[fickle juniper]

J1

[dense monolith]

thx

[oblique crater]

thoughts on what I should put about my current internship on the resume, I have no quantifiable impact atm, newgrad applications are opening up sooner or later, but this is mainly concerning putting in an app for amazon

[placid dawn]

just say u became the ceo and won the monthly sexiest employee

that should do

[worn moss]

It’s been two months

U haven’t done anything impactful or worth putting?

[fluid surge]

if you have no quantifiable stuff to write atm, you could still write about what you worked on so far

any features you worked on

[untold nebula]

If you're in your schools coop program, then you'd be a full time student in that coop work term. It should say on your transcript

If you're not in an accredited coop program idk. Ive heard there's a loophole but I'm not sure. Maybe someone here knows about it

[oblique crater]

it'll be one month in 2 days for me

started in June, I can definitely talk about what I'm currently working on but none of it is fully accomplished and so I don't have hard numbers ig, but I can guesstimate potential impact

[upbeat bronze]

I used lintcode for premium questions, and tagged in the lc bot to practice

[frozen umbra]

Yes put it on, but you don’t need to put too much quantifiable/hard numbers

[fickle juniper]

that would work but it's really hard to time that

actually maybe that'd work if you can send in an old transcript? Not sure

like enrol full time -> get official transcript -> drop before deadline -> submit old transcript

[vivid fiber]

My friend did that

[fickle juniper]

I think the only risk in this case is getting a letter from ur academic advisor, you could probably get it the first time (i.e. before you drop) but if you have to revise your letter etc., and that falls after you've dropped could create issues if they notice

^ like I had to go back and forth and get multiple iterations of the letter because the lawyers weren't 100% clear with the requirements each time

[spiral prairie]

my company is hiring, its an extremely chill job, no technical questions, totally remote, no monitoring just trust, if your interested pls dm me must be a uni grad and a citizen 🙏 , tc is 70-75k just to be transparent :)))))

[placid dawn]

ban not for spam but for the pathetic TC

[tight gale]

Its not bad tbh

[untold nebula]

^

[tight gale]

Its average for Vancouver area

He just posted in the wrong server

[frozen umbra]

^^, its not even bad TC.

[fickle juniper]

TCs not an issue but why not tell more about the company

[frozen umbra]

Theyll probably tell more in the dms

[spiral prairie]

Exactly but I’ll say rn it’s a non for profit company in Alberta

Ok sorry what server should I post it in ?

[fickle juniper]

Idt it’s an issue to post here

[tight gale]

I just meant almost everyone here is a tryhard lol

[frozen umbra]

No this is the correct server... just everyone here is "150k + TC or GTFO" mentality

[fickle juniper]

But this server has a really inflated view of what we should be paid lawl

[frozen umbra]

Yeah

[fickle juniper]

If u don’t have high TC u rly gotta sell it

[spiral prairie]

I see 😅 it’s a reallly reaaallllyy chill job I just want to say for anyone who is interested like maybe the chillest job u can get in this field lol

[tight gale]

Do you have to be university grad ? My friend didnt graduate but hes competent

[spiral prairie]

Like remote from anywhere chill, no monitoring etc

[frozen umbra]

Yeah no worries, just advertising is enough ngl

[spiral prairie]

No honestly feel free to let ur friend dm me 🙂

[tight gale]

Cool I'll let him know

[tight gale]

Yea even I start to feel I make 🥜 when people post 250k+ offers lol

[frozen umbra]

the 250k + offers are either HFT, or mostly equity

[fickle juniper]

Um excuse me lawl

Oh wait nvm

[frozen umbra]

Bro, most of my offer is equity

[fickle juniper]

I read as private equity

[frozen umbra]

Its like, if the company stocks go down, my TC is cut in half

[fickle juniper]

Mbmb

[tight gale]

Meta isnt coinbase though, Its mostly safe

[fickle juniper]

But if it goes up

Honestly if their bet on the metaverse doesn’t pan out their cooked

[frozen umbra]

Yeah lmao, but each month its been going down

[fickle juniper]

Too much competition in social media

[frozen umbra]

Im not even sure its gonna pan out ngl

[fickle juniper]

Well it’s a pretty risky bet

But huge upside

Btw @frozen umbra

[tight gale]

Maybe if they bring out some futuristic SAO shit

[fickle juniper]

Do u know any good companies that are fully remote US

[frozen umbra]

I dont know any

Im the least knowledgable in anything in this field

[frozen umbra]

Thats way too far in the future, and by that time, meta probably has either abandoned or just ran out of money

[tight gale]

Maybe you will be the one to crack it

[fickle juniper]

Does Meta have remote new grad roles in US?

Cuz it seems like they do in Canada

[frozen umbra]

yeah they do

[fluid surge]

i bought a few FB shares in 2018 for ~ $170 and it doubled at one point. havent sold a single share

💎 🤝

[tawny zephyr]

can I have 1 share

🥺

[worn vortex]

any international students get their pgwp yet?

[oblique crater]

when did you graduate?

[worn vortex]

In like end of may

[oblique crater]

yeah you'll be waiting a bit

processing times are fucked rn

[worn vortex]

fuuck, implied status only lasts till september

[oblique crater]

as long as you applied for it you're allowed to work as if you already have the permit

all you need to do is to apply before your study permit's expiration date

[worn vortex]

Ahh i see

[storm stream]

Does anyone know how taxes work if you work in USA as a Canadian?

[fickle juniper]

There’s a treaty so ur not double taxed

But understanding/applying the treaty requires a tax specialist

[storm stream]

Just income tax for now... like which govt finesses my paycheck?

[frozen umbra]

Uhhh if your in America most of the year, you apply to be a non-resident

So you pay America tax

Else you’ll be partial resident so it gets complicated :>

[fickle juniper]

Idt u apply, its about how much of the yr u spent in which country

Iirc

And also like citizenship

[frozen umbra]

It’s something to do with you have to fill out some form, but I haven’t done my taxes yet in America

[fluid surge]

first, you need to determine if you're a canadian resident for that tax year. and here is the criteria to determine your status:

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/information-been-moved/determining-your-residency-status.html

if candian resident -> need to file canadian taxes

[fickle juniper]

This was what I was referring to:
“If you did not have significant residential ties with Canada and you stayed in Canada for less than 183 days in the tax year, you may be considered a non-resident of Canada”

[fickle juniper]

U still have to file but as a non-resident I’m pretty sure

You’ll just pay a higher proportion to US

[vivid walrus]

well i got the approval (out of country rn) and it took them 10 days..

wonder if processing times are different by nationality?

[worn vortex]

Like you got the actual pgwp or just the letter saying you can work till you get it?

[vivid walrus]

I got the correspondence letter saying when i arrive in canada they'll review and give me my pgwp

[steel escarp]

u can leave canada while in process of applying for pgwp?

[vivid walrus]

i left canada before applying for pgwp, and applied for "apply for pgwp outside of canada" instead of the other options

i still have my study permit alive tho

[frozen umbra]

1 more week in canada

[oblique crater]

Kanada brain drain

[frozen umbra]

Not brain drain if me dumb

[steel escarp]

So will they send it to ur canadian address or u pick it up in the airport?

[vivid walrus]

In the airport 👍

[eternal fossil]

got an interview at capgemini anyone done that before?

[tight gale]

Goodluck work on lp stories

[eternal fossil]

thanks im gonna be hit with the 4x60 shit

[frozen umbra]

you mean, your gonna kill the 4x60 shit

[gloomy nymph]

Nah, that would be me

[frozen umbra]

You already killed it

[steel escarp]

Dang how do u guys get amazon industry oa?

Recruiter reach out?

[fickle juniper]

I’m guessing just apply to sde1 positions, there are so many for Van

Pretty sure the interviews are sometimes team dependent tho, like I had a friend who had sys design rounds

[eternal fossil]

one of them was a recruiter reach out but no reply but i did just randomly apply for the AWS one

and that kicked off for me

[steel escarp]

Dang if u fail industry will u still be considered for ng?

[eternal fossil]

yeah separate pipeline

i can still apply for ng

[steel escarp]

Nicu

[south rose]

hey Canadians, anyone know how i can get a state drivers license and state id card? can i transfer my canadian license?

[steel escarp]

Imma spam applying amazon this weekend

[fickle juniper]

I’m guessing that varies wildly by state

[south rose]

has anyone done it/

[frozen umbra]

Depends on the state

my agent sent me a huge ass form for changing my Ontario licence to a cali one

[novel dome]

Anyone apply to amzn intern yet?

[frozen umbra]

I mean the leadership has been gaslighting the employees for some time

[storm stream]

Their stock has gone down to shit... shame

[frozen umbra]

it do be like that

[dark portal]

Lol and i read somewhere that meta might rescind offers

[frozen umbra]

Post the link

The only thing I’ve heard is that they are delaying intern return offers.

[fickle juniper]

at this point I wouldn't be surprised

[dark portal]

Can't find it

But it's there lol

[dark portal]

Ye. Lowkey though, I think that'll allow quite a few companies to survive

We might just be back to our previous hot market as soon as the economy start picking up again

[fickle juniper]

Actually according to a friend of a friend this is true

Like winter 22 had their 23 offers rescinded

[dark portal]

Gah damn

Looks like my plan to graduate in 2024 doesn't seem so bad now lol

[fickle juniper]

Meta pretty much not an option for 23 grads I feel

[dark portal]

Yeeeah

This is exactly why my plan for new grad roles is to sign a bunch of offers, and take the one that I like the most lol

[fickle juniper]

No guarantee it'll be better for 2024 cycle lol

Imo the best thing is to get a really good offer asap at this point

Itll probably not return to 2022 levels of booming any time soon

[dark portal]

Probably yeah

Fuuuck should've been born a bit earlier

[somber locust]

for ng or interns?

[dark portal]

Ng pretty sure

[somber locust]

rip

[spiral prairie]

bumping this one more time if anyone interested !!!

[frozen umbra]

Ok, for the 2023 season maybe. I know they’re delaying return ft offers. So some verbal winter 22 return offers might have been stuck in limbo

[fickle juniper]

Nope winter 22 return ft offers rescinded

[frozen umbra]

Damn, must suck as a intern

Tho I’m almost sure the GE didn’t get rescinded

[fluid surge]

i hate the recession

gimme coinbase

[craggy moth]

For Amazon US intern apps do we click we need a J-1 visa or a TN visa?

[fickle juniper]

J1

TN is new grad

[craggy moth]

👍

[fickle juniper]

U should definitely apply to Coinbase, I think it’ll work out really well for ya

[dark portal]

Got drunk at work... not again

[worn moss]

yo ive kinda just been given ig my "big project/s" and I get to recommend the tech stack

shits finally back

[placid dawn]

still nada in SK

[dark portal]

Fellas, I was just thinking about the global political situation right now, and I came to the realization that these next 6 months - 1 year is all we have left until shit completely hits the fan. Enjoy it while you still can boys

Maybe we'll get those 300k - 400k salaries after we survive the next Great Depression

[untold nebula]

?

[dark portal]

Global food shortage

And China's literally imploding from within

[storm stream]

Whats happening in china

[dark portal]

So, they went under a full scale lockdown for 2 months, and on top of that: interprovincial trade slowed down, heavier police force in the streets, and I think evergrande defaulted on their loans

Oh, and they're having a bad harvest this year too. And the war in Ukraine is preventing food shipments. On top of that, they're saying that there's a bad harvest in Canada and the US this year too, and pretty much the entire third world has halted any and all exports of grain and fertilizer

[placid dawn]

lol bro

easy on the weed

usa gonna print more money and then we all good

600k grad offers for everyone

[gloomy nymph]

Half of Ottawa went back to the Stone Age with that Rogers outage

is home internet back?

[fickle juniper]

Stop reading the news

[dark portal]

Lololololol $500 and $1000 bill is gonna be back

[dark portal]

Yeah lol, it's depressing

[oblique crater]

western canada has been rainy as shit this summer crops are gonna be fine here

but the food shortage is mainly going to affect 3rd world countries first, china is doing okay still

water is long term and canada is in a prime position atm

[worldly ridge]

the real food shortage is when climate change affects us for water/food all in in the decade(s) to come

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

rest in piece to third world countries

[prisma garnet]

Hmmm

To think optimistically

It solves (most) world hunger problem

[prisma garnet]

They have much more problem than just that honestly

So don't worry they'll probably survive

[dark portal]

Yup. I think we're going to see mass starvation and mass death in the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, and Africa.

As it is, Europe is becoming ever more nationalistic. So, I don't think they're going to be accepting climate refugees

[dark portal]

Yup. I just outlined the problems off the top of my head. I think China is actively imploding within right now

And I think an invasion of Taiwan by China is inevitable

[prisma garnet]

I think so too

[worldly ridge]

SEA low key sinking too , especially Indonesia lmfao

[dark portal]

Damn, well boys... I guess this is it

[worldly ridge]

Theres a movie about how countires treating climate refuges poorly and theres alot of connotations about like climate change stuff, but i forgot what its called

[dark portal]

These high TC's and the global order of peace was good while it lasted

[worldly ridge]

but its in a world where no one can give birth

[worldly ridge]

💀 TC wont last us through retirement

imma be killed by a tornado i stg

when im 70

[dark portal]

Yeah

I honestly think we'll see the global population be less than what it currently is, by the end of this century

Probably 5 - 6 billion

oo I remember the movie now, Children of Men

[thick sinew]

ah okay

the job description is pretty bleak tho

[steel escarp]

U can just write working on x team

@gloomy nymph if u find name of it lmk

I want to visit quebec to eat real crepe anyway

killing 2 birds with 1 stone

[placid dawn]

should interns apply

[dark portal]

honestly, do you guys wanna know what's better than working at big tech? working at one of those startup unicorns (coinbase, affirm, etc) that let you work completely remote. That's my goal now. I want to get into one of those companies as a new grad (if they're even around by the time i graduate lol)

[steel escarp]

I think its for 2022

[steel escarp]

too much risk in the recession lol

u can get laid off anytime cuz of the economy

[craggy moth]

doesnt remote get boring quick

[dark portal]

yeaaah but the whole point of remote is flexibility. I want to have a very solid life after working every single day

If you honestly think about it, going into the office from 9 - 5 is a bit too much, and you spend time outside of your 9 - 5 job (getting ready, beating the commute, settling in, being stuck in traffic on the way back, and not having enough time to enjoy things outside of work during weekdays)

lol with remote, you can get up at 8 40, and finish at 5:01 lol

[craggy moth]

I still think its better than being trapped at home for 8+ hours

And if you find a place close to your work, you can reduce all of that

[dark portal]

not really, you can always go into the office

[vivid fiber]

U don't have to work the full 8hrs tho?

Also u don't have to work at home

U can work at a park, a coffee shop, or etc

[dark portal]

right... but what if your workplace is in downtown toronto or downtown sf... the apartments there (decent ones) run for 2.5k+ / month, and taxes are up the ass too, lol... let's not mention the general high COL too

[dark portal]

exactly

@vivid fiber 1000%

[steel escarp]

U don't even have to work 🤡

you can pretend that u work

[dark portal]

lmaoooo

@steel escarp so. how many PR's have you merged into IBM's main branch so far?

[steel escarp]

[placid dawn]

[placid dawn]

[steel escarp]

do u email her about the schedule?

cuz someone else will do it tho

not her

[placid dawn]

yea on tuesday

[dark portal]

maybe not... check the status of your application on ibm's job portal

[steel escarp]

she can't do anything about that

[placid dawn]

lmc

[vivid fiber]

Bruh I've only merged like 8~10

[dark portal]

hey @placid dawn would you be excited to have ibm on your resume

[steel escarp]

[dark portal]

[vivid fiber]

[placid dawn]

fuk yes

[vivid fiber]

Wen did u?

[steel escarp]

[steel escarp]

may 2nd lol

[dark portal]

stfu, i think you're cute jeff bezos

[steel escarp]

but i bet ur stuff is way harder than mine

[vivid fiber]

Nah

I doubt it

[dark portal]

mines is frontend work... for some reason, i have a feeling i'm doing shit... but all the senior engineers keep telling me they're very happy with my progress. The main senior engineer even wants me back ft

[vivid fiber]

Most big tech companies probably have similar levels of complexity imo

[steel escarp]

surprisingly ibm tech stacks are not that old as ppl said

[vivid fiber]

Ya ppl be hating

It's very team based afaik

[dark portal]

they're really not lol... and alot of teams are adopting newer languages (go and rust)

[vivid fiber]

So if u got a good team ur golden

[steel escarp]

lol i heard we have some budget issues

not sure if its right

[dark portal]

no

[steel escarp]

take me to snap pls

but i cant do lc

[dark portal]

i talked to one of the directors in the markham lab (biggest one in Canada), and he said that we're not planning any layoffs. We might stop hiring, but we're not laying anyone off

[vivid fiber]

That's one of the most important reqs unfortunately 😕

[dark portal]

lol is it too late to lc at this point?

[steel escarp]

nono we dont lay off 100% this year

but if the budget goes boom then they dont take return interns

[dark portal]

exactly

[steel escarp]

so current ft employees are safe

not us

[vivid fiber]

Never 2 l8 to lc

No lc no lif

[dark portal]

but tbh man, i think with ibm on our resume, we should be able to find something... ya know

[vivid fiber]

Altho I haven't opened lc in 2 weeks

[steel escarp]

damn I did like 10 lc for the past few months

afaik 10 is plural

🤣

[dark portal]

mcdonald is more exclusive than banana

🤣

[vivid fiber]

What does wage cuck even mean?

[dark portal]

@placid dawn just stick to your window cleaning business and avoid the wage cuck ratrace

[dark portal]

idk lol

people just use that work so i use it too tbh

[vivid fiber]

Does it mean having a fetish for when someone else gets paid and u don't

[steel escarp]

@vivid fiber did snap tell u about return offer yet?

[dark portal]

i think that mine

[placid dawn]

[dark portal]

i'm actually gonna look at up rn lol

[vivid fiber]

I'm meeting expectations

So idk 🤷‍♂️

[steel escarp]

you have performance review?

[vivid fiber]

Damn that's kinda rude

[vivid fiber]

It was like a mid-internship checkup

[steel escarp]

yoo talk about reviews did u get the email about perf review at ibm?

like twice a year

[steel escarp]

thats pretty nice

[dark portal]

it doesnt apply to interns

[steel escarp]

i'm curious how im doing rn

[steel escarp]

really? did u ask them>

[dark portal]

btw, holy shit are people weird. i just looked up what a cuck is, and wooooow

[vivid fiber]

Ask ur manager

[dark portal]

my manager told me

[vivid fiber]

Don't kink shame 😡

[steel escarp]

oh i think he submitted request for me to work pt in fall

[vivid fiber]

Toronto

[vivid fiber]

That's good then

[dark portal]

[steel escarp]

so i think worst case i'm prob slightly below meeting expectation

[dark portal]

he hasn't done that for me lol

[steel escarp]

u should ask him lol

[dark portal]

i should, yeah

[vivid fiber]

If they want u to continue working thats prob a good thing lol.

[steel escarp]

[steel escarp]

intern is w/e

snap ng is like 200k no?

[vivid fiber]

200k cad

[dark portal]

tbh man, i don't want to come off as annoying to my manager though @steel escarp , because i already asked him about the on-call position when i first started in early may

[steel escarp]

even amazon industry hire cap at 190 i think

[steel escarp]

don't just hint him

be like ye u know just talked to some of other interns and they told me that bla bla

it'd be great if yada yada

[dark portal]

[tawny zephyr]

my mom fault always so strict

[dark portal]

dude i'm brown so... yeah

[placid dawn]

now my sis gets bad grades they dont even care

first child struggles

[dark portal]

i honestly feel as if the social skills that you learn in hs matter so much more than whether or not you get into waterloo or u of t for cs / software eng

[dark portal]

same lol... i'm the first child too

and the fuckery that my younger brother does in elementary school would've resulted in me getting my ass handed to me... but he doesn't even get told to stop lmao

[placid dawn]

imagine having social skills + waterloo

techlead incoming

[dark portal]

[placid dawn]

everyone in uni i talk to is a depressed bich

[dark portal]

i'd pick an exceptional high school experience over waterloo any fucking day of the week

[dark portal]

You don't have to party if you dont want to

[tawny zephyr]

[dark portal]

it's ultimately up to you, but it can provide you with a nice overall experience, and you'll meet some really cool guys (there's some assholes at the same time too, just like with any other place)

[steel escarp]

Sadge

[tawny zephyr]

tbh I wouldnt drink even if I was legal age

u spend money to kill urself overtime

[steel escarp]

Once in a while then drinking is fun tho

[tawny zephyr]

rather spend that on some electronic I dont need

[tawny zephyr]

yeah I cant confirm that

as u can tell by now

I am not a cool hser

🤐

[steel escarp]

Ye i like the vibe of drinking while coding in the weekend

[dark portal]

that's right baby

close her down

[spring wren]

do u guys think IBM is enough to only apply to FAANG level or should i still apply for big companies in canada

[fickle juniper]

Literally any company is enough to apply to FAANG lol

No need to self screen urself out

[tawny zephyr]

its hella RNG from what I have seen

[spring wren]

i did apply b4 but all 👻 but that was before i had ibm

[timid tartan]

….

Damn this guy keeps on bullying a jobless person

Life is tough

[steel escarp]

Said a current circle incoming cb google

And got greylock as well

[timid tartan]

…

Greylock means nothing….

It’s not like I’ll get interviews after the techfair 🤡

[steel escarp]

U will get stripe 🤣

But since when u spam the clown icon

[placid dawn]

does bloomberg ask dp

[frozen umbra]

uhhhh if you get unlucky yeah

T-4 days before landing in cali

[spring wren]

can u bring me

[frozen umbra]

nope

[worn moss]

Do olympiads school

Prolly worth

[placid dawn]

dp kiccking my ass boy

[tawny zephyr]

probs costs a shit ton of money

[worn moss]

It is but worth every every penny

Wish I did it

[tawny zephyr]

how much is it?

and yk a specific one?

or just generic olympiad school

[worn moss]

Dk

[worn moss]

It’s literally called olympiads school search it up

[tawny zephyr]

alr

dang

[frozen umbra]

? Why

Seems like a waste of money imo

I’m almost certain you can find free classes for algorithms and learn if you want

[worn moss]

They work with Waterloo profs and IOI’s and IMO’s their goal isn’t to make u smart or smthg but instead prepare u for the ccc, usaco, usamo etc. and everyone Ik who went there got atleast hr

So it’s basically an expensive ticket to a good uni + mastering lc

[frozen umbra]

Hr?

Anyways, as I said, seems like a waste. All it’s preparing you for is to be able to be a competitive coder. If that’s what you want to do, then spend money, else if you already have internship experience, you shouldn’t even need to worry about this and just find a free course to learn data structures and algorithms. Especially since your a highschooler

[worn moss]

good competitive coder = free uni admissions anywhere

And hr is honour role

[frozen umbra]

And having highschool internships related to cs = free uni admissions

If you have no internship experience + you only want to go to loo for some reason, then sure I can see you buying this as a desperate highschooler.

But personally, it doesn’t matter what school you go to. You can find just as good internships anywhere else

So this course just seems waste

Use that 25 bucks on some drinks for yourself and enjoy your life, rather than grinding this out

[prisma garnet]

Damn you guys are cracked

I never heard of anyonr do intern before uni

[worn moss]

Lol

Bro

No

It’s way too common now to have internships before uni

[prisma garnet]

Wtf

[oblique crater]

not really

[worn moss]

How old r u

[oblique crater]

depends on how you define common but the % of uni students with internships is much less than 50% so if common is half or more then even university internships aren’t common

[worn moss]

IBM Markham gets 50 high schoolers every year, RBC 20, Nokia 20, sunnbrook 30

[frozen umbra]

… there’s no fucking way it’s common as a highschool

[oblique crater]

21

[worn moss]

That’s just off the top of my head

[oblique crater]

lol that’s literally 120 spots for all of Canada

more prestigious than harvard % wise

[worn moss]

Still uw se is literally 110 ppl and yea I’m only saying the popular ones I remember

[oblique crater]

I know that’s not all but I hope you get my point

[frozen umbra]

There’s like 300 slots for ece, 110 for se, 200-300 slots for cs…

There’s no way more than 50% of these kids have internships in highschool

This is just Waterloo

There’s Uoft + ubc, which have probably as many slots

[worn moss]

yes way lol and count CFM, CS/BBA too

[oblique crater]

uoft and ubc probably have more

[frozen umbra]

You can’t tell me that’s common that they have internships

[worn moss]

literally every1 ik who got into uw cs this year had some sort of work experience and most have proper soft dev work experience

[frozen umbra]

? And how many do you know

[worn moss]

There’s a whole server around 100 ppl who r in Canadian hs grinding internships and stuff like that

[frozen umbra]

That’s like saying I know 20 people in my cohort going to meta, and meta it’s super common an ece student will go to meta this year

100 people vs how many actualy grade 12s that are applying

[worn moss]

Ik atleast 30 ppl going into uw CS this year

Acc now that I think of it there are some with no experience but they’re either math geniuses(CMO) or coding geniuses(CCO)

[frozen umbra]

Sigh, whatever. If your tunnel visioning on this sure.

[worn moss]

@frozen umbra this person got rejected from uw se and cs btw

And I mean I have 4 internships and got rejected from uw cs too

[oblique crater]

if you think HS internships are common you're surrounding yourself with the right people lol

[frozen umbra]

Literally, university admissions are rng now

[oblique crater]

but your perspective needs to widen beyond this echo chamber of hs cs tryhards to truly understand how uncommon it is

[worn moss]

Not common, but common for uw admits

[frozen umbra]

🤦

[tawny zephyr]

just backread and yeah HS internships are pretty common for the people that know they wanna do cs at least

[worn moss]

Bro it’s been 5 years for u I don’t think u realize how hard it’s gotten

If u don’t do internships in hs and ur applying for CS ur fucked

[tawny zephyr]

uni admissions have gotten so much harder past 5 years

past 2 years in specific

[frozen umbra]

Because Covid inflated everyone’s averages

So it’s gonna be super rng

[worn moss]

Bro lmao not even just that

[tawny zephyr]

covid did yeah but its not just that

people gotten sweatier in general

everyone wants that top uni

something like york which you need like mid to high 80s to get into they admit people with low 90s

same thing with ryerson / tmu

[worn moss]

Every1 has 97+ u can have 100s and still not get in that’s y EC’s matter a shit ton and every1 is out for them(internships, competitive math/programming etc) that’s y they’re more common now

[tawny zephyr]

yea

[worn moss]

York had a 90 cutoff this year and tmu was 93

[tawny zephyr]

yeah exactly

my friend with a 91 got rejected from tmu and she was surprised cuz ryerson usually has a 90 cutoff

[frozen umbra]

🤦

[worn moss]

back at his time a 90 could u get into uw

[tawny zephyr]

fr 💀

u got rejected with a 97

and insane ecs

lmao acc crazy

[worn moss]

no joke u can look at the admission spreadsheets like it was somewhat common for ppl to get in with low 90s in 2018-2019

[worn moss]

bro also im not the most insane person that got rejected like i mean just look at hl lmao

guy literally did the most

[tawny zephyr]

yeah i am surprised he got rejected too

what was his avg

98 right?

[frozen umbra]

Do you know if your seniors did well in uw

[tawny zephyr]

I feel uw just calls bs on ur app after they see how much u done
