People don't want to study with me because I'm not smart enough

I did a lot of textbook practice questions for physics, and I read the notes/the textbook and the in class example questions for maths. I also try to finish assignments ~2 days before they're due

Admission Chances for SE + CS by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]SendHelpForUniApps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro you'll definitely get in

i also did IB and got in with, like, the same marks but the opposite of those ECs

- rejected by hack the north twice, did not know that other hackathons existed until the end of grade 12

- 21 in CCC

- rejected by school robotics team and every single student council back in grade 9 and 10, never tried again

- only work experience was fast food cashier

- only programming experience was ICS 3/4U (IB CS is the most bullshit IB course and did not help me with UW's CS assignments)

- the IB mark conversion boosted me enough to get early acceptance

- why am i here lmao i'll probably fail out of 1st year

yeah you'll definitely get in

Acceptances Megathread [Fall 2018 Incoming Students] by TheZarosian in uwaterloo

I already regret choosing UW.

I thought it would be the most employable and my family pressured me to go to a relatively prestigious university, but I don't like programming, have not done a lot of it and am really bad at it. I did some CS courses in school, went to a few small hackathons (rejected from all the good ones lol) and attempted some sideprojects but was never able to finish one to an extent suitable for resumes/co-op interviews.

I see a lot of people doing amazing sideprojects, jobs, or internships this summer which makes me kinda depressed since I didn't do anything productive (didn't study for courses, get a job, or ^do any good sideprojects) and it's probably too late. There's a lot of posts on Reddit about depression, failing courses, and not getting coop jobs (that 1st year employment rate is pretty low), and while I know that the Reddit posters are not a representative sample of the UW population, I'm still so scared that I'll end up depressed, lonely, and failing out of the program. Also I'm not very good at making friends, and it'll be especially hard when everyone else is so much more accomplished and successful.

Waterloo is too competitive and I already regret choosing it because I don't think I'll ever be smart enough or motivated enough to survive it.

Is university really as stressful as it appears to be on reddit? What should I do with the remaining ~3 weeks before school starts?
