To all of you current and prospective students - I started 1st year in 2007, holy crap that's a long time ago. Whichever discipline, stream, program you choose - Waterloo Engineering will prepare you for anything. Some of my classmates are startup founders, some have gone to the traditional engineering path - many are managers/associates/partners, others are doing something completely different. I'm working full-time and studying for an MBA program part time and 3B mech was comparable. Be prepared to have your mind completely blown, humbled, but ultimately grow and become someone you will be proud of. I hope you choose this school, I'll do it all over again even knowing how hard the road was.
could you review Uwaterloo for me? I from third-country no talk about this University at all. but I had found out this University is very reputation on engineer about science. SRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH
Great question! It is indirectly - the Software Engineering program is actually jointly part of our Electrical and Computer Engineering department (covered in the video here) and the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science (part of the Faculty of Math).
When applying for an undergrad program, does UW mainly look for the students' gpa in shs? Also, does club position in shs matter to be admitted in UW? By the way, Im not a canadian citizen so I'll be enrolling as an international student.
Hi there! You can read more about our admissions averages on our webpage here, uwaterloo.ca/engineering/future-undergraduate-students/application-process/admission-averages but grades are not the only defining factor in getting admitted. Each engineering student when applying also has to fill out an AIF (Admissions Information Form) where you can highlight any extracurricular activities, job experience or achievements - really let your personality shine! Here are some more details about international admissions uwaterloo.ca/engineering/future-undergraduate-students/application-process/international-secondary-school-applicants
I'm not sure about engineering, I don't believe it does. I've met someone in the science faculty doing something like that though, so you could look into that.
@@ts241 What do you mean by Cpl? Is there actually has pilot course to choose form? And what are the requirements to get into the university of Waterloo?
They do! There are aviation programs in the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Environment, you can find more information online here: uwaterloo.ca/aviation/
Reign Drops be part of clubs and/or sports teams. And have a commanding role such as team captain or president of a club. That will definitely help. Also brah in your AIF.
@@danielm.9552 does working two jobs ar 17 help? I'm soooo curious and have endless questions, on top of anxiety of expectations and connecting to people
Brandon Donovan at 17. It would only help you prepare financially for the tuition. Just put your grades first and add extra curricular activities in your AIF when applying
@@brandondonovan8402 having a job helps :) the thing that would demonstrate to our admissions team would be that you can time-manage effectively and that you can handle the responsibility of a job. Demonstrating employability is an asset and you'd be surprised how many students don't have a job during high school. As an added benefit, it helps to have something to put on your resume when looking for co-op jobs too! If you still have questions, we're hosting some upcoming admissions webinars you might find helpful: uwaterloo.ca/engineering/admissions-tips-webinar
