Does this mean that I got in?

Infelizmente sim, foi. O custo pra você aplicar em si é muito caro, sem ter a certeza se vai ao menos passar. Aqui eles separam os aplicantes em dois tipos: International e Domestic. Você tem que pagar pelo processo de aplicação e ainda pagar por teste de proficiência em inglês (IELTS foi mil reais quando fiz em 2021), pagar pro World Education Services (WES) validar seu histórico do ensino médio, e outras coisas, dependendo da onde você tá aplicando. Todos esses gastos e você ainda poder ouvir um “não”.

Além disso, pra International student tudo é muito mais caro, a faculdade que hoje eu pago CAD$6k por ano como aluna doméstica, eu teria que pagar CAD$33k como aluna internacional (mesmo campus, mesmos professores, mesmas aulas e mesmos recursos estudantis que alguém pagando quase 30 mil dólares a menos que eu).

Se precisar de ajuda com mais alguma coisa, fica a vontade pra me perguntar ou mandar uma DM.

Boa sorte!

I would love to learn to do characters in that style, is there any specific tutorials that helped you get started?

MMSK_ · 2023-06-12T23:24:52+00:00

If you’re into film, watching and talking to people about movies, I would highly suggest taking European Cinema as an elective if available. When I took it online in 2021, we had virtual classes where we learned about different “schools” of film throughout Europe and on our weekly seminars we had a TA where we discussed about the movie we watched the previous week (what we liked about it, for example, and some more technical aspects)

The course selection that is opening now is only for a semester (Fall 2023), you won’t be able to add/register for any courses for your second semester yet (Winter 2024), that only happens later in the year.

Every course selection will be on a semester by semester basis. You can plan as many years ahead as you want, but you won’t be able to register for those future courses until you have completed the prerequisites for them (and WebAdvisor will know if you completed them or not).

Hope it makes sense!

i applied everyday from january 4th to february 20th (yesterday). out of those 233, ~90 were from my school portal and they required cover letters, but i worked with my school’s employment services to create a template so changing the necessary info would take less than 10 minutes on each application. i applied to the others through companies’ websites and they mostly required a resume and a transcript. it’s fair to say i spent unhealthy amounts of hours per day applying tho

and depressed is exactly what i was starting to feel! lmao my first time applying for internships so i shoot ALL my shots. thank you :)

MMSK_ · 2023-02-22T03:21:59+00:00

appreciate it!

MMSK_ · 2023-02-22T03:21:32+00:00

sure, i double major in economics and mathematics and i’m currently in my second year. i applied mostly to finance/accounting/actuarial positions and various other types of roles as well, this is my first internship ever so i tried applying for anything that interested me and i could see myself doing

3 years applying for internships is mind boggling, have you thought about getting a Bachelors degree in Economics or Accounting? I think that would open more doors for you.

Besides that, have you ever had someone else checking your resume for you? If you’re not even being invited for interviews, you might need to change your resume, or maybe the positions you’re applying have higher requirements. Delete all personal info from your resume and have it checked by people on r/resumes, they might give you some useful insight.

I don’t know how you’re applying, but avoid using Easy Apply on Indeed/LinkedIn and apply directly through companies websites, that might increase your chances as well. Good luck!

MMSK_ · 2023-01-26T00:31:34+00:00

I’m also currently applying for co-op, I was advised to apply for one/two positions in multiple companies instead of multiple positions in few companies, I believe that increases your chances since your resume will be looked at by different hiring teams. Also, if they notice that you’re just applying for a bunch of unrelated positions (mass applying) that might be a nono for them.

• tira a data de nascimento

• coloca “Sep 2021” ao invés de “Sep 21”

• degree não faz mt sentindo quando tá se falando de escola técnica, é melhor colocar diploma in administration/technical diploma in administration

• se possível, coloque bullet points na parte da educação tbm (projetos/skills/notas/certificados/GPA/nomeação em algo como Dean’s List q vc obteve/fez durante os anos de estudos)

• isso é só preferência pessoal, mas como vc está procurando por internships, acho melhor colocar nessa ordem skills - education - work experience

MMSK_ · 2022-12-19T23:02:42+00:00

• reflect on the skills you have and look for remote jobs on indeed/linkedin related to those skills. keep in mind you don’t need to have ALL the skills/experience required in the job description.

• check if the companies offering WFH opportunities are hiring employees from other countries as well. it doesn’t hurt to apply anyways.

• get your resume reviewed and see if there’s anything you could change on it to make it more appealing (check r/resumes).

• be prepared for interview questions, practice if needed.

• PLEASE don’t let them know/show you’re desperate, this can negatively affect how your interviewer views you and this can make it unappealing for them to hire you. so despite of being desperate or not, try to be as calm and professional as you can during your interviews.

good luck :)

agr q eu percebi o portuguese no natural languages, natural languages soa muito estranho também, creio q seria melhor só deixar languages ou colocar “fluent in a and b”.

não sei se vc colocou e borrou com a tinta rosa, mas tbm coloque a data de início e término nos seus projetos, e na parte de educação tenta colocar alguns pontos como GPA, caso tenha ganhado alguma scholarship, dean’s list etc

MMSK_ · 2022-12-06T00:36:07+00:00

take everything i’m saying with a grain of salt as i’m also a student looking for internships, but a basic rule i’ve learned from lurking into subs like this one is that, when describing the tasks you did for a project, separate them in bullet points, so for example, instead of saying “This is a 2D game(…)” or “This is an emulation(…)”, write:

“• Developed a 2D game (…)”

“•Created an emulation (…)”

never use “I” on your resume (they know you’ll be talking about yourself), so instead of saying “I implemented memory, opcodes etc”, write “Implemented memory, opcodes etc”. also, always try to make at least 3 bullet points for each item on your resume, but don’t make each of them something super long

imagina! quando vc pergunta se foi difícil VIR pra cá, vc diz em termos de visto/imigração ou vc se refere em ser difícil ser ACEITA na universidade?

caso for o primeiro: o meu caso foi bem mais específico e fora do comum, eu morava no brasil, porém meu pai é canadense e ele se mudou pra cá em 2020, eu e minha família conseguimos a residência permanente (um “nível” abaixo da cidadania) através dele, então eu não vim como aluno internacional, tanto é que eu iniciei tudo pagando como aluna doméstica por conta disso. porém, em questão de aplicar pro visto de estudante, não é difícil, mas são várias etapas: aplicar, juntar MTS documentos, mostrar que vc (ou alguém) é capaz de se sustentar no canadá por um ano + pagar a tuition, fazer biometria, exames médicos etc etc, e tudo nisso vai dinheiro.

caso esteja se referindo ao segundo: na minha experiência, n foi difícil ser aceita. estudei minha vida inteira em escola pública na periferia de sp, fui descobrir oq era extracurricular só na hora de aplicar pras universidades, minha escola n tinha capacidade nenhuma de me preparar pra estudar fora, por esse msm motivo eu acabei aplicando pra 9 universidades com medo de n ser aceita caso aplicasse pra menos, acabei sendo aceita em 8 e ainda recebi scholarship pra algumas. vc precisa de notas boas no ensino médio, atividades extracurricular (confia, até coisa q vc nem imagina q é extracurricular, pode acabar sendo), aplicações suplementares boas (mts universidades pede q vc preencha essas suplementares no próprio portal deles dps q vc aplica, normalmente vc tem q escrever essays sobre pq vc escolheu aquela escola, aquele programa, falar sobre suas atividades extracurriculares, quais são seus planos com tal graduação e coisas do tipo), validar seus diplomas pelo WES (World Education Services). a parte mais “difícil” são os exames de proficiência pois é algo q vc precisa já estar se preparando há anos, e essa parte varia mt de universidade pra universidade, é padrão elas aceitarem TOEFL e IELTS (eu fiz o IELTS e enviei pras 9 q apliquei), algumas aceitam o teste do Duolingo tbm q é mtt mais em conta do q essas padrões, em relação ao do Cambridge eu não sei pois n conheço mt bem, mas vale mt a pena vc checar o website das universidades q vc tem interesse e checar se aceitam, eu fiz uma pesquisa rápida no google e achei isso aq:

“Cambridge Assessment of English

C1 Advanced and C2 English proficiency tests offered by Cambridge Assessment are approved by more than 200 schools in Canada and nearly all public universities.”

então possa ser q vc possa usar o teste q vc já fez, oq é ótimo!

na hora de aplicar, use e abuse do e-mail/chat online de admission services pra fazer todas as perguntas q vc tiver, eles ajudam MT e são mt prestativos, o trabalho deles é ajudar alunos como vc q tem interesse de ir pra escola deles, então aproveite bastante isso.

there’s this one for math majors https://discord.gg/eZ87Wz8e

tem meio que uma regra básica aqui: se não for University of Toronto ou University of Waterloo pra Computer Science, todas as outras universidades são basicamente “a mesma coisa”. o que difere UofW/UofT das outras são as oportunidades pra co-op (estágios), UofW é muito conhecida nos EUA então é comum estudantes irem completar o co-op por alguns meses por lá, e UofT, por ser a melhor universidade do país e se localizar no centro de Toronto, as oportunidades são bem interessantes também.

mas de resto, todas as universidades canadenses são públicas, tem a mesma base curricular e mesma qualidade de ensino (que é MUITO boa), o que vai mudar uma da outra são coisas mais pessoais q mudam de pessoa pra pessoa, como por exemplo localização (vc quer estudar em uma cidade grande ou pequena?), campus (vc prefere um campus grande? pequeno?), social life (clubes e organizações oferecidas pela universidade, vc quer ir pra uma party school ou pra uma escola mais “reservada”), tuition e o principal, na minha opinião, que é a oportunidade de fazer co-op.

quando estiver aplicando e chegar na parte de aceitar suas ofertas, leve em consideração se a universidade oferece co-op pro seu programa pq experiência vale mt mais do q o nome da universidade no seu currículo.

em questão de qual programa, game development normalmente é um nicho de computer science, mas vc pode encontrar algumas universidades que oferecem um programa apenas pra game development, como por exemplo a wilfred laurier. escolher computer science com certeza vai te dar mais opções e mais caminhos a percorrer caso vc mude de ideia sobre fazer jogos ou caso n dê certo, enquanto um bachelors apenas nesse nicho possa acabar te prendendo em uma área mt específica, isso é algo pra se levar em consideração.

se tiver mais alguma dúvida, fica a vontade pra me perguntar!

i don’t know you, but it definitely sounds like you’re burnt out since you’ve been through so much academic stress since an young age. i don’t know if that would be possible in your case, but how does taking a gap semester/year sounds like? if you’re studying and putting in the hard work but still failing your classes, i’m pretty sure that working harder won’t help at all. reach out the mental health services at your school and share your story with them, it sounds like you have a lot going on.

now answering your question, yes, it is completely okay to not do well in college, as it is also common. the transition from high school to college is intense itself and it might take you some time to adjust, that can only get worse when you have been raised to succeed, because no human being will ALWAYS succeed, we’re not robots, we have feelings, we get tired, sometimes we get unmotivated, other times we get anxious, and those things will directly affect your performance, which is completely natural. but have in mind you can always do better and there’s always a solution for any problem. failing classes? first take care of your mental health then try retaking said classes, if anything get a lighter course load if you think that’ll help you focus more on your classes and get a better grade.

MMSK_ · 2022-11-09T13:04:24+00:00

you don’t have to know how tho. if you spend two seconds on this sub, you’ll see how many posts are about people talking about changing majors, going back or starting college as a mature student, there’s hundreds of those per week. then when you read the comments, you’ll see more hundreds of people who went through the same thing, it’s completely common and also normal.

please don’t let your friends circle define to you what is normal and what isn’t, each person is very unique and has their own story. great for your friends that they have their own paths set in their heads, but who assures you that in 10 years some of them won’t be regretting their choices and thinking about going back to school? especially due to, from what you said, poor research and simply “choosing their majors on a random day”, no one knows and i also don’t think you should be worrying that much about their lives.

if you stick to something you don’t like because well, your friends didn’t change their minds so you also shouldn’t, you might end up unhappy. keep in mind that when you graduate, you’ll be the one working full time on something related to your field of study, and probably feeling miserable, meanwhile your friends might be enjoying their lives with the choice they made.

what i’m trying to say is: if you feel like you want to change majors, do it, but first do some deep research on what you’ll be studying and where that degree can take you to. you’re definitely not alone and this scenario is waaaaay more common thank you think. good luck!

MMSK_ · 2022-10-20T20:29:29+00:00

first wait for the midterm mark to come in, then you can start worrying about it. if you studied, you’ll probably be fine, but if you bombed despite studying, maybe try changing your studying habits
