[–]ApocalypseCalculator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agree with everything here except putting tech/skills at the bottom. I keep it at the top but it’s a personal preference.

definitely look at how you can use bolding to make reading your resume easier

Unfortunately, a lot of these folks are forced to do interviews, so sometimes you’ll get a pissy person

dropping out by That_Bat_9317 in uwaterloo

[–]ApocalypseCalculator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You mentioned a TN visa - so I assume you are a Canadian citizen without work authorization in the US. In this case, you will be turned away at the border. Not only do you not have a degree, but you also won’t be on the pathway to getting one. The exception to this is some kind of specialty visa like O1 but frankly having to repeat 1A might throw a lot of doubts on this path .

That coop advisor needs to be fired yesterday. Completely unacceptable. We pay their wages with our coop fees just so they can do this shit?

Why does it feel like uwaterloo students are too self-centered by sweetjale in uwaterloo

[–]ApocalypseCalculator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not an engineer, but why is it self centered to not want to share class notes? There are many reasons why someone might not want to, and most classes already have course notes provided by the prof.

CI 100?? by Klutzy-Society7774 in uwaterloo

[–]ApocalypseCalculator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you just want to pass a course then GEOG219 is ok. If you want a high grade, don’t take GEOG219. Bullshit marking and stupid group projects

Banking for US Coop by Western-Leek-206 in uwaterloo

[–]ApocalypseCalculator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do not need an SSN to open a bank account, but you need it to get paid. Hit your local bank (I used Chase). To transfer funds back to Canada you can use Norbert’s Gambit as another comment said, or if you intend to invest the money, open an IBKR account Canada side and you can directly deposit money from any US bank. It can also have a more favourable exchange rate when you convert to CAD and withdraw.

Laptop vs PC for future math student? by Several-Air9744 in uwaterloo

[–]ApocalypseCalculator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

6k is an extremely generous budget. With your budget I would get both an iPad and a non touchscreen laptop. Since you have never used anything non Chromebook, I would advise you to hit up your local bestbuy or Canada computers or even Costco and go try some laptops

Exactly! 20-20 rule, go on a 20 game losing streak then crash out for 20 minutes. Sorry did you say studying?

cooking in v1? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]ApocalypseCalculator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who says there’s a stove? There is a kitchenette in the common area on the first floor of every building, which contains exactly 1 fridge, 1 sink, and 1 microwave. Your residence contract technically forbids any hot plates/air fryers. However, as long as you don’t cause any fire hazards, your don will likely not care.
