Hey man, I currently applied to waterloo as an international student hoping to receive an offer soon. Your videos are really informative and help me out!
Hey man, thank you so much for this video. I'm heading into the 3rd cycle and so far I've only had one interview which I unfortunately didn't get. I barely have any coding experience since I didn't really know what I was going to do while I was in high school, and watching this video really inspired me to start grinding and learn how to program. I was just wondering if you have any tips for a beginner like me on how and where I should learn how to code Python? I want to work on many side projects but I found myself to have fallen into a loop where I keep jumping back and forth from tutorial sites and videos and I can't seem to make any meaningful progress. I just don't know where to start, and I was wondering if you could provide any advice to help me just take that first step? Anyways, i really valued this video and sorry for this lengthy comment haha
This happened to me too! I think the easiest way to start is getting a feel for the syntax. Lets say you know C++, go through each thing you know in C++ and say 'how do I write this in Python'. Its essentially starting by taking all your knowledge in one language and just transferring it to the other one. Then, come up with a project you want to do. Lets say web scraping (a great one for python). Google some technologies you may need to use (You'll probably see pip packages like 'requests', 'BeautifulSoup', ...) and then just start building. As you go, you'll need to look up tutorials but on SPECIFIC THINGS. Thats the trick! You arent watching a tutorial and building the same project as them, you're simply using tutorials to learn about specific things you need to get your project done! This ended up being more advice then I was planning to give haha but please give it a shot and let me know how it works out. Also sorry for the late reply!
I just never understood why schools don't prepare you for exactly the thing they say they're going to prepare you for. Everything I learned that a Comp Sci curriculum teaches in any school right now -- 90% of it is garbage. From resume building with career services to calculus. Won't need any of it. I re-learn everything based on the success and failures of our fellow youtubers/programmers.
Hello Jason, I am a highschool student that wants to attend Waterloo. I also want to join a competition called CCC(Canadian Computing Competition). I am a beginner at programming(Python), watched many tutorials but I am having a hard time getting the past problems of the competition. The tutorials dedicated to the CCC are not detailed enough for me, so if you would make a tutorial video of solving past problems of CCC on Python. It would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I’m applying to Waterloo for fall 2021 but I heard they over accepted by like 225% last year. I’m afraid that will hurt my chances of getting an internship if get accepted :(
Ya I heard that as well, but that won't really effect you actually. Because most of those students are online that is why they were able to early accept. ;D
All good points. But for cs, youd be shocked at how many jobs are posted every term. On top of the fact that CS people pick different streams, I think you'll be fine. If you find that it _does_ change the dynamic, Ill make a video to help :)
@@JasonGoodison Hi tech inturn I had another question about Waterloo, what do you think about Waterloo's computational Mathematics stream from applied math
Nice content. I have applied to uwaterloo math department in fall 2021. Waiting for my result😅BTW as a math department student what can I learn before joining uwaterloo to build my resume?
I'd say learn python. And once you have that down learn backend development with Python (flask of Django or something). If you just want to get a foot up on your classes, learn the hell out of recursion
No you wouldnt be able to finish in just 2 years. Waterloo will probably not accept many of the courses you've taken as a transfer credit. You'd probably have to do all or most of the 4 years. Although, I dont speak for them since I dont work there. Maybe you can call administrations office and find out?
@@JasonGoodison alright thank very much. One more thing. I am interested in the software engineering program, but I'm scared that I may not be successful in it because of it's difficulty. What do you think about programs closer to software engineering that much coding isn't involved. Like electrical and computer engineering and mechatronics engineering. Will I find jobs easily with these problems and do they have co-op placements at big tech companies too?
Hey thanks for replying so fast! I have so many questions to ask but don’t know where to dig my hole can you do a detailed video on the same please! Else can u answer these questions: Fee structure for Cs masters How to find cheap housing Job placement rate for a master degree
Nice video, you inspire me a lot I also want to apply for CS at waterloo hopefully I get in :D
Glad to hear it! Let me know how it goes
Thanks for the info man...
It helped a lot...
Informative video...
Subscribed😊😊
Glad it helped
@@JasonGoodison yea!!
@@JasonGoodison love from India❤
Appreciate you making these videos!!
Thanks!

did you get the offer!?
If you didn't put that red circle I would have gotten scared too lol
Didn't want to cause any heart attacks 😂
Thank you for the video! Your content is great :D
yessir dope vids keep going

Interesting idea. Thanks for sharing it with me. Ill look into what currently exists and see if I can provide some more value
Nice video bro . Make more waterloo videos. How did you get your first internship!!! Make a video on this
I have videos on this!
Thanks for everything is really good to follow your videos

Can I get into Waterloo with a two years diploma from a college and finish in two years?
No you wouldnt be able to finish in just 2 years. Waterloo will probably not accept many of the courses you've taken as a transfer credit. You'd probably have to do all or most of the 4 years.
Although, I dont speak for them since I dont work there. Maybe you can call administrations office and find out?
@@JasonGoodison Yeah, sure they won't accept most of my transfer credits because they want my money. I'm an international student by the way
@@giftfolique464 You may be able to argue that some of your courses should count as transfer credits then

@@giftfolique464 First get into any of them. I suggest management engineering.
Does cs masters have coop program?
Yes!
Hey thanks for replying so fast!
I have so many questions to ask but don’t know where to dig my hole can you do a detailed video on the same please!
Else can u answer these questions:
Fee structure for Cs masters
How to find cheap housing
Job placement rate for a master degree
great video!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you

So muchhhhhhhhhhh
