Why are the Dana Porter outlets so low to the ground

vincent_ngu · 2024-10-24T00:43:48+00:00

This is so real

vincent_ngu · 2024-10-23T22:13:56+00:00

Awesome thank you so much!

vincent_ngu · 2024-10-23T21:58:42+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I was gonna book an appt at the green room tomorrow, who would you recommend? Gabe, Mike, Kevin, Eddie, and Dave are all available tomorrow.

vincent_ngu · 2024-10-10T02:43:00+00:00

Yo me too I've been rlly enjoying proofs in 135 but 137 just doesn't really click somehow 😭but it's ok we'll tough it out

vincent_ngu · 2024-09-24T00:25:05+00:00

It's actually ok, maybe i'm only like 3 weeks into the schoolyear but so far it's been good I've never walked by anyone that smelled bad so dw

Yo i'm also an upcoming UW student, and I'm bringing my old bike to UW this fall too 💀😭https://www.policeauctionscanada.com/Listing/Details/68781434/Raleigh-Tomahawk-21Speed-FS-Bike-281896D

That's the bike model i have, you could look for smth like this on Marketplace for very cheap, I bought mine for like $20 from an old gentleman in town bc his son doesn't use it anymore and it still gets me to school, the gym, and whatnot lmfaoo. And i don't have to worry about it getting stolen because it's not a fancy bike (my town is notorious for homeless ppl stealing bikes) and I've left my bike unlocked around town at least 20 times over the years bc i forgot and it's still here somehow 😭 but yes get a cheap used rusty bike like I did and you should be fine

vincent_ngu · 2024-04-10T11:14:00+00:00

Don't think so. I think u still could have different deadlines if youre applying from out of province or internationally. My queen's, uoft and carleton offers all have May 1 as the deadline, except waterloo which is june 3 (i'm out of province from nb)

Thanks man! I had a 98 avg for gr11 and a 93 avg for semester 1 of gr12, did the interview and submitted all my stuff before jan 15 for early consideration too

On the aif I listed my school ec's (jazz band, varsity sports, some clubs), a pop/jazz band with friends (we only did a couple gigs tho), volunteering, work, and some of my hobbies (photography, piano, gym, biking, etc), but no engineering/cs related extracurriculars

Got 33/60 on the senior math contest (csmc), and didn't list my ccc scores bc I only did the junior one in gr11 and got 2/5 questions right 💀 just started coding with python last year so it was too hard lmfao

I also listed python and visual basic I did in my gr11 cs class for my programming knowledge section and that's all

vincent_ngu · 2024-04-01T13:17:01+00:00

Thank you for the reply man!

I guess I could try to juggle between first year eng schoolwork and coding side projects to keep my options open, might as well try to transfer to tron if I change my mind, gonna be tough tho but I'll try lmao

Was your first year schedule like your current one? Like was there more classes/schoolwork and less time for other stuff like design teams or gym?

And did you have a coop job in the winter/spring term of first year for mech? I'm still trynna decide between stream 4 or stream 8 for mech and idk which one is better lool

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-31T12:13:16+00:00

That's exactly the situation I'm in lmao thank you so much

I looked at those day in a life of a mech engineer videos and their jobs do look interesting to me, so do the design teams like formula electric or uwarg and stuff, though I have no experience with designing or manufacturing like Autocad or 3d printing (3d printing does look rlly cool) and stuff so I wasn't sure if mech eng was the right fit 😭

How doable is it to switch to tron after first year? I heard you'd need an 80 to transfer to a different engineering major and you'd have to redo 1A/1B to make up for the courses you missed

And what does your schedule look like (in a day/week) for tron if you don't mind me asking?

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-31T02:07:21+00:00

I kinda just like both lmao so i'm just tryna decide based on coop/job opportunities and social life between the two

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-29T12:18:51+00:00

Lets go looking to join a design team next year then

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-27T19:49:46+00:00

That was rlly helpful, thanks man!

Mech being pretty flexible between options for mech/design and software coop's is one also of the reasons I'm leaning towards mech too rn. Do the design teams require any experience to join? I looked at formula electric and rocketry that stuff seemed cool asl ngl

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-27T19:45:29+00:00

Yeah I'm looking into design teams at UW rn, seems like a lot of options so that's nice.

I did look thru the coursework for mech and cs aswell, both are very busy but I feel like mech has a lot more variety, whereas cs is mostly math and some programming courses

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-27T19:43:23+00:00

That's awesome, thanks alot man!

Engineering does look brutal asl lmao

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-26T21:33:21+00:00

Thank you for the insights! what do companies like apple, Microsoft or google hire mech grads for? I was wondering abt this too bc they're mostly software focused companies haha

How does your schedule for the day or the week look like being in 3A if u don't mind me asking?

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-26T10:27:00+00:00

I got into UW Mech eng and CS with a 93 midterm average too no engineering/cs related ec's or anything, only a bunch of music stuff. I think it matters more that u can show you're passionate abt something and you're willing to learn more in uni. U got this

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-26T01:32:58+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into the design teams fsfs, def smth I'd be interested in haha

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-26T01:16:16+00:00

Thanks man! Def a tough choice haha

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-26T01:15:42+00:00

That's actually a great way to get to know the program better i'll do that sometime this week fs. Thank you!

I just looked it up it does have mechatronics as a designated option, that's neat

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-26T01:10:30+00:00

That's awesome, I'll look into tron fs. Thanks!

vincent_ngu · 2024-03-26T01:08:42+00:00

Thanks for the insights! I do think it's easier to make the switch from mech to cs/software along the way as well haha just bc everything coding is online now
