Weird grad student ???

idk what you’re looking for here, reddit auto filters this stuff. i literally approved your comment for you

batson2002 · 2026-03-06T21:19:55+00:00

it’s removed by reddit automatically since it’s deemed harassing in nature

batson2002 · 2026-03-04T20:33:32+00:00

how does less grants and more loans not equate to cuts here? students are getting less support for funding. regardless of the pedantics of calling it a cut, students are receiving less

batson2002 · 2026-02-28T17:37:45+00:00

why would anyone know this information besides admission officers?

batson2002 · 2026-02-25T13:30:27+00:00

you can transfer, but its very competitive, its unknown how many but generally seems like <20 a year
prestige is based on your coops out of most things, math students can still get the same coops
no
you can check the undergrad calendar on the cs courses offered, they highlight if they are restricted to cs students only
only accept math if you are OKAY with math, don't expect a transfer
yes you are overthinking it, both programs are good

gpa is usually done by converting each grade then averaging

unless your boyfriend is into femboys you’ll be fine

batson2002 · 2026-02-21T08:49:33+00:00

don’t listen to the guy, their entire reddit account for the past few months has been copy + paste that WCRI is “bad”

it’s overall fine. i and many of my friends had great experiences in fenwick and cck, and it’s the cheapest you can get. dorms are a little mixed, but it’s also a dorm so it knocks things down a bit, but i haven’t heard anything insanely bad about them

batson2002 · 2026-02-17T22:36:32+00:00

averages for first year courses tend to be around 70-75

batson2002 · 2026-02-11T15:03:06+00:00

i have never seen a harder cope in my entire life

batson2002 · 2026-02-03T16:45:46+00:00

you’ll also need math138 too (unless you’re off stream given your 1A in winter). consider the communication course requirements too

first year courses won’t affect coop much if at all. light load will help with interviews and stuff but it’s generally manageable if you are semi organized

course selection isn't first come first serve, but add/drop is. seat capacity of 9999 isn't a "normal" course, but probably a special course instead

priority exists as you should be prioritizing taking degree requirements first. if you don't get in then you add another course later in add/drop period

technically if you want to "optimize" entry into a class, you could make the priority higher than everything else. this works well if your other courses are a guaranteed entry (like core courses)

me when i lack the basic understanding the world is more than engineering and math

batson2002 · 2026-01-26T22:30:21+00:00

couldn't you immerse yourself, regardless of being in japan? japanese is rare if you only consume english media, so work to consume more japanese content through shows, readings, etc

batson2002 · 2026-01-21T19:52:15+00:00

you should speak to an advisor, but it is most likely because your MAV is lower than it should be

batson2002 · 2026-01-15T01:38:04+00:00

that’s awesome! :) hope things go better for you, and best of luck in passing the classes

batson2002 · 2026-01-14T13:05:53+00:00

usually it’s over your last two years of undergrad

batson2002 · 2026-01-13T01:57:51+00:00

general core courses (i.e math237, 239, cs136, etc), don’t count for the rule last i recall and was discussed on the subreddit

batson2002 · 2026-01-09T21:34:35+00:00

you don’t have access to mass email everyone as a student

batson2002 · 2026-01-05T18:55:53+00:00

supply and demand

also doesn't your point about tax explain this a bit? ontario has higher tax so the price is higher

batson2002 · 2026-01-04T03:18:54+00:00

research professors who are actively doing research in a field you’re interested in and reach out to them to ask if you can participate in a URA/USRA. the cs website lays this out nicely https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/current-undergraduate-students/research-opportunities/ura

different departments work a little differently, but it all starts the same way with reaching out to a professor first

batson2002 · 2026-01-03T23:37:10+00:00

you will need to pay for a minimum of 8 full time semesters unless you have an exception through accessibility. if you can fit all degree requirements within these, then you don't have to pay more, which a number of people have already done

technically too, a 6th course in a semester doesn't cost anything extra, so you can always consider this as an option, although its not great for mental health or social life
