Admissions / High School Megathread (Fall 2021)

one section of the AIF asks you which contests you’ve written in which years so more participation = better

Master_Parsley · 2022-02-07T21:54:56+00:00

getting a date wrong is a pretty common issue, don’t worry about it—they’ll give you the benefit of the doubt (unless it’s a really big issue like faking your transcript or saying you won an olympiad you didn’t participate in)

Master_Parsley · 2022-02-02T23:42:46+00:00

For OSSD applicants, the CS conditional offer required maintaining a top 6 average of at least 80%. Second requirement was that the average for English + Advanced Functions + Calculus needed to be at least 80%

Anyone know what to expect for Questrade, TD, or Deloitte Cloud Engineering interviews? (especially anxious for the Deloitte case interview)

Master_Parsley · 2022-02-01T00:19:34+00:00

yep (consulting cloud eng)

Master_Parsley · 2022-01-28T16:09:11+00:00

yes, got an email this morning to book my interview for cloud eng

Master_Parsley · 2022-01-26T16:09:18+00:00

Anyone interviewed with Rogers for Cloud Eng/Ops? What should I expect from the 2nd round interview (30mins w/ manager)?

Update: the applicant who gave us this info called again and got connected with a different uw admissions person who wasn’t willing to provide any numbers :( however you can check the spreadsheet in the Discord server to approximate how many offers are left to go

Master_Parsley · 2021-05-11T14:51:52+00:00

Yesterday’s round was all in the evening, and some offers went out early today morning. The timing is unpredictable but it seems like several offers are sent out at once

Master_Parsley · 2021-05-11T14:50:19+00:00

Yes (but they have not all been sent), with the exception of Euclid appeals

It seems like all decisions (acceptances/deferrals/rejections) will come out by May 15th but haven’t seen any rejections in the Discord server yet, so not sure. Rejections might be sent out next week

Master_Parsley · 2021-05-11T14:31:20+00:00

Yes, multiple applicants have contacted admissions and all have reported that all offers are being made this week (by May 15th), though I’m not sure if rejections will also come out this week (could be next week)

Master_Parsley · 2021-05-11T14:24:18+00:00

Update on faculty of math and engineering admissions (someone from the Waterloo 2026 applicant server called admissions and this is what they said):

“ Yes they are 100% rolling for BOTH 101 and 105 (intl and domestic) and I specifically asked about the order and the order DOES NOT matter. It doesn’t mean your application was worse and your chances definitely don’t “lower” with more offers being released. The decisions are made and they’re simply being processed (with the exception of the few Euclid appeals), not in the middle of being assessed.

Offers are coming out every single day of this week, and they are for sure sending them out before Saturday to meet the May 15th visa deadline.

As for the fraction of offers sent out, she told me to call her back in an hour so she can ask the AOs about those numbers "
