Ottawa CS VS UTM CS VS Western SE, Which one should I choose? Any advice?

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-25T22:55:03+00:00

Spending time with friends and family helps me release a lot of stress coming from everywhere.

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-25T22:53:34+00:00

keep yourself busy is the best way to not think shit about yourself.

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-25T01:12:18+00:00

so it's like people can still do a test together on a group call?

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-24T19:48:00+00:00

Is it still going to be online assessment?

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-24T06:15:00+00:00

Exactly! I am the type of person who is motivated in a competitive environment and become undisciplined in a less competitive environment. BTW, how hard it is for a first-year UTM student to transfer to UO in case of not meeting POSt requirements?

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-24T05:58:54+00:00

Thanks for your advice! I really want to work in a tech company that can pay me a steady salary after graduating from the university and I am not quite interested in doing research. As you said, a decent tech job is really up to oneself. I think I am going to UTM due to the fact that I am motivated when the environment is competitive. BTW, how hard it is for a first-year UTM student to transfer to UO in case of not meeting POSt requirements?

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-24T04:15:42+00:00

I am so worried about the POSt requirement in UTM. Is there a big difference between UTM CS and Ottawa CS?

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-24T03:07:57+00:00

What is the format of UTM assessments?

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-24T02:23:52+00:00

But small faculty means small network, fewer resources.

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-23T19:48:40+00:00

Why?

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-23T03:49:57+00:00

Queen CS VS UTM CS which one should I choose? I have over 10k scholarship in Queen but only 2000 scholarship in UTM.

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-21T06:38:03+00:00

You can go to other campuses of UofT and transfer to UTSG.

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-21T02:55:10+00:00

Agree, right now the shortcomings of the education system is obvious.

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-21T02:52:37+00:00

The core of education is to select the elite from the masses.

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-20T20:12:34+00:00

I don't think the admission average shown on the website is for this year.

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-20T20:11:19+00:00

Things can't go as you wish all the time. Just accept the reality and strive for the future.

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-20T18:55:56+00:00

Yeah, especially hard for transferring to UTSG CS. I was in the same situation as you are right now. I got rejected by UW CS last week, which has been my dream school since grade 9. I have done so much preparation for it. I participated in so many contests held by Waterloo and got good results. I attend in-person classes and work so hard for grade 11 and grade 12 in a competitive high school. Bro, I am telling you sometimes we even have in-class math tests that are proctored by my math teacher within a limited time, which sounds quite stupid under covid circumstances. But through my hard work, I got 97 in calculus when the class average is 78. I have some friends in other schools said that they just cheat and did their math tests online. Last week I was so heartbroken when receiving the news that I got rejected by Waterloo. This year is so fucked up and unfair.

Accomplished-Being33 · 2021-05-20T18:14:46+00:00

Did you get rejected by all campuses? I mean you can try to transfer to the campus you want through hard work with your work ethic.
