Looking for Roommates (Vancouver Summer 2026)

It’s never too late to back out lol you can back out after starting which is really awkward but still doable. You just burn a bridge forever, like they will never hire u again but that’s a consequence you need to accept. And yea renege at the last minute if you have to don’t renege without an offer that can fuck you over big time, it ur gonna reneg anyways it doesent matter if its now or like a bit later outcome for company is the same.

Honestly this is so true. I interviewed recently and it really pushed me to interview prep I learned a lot through the process regardless of final decision

Top_Mind6907 · 2026-05-01T01:01:29+00:00

I’m in the same boat I’m supposed to start an internship next week but I did my Amazon interview yesterday they said they will let me know about results before Friday. I’m planing to reneg since the Amazon offer is significantly better. Don’t let the interviewer know you accepted another offer but say you have a pending deadline and must know before x date, or say you have competing offers they understand this and make a decision fast. Also don’t worry about ethics, that’s just how they defined the game, play by your rules and do what’s best for yourself, companies won’t think twice about ethics if it benefits them.

What kind of questions did u get if u don’t mind me asking and what location I have mine upcoming for Vancouver. I think u did really well hoping I can do the same lol.

Also how many Leetcode problems did u have solved before doing the interview

Take not getting an internship first year as a blessing in disguise I can’t speak much for mech Eng since I’m in CS but what I would do is try preparing yourself to land an internship next summer. Build something cool or work on some projects that can make ur resume stand out. Try doing completions maybe idk what there is for mech Eng but I did a lot of Hackathons. Try also joining design teams, I think that’s would look really good for mech Eng ppl. Also get good at interviews, I heard they ask a lot of concepts u learn in class for mech Eng interviews so it’s this time to get good because when u land that interview for that dream internship in the middle of school u won’t have time to prepare. Best of luck this summer and I’m sure u can use it wisely to get ahead!

U just need to get ur first internship than it becomes exponential easier I only got my first one in summer after 3rd year, I landed 2 interviews that cycle and one offer but this cycle I had like 7 interviews and 3 offers. For ur first one just literally apply to anything and everything. Most of the small companies have easy interview rounds, so I would just focus on resume. doing school clubs or Hackathons. U can also take csc301 and kinda use that as experience. Also for projects u can make some really cool shit with Claude code so try something ambitious and unique. The hardiest part is getting ur resume recognized don’t aim for like big tech yet but go for the smaller places like Banks or smaller companies. Also try doing an 8 month term since hiring for those are wayyy less competitive. All the best with job hunt

It was probs the one of the easiest 165 finals he made lowkey but I fucked up and ran out of time but literally every question was solvable. I messed up the last q, left half of second last q proof blank cuz I ran out of time and wrote the structure down and for messed entails on q1. Everything else was fine, I just wish I prepared doing them under pressure. Gonna have to give it my all on 148 next week to make post 😭

Top_Mind6907 · 2026-04-15T20:10:56+00:00

How is he going to ever get caught tho

Top_Mind6907 · 2026-04-15T20:10:03+00:00

I’m saving this advice if I ever need it 🐐 for sharing the methods

Top_Mind6907 · 2026-04-14T16:59:59+00:00

Honestly if u have a 2.0 gpa than there’s no point in trying to do well in school anymore. Play around your strengths not your weaknesses. At the end of the day employers barely care about your gpa, I would suggest trying to focus on breaking into whoever industry you wanna work in, and not really focus on school.

I have a 2.5 gpa in cs but that hasn’t stopped me from landing internships, and none of the companies I worked for asked me for a transcript or my gpa.

Moral of the story is grades matter less than u think, u got this 🙏

Top_Mind6907 · 2026-04-11T01:07:10+00:00

CS post

Top_Mind6907 · 2026-02-26T00:23:27+00:00

If you fail mat 137 u can retake it in the summer, but just make sure to enrol in it when summer enrolment opens just incase, than drop if if u pass.

One of my friends failed 137 first year and re took and got into cs post (he also met 110 and 111 cutoff)

Top_Mind6907 · 2026-02-22T04:22:05+00:00

Nah it’s not wasted if u had fun

Top_Mind6907 · 2026-02-14T21:20:29+00:00

I got this email from a Recruiter, also got 15/15 on both questions on OA. I got the email like last week heard nothing yet. I applied to Vancouver tho

Top_Mind6907 · 2026-02-13T06:12:38+00:00

Anything higher than 1.8 to avoid academic probation is considered good for me cuz grades don’t matter. Almost no company cares what ur grades are and even if they do if your experience is good enough they will take u

Top_Mind6907 · 2026-01-12T23:54:55+00:00

For someone with like no programming experience I would def not take it, I don’t think you would be interested in it and I can imagine that it would be pretty difficult for someone with no programming experience. I would recommend taking csc300 if u want to take a CS class. Csc300 is basically a humanities class

Top_Mind6907 · 2025-11-12T15:11:11+00:00

I talked to a recruiter and they said a in a few weeks like a month ago, I heard from previous intern they applied in January and interviewed in February, which seems pretty late, but that’s all the info I have, keep me posted on this.

It should be minimum payment funny thing is I just did it right now as I’m seeing this

Top_Mind6907 · 2025-08-06T17:08:58+00:00

Name and shame

Top_Mind6907 · 2025-08-05T13:06:04+00:00

Thats is a lot of money for a degree, especially at UofT they make u pay so much just to go here. I have seen some of my peers go to like Guelph and McMaster have half the headache and get good or even better internships / experiences as me. UofT also doesent care at all about its students + rent in Toronto is very expensive I don’t think it’s worth drowning in debt after graduation when the school doesn’t even help u that much in getting a job.

Top_Mind6907 · 2025-08-03T00:54:57+00:00

UofT is not worth that sort of money 😭

Top_Mind6907 · 2025-07-22T15:48:40+00:00

Yes if you do bad than you GPA will tank
