I still want to know how averages from the U.S. translate over to Canada. Do not come into Engineering Science unless you have a hyperbolic time machine in second year because AER201 is a fucking time vampire. Only come into this program if you wish to tr0ll with the Profs from UTIAS. Going into Waterloo Software engineering is your best choice because it's less WTFMATH than Comp. Sci afaik. Also remember though EngSci and basically all Waterloo programs are course intensive meaning you'll definitely have twice or more hours than your art (sometimes even science) friends. | ||

But I've read through this entire thread, and haven't seen a single person apply to uOttawa.  It's depressing. | ||

3.8 GPA, three easy AP classes senior year, zero extracurriculars or notable activities throughout all four years of high school. 12 volunteer hours that were required for Government class (we were supposed to have 15 but I was lazy). I did alright on my SATs (2200) and wrote a pretty good essay about Carl Sagan. I applied to a single (fairly prestigious) university well before the deadline and got my acceptance letter a few days later. Maybe it was the fact that my dad attended there with outstanding performance, maybe they really liked the essay, maybe I just got lucky. My biggest worry is that this do-nothing, 'big rewards for zero effort' attitude will carry over into college. So many kids in this thread worked their asses off to get into higher education. So far, it's been handed to me on a silver platter. Sorry if this sounds like bragging, but this thread really put things into perspective for me. | ||
