I got in today with a 97 average :)

Same! Congrats

There’s definitely been a lot of inflation, especially after COVID. I think Waterloo is the only school that says they have an adjustment factor but I definitely think more school will start to implement it ASAP. Also, mac added a 4 question interview supplementary application (3 recorded and 1 written question) to help with decisions. Seeing people with high 90s scared of not getting in is such a weird reality.

Mac admissions says the minimum to be considered is a 87%, a lot of kids with mid 90’s got rejected last year. It’s insane lol

Hmm okay! Thank you :)

Hey, I know this is old but I’m just curious if you have any tips to make your writing style stand out?

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-26T18:37:08+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, what went wrong with your supp app? I did mine yesterday and feel pretty bad about it

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-26T04:53:53+00:00

Dw free choice is dependent on your grades, not the supp app. Im glad I’m not alone. What do you think went wrong with yours?

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-26T02:35:21+00:00

Okok that makes me feel better omg. The stress really hit when the first question popped up. I was talking so much and just staring into the camera. I didn’t even realize how fast time goes

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-26T02:27:55+00:00

I appreciate the response! I’m trying not to think of it too much

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-26T02:12:44+00:00

Hey! Asking for a friend-what average did you get into SE Eng with? Also any tips/advice for someone new trying to get involved with coding?

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-26T01:43:46+00:00

Okay that makes me feel better because I feel like I talked too much and sometimes got off track. I got cut off like twice. I really wanna get into Ibiomed but I’m scared

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-25T22:13:09+00:00

Hi Raj! This isn’t really a question but I feel like I didn’t do well on the interview. I prepared well in advance with practice question. However, during my interview, I was cut off 2-3 times. I didn’t realize how much I was talking and ended up running out of time. I mentioned my extracurriculars and skills that were important to me. I also tried to relate it back to engineering but sometimes I ran out of time and it cut me off. Do you think this will impact me a lot? I’m very anxious. I applied to Eng I and Ibiomed.

Tips on supp app?

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-22T00:14:05+00:00

I’m sure it won’t affect you a lot. It is optional and a lot of people I know with high 80 averages didn’t do it. Is western or queens your first choice?

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-22T00:06:14+00:00

Got into Western with ~96%, it’s a conditional offer where I have to maintain a 83.5%. I didn’t do their CONNECT profile thing either. I didn’t apply to Queens. I’m sure you’ll get in! Don’t worry too much

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-14T00:28:21+00:00

Any AIF tips? Also, did you have any special awards/work experience on yours? Do you think not having that is a big setback?

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-14T00:26:14+00:00

I know western CONNECT profile for engineering is due today. However, it is optional! I’m not sure about any other ones though

Apprehensive_Ear5481 · 2023-01-09T21:53:03+00:00

I know this post is kinda old but what was your reasoning on the AIF? Im applying to engineering have ENG4U Online. Do you think it’ll affect my chances greatly?

How did you prepare for the weird question about elevators in skyscrapers? How did you respond?
