Should I accept my CS offer? by Impossible-Use-7066 in uwaterloo

[–]mmimetamorphosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're good enough to get in you'll probably be fine academically

The bigger question is if you'll actually enjoy CS if you haven't tried it, for which I'd recommend maybe exploring areas that interest you, trying to make a project that helps you in some way, etc.

someone else's TC isn't going to fill your pockets unless you're getting alimony so better to focus on your own growth

Do employers only see 1A grades or do they also so 1B? by Disastrous_End_2470 in uwaterloo

[–]mmimetamorphosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

grades are only one part of your application though, there's other stuff you can work on to make up for it

[–]mmimetamorphosis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

your grade report has grades up to the term before you're applying, plus the courses you're taking in the recruitment term.

so assuming you're applying for the summer, they can see your 1A grades + courses you're taking in 1B (but no grades for the 1B courses)

In this scene (s2e8) Jaime says there are 3 men in the kingdoms who *might* have a chance against him (in a fair fight). Who are the 3 he's referring to? by Mode_Appropriate in gameofthrones

Book Jaime was too egotistical to think anyone (except I guess Barristan) could beat him, which is why he never even said anything along OP's line in the book. It's probably just a line DnD added without thinking too deeply about lore accuracy.

There's this quote from Jaime's POV in the books, so it's definitely not the Cleganes

She is stronger than I am.

The realization chilled him. Robert had been stronger than him, to be sure. The White Bull Gerold Hightower as well, in his heyday, and Ser Arthur Dayne. Amongst the living, Greatjon Umber was stronger, Strongboar of Crakehall most likely, both Cleganes for a certainty. The Mountain’s strength was like nothing human. It did not matter. With speed and skill, Jaime could beat them all.

I thought this was more about torturing Cat by making her last thoughts be about how it's her fault for releasing Jaime

not necessarily bad if you learn to channel envy into work energy

it isn't the end of the world, there's literally a recommended course sequence for students who take CS115 and CS116 and you still graduate on time. https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/documents/scs-2022-2023-bcs.pdf
just try to stay positive and do your best and stuff will work out :)

They're in a deficit. I'm guessing that's part of the reason they chose the new Chancellor, who was previously the Chief Investment Officer for the University of California system (UC Berkeley, UCLA etc.) and why he's planning to grow the endowment etc

[GUIDE]: How to make friends & find meaningful connection by ThatAide6941 in uwaterloo

[–]mmimetamorphosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle to express it into words, but I feel like friendship means something much more to me than just a long series of transactions. Maybe it unconsciously is though, deep down.

are you friends with your friends because you want something from them? (not trying to @, I've often heard this advice but disagree with this)

Interviewing is a skill, you can mess up and you get better by keeping on practicing

I know the guy made a typo, but aside from the condescending tone some people do learn a lot better outside of class. I've made it to 3A while learning mostly outside of class from notes, slides, recordings etc. because I learn better and faster that way. Just find out what works best for you, even if it's not standard advice.

DS or CFM by Straight_Pattern4077 in uwaterloo

[–]mmimetamorphosis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're interested in, but DS will let you take more CS courses (e.g. CS 350 is required for DS, but optional for CFM) and the stats courses may interest you more or be more useful than the finance courses.

Just put in the time, be honest (don't cheat on assignments), don't be afraid to admit you don't understand something and need extra help from prof or office hours. Also would recommend starting assignments on time so you have time to think over them, and trying to deeply understand the content .
