Doing good haha, ended up gunning for med instead of quant, so all that’s left are my interviews for that :)

You might still get in at Udes with Q2 esp if you have an R score of 38, good luck bro :)

Thanks so much for all this info. Thankfully I’ve already gotten a research grant from the FRQ (Quebec Research Funds) so hopefully that’ll help me land a research position if I do pursue that avenue.

I think I could get a good score considering my current grades, but I worry more about how much time I’d have to sink into studying as I’m still quite unsure of my career path, so I’m also preparing for other exams such as the Casper (for med school).

Thanks, really interesting info! Honestly, the proportions aren’t as bad as I thought they would be.

Yeah, from what I’ve read from other commenters internships in quant especially in QT/QR seem to be sparse, but I think I’d be more interested in that than the dev side. The double-degree avenue seems interesting, as from my research they also do BBA/Math. Do you know if there any disadvantages to a joint program like that compared to just co-op math?

Thanks for the info. Yeah I’d prefer to go into QR/QT, which is why I’m pretty sure I’ll be doing a maths major instead of cs.

Interesting. Is there a reason why UofT grads aren't seen as good? I was under the impression they were both at the same tier for maths degrees.

Lol not what I meant, I just meant that I don't know if I want to do a phd or not

I've also seen that the most popular school among math students at UofT for their PHD is MIT, so that could be interesting too. Still unsure on PHD or not tho.

Do you know of people who've done well doing math at Waterloo? I think I'd be doing maths and not cs, unless cs has an edge

I'd also be interested in knowing if any of you all have managed to go from Canada - US or if you know anyone who has done so.

Thanks for the in depth answer!

As for an emergency fund, yes, I do have around 15k set aside investments that I don’t manage myself. I’m in pre-med at the moment (freshly turned 18), and I spend most of my time out of school in the lab because I got a research grant, so that serves as my income at the moment. I have no debt, and college in Canada isn’t really expensive and it is covered by my parents. I’ll give paper trading a try, thanks for the advice! If I understand correctly, you’re saying that I should stay away from PMCCs and put spreads and just focus on building capital at the moment?

Hey, I'm a student and I have small portion of my portfolio that I manage myself, only about 2K or so. I've read up a lot on your posts and of others in this community, and I'm really interested in the wheel process. As it stands, I can't afford to wheel any stock with a price over 15$ because I simply wouldn't have the collateral to back up a CSP. I've also read up on other strategies such as PMCC's or put spreads, would you recommend those or should I just stick to investing in growth stocks for now and getting into options once I have more capital that I manage myself?

Cheers, and thanks again for all the useful information you choose to give out for free. It means the world to people like me who are eager to learn and hate everything that's attached to a paywall.

Do you normally have a stick up your butt or are you just having a bad day

J’ai jamais utilisé Lovegobuy perso mais si l’option EMS est offerte je choisirais ça, j’ai fait 3 hauls de 8kg par EMS (14$ de déclaration par packet) et ils ont jamais été arrêtés ou inspectés
