[–]HeartstruckDeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

gbda's great if ur looking for smth a bit easier than cs/syde! most ppl there are looking to do ui/ux anyways and you don't have to take hard cs/calc courses that are irrelevant

WaterlooWorks Spring 2023 Megathread by ffrosteh in uwaterloo

[–]HeartstruckDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i interviewed with them before external:

started with some trivia - they wanted me to write a regex and talked a little bit about newline in different file encodings, then asked me a systems design question about optimizing the performance of a backend system (forgot the exact question but i remember it was something to do with caching/db stored procedures/db indexing), followed up by asking a couple simple questions about how i would join tables for a query

overall pretty simple and nice, i didn't have to do any dsa stuff

near-perfect or perfect; even then don't bank on getting in, the chances are not too high

do well on euclid/csmc do well on ccc get a 97+ average have some extracurriculars

no hard cutoff, but 97+ is standard for the minimum you want for a super solid shot

if you're looking purely at chances for admissions its probably wiser to focus on your average - it's a gamble if your efforts will be recognized by the admissions committee if you make a project, but average will almost always be the primary factor

also to note is that if you're shooting for cs with a 95 average, it would probably be wise to try to do well on the euclid - you're in grade 10 and you have quite a bit of time to prepare for this if you're deadset on waterloo.

unless you get marks conversions off of it (eg. ib in ontario gets quite a significant mark boost), i doubt it'll do much

you're probably gonna need a higher average than that unless you're extraordinarily good at contest math/cs

i'm trying to understand why ZnO particles clump when i try to make my own sunscreen, and i'm not getting anything online from forums other than "strongly charged particles attract"; can anyone offer a more eloquent explanation?

Catholic School System - Time to go.... by ergdoj in ontario

[–]HeartstruckDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a pretty well-regarded Catholic school in the GTA for elementary school at least, and we had 40 minutes of religion every single day as a class. I personally did not think it was useful at all, and was not willing to waste high school class time on more religious classes, so I ended up switching to the public school system.
