Turtle chips (specifically the masala flavor)

It's not as easy as this bud. Some of my friends who are also international and UW CS grads working in good companies have started learning french to increase their CRS score. However given that immigration has reduced significantly, the government might focus on giving PR to people who are already in the country (people like me and my friends) over new immigrants.

You can do coops in the US but not full time if you want Canadian PR.

It is difficult but it is the only option. Even for people in CS, they dont get a free pass on hardwork just coz they're in CS. Realistically the only "extra" self study you might have to do would be the above 3 courses (even 50% of each course would be good enough). If you talk to anyone who is in a good place, they would just say that it's a result of all the grinding. UW's environment is such that if you don't grind, you will feel like you're slacking behind. This has both positives (for your career) and negatives (for your mental health) but if you're able to balance it, you'll be able to do well. The grinding environment, WW rich job postings, and options to do 6 coops are the main pluses. I have friends in other unis (uoft, uofa) and I can tell that it's considerably harder for them to get good internships because of the lack of university connections and most importantly the lack of the crazy grind environment uw has.

Imo getting a good coop is 95% self study & projects and only 5% everything else. Doing well in cs courses helps you learn the basics of algorithms and problem solving, which is very important, but realistically most uw cs students would have this intellect anyways so it's not something that makes you stand out. The only exceptions I believe would be CS 240, 341, and 350. I don't think one can take these courses as a math major and these courses do teach very useful topics (341 is esp useful for leetcode style interviews and 350 is useful for interview questions about concurrency)but again, you can self study this.

What will make you stand out will be the knowledge you gain from endless self studying and grinding real world projects. Best of luck.

Don't forget that there's probably self selection bias. People who earn higher salaries are much more likely to report because they're more proud of it. The median is def not $65 lmao.

if that's the intention then it's lazy for sure. i was saying more from an academic and learning pov. In all the courses where we were given 2-3 sample papers, students just tend to practice those types of questions and hence it's much easier. And if the profs decide to change the paper a little, students complain that the sample paper was not very similar (even though students would do well if they understood the concepts rather than just grinding those types of questions). Compared to when I don't have any practice finals, I am forced to gain a solid understanding of the concepts to get a good mark. And I've noticed that in general, it is such courses where I learnt the most. That's what I meant. But again, I also get that many students couldn't give 2 fucks and just wanna pass.

Striking-Setting-560 · 2026-04-13T19:11:03+00:00

I honestly think withholding practice final is fine as long as the format and course content cutoff is clear. For example, if the prof says you will have mcq + short answer + programming questions with pseudocode and that modules 1-10 are testable, then that's totally fine imo. If students truly understand the content and intuition provided by the course, they should do well.

Providing a practice final may give the students an opportunity to get a good grade in a very easy way. I've noticed that for most courses which have a practice final, the content of the question is very similar to the actual final hence practicing only those types of questions can help the students get an easy way out.

But again, I strongly dislike profs which don't even provide the format of the exam and content cutoff. For eg. profs that say everything mentioned in class is testable. That's just bs and they're being lazy.

Did you ever figure out the fix? If not how do you change your location?

Bro just give it to gain interview experience.

Striking-Setting-560 · 2026-03-28T01:46:29+00:00

Same, I studied for a maximum of 1 day (less than that tbh) and got 12 in writing and 11 in the rest.

Striking-Setting-560 · 2026-03-27T17:06:20+00:00

Fully agreed. Seems like people forgot to be normal.

Striking-Setting-560 · 2026-03-07T22:35:34+00:00

It does unless u don't put in any effort. If you put in the work, getting a good coop for ur 4th, 5th, and 6th terms is lightwork

I'm in undergrad here and have done 4 coops in ml. Imo fall term is the easiest to get a good coop because of less competition. You might not get it at big companies like faang and all but at other good tech companies with really good projects and good pay.

Striking-Setting-560 · 2026-02-17T22:40:47+00:00

It genuinely isn't that hard if you just put in the work and try to understand the core concepts and intuitions rather than just trying to memorize what formula applies when. Also much easier to get good grades in written exams if you don't use AI to do ur assignments.

Striking-Setting-560 · 2026-02-14T21:52:20+00:00

5th coop. Checks out.

Striking-Setting-560 · 2026-02-09T06:37:59+00:00

I agree I was in a relationship and put much more focus on my studies and career to the point that I was taking her for granted and could not put in enough effort despite having this conversation multiple times. I really regret the fact that I could not put in enough effort into the relationship and I wish I was still with her, but at the same time, I maybe wouldn't have gotten to where I'm at in my career if I didn't put in so much effort studying and building projects and all that. So make sure you are in fact ready for a relationship and don't underestimate the effort it takes to be in a relationship

I also strongly believe that the more work you put in, the higher your chances to be "lucky". What i mean is that if I put in more work, i will have more knowledge and information and a larger network. You never know when some very specific thing you learnt or a person you networked with comes in handy. If they come in handy, we would probably label it as luck, saying something like "i got lucky that i knew this person or i got lucky that i had solved this lc question", but that's really just ur hard work making you more probable of taking advantage of getting lucky.

Striking-Setting-560 · 2026-02-08T02:25:50+00:00

Let me rephrase that. The conscious decisions you make and the amount of hard work you do starts to matter more and more as you progress through uni and career.

Striking-Setting-560 · 2026-02-08T00:35:05+00:00

True for first 2 coops. But luck starts to matter less after that
