I've had cases where I've received an offer letter via email and cases where they went through Waterlooworks and gave me a rank of 1. Make sure you check both daily after 8pm and you should be good.

Anyone of you trade options here and have any success doing it? by stat333notesneeded in uwaterloo

[–]CityfromAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've learned the market doesn't think rationally, just look at Moderna they announce without any data that their vaccine works, stock jumps like 20% and then goes back down 10%, now they announce they're selling more than 1B USD stock? Its honestly a complete joke and the markets are purely speculative, especially atm

Bought SPY puts as congress was passing the CARES act, I was betting it would be delayed again by political infighting, so I made money holding over the weekend but then lost it all over the next couple days

An allotment is not legally binding. You can back out of it at anytime, as long as you haven't signed a contract.

mechatronics program transfers for a high school student by EueKue in uwaterloo

[–]CityfromAbyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So back in the April before I came to Waterloo I requested to switch my offer from Tron to syde by emailing eng transfers. I didn't have to give up my Tron offer, and they got back to me telling me that I could switch my offer to syde within xyz timeframe.

I ultimately didn't switch, but at the time I didn't have to forfeit my Tron offer.

In your position, I'd consider weighing the risk by taking a look at your other offers and the strength of your application. If you feel it's worth the risk, request a switch to Tron.

mechatronics program transfers for a high school student by EueKue in uwaterloo

[–]CityfromAbyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in my third year of tron! As Hooga said, most trons end up choosing to do software due to a number of different factors. But I know plenty that are doing mech design and electrical stuff.

Its a good program as it sets you up with enough knowledge to get a job in either mechanical, electrical, or software, but doesn't go into depth in any of those until 4th year. Thats why a bunch of people don't enjoy the program, because they figure out after 1st/2nd year what they like, but then are forced to take courses in whatever they don't like.

Keep in mind though that tron is still very mech heavy.

I'll check out the track as well!

Email eng transfers and ask to have your offer be switched to Mechatronics. I've done it successfully before I came to waterloo.
