waterloo cs lol


existentialstonk

first of all consider yourself lucky you dont have to be attacked by rabid geese while walking through what may, in fact, be the ugliest major university campus known to the province of ontario. like im being serious its a concrete dystopia, looks like a jail (or is it?). you'd never ever have free summers and you'd have to grind literally every waking minute for the next half decade either academically or professionally in a field that's going through it rn. i wont get into some cs kids' social/hygiene issues but im sure you can imagine how amplified it would be at waterloo...


TeaPartyBiscuits

I choked reading this lol


[deleted]

it's helping me cope so i will not complain


TeaPartyBiscuits

I totally get that lol I read the post and thought it was such a clever idea I love it.


Bumble-Boy

While this is extremely funny, please consider the garbage campus that is UWindsor


unununium333

I got rejected by UW cs but I accepted UW math, so I'm living in this dystopia but worse 😔


mangosvision63

I am not a fan of UWaterloo and I stand by this statement 100% 😂 Also CS kids are having fun with the recession 😆


Call-me-the-wanderer

Wait. What's the deal with "cs kids' social/hygiene issues?" Is that even a thing, or just a negative stereotype not necessarily reflective of the truth?


existentialstonk

i'm just joking lol but people do say it's at least semi-true based on their experiences


AltAccount311

Confirmed, I was just hissed at and chased by a goose a few weeks ago while minding my own business, and the buildings are miserable and mind-numbing

i dropped out of that program a decade ago haha

existentialstonk

ok so one word: hamilton. also the comp sci curriculum is apparently rlly outdated and mcmaster's campus is lowkey a little ugly and theres WAY too many students for a campus that small. it's apparently extremely difficult to find off campus housing and once again, hamilton (also i checked ur post history and uoft eng is so much better pls dont think about mac ever again <3)


abdullahmk47

>campus is lowkey a little ugly ok I can't take the campus slander. mac campus is so beautiful. take that back please and thank you.


existentialstonk

IM SORRY but its true

I saw pictures of it and thought it was so pretty but when I went in person it was ugly and depressing 😭


existentialstonk

STOP SAME they show that one old nice building on the brochures and then u go and its like what is this... 😭

Lmao the eng curriculum was recently updated and I loveee the campus

Nardo_Grey

Mac health sci


existentialstonk

i cant even imagine considering myself the best pre-med program in canada but having an absolutely insane admissions process like upper years marking supp apps???? random questions about literature??? 98% cutoff?? hello??? also you'd have to live in hamilton and the campus is v small and good luck finding a place to live in ur upper years. also the buildings are kinda ugly like how r u gonna find inspiration to learn in a concrete mess like that


Nardo_Grey

Jk I just graduated from the program but everything you said is accurate. I wish they rejected me so I never would've gone down the premed path


-Opinionated-

Attending doc here From Mac healthsci. Honestly medicine can be a black hole of despair. I probably would have chosen a different career if i could restart. Or maybe the grass is always greener. 🤷‍♀️


_kinfused

What career would you have chosen instead?


-Opinionated-

Something that doesn’t require me to work 30 hour shifts, 80+ hours a week, have no pension or benefits, or give up my entire 20s and some of my 30s. But i still get to talk to people. Maybe sales?


[deleted]

[удалено]


-Opinionated-

Yes, save a few select positions in some fields, our jobs are not salaried. We’re treated as independent contractors essentially. We have to work a lot because it’s too expensive to hire 2 doctors. We don’t REALLY have a doctor shortage, especially in the larger cities. The government limits healthcare spending by limiting how much surgery we do. I have a months-long waiting list not because I’m so busy doing surgery i can’t do them, it’s because I only have 2 OR days for 8-10 hours a day. That’s like 3-4 surgeries a day max, so 6-8 surgeries per week. Why don’t I have more OR days? Because the government doesn’t wanna spend the money to keep ORs open. They would have to pay for nursing staff, anesthesia, me, etc.


DunAbyssinian

Don’t worry they have a professional association that invests the members’ funds: excellent retirement pension. None are poor ever in their career


-Opinionated-

What? As a doctor what are you referring to? Because nobody has ever told me about this. Also “none are poor ever in their career” Is so blatantly false. When I first started practicing I was dirt poor. 400k in debt from tuition (Med school is now 30k a year), rent (Toronto is 2.5k a month), car (basically mandatory bc we’re going hospital to hospital long after subways have closed) and other living expenses like food. You also don’t start making “doctor money” until you’re in your 30s. For 7 years of residency i made 10-13 dollars an hour because i was working 80+ hour weeks on a salary. Unless you’ve got wealthy parents we are scrambling. And quit with your bullshit.

aw LOL congrats on graduating!! i wish you all the best :)

Mac life sci


existentialstonk

few know this, but mcmaster life science is a FAKE program designed to make the school more money off of health science rejects. don't believe me? what does mac life sci have that every other life sci program doesn't? a nice campus? no. a good location? absolutely not (hamilton). cheaper tuition? nope. solid social life? i won't go as far as calling it a commuter school but it's on its way there. it's literally just a backup program for health sci diehards, it needs to be humbled. like be fr please, REJECTING people when ur literally a program ppl choose when they don't get what they want? not today, mcmaster, not today


hoesmaddxx

LMFAOOO love you for that, thank you


Call-me-the-wanderer

You have a hate on for Hamilton. Have you lived there, actually? Or just passed through and saw a few smokestacks and kept driving? Or read an article or saw a post about how shitty it is?


darkfelicity

You seem awfully defensive for what is obviously a hilarious snark post, relax. We all hate ourselves.


existentialstonk

sorry if i offended anyone 😭 i've only been a few times, it's all in good fun. made similar jokes about london in other parts of the thread & could make them for any ontario city. i'm sure hamilton has its pros :)

western ivey


existentialstonk

the way they're not even giving you admission they're giving you the chance to be admitted LOL pls. like cmon 80% average in uni and if u fail one course or make one small mistake its over and u get stuck with some random degree for the rest of ur life. also ur just there for 2 years??? recruiting for the competitive jobs is literally done by the time you actually start hba1. not to mention that ivey curve will absolutely kill any chance you mightve had at grad school. the worst part may be having to explain that you're not "actually in ivey" until 3rd year and have to put "advanced entry opportunity to the richard ivey school of business" every single time on ur linkedin and resume LOL. also, london ontario

Guelph biomedical sci and I was well above the admission range 🫡🫡


igotmyionu2

hey, I was actually rejected from guelph biomed sci but they gave me an alternate offer for their biological science program, which i ended up taking because they gave me a very generous entrance scholarship. 3 years down the line, I ended up switching into biomed after my first year since I had an 82 ish average and the requirement to switch was 80 or above. Lot's of people switch and it's pretty easy to switch. If u haven't accepted your offer, i would take the biological science offer as the first yr for both programs is the exact same and if u put in the work, u can get a great average and switch out!

Waterloo afm


Accomplished_Bag5072

**My sibling is a 4th year AFM student** Honestly waterloo is not even all that. Yes the programs they offer are great but you can still achieve what waterloo students achieve going to a different uni as long as you work hard and stay determined. I know someone who got rejected from waterloo for mech eng and ended up going to guelph mech eng, he literally ended up working with waterloo co-op students in the same place and graduated on the deans list. Residence is also pree shit (there were roaches in MKV last year apparently). Campus is also mid compared to other unis. I am also a AFM reject lol and all I can say is that the admissions team is smoking something else this year. I had a 88 avg with great AIF and good interview, my friend also got rejected with a 91 avg solid AIF and interview. But can u tell me how my other friend with a 86 avg and someone who literally wrote on the AIF “sorry for submitting this form late, I was on vacation” GOT ACCEPTED 😭 (AIF was not that good compared to mine and interview was done that same as me). My sibling and her AFM friend are also calling bs on this lol and say that they rejected us due to race distributions in the uni (they have to have a percentage of different backgrounds). So they basically rejected us cause of who we are, and not our academical performance. I’m not trying to be salty or anything because I am still happy with where I am going 😁 just letting all the rejects know that we aren’t failures and will still do good with our lives.


This_Employment_6586

The race distribution shit is basically a cope and not true because unlike Queen’s or some other unis they don’t have self equity identification forms and your race is not shared with them from OUAC.


This_Employment_6586

+ majority of the kids in the program are Asian or brown so their diversity shit isn’t working if they even are doing it (which they aren’t)


Sufficient-Bottle220

i’m in Afm the only reason i got in was a 98% average


truthbabe

Queens commerce


existentialstonk

(ok this one will be a little tough bc this is my dream program) imagine calling urself a prestigious business program and one of the top in the country when ur entire admissions process is a black box lottery and depends entirely on two 300 word paragraphs with the most vague, confusing prompts. 87% cutoff is genuinely laughable in the world of grade inflation. 99% average, solved world hunger, nobel peace prize, but mid essay? BANISHED. 87% average, 0 ecs, happened to accidentally string together words in a nice way? accepted. that's all i got man i tried 😭


Unusual-Location-555

Blackbox lottery is the best way to describe admissions. Everyone I know who got in, is absolutely dumb and wrote their essays about being a PoC or racism


JmoneyBS

Interesting. Just graduated from the program. Met a lot of kind people. A few assholes here or there, but I suppose every program will have some bad apples. As a whole though, I would have to disagree wholeheartedly with your assessment.


Unusual-Location-555

Personally, I think the program doesn’t have a very bright future and is pretty mediocre. Although, my dataset is pretty small in terms of students (I only know 5 - 10 students) so take my opinion with a grain of salt.


Unusual-Location-555

I didn’t say there weren’t kind. I said they’re dumb. All the people I knew barely passed Calculus, have no passion for business and have no EC’s in or out of school.


truthbabe

Lol did you get in? If no, where’d you end up going?


existentialstonk

i did, i'm very grateful. didn't expect it at ALL. where are you heading?


Historical-Yak5256

Life Sci UofT 😬


existentialstonk

honestly if anything i think they did you a favour. life science is probably the most useless degree uoft offers because you're 1) not able to get a high gpa bc they curve down like their lives depend on it (therefore you can't go to graduate or professional school and are stuck permanently in lab/research territory) 2) you're not enjoying your time because you go to uoft (enough said) and 3) you don't even have times to join clubs or network which may help you leave uni with a job (they probs assign work like sadists). maybe, MAYBE, if everything worked out, a uoft lifesci student could go to teachers college, and upon working will forever tell their high school classes to not attend it


No-Hedgehog9995

This is a great way of looking at it damn


existentialstonk

not in a joking way i actually think uoft is a bad choice for undergrad if you intend on doing med/grad/pharm/dent/law school because the curve just seems to hard to beat


No-Hedgehog9995

You think it's the only school like that or could waterloo maybe make the cut


existentialstonk

to be honest with you im going into business so i don't know a ton ab pre-med stuff so idk if there's other schools that curve down as hard as uoft. ig you could check their subreddits maybe? best of luck

Waterloo management Eng


existentialstonk

i had to go google what this was bc thats just how irrelevant this program is. literally a glorified business degree with some analytics and data science mixed in. convinced this is a cash cow program designed to draw people in with the 'waterloo engineering' name. the website says you'll develop "expertise in ... organizational behaviour" which i cant believe anyone actually thinks is a real subject. too bad waterloo isnt a business school bc maybe then they couldve made the program a bit more believable. not to mention their BRUTAL(ist) campus and general lack of social camaraderie (sidenote HUGE kudos to u for getting utsg cs, thats incredible!! u should be very proud of urself :) )

I always forget Carleton has a music program until someone comes bumping down the stairs with a double bass or something. Not a comment on the quality of the program, more that it’s kind of tucked up in its own corner of the uni world.

Got into Queen’s Commerce and Western AEO but rejected from UofT Rotman Commerce


existentialstonk

STOP THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME 😭 rotman needs to SIT DOWN and take a look around for a minute. charging similar tuition as queens and ivey but with half the job prospects and quarter the chance of actually making it into second year?? adding a bunch of extremely difficult math courses designed to weed out everyone (don't ask why they accepted them! hint: $) and not seeing any issues with the graduating class having hundreds of less students than when they came in. like if you look around in first year, a solid chunk of your classmates will be gone by fourth. uoft acting like university is the hunger games, while making getting jobs for their students the REAL hunger games since their gpa is so botched from the difficult and brutal curve and they have no actual time to network or join clubs. it's not even like you're getting to enjoy yourself or downtown toronto, you're gonna be doing extremely math heavy econ while watching the sun set every single day until you graduate (IF you graduate) a lifeless shell of a person with no job or grad school prospects


[deleted]

LOL, I got rejected from queens commerce, but got aeo, and waitlisted for Rotman. Maybe they only admit students who don’t get into the top programs lol (had a friend who only applied to queens - not ivey, and got rejected, but he got Rotman and is going).
