Got into The University of Waterloo
 

I was recently admitted to the University of Waterloo for Mechatronics engineering! I am incredibly happy....as I have worked all year for this. The University of Waterloo is regarded by many people as Canada's MIT - with students coming from all across the world. Davmac, who is also a JW member was also admitted to Waterloo for the same program(although a lot sooner than me, due to having a 98% avg. - which boggles my mind). He got a scholarship for $1500 which is total crap considering his avg. MY 89% avg. got me $ 0.0000 !!! YEA :D However, students usually make $50,000-60,000 during university because of CO-OP - So it's OK!

Just thought I'd let you guys know.....Any other guys here starting University next year??

Man, that's cool. If you say it's the Canadian equivalent of MIT, it's obiously and awsome school and you have quite a bright future. Congrats :!:

I have to say don't get too confident with that co-op shit until you land your first actual co-op job you probably will have to settle for working at futureshop and not in an actual building.

I know this from my brother as he is in computer engineering

Money is not that big of an issue...it's just better than getting a scholarship at a school with no CO-OP!!

Well dun mate! Sounds impressive! As ive found though, it only gets harder! :(

Yeah, Waterloo is amazing! I heard you need 90+ averages to get into their engineering courses. I dont think i'll make that, but we'll see.

nerd!!! jokes have fun eh!? i regret choosing to go to Ryerson instead of going to Laurier or Queens for business last year...sigh...

HOLY SHIT!! great news for you!!
i might not go to canada soon cause i need a 85-90 av so they say.. and i am Faaaaaaaaaaar from it... and i'm not sure if i want to work so hard in trying to get that av.. :? ...

anyway.. thats great news!! make the best use of it! :wink:

Good Stuff, i don't live to far from it, It is consider one of the tops in Canada. Always has been in the top 3 for as long as I can remember
