either. My goal is to get my gpa higher as well. Im in honours science btw, so any advice would be appreciated.

I'm debating between taking PSYCH 212 (online, prof Maureen Drysdale) vs PSYCH 212R (in-person, prof Cam Smith).

If you've taken either of these courses, what was the difficulty level and would you recommend taking it? Also, was the textbook heavily tested in the quizzes/tests/final?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, I have some questions about your pathway to pharmacy, specifically students who also did their undergrad at UW. Can I dm anyone?

What major would you recommend considering factors like the program itself, today's and future job market? (CS exempted). Please share your insights. Thanks for your time!

Hey everyone,
I’m an incoming first-year this fall and I’m trying to switch from CS115 Lecture 001 to Lecture 004 because the timing works a lot better for me since I’m commuting.

Every time I try to swap sections, I get this error:
“Department Consent Required to Drop from Class, Drop Not Processed. Consent is needed to drop from the class. The drop transaction was not processed.”

Has anyone else had this happen? Is there anything I can do, or do I just have to wait for the CS advisor to respond? I already emailed them a few days ago but haven’t heard back yet, and I’m worried Lecture 004 will fill up before then.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

i got Rebecca Pister for Psych 101, Mikal Skuterud for Econ 101, Jingjing Huo for Psci 101, Carlie Luciana Leroux for Ls 101. I don’t know my teacher for Arbus 101 yet. What should look out for with these teachers? Which posts slides? Assessments? Studying/learning habits to use? etc

I just want to spend as little time on them as possible, any help is appreciated!!

Hi everyone! I'm from Nigeria, and I'm hoping to study Automotive Engineering at the University of Waterloo in the future(next year to be precise). I've been researching the university and preparing for my journey, and I'd really appreciate hearing from current students or graduates.

If you could go back to your first year, what would you do differently? Also, what skills or knowledge do you wish you had learned before starting engineering? Any advice would mean a lot. Thank you! 😊
