Could you suggest a good estate lawyer in town? Do they offer short consults before hiring them?

Thanks for your help. :)

Most of the people I know in AFM and also my friends want to get their CPA or CFA, but after doing some research and looking at /r/accounting posts, it looks like the average salary is still around 50-60k. So many people go crazy about getting co-op at big 4 and “exit opportunities” but complain about the shit pay? What are these “exit opportunities”? After looking at how many hours people in the accounting/finance industry work, looking at the work/life balance, and how boring some of the jobs can be, I still don’t get why people hype it up so much..

Am I missing something?

Was wondering if anyone goes to Hamilton often, and was wondering if there were good ways to get there and back on weekends?

I heard there was a greyhound bus or something but that got canceled?

That trip doesn't seem to popular on rideshare, and the bus ride is really long..

Thanks

Hello UWaterloo subreddit, I had a few questions regarding admission ; if anyone can help out a bit that would be great!

I have always been interested in computers and technology and I am aspiring to become a Software Engineer or work in the field of cybersecurity. I have explored and affirmed my interests for the career I want to pursue through extracurricular activities. I have founded two startup companies, one being a cybersecurity firm, and another non-profit organization dedicated to developing high fidelity aircraft for flight simulation use. I worked full-time this past summer as an IT Technician (currently part-time) at my city’s municipality. I explored the field of data science and data analytics via STEM Fellowship’s annual High School Big Data Challenge, and placed top 10 overall in Canada. Further affirming my interest in the field of STEM, specifically programming and cybersecurity, I’ve participated in the international CyberPatriot CyberSecurity Competition hosted by the U.S Air Force and placed top 15% of all contestants, and went on to place 3rd in Canada in later rounds. I also participated in Waterloo’s math and programming contests and placed top 25th percentile.

I’ve applied to Computer Engineering as I would like to explore and learn about hardware and low-level programming with regards to operating systems and computer architecture. My only worry is my grades at the moment, as I have a 92% average for my Semester 1 mid-terms, and I hope to get it higher by Semester 1 finals and further increase my overall average in Semester 2. Would it be a good choice to have SYDE as my alternate choice on the AIF? I’ve noticed that the career pathways after graduation seem to be similar as listed on the website. Would my AIF also help with the application significantly to compensate for slightly lower grades?

Thank you very much!

Is CP 102 still a bird course? Did anyone take it this semester?

Thanks

Currently in grade 10, and need to decide whether to take IB or not. I do of course want to get into Waterloo, probably engineering. If I do take IB my subjects will be HL: Physics, English and French and SL: Math, Chemistry and history or psychology. ( my school options are very limited) So would IB be worth it for engineering especially with these courses and no MATH HL. Thank you

What should I expect for this final exam? Any study tips?

this might be a really dumb question guys but i submitted all the sections for the aif individually (about you A, about you B, courses, math/cs) but there's no confirmation or anything that i submitted my aif as a whole... is there like a hidden submit button?

Hey cool chefs. Hope you guys are all doing well. I'm based in Chicago Illinois and this sub reddit is dope af and very encouraging and critical which I love. I recently got a.job as a cook at the new Gordon Ramsay Burgers in Chicago. We open December 17th and I invite you if any of you are Chicago based or near by to come in. I'm excited that after 8 years that I am working for this man's company and have the potential to make and serve amazing food with amazing opportunities. Ps-also posting this because alot of people don't know when it's opening but I have the official date and it's gonna fucking be crazy and Gordon himself will be there. Have a great day of cooking and I can't wait to serve you guys amazing gourmet burgers with the highest culinary quality and cooking. You all rock!!

Weird request, but I'm looking to find out what you think are the shittiest dive bars in Waterloo/Kitchener/Cambridge and why. I know Capers used to be one of them and it had quite a reputation, but that shut down. I don't really go to bars so I have no idea, but I am curious which ones are left.

Has anyone taken these BIOL 450 and BIOL 414 before, if so, were they easy/a lot of work? What was the rough breakdown of the courses (test, paper, group project etc.)?

Also, does anyone know of the easiest PHIL course at the school? By easy I mean that it consists of quizzes/tests instead of assignments and papers lol. I don't mind if there is a fair bit of readings/time to put in the course, but I'm trying to see if there is a PHIL course (without any PHIL prerequisites) out there without any essays and stuff to write (I know - that's a hard thing to ask for LOL).

Appreciate the help if anyone could answer some of these questions!

How many exams is one able to do in a day? As in what’s the maximum amount you can have to do a day before having to email about switching an exam date ? I have three exams on one day and my friend said most they can give you is two but I just want to be sure ?

Anyone noticing a drastic increase in spam callers?

Mostly 519 area codes. I am getting about 2 or 3 calls a day, and no messages left.

For many reasons back in second year I failed CS 246 once and barely passed it the next time I took it. So I didn't learn anything valuable about OOP from CS 246. I'm taking CS 350 and 370 next term and I heard both of them, especially CS 350 requires quite a bit of C coding/debugging. I'm a little scared since I've practically never had any remarkable OOP experience and now my programming skill is probably even rustier. I wonder if there's any efficient way to relearn C/C++ to help me get used to the courses next term? Any advice is appreciated : )

Can anybody send me the course syllabus or tell me the how the course is structured with assignments and quizzes, etc

I just want to know what I will be dealing with next semester thanks in advance

Hey guys so recently I found out that I got an interview for a software engineering role at Ford Motors in Oakville. I was hoping to find anything who has worked here or had an interview here.

During the interview, there is said to be a coding challenge for half an hour. Wondering what’s that’s about and how I can prepare for it. Thanks guys!

Is there a place on campus (labs or eng buildings?) where I can borrow things like meter sticks?

Hey,

So I was just researching on the university of waterloo's page and I'm confused between 3 majors: Mathematics/Financial Analysis and Risk Management, Mathematical Finance and Math/Business administration.

My main interests include finance and math, and some business too. I also saw that the levels of math in all 3 courses were different.

Also, FARM and math/business included computer science.. which I am not so sure of taking.

And also wanted to know if graduating with bachelors in math is better or graduating with bachelors in math in mathematical finance is better.

thanks in advance.

Do any public transit users have any tips? Since the greyhound bus shut down, it feels impossible to get to Toronto on weekends. Anyone have any tips? I know the go busses are possible, but they’re not direct.

It's coming up on the Dep's big day. As such, I'm pleased to announce the inaugural Dep Week! How can you participate? In anyway you see fit. Just dep the dep and tell him he's been depped on!

Dep is our good friend and reddit dot com slash r slash uwaterloo employee, u/Deputy_Dan. His big day is coming up! I hear he might be getting a 20% raise... 🙀

Depping is a ground breaking troll-form, thought to have been discovered by anthropologists working in Anatolia. It's whatever it means to you, so long as it's depping the Dep.

Troll week is coming

What caused it?

So this might be a dumb question, but I honestly have no idea how it works. Basically, I need to complete a human anatomy course before Fall 2022 as a prereq for pharmacy school. I tried to enrol in Waterloo's anatomy course, but it's only offered in the fall and they need you to be in your 3a term, so I couldn't take it.

The school I'm going to says I can take it at other institutions, so I found an anatomy course offered online during Winter 2022 at Queens. I've sent them an email but they're taking a while to reply. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with taking courses at other universities? Am I actually able to take courses at Waterloo AND Queen's at the same time? If so, does anyone have experience with how to go about registering for the course at Queen's as a current Waterloo student. I know it's pretty late in the term, but I did some bad planning on my part for whatever reason.

I appreciate any insight anyone might have.

I'm eligible because I got AZ for the first two

Any day I can think of has no appointments available no matter what site I choose.

Can anyone recommend a tax planner in KW?

Are there any bakeries in town that make a really good blueberry bagel? I’ve tried all the grocery stores brands at Zehrs and honestly none of them are super satisfying.

So today I got my offer letter, can someone tell me what should I be prepared for , what can I expect? How is the Waterloo city

So right now I am in 2nd year, co-op sequence one. I had a great GPA and a decent resume but I honestly suck at interviews. I don't have any related experience and I can't think on the spot. I get very nervous and am terrified of getting a question and freezing up.

Any suggestions from upper years?

I got food from Red Ginger on Highland tonight. A few years ago it was known as a gem on the west side that was always filled with loyal locals. Now the dining room is a storage space, and they told me that it isn’t going to open until they can be 100% sure they can open permanently.

So what local businesses and flavour have you seen struggle the most?

say you are a senior, good gpa, you need 1 more course to graduate but you fail the course twice and get into academic probation

can you graduate without passing that 1 course :)?

I'm in my 4th year majoring in law and society and minoring in crim&psych and I feel like I am physically incapable of writing my final essays this sem.. genuinely I have been looking at my blank document for 4 days without a single thought in my brain. I have no thoughts and no motivation despite the sheer weight and importance of these assignments. My GPA was good for my first 3 years so I'm kinda like...does it even matter if I falter this year?? Anyways, anyone else feeling like this right now :D what do we do

I’m a BA student with no major and I want to pursue the rest of my degree online. Is this allowed? Please let me know if I can graduate if I decide to. I know the requirements for 100 level courses and 200-300 level courses. Any help clarifying would be great. Thanks 🙂

With the new omicron variant, is it possible that we might do through another lockdown in Ontario? I really want to back in person but I'm not too sure about this new variant and the future. Next semester will be in-person but I hope that doesn't change because they might switch back to online (not too sure). I'm also living on res and I don't wanna spend two semesters in a dorm when everything is online, which would be a huge waste of money.

Any graduates of this program on here that can provide some insight into course work?

I took GG102 in the winter term, but I’m not sure if I still want to take it so I was wondering other first year courses that are easy. Thanks!
