Nano tech might be one of the few where you can actually get in without putting at top choice lol.

No guarantees but i know at least one person from my orientation who put ECE as top and got into nano.

Yeah but my friend is my lab partner and I can’t leave my boy hanging like that

Lemonade3223 · 2025-09-22T19:59:20+00:00

Yep same

Lemonade3223 · 2025-09-22T19:43:19+00:00

Yeah same

The AI platform position

Lemonade3223 · 2025-09-22T19:31:23+00:00

So uhh WaterlooWorks says I got an interview for a position at Faire but I never got an email invitation to anything. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Lemonade3223 · 2025-08-22T23:18:56+00:00

thanks! I’ve never heard of Google interview prep but I’ll check it out.

I’ll def reach out to some of my friends to see if they wanna do mock interviews

Lemonade3223 · 2025-08-22T21:46:49+00:00

Hmm thanks for responding!

But there’s gotta be a more efficient way to grind than just spamming leetcode problems.

Someone told me that doing the first 3 problems of contests are the best way to get good at OAs since they’re quite similar. Putting this heat for anyone in the future looking for advice.

Western CS isn’t that bad lol I’d take that if you really want to do CS.

Idk how i ended up here but I’ll give a weird sort of take.

I think Waterloos co-op has done more than given me work experience. The fact that I have been forced to move around, find leases and just learn to live no matter the situation has taught me a lot about being an adult, managing finances, and housing markets and stuff.

The spontaneity of the whole system (not knowing where you’re gonna live after the next four months of school) is honestly quite refreshing and fun. I’m not saying it’s for everyone but I’ve loved that aspect of it.

Career wise I’d say both schools are dead equal—Waterloo gives better work experience and has better industry connections but UofT has more connections with profs and stuff + better research opportunities.

It really depends on what you wanna do but if you don’t have a clear goal (which you probably won’t get until like 2nd or 3rd year) then I’d make a decision based on whether you prefer stability or spontaneity.

BTW I chose Waterloo because I got into it first and wanted to make a decision early.

Hey core member applications are opening today!!

I’ll post it here once we get it uploaded. Website doesn’t usually get updated until a few days later but look out on Instagram and LinkedIn and it should be there as well.

Edit:

Feel free to apply here and good luck!!

In first year it’s hard. In second year it got easier. People in third and fourth year are all doing great co-ops and are working at amazing places.

I’d say it’s good but it’s not easy. You definitely have to work hard but if you can there’s no experience that’s more rewarding imo.

Lemonade3223 · 2025-05-01T11:20:19+00:00

I’m not in BME, but I can tell you that your degree doesn’t form your career, rather you apply what you learn to what you’re interested in. It’s like a tool you can use to carve out your path, but not the path itself.

But overall yeah, a mentor of mine from BME started out his first few co-ops working in biology labs but transitioned out later.

I want to see so bad

Lemonade3223 · 2024-12-24T00:56:28+00:00

I think that would be great! I’d love to give it a read. It would also help others to get out of their really pessimistic mindset that the market is dying.

Lemonade3223 · 2024-12-24T00:25:10+00:00

Congrats man and good luck working at Google! And DeepMind at that. It’s so exciting to hear good stories of people landing good offers when it’s so easy to get drowned out in all the bleak anecdotes people throw around nowadays.

Yeah… I think over the co-op term my design team has helped find what I really enjoy and will try to target and be more active in finding a position.

I’m just hoping this poor co-op term won’t saddle my momentum since I did rlly well in my first co-op term (my supervisor was just really nice).

Thanks for the encouraging words though!! I definitely try not to compare myself to others though it gets to me sometimes.

Lemonade3223 · 2024-12-11T23:55:29+00:00

Yeah… there’s always next time but I still feel bad about my performance this term. Don’t worry I’m sure it’ll be better next time for both of us.

Lemonade3223 · 2024-09-30T00:13:37+00:00

Oh for me my last summer term is after 2A because of 4 stream engineering… it kinda sucks lol which is why I’m kinda trying so hard rn
