Thanks for that great write-up Tony. It was very helpful.

I actually didn't know about Mechatronics engineering. It really looks like something I'd enjoy.

good stuff.

You should think about visiting Waterloo during a weekday next term (January~April), when I'm back on campus. I could probably give you a tour, and sneak you into some lectures.

Mechatronics is interesting, but tough. Though a number of other compsci.ca members are in the program already.

Just out of curiosity, what value does being a Shad Valley participant have on a waterloo application?

www.shad.ca if you don't know what it is....but if you don't you probably can't answer my question.

If you do know, please tell!

well since none of us is directly involved in waterloo student selection, so it is clear that no definitive answers can be given. however we could definitely speculate... not sure how useful that is though.

Thanks for the offer. I'll let you know next year when I'm in grade 12. Smile

Were you at Shad this summer? If so which campus?

I was at UBC. Very Happy

I'm just thinking out loud here (or is that out-text? ).

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I could do EE with the Mechatronics option. This stuff sounds so neat. :p

Yeah i got in, but not for compsci though, I'm currently in EE, so it's not too bad either, actually the requirement were ok, not too bad at all

I'm looking to get into U of W for their Secondary Education of Sciences and Mathematics. I'm in Grade 12 now, but im staying an extra year at GCI (in cambridge) to bring up my marks. I hover around a 70%-75%.

I'm currently in grade 11, and at the present time, I think I'm interested in Computer Engineering. I'm looking at Waterloo, and it looks great. Sort of the MIT of Canada.

My question is, does anybody have any experience here? What do I need to get in?

What kind of grade are they expecting (I would suspect about 90%), what level of extra-curricular involvement? Do they expect somebody to do more then 40 community service hours? I know they issue the math contests; do the expect them to be written?

Any info would be great. Thanks in advance. Smile


Goodluck, you need high marks.

you do realize that entrance is based on mostly your grade 11 marks and midterm marks from grade 12?

What!?
I thought grade 11 marks mean absolutely nothing unless you want early acceptance (you can apply anytime, right?)? Or are you talking about early acceptance?
I still don't get how early acceptance works. I mean, what if you have all easy courses in the first semester?
