cnb6q8v	5	t3_2qzl9h	t3_2qzl9h	HackedToaster	SE now-1B student here. Your programming experience sounds like that of most above-average people in my class. Your extracurriculars are stunning; talk about all those on your AIF and you'll easily get in. Just stay committed to them throughout the remainder of your term in high school. If you're looking for another way to spend your free time and help you when you get to SE at waterloo, I'd advise picking up a side project. It will not only teach you a lot, but it will also help you during co-op (interviews are exactly a year away for you). You're well set as far as admissions go anyway, so may as well think long-term. Marks are a weird one. Since high schools, and even individual teachers, differ so much in grading their students (ENG4U, anyone?), waterloo admissions people know to not read too deep into people's grades. Beyond a certain point, they just use AIFs to distinguish applicants. One last key point: HS grades don't matter at all once you get into university; for instance, I've heard of peeps who had >95% in high school fail their first term in university. For context, I got an early offer last year with a 97% high school average (yay, IB and grade inflation!), lacklustre extracurriculars (tutored peers, DECA, a hackers club that I ran in high school, that's pretty much it), and good software experience. Software experience included a summer job doing full-stack web dev w/ node.js, and three years as a community developer for open-source projects, writing mainly in C and Python. And while a bunch of my classmates have more programming experience than I do, this is still far more than what they expect of incoming students. Tl;dr: Keep your grades around 95 or above, remain committed to your extracurriculars, ace your AIF, and you'll easily get in. Pick a software side project if you have time.	2015-01-01T09:41:43	1B SoftEng	false	false	16

I'm stressing out and having second thoughts now that I'm starting soon.

Since you're pretty much already committed to starting soon, I'd stick with it. There are other benefits to doing the Masters that don't obviously/immediately translate to finding a job. My Masters isn't in the field I'm working in, but if I had to go back in time and choose, I would still do it.

cnbln5o	1	t3_2r1qlq	t3_2r1qlq	sievernich	The visa you would get would travelling on your own would be a B1 or travel visa which doesn't allow you to qualify for a SSN. So if you don't currently have a SSN, you won't be able to get one and thus can't earn money in the states. Even if you have a SSN, you're taking a gamble (though a lesser one). What prevents you from getting the J1? Edit: You could make it work if you get hired as a contractor in Canada, then come over as a "Business Trip". Border agents will tell you that you can't work while in the States, but there's nothing to stop you from working and getting paid to your Canadian bank account then you filing taxes in Canada later on as independent.	2015-01-01T18:45:57	null	false	false	33

cnbp00a	5	t3_2r1sjm	t3_2r1sjm	pokoleo	Talk to the attendants at the CIF. More-or-less, you should sign up for one of the classes on [this schedule](https://nike.uwaterloo.ca/Course/Search.aspx?categoryId=ae0ceabf-f367-4b3b-936a-a9d003762586). They're 10 weeks, so they're about a term. I've done the "Fitness Swimmer" course before - it's around a 5:1 student:instructor ratio. Given that the instructor is/was the assistant coach of the swim team, I'm going to sign up for it again. It beats you up, but you get built. I'll probably be doing it again in W15, since it's a kickass way of staying fit. For what you're asking for, I'd suggest the "Conditioning Passport", but it doesn't look like it's offered for W15. Your best bet is to ask the attendants, since they're either in AHS, or are involved at the college-level athletics at the school. The classes are relatively cheap ($25 for a term of Krav Maga classes), and are a decent quality. Strongly recommend discovering the well-kept secret. The [Shoe Tag Schedule](http://www.athletics.uwaterloo.ca/sports/2013/12/5/Fall_2014_Shoe_Tag_Schedule.aspx) hasn't been posted, but it's also pretty awesome. Also: the PAC has a Sauna.

cnbqhok	2	t3_2r1qlq	t3_2r1qlq	worldwise001	Even if you have an SSN already, if you don't have work authorization in the US then you are not permitted to work. You can get into a lot of trouble with immigration if this happens. So yes, you will need a visa or other work authorization to work in the US. If you have complications with the J-1 visa, then talk to your recruiter ASAP to loop him/her in and explain the situation. Start dates may be changed if there are complications with the visa. 3 weeks is probably a reasonable amount of time to get it processed if you are Canadian. It probably is not enough if you are an international student since you will need to book an interview at the US consulate in Toronto and that may have a waiting period of 2-4 weeks. As others mentioned, apply for expedited processing.	2015-01-01T21:21:25	PhD CS (CrySP/IR)	false	false	40
cnbq75z	1	t3_2k1v8q	t1_cnb5oml	worldwise001	> I heard that if you ntend to go to grad school then you should love research and your topic area. If you intend to go into a PhD, then you should love research. As a Master's student, you don't need to love research, but the ability to change topics is less available. Once you commit to one for your thesis, generally you shouldn't switch unless there are extenuating circumstances. Courses will give you an opportunity to explore possible topics (and you will need to take 4 of these), so make the most out of that for topic exploration. > I've done research before but I like coding and software development more. I fall into this bucket, and so I have some advice from what I learnt basically the hard way. Find someone who will reliably keep you in check so that you can make reasonable progress. Or find a reliable/consistent co-author who can focus more on the theoretical/reading while you work on implementation. (Or figure out the breakdown some other way). Working on both parts solo can get frustrating and demoralizing, so it is best have a research support group who is interested in working on similar things as you. Make the most out of your courses in terms of finding potential group partners/co-authors. Alternatively, talk to your supervisor early on about doing internships in the summer as a way to take a break from the degree program, to keep your industry connections, and to get ideas for your thesis. > I'm stressing out that I'll be wasting my time doing an MMath. You're only wasting your time if you don't enjoy what you are doing. At the very least it exposes you to the research process, and may open some doors to other career paths in Silicon Valley. PS: Depending on who your supervisor is, if you need ideas for projects and you are an MMath CS enrolled in or starting in W15, PM me since I need an interested project partner in IR. Don't feel obliged to take on the project, but I'm providing an option if you are strapped for ideas.	2015-01-01T21:11:47	PhD CS (CrySP/IR)	false	false	41
cnbqapt	1	t3_2k1v8q	t1_cnb5l45	worldwise001	You generally take two courses per term. The assignments are manageable; most of your time is probably going to be taken up by the course projects. The first two terms for most MMath students are devoted to just coursework, with the supervisor checking in to see if you have picked up possible ideas for a thesis. Additionally you will have to TA a course unless your supervisor agrees to "buy you out" and pay the TA salary. Your time may get sucked into this. Don't slack off on grad courses. They will seem deceptively easy, but the amount of work ramps up pretty quickly to the end of term if you do this.	2015-01-01T21:15:04	PhD CS (CrySP/IR)	false	false	42

I was able to use it between 2009-2011 - those were definitely the glory days. I remember that there were people trying to set up a server somewhere else in residence on campus, but ResNet blocked a lot of the ports required to let it work, and forced a different routing system to disable this kind of traffic (it turns out it was actually a substantial amount of internal networking).

cncf70q	2	t3_2r4l1v	t3_2r4l1v	annihilatron	if you've never sprained your ankle before, it's gonna hurt and nobody's going to really pick you up (you can try to cab to places). Call, make an appointment. As a last resort you may be sent to the hospital in case they want to check for fractures. If your recovery time is bad you may be recommended to buy an [Aircast boot](http://www.whistlerphysio.com/products/Aircast_xp_walker.jpg) which will take the weight off your ankle as you walk. Alternatively you can use crutches. I don't know if these things can be sourced at a local pharmacy or not, or you might have to go down to the hospital or a Shoppers Home Health (shoppers drug mart for wheelchairs / etc). If your recovery time is short you can just limp it off for a few days. Basically the crappy little [binding braces](http://www.athletescare.com/editor/assets/aso.jpg) or [tensor bandages](http://pad3.whstatic.com/images/thumb/b/ba/Wrap-an-Ankle-Step-3.jpg/670px-Wrap-an-Ankle-Step-3.jpg) will help with pain and swelling but don't do anything to alleviate weight on the joint or restrict joint mobility to promote healing. But they do reduce pain. [Ice will also help](http://www.bodyfoundation.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/5360db.jpg). [Keeping it elevated](http://pad2.whstatic.com/images/thumb/1/14/Treat-an-Ankle-Sprain-Step-5.jpg/670px-Treat-an-Ankle-Sprain-Step-5.jpg) will also help. --edit-- added more pictures	2015-01-02T15:03:54	TRON '12 [7 year degree!]	false	false	69

cncjttm	1	t3_2qoxj7	t1_cnajmcz	elcanadiano	It's open to Math students. MATH 128 is taken generally when someone gets between 50 and 60%. To progress to the MATH 2xx courses (if necessary), usually a 70% in MATH 128 is necessary instead of 60% in MATH 138. The difference between the two isn't quite as much as, say, MATH 138 and MATH 148. CS 116 is also sometimes taken when a student either gets 50% in CS 135 or takes CS 115 instead.	2015-01-02T17:23:06	4B CS	false	false	75
