Waterloo!

I know Massey is one of the prefered schools cause we take every single one of those damn contests they dish out. So if your school is paying them a large sum of money, then I assume your school is "prefered".

That, and we have an organized trip to U of Waterloo every year.

sad sad school......

prefered schools would be those that regularly place in top w/e lists of programming and math contests.

Other good ways to score additional points on the AIF (Additional Information Form) is ofcourse to score good on such contests yourself. I belive that they actually have fields to fill out with your scores, and checkmarks for contests you will be taking later that year so that they can monitor your results.

A solid reference letter is a plus.

I don't remember how detailed computer science form was, but my 6 page engineering AIF included portfolio type of entry for related things. So w/e projects (such as compsci.ca in my case) could also make you stand out.

Dude, my average was 86. Not 'low 80s' yeeshh... Evil or Very Mad

I got ~70 on the euclid though, I think that helped a bit.

And I'm going for honours computer science (co-op!! w00t), not english.

Clearly people, have some more faith in me Razz

I just proved that I can get through highschool not doing any work, and still get into the program that I wanted to. That's gonna have to stop for university though I think :p

It's hilarious. On the university of waterloo forum for people going into first year, there are people saying "Yeah, I got 115 on the euclid." I have a feeling university's not going to be so hard. Fucking wankers.

And then they're like..."oh, I got it confused...I thought it was the one out of 150..."

Yeah what, the Gauss?!

Hm... are math contests only important if your going to UW? cause I heard you put your name, and birth date on the application, and the transcript is sent, and I would think only UW cares about the math contests or w/e...

Most universities look at math contests (if you're going into math that is). It's a much better measure of skill than marks, because marking is subjective.

Dan · **Posted:** Sat Jul 10, 2004 6:01 pm

How are contests not? since it is just a look at how well u are doing for like one hour or one day of your life. While marks cover a school year. Altougth marks ushely are bised but some times that can be a good thing since the teacher can bost your mark to make it relfect your true skill.

But are you going to have unlimited bandwidth on the residence connection?

Tony · **Posted:** Fri Jul 16, 2004 7:38 pm

umm... as far as my limited understanding goes... something along the lines of 1GB / week Thinking

I'll let you know in september as soon as we excede their "limits" Laughing

Martin · **Posted:** Sun Jul 18, 2004 6:16 pm

Day one: Our logs show this student martin has already used 14GB up and down. Kick him out of the school.

I flashed the bios on my modem, now cogeco doesn't realize that I use any bandwidth...but uhh...shh...you didnt hear it from me Wink
