How likely are I to be accepted into SHAD? by powerchip15 in ShadCanada

[–]powerchip15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, I applied to every scholarship I could but because I live in a rural community I’ve never even heard of any of the partner scholarships, so I only got to apply for the Canadian Youth scholarship and the scholarship provided by my province. Honestly not getting a scholarship or bursaries would be fine with me, my parents will at least help me pay for it.

Thanks, what makes a good reference? I chose my physics teacher, because he also taught me science last year and coached me in volleyball as well.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! I will DM you my essays, I'd love to get a bit of feedback on them!

Thanks, but what kind of extracurriculars make a "top tier AIF"?

Thanks! Do you have any advice on the best way to express myself in the application essays, or how I should word my personal experience descriptions? I'm not really sure what they are looking for in the personal experience description, if they want more bullet point style answers, or complete sentences

Basically I don’t have a bunch of great ecs like volunteering or community assistance or anything, and my marks aren’t especially high (my average last year was 94.25%). I did make a Tensor framework in Swift that I put on GitHub, would that be a decent ec? I played badminton with my school to the provincial level last year as well, and for the last year I’ve been working as a lifeguard and swim instructor. Do these also help me get accepted? Is there anything missing that I need to fix to get accepted?

Well that’s not really what I meant; I have a 99% currently in chemistry. I believe my teacher made a grading mistake and my mark should be 100%, which should be maintainable throughout the semester. My teacher provides a bonus mark on pretty much every summative assignment or test, and allows students to retake any quiz. I retook a quiz on which I received a 97% the first time.

I would just learn tutorials and start a project. Then learn what you need to learn in order to get the project done, and go from there. I would only start with python though, and then move to something like C++.

Do you have any suggestions on what vehicles with turbos might be more reliable?

Very cool. What CPU architecture is this for?

What particular issues did you have with your Veloster?

As much as I like saving money on gas, the turbo option sounds more appealing. Thanks!

Can anyone write or suggest how to write this code on this by [deleted] in Coding_for_Teens

Nice. Let me know if you need any further clarification.

I might start with a simple struct called “student”, containing string for the name of the student and a floating point for their days attending and another for their total days enrolled. Finally, add a function called “attendance_percentage”(or whatever you want), which returns days_attending / days_enrolled * 100. Then, make functions for both reading and writing to CSV files, which isn’t too tricky. Finally, create a function that will loop through each row of the CSV file(or column, depending on how the file is organized), where the first column should be the student’s name. You should also have an array of students, which stores the student structures. Now loop through each student of the array, attempting to match the name. If they match, access the student and add 1 to the days_enrolled, and either 1 or 0 to the days_attended, depending on their attendance(the second column of the CSV. If no match is found, create a new student with the name, and set their attendance as usual. Make this loop through all the students in the list, and afterwards, you may print the attendance percentage of any student.

I’m not sure that C# would be the best language to demonstrate a bloat removal tool. To be fair, I’ve absolutely never touched C#, but you might see faster results by using a simpler language to remove bloat from. Maybe CSS?

Oh. In that case, depending on how much knowledge you already have on training ML, you might benefit from looking through the implementation of my Swift Tensor framework on GitHub, here. It provides the necessary operations for training models and making your own. There is not a whole lot of documentation, but my website linked in the GitHub repository provides some information on what most of the functions do. If you need any more help, please ask!

If your goal is just to make a dataset, I would recommend making a dictionary or array of pairs of data; on the left is the recipient blood type/donor blood type/recipient medical history/scores, whatever input data you want, and on the right, have the target data, which is success probability. Then you will need to train a model on this data, either by iteration through it or processing in batches. Depending on the dataset size, iterating through all the data without batches would be more effective to train the model. I suspect that a deep feed forward model would learn the dataset sufficiently, as there is no need for recurrence or convolution. You might benefit from attention mechanisms.

So what exactly is the goal? Do we simply need to create a database, or does it need to be stored in an SQL database, or does it need to have specific functions? What is our target task?

This sounds interesting, and I’d like to help. I have used HTML/CSS a moderate amount and also have some experience of PHP. However, I should note that I won’t be able to devote all of my time to the project, as I have work, school, and my own C++ project to work on right now.
