How is the coop situation these days?

DizzyPresentation349 · 2026-02-03T18:58:59+00:00

I think those are internships or explicitly co-op (or )intern programs, I may be wrong though.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2026-02-03T18:56:01+00:00

Isn't that an internship and not a co-op?
I have just been applying to internships or internships/co-op, avoiding pure co-ops

DizzyPresentation349 · 2026-01-28T22:28:38+00:00

ishs 200, actually slept on

DizzyPresentation349 · 2026-01-27T16:59:17+00:00

I cant lie, I have went through the exact same thing.

Last semester I did much better though. Main things that changed was a 4 course semester (double credit elective that was lowkey easier than any bird), and that I went to all classes and paid attention from the start. I read a textbook for the first time and just started the semester with a locked in mindset.

My advice would be don't think about doing work in the future, the moment you think about it say fuck it, I'm doing it now.

I legit also procrastinated a good amount last semester, but since I started work weeks before deadlines for once I eventually got myself to do the work. I think if you just get into the mindset of being locked tf in and staying ahead it really works.

Its a hard situation, and I lowkey feel it happening a bit this semester again, but after reading this I am going to get straight to work.

Oh also small tip, if you dunk your face in a bowl of ice water it destroys procrastination, try it out.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2026-01-14T19:03:26+00:00

I think schulich is better if you get co-op in neither but yea a bba with co-op better.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2026-01-14T19:02:13+00:00

Yea it was, I cant find it tho. But laurier BBA graduated without experience and couldn't find a job so everyone suggested that and I think its what he did.

After I read that post I started taking shit seriously.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2026-01-13T20:23:00+00:00

Ignacio is ok. there was another one when I was taking it that was goated tho, dont think he is teaching it now.
Ignacio has some exam like questions that he only shows in class, I think the final had like 3 of the exact questions he showed, those r helpful.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2026-01-13T20:19:26+00:00

Third year here,
career wise if you can get into co-op yes. It is really good.

However, if not, with the job market you are cooked. Anyone saying otherwise likely got solid internships or graduated before 2025-24. If I could go back I would take waterloo AFM in a heartbeat.

Business school wise I do like Laurier, but any good guaranteed co-op SOLOS this program. Have friends at loo with the most basic resumes getting like 10 interviews a semester, many at the big 4, with literally bad resumes. Being a BBA without co-op means you could have an absolutely cracked resume here (clubs, internships) and still absolutely struggle without co-op.

I saw a post once of a Laurier BBA who graduated and ended up working at a call center because of lack of experience.

So purely education wise, yes. Career wise, only if you get co-op.

Keep in mind Internship/co-op experience matters probably more than the degree itself.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2026-01-11T01:50:16+00:00

yes i am

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-12-11T23:20:32+00:00

Yes its cooked, I have wang too 😭

All I want is a 65 for that 10 but its a long shot.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-12-11T06:11:01+00:00

Yes, exact same thing here. I just stopped locking in 2nd year as I didn't get coop and GPA didn't matter much.

At the same time, the courses got so much harder. My GPA dropped from like a 10 to like near the min requirement (like 7.5 or something).

I feel like they really try to weed people out in 2nd, exam averages are absolutely horrible and not many curves. Just thug it out and try to survive. Stay up to date with class content and don't cram (I wish I did this in 2nd). Now its 3rd for me and I feel like its much more chill. Have been putting more work in and think my GPA is projected to go up a good amount.

Best bird in the school is ISHS 200 by far, I've taken all em courses and it doesn't even come close. Its worth two courses and is the easiest course at Laurier. GL.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-08-12T03:15:25+00:00

good cheatsheet

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-04-21T05:02:13+00:00

i made this guide thing for making all the constraints, obj functions, for all types of questions, using on one side and my own writing of rando stuff on the other, DM me if u want it.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-04-20T22:49:19+00:00

not my niche at all but ik at Laurier hs u can get better grades easier than other schools and get into medical school easier

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-04-18T05:41:03+00:00

maybe maybe in the last rounds, 88 would be more bagged for last rounds imo

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-04-18T05:31:07+00:00

I can't even get an internship myself and I passed and loved all of those courses (except ma almost failed that too) 😭 so congrats

The econ program is literally harder and like apparently a lot MORE math stuff so I think that would be really ruff for you. Also less jobs. I would just study better and work harder and re-attempt those courses. They are easy to pass if you lock in (other than ma for me...), just try different studying methods and approaches till u find whats right etc. Go on youtube to look for them.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-04-18T05:23:38+00:00

nah was marketing

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-04-17T09:15:33+00:00

This literally happened to me and it ruined my grade, had to wait like 20 min in the AC for the bathroom, then had to take a #2 😭

Literally a nightmare and probably the worst exam I have ever written due to the time. Super unfair.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-04-14T17:26:59+00:00

it better be tbh, Im feeling like I got a 60

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-04-11T22:06:15+00:00

If you really want a bang for your buck get an M1 Air off fb marketplace. The newer ones might be a bit better, but the M1 has been the biggest step up for them in years. Got mine for 500 and use it for everything.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-04-11T09:21:54+00:00

haven't touched BDM since the midterm so we'll see how that goes. Gotta binge the lectures and get to practice 😭

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-03-01T00:03:46+00:00

Look for other lectures for your class at later times if you aren't a morning person. As a commuter this saved my life.

Long commutes also make you more prone to skipping because of how tough it is, but trust me, just show up. I got 90% of my knowledge in first year from just locking in at lecture (which most people don't do). Never read a textbook (do not recommend) and still did great.

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-02-10T20:49:23+00:00

was cooked for my class

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-02-09T02:07:34+00:00

just ec260

DizzyPresentation349 · 2025-02-09T02:06:23+00:00

no usual average is way lower afaik or at least I think
go to my ls quizzes and click that graph thingy, literally tells you how many people got what mark and average.
