This is very interesting. Somehow this showed up on my feed and I genuinely liked the way you went through the process. Having gone through some of the videos, I wish we had some of this information back in 2008-2013. I'm a waterloo Computer engineering alumni, class of 2013, was an international student and now work as a Product manager.
Hey, thanks for all of this helpful information! I liked how you talked about adjustment factor and how to maximize your admission score, instead of boasting about grades like some videos on TH-cam
This was very motivating to hear. I may not have the grades now (I'm in grade 11) but I'm doing whatever I can to boost them. I know that I already have a lot of creative talents and loads of extracurricular to back me up but it's really just down to marks that I feel drags me down (I have an avg of 80 when I should get it to at least a 90).
Keep studying and I’m sure u will be able to pull up ur grades! I have a bunch of videos on studying techniques that u should check out that should hopefully help u raise ur grades :)
Please don’t let the marks discourage you...just pursue what u enjoy. Waterloo expects really high grades, but if u like engineering, there r other really good engineering universities too that u could have as backup
@@TamerShaheen thank you , yea for sure I’m not gonna let that get in between the fact I can’t do something right and I know with the right amount of hard work anything is possible if you really set you’re mind to it
I really liked your video, I'm applying to Waterloo for the September 2023 term and was just about to start my video interview,I thought of watching some tips! Thanks!
Amazing video with some really important pieces of information! By the way, I was wondering if you also applied to UW Computer Science or not. I believe that they don't have those charts or other data displayed on their website within CS acceptance. Do you know how they differ from engineering?
Hi Tamer, I want to apply to mechanical engineering at Waterloo, I have a 93% average but have only two extracurriculars that I did in grade 10 and the minimum amount of community service. Is it worth applying to Waterloo or is it unrealistic at this point?
I have amazing grade 11 marks. With 99 in Maths, 100 in both physics and chemistry. But in grade 12th my marks dropped a lot. I got 94 in maths and 84 in physics and 93 in chemistry with a total of 90.1 %. I have weak EC's and none of them are from 11th and 12th (mostly due to covid and recovery). Do you think I stand a chance. The only big achievement I have is that I qualified JEE advanced in india with an All India Rank of 24000 (even though it is just normal and I screwed that quite badly). Do you think I have a chance at mechanical engineering?
Great Video. I got into York and went to engineering. I went there because I live 2+ hrs away from the University Of Waterloo. If it was closer, I would have applied, but I'm thinking about my financial situation as well. Good job surviving lmao :)
Hello tamer, Im from Bangladesh and in my last year of college waiting for my Public exam . It was kind of my dream to apply for Waterloo under computer science (Undergraduate).Im am not much of a good student but if i try i guess i can score good in my public exam .So how do i prepare for applying here as an international student? What IELTS score I need?What should be my average / GPA for my Public exam. Great content btw much love.
Hey bro quick question. Can this apply for financial analysis and risk management program or any business program in Waterloo ? If this is the case I would like to know. Also, thanks for this informative video. It’s a pleasure to have videos like this for the new generation kids. Internet wasn’t like this back in day.
Yea, the AIF advice in the video can be applied towards F.A.R.M or other business programs too. I’m not sure if business programs consider the adjustment factor tho
Thanks for this video I learned many things. I hope I get into Waterloo next year. One question, I don't see my school in the spreadsheet of the adjustment factor. What does this mean? Once again, amazing video!
There’s a section called “All other Schools” or something like that. The factors only apply to a few schools that have considerable deflation or inflation.
This was very helpful, thank you! I’m a bit worried because my average is around 93-94, but I applied for the chemical engineering stream so I have my fingers crossed🤞🏽
Chemical engineering isn’t as competitive as the others, so u should have a good chance. I really hope u get in :) keep in mind that ur extracurriculars and the high school that u went to matter a lot too
Since nanotechnology is not as competitive as other programs do you think that it would be possible to get into the university with a 90% average and adjustment factor of 20%😭, the adjustment factor is what's scaring me the most. My extracurriculars include the Atheltic council, peer tutoring, art club and volunteering at a Youth leadership institute, and also youth leadership at YMCA.
You’ve got some solid extracurriculars, but ur adjustment factor is kinda high 😭 it’s still possible to get accepted, but try ur best to boost ur grades up a bit to account for the adjustment factor
Hey Tamer , I applied to Waterloo's programs of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering for the Fall 2021 cycle. Unfortunately, I made a typo in a question of the AIF but I amended the response in the amendment section.I think I had a good video interview and I'm an Alevel student with an average score of 95 percent. Will this hurt my chances to get in?
@@TamerShaheen AssalamoAlikum bro I’m from Pakistan doing alevels . My subjects are maths phy chem computer science . And I’m thanking of dropping computer science as I’m thinking of going towards maybe chemical or civil . So is it ok . Btw what were your subjects in a levels and grades ?
Hey Tamer, you said that AP/IB courses are not really a big factor, but wouldn’t they have lower adjustment factors because they are known for rigor and are standardized by College Board? If so, that’s a plus right? (I’m in high school and stackin APs and nervous AF)
honestly i took a bunch of aps last year and IMO, its always a plus to challenge yourself and take aps bc unis will see that you're serious about your learning. Plus it makes you stand out and you will be better prepared for any uni you go to.
Thank you for sharing this helpful information 🙏🍀🌺 I have a question : I participated in math local Olympiad Is that means I will get higher chances as international student ? How much does cs program cost ? Can I get a scholarship?
Any math competition that you did well on will help. Just make sure ur grades are high cuz it’s even more competitive for international students. For international students, tuition is pretty expensive...like $25K per year. In terms of scholarships, you should go on ur university website and see what they offer.
Do you know if UW will accept more students this year as they did last year? I heard that they accepted %125 more students last year than they did in previous years, probably because of online learning.
Can I make some changes to my AIF a couple months after applying through the ammendment option? Will it disadvantage my application and can Waterloo see the changes?
Hello! I'm currently a grade 11 student in Manitoba considering applying for computer engineering at U of Waterloo. I was wondering in which month you apply, and also how admission works if you are still completing the required courses (e.g. if admission is in April but I would be completing grade 12 physics at the time). Thank you!
I applied from Ontario, so I applied on OUAC in December then sent my application to Waterloo in February...not sure if Manitoba is different or not? If ur still completing grade 12 physics, then they will only consider your midterm mark for that course
i graduated a year ago. so why the fk was this recommended to me. and why the fk did i click it. but wow. if i was to apply to software again, i'd only have a 3% chance to get in?? that's messed up.
yo idk if ur gonna see this, but I just had a quick question. So usually throughout highschool career i could maintain a 90-92 average with like 1-2 hours of studying everyday. So, cuz of what u said, i wanna bump that shit up to a 95+ but i didn't know 100% how to do that. My only question is, do u think "# of hours of studying = your mark" or is there more to it for gr12?
I think that’s true to some extent...but there are things u can do other than studying to help ur grades go up. First, befriend students who r a year older than u and ask them for a copy of their tests...that way u can use those tests as practice when ur studying. Usually teachers don’t change the test much between years. Second, in ur school...try to rearrange ur schedule so that u have “easier” teachers teaching u.
These small hacks will help u get a couple more percent on ur overall average...but don’t replace them with studying or doing a ton practice questions.
I want to do Elec eng. Do you have any idea about carleton university? I have already got an 85 on my physics(12) and i feel like its less... what should i do? Score high in other courses to equalize it?
You should try your best to score higher in your other courses as well. I think Carleton is a good choice for engineering. But, make sure to apply to other engineering universities as well like Mac, Ryerson and even Waterloo.
My average grade is 3.43 out of 4 but I have very bad score in chemistry so am I eligible for computer engineering or not . I am international student from Nepal.
Haha there’s two lazeez places in Waterloo and they’re really close to campus...but that shouldn’t be ur deciding factor tho lol...you also kinda get tired of lazeez after a while
Bro, can i get in the university on full scholarship ? And btw how much money on average you have to pay including tuition fee, living expenses and other ? I came from a middle class family and I don't want to put a burden on them for my studies after 12th in abroad. Can i apply for student loan ? Please tell me, I'll be really grateful to you. Thanks!
my school has a 20-21 adjustment factor which is like a 4% deficit (yikes). I'm not going to take my application to UW seriously at all, more like a reach. for now, I say this to the grade 11 and 12 students at my school: godspeed, for our sake.
I’m in my last year of high school and I’m looking to study electrical engineer. About roughly, how many hours of studying does it take a day. Currently I normally study about 5 hours a day in high school and don’t mind it at all.
University is a little different than high school. In university, I tend to to study like a few hours day (3-5 hours) when there’s no exams, but when it’s exam season, I study around 10-12 hours a day. Exam season is usually 2 weeks in middle of the semester and 2 weeks at the end of the semester.
My problem is that due to pandemic my school weren't able to take any test/exam(I am in class 12 currently).I will apply for fall 22(undergrad).Can you advice me what should I do, as I haven't taken any exam in my 11-12 class?
Hmm if you wanna improve your test taking skills...one thing you can do is to find practice tests or exams online about any topic and do those under a time constraint to get used to doing exams?
For Ontario universities, Grade 11 marks might matter for early acceptances. But, for regular acceptances, Grade 11 marks don’t matter. So, just focus on getting the highest grade 12 marks u can get next year!
Hey! I was wondering if I have a good chance of getting admissions at mech eng at Waterloo I just don’t want to get my hopes up. I have a 94 average that will go up if I keep my current quad 3 marks. My extracurriculars are pretty decent good volunteering and everything very general. I also went to shad
@@TamerShaheen Hey man! Just got admitted to mech eng first round any tips to secure coop for first years? Like clubs, activities, e.t.c Thanks for the info on the channel its helped a lot throughout the process.
Hey bro, quick question. I did high school 4 years ago in another country and im applying right now. I did the prerequisites with a 96% avg but I’m concerned my grades back home are too bad (76%) avg. The grading system in my school was so hard and even the valedictorian got a avg of just 86% out of 98 students. Do you think it is worth it to explain it in the AIF? Or it’s meaningless for them. I also did 3 years mechanical eng in college with high Honors
I got in last month! How do you find engineering at Waterloo? I live in Alberta and have gotten an offer from UofA as well so I was wondering if it's worth the move? The co op does seem to be rly nice, do you like it?
I really enjoyed engineering at Waterloo (at least back when it was in person). It can def be stressful and competitive, but the co-op made it worth it. I feel when u get to experience co-op, u become more mature and u learn so much about what u want after u graduate. So, whether u choose UWaterloo or UAlberta is up to u...but I think Waterloo is worth it IF school is back in person
@@TamerShaheen okay, thanks! There is co op at UAlberta too but definitely not as good as Waterloo I'm assuming. And yesss I wish uni was back in person!
That’s a little tougher. I’m not entirely familiar with the international system, so I think ur best bet would be to call the Waterloo admissions team and ask?
I'm in grade 10 preparing myself for standing out for my application and getting high grades in grade 12, thank you very much. But I don't know what the adjustment factor is here in Alberta, or if there even is one.
Not all high schools have adjustment factors. I think it’s different for Alberta than it is in Ontario, so I’m not entirely sure how adjustment factors work there
I am not too sure if there is an adjustment factor but I'm also from Alberta and got an offer last month! Good luck, and don't stress out too much in grade 10! Enjoy life before uni gets hard haha
@@TamerShaheen hey bro i am mechanical engineering 3rd year student, i want to do ms or meng in Mechanical engineering or related field, can you make video about that, like what are the field you can study after B eng in mechanical….
I have heard this time they are accepting people in CS Co-op with grades 98-100% for all students due to the high number of applications and rejected qualified candidates as well this year (Fall 2021). Is it true?
@@TamerShaheen Ah, then it could just be them rejecting due to not enough seats available. My son with 97.5% predicted grades (CBSE) rejected from CS Co-op. And there were quite a few 97-98 average students from Canadian high schools who got rejected. This year wasn’t that great for applicants :/
@@ns9616 They weight the AIF a lot higher. It’s almost around 15 points from what some have said. So even if you have a 97 average, you still need very good extra curricular activities.
There is no right or wrong. It’s helpful to have some extracurriculars that relate to the program ur applying to. But in general, most extracurriculars are good and will help you.
Oh I see what u mean...they’ll honestly never know lol unless u say u did something incredibly outstanding like Olympic gold medalist, then they’ll check
Dude my school in our province doesn’t have requirements for architecture so i took applied mathematics instead of pre calc. Didn’t expect we’re moving out and all of the schools requires pre calc im fcked up
As he said at the start of the video, they really only look at Grade 12 marks. If you're applying for early admissions they will consider Grade 11 marks as well but other than that there's no real inclination for them to look at anything else.
Hmm that’s tough 🤔 if ur referring to universities in Canada...some options are: York, Ryerson, uOttawa, Carleton? You should also apply to the “tougher” universities like Waterloo, UofT, Queens or McMaster cuz u never know 🤷♂️
I just wanted to know will they take any tests on grade 12 subjects like you told calculus English and etc or they will just take in student by merit??
My only issue with applying is that I have a 75 in 4u physics because the teacher was a total dumbass. However, I currently have 100 in advanced functions, 95 in biology, and 97 in chemistry. Is my physics grade going to be a big weight or just a minor set back
Your other grades are good, so 4U physics might just be a minor setback. With the grades u told me, ur average is 91.75%. Ideally, u wanna bump that up to at least a 93% or 94% and u can do that by trying to get really high grades in ur other 2 courses. Also try to talk about why ur physics grade was lower than expected in ur AIF as that may help.
This is very interesting. Somehow this showed up on my feed and I genuinely liked the way you went through the process. Having gone through some of the videos, I wish we had some of this information back in 2008-2013.

University is a little different than high school. In university, I tend to to study like a few hours day (3-5 hours) when there’s no exams, but when it’s exam season, I study around 10-12 hours a day. Exam season is usually 2 weeks in middle of the semester and 2 weeks at the end of the semester.
My problem is that due to pandemic my school weren't able to take any test/exam(I am in class 12 currently).I will apply for fall 22(undergrad).Can you advice me what should I do, as I haven't taken any exam in my 11-12 class?
Hmm if you wanna improve your test taking skills...one thing you can do is to find practice tests or exams online about any topic and do those under a time constraint to get used to doing exams?
@@TamerShaheen How I am gonna apply without any 11-12 result transcripts?(*Due to pandemic my school weren't able to take any test)
Hey man quick question, I am currently in grade 11 and I was wondering if grade 11 marks matter especially with this covid thing?
For Ontario universities, Grade 11 marks might matter for early acceptances. But, for regular acceptances, Grade 11 marks don’t matter. So, just focus on getting the highest grade 12 marks u can get next year!
How much did you study a day in high school to maintain a 96 average?
Hey! I was wondering if I have a good chance of getting admissions at mech eng at Waterloo I just don’t want to get my hopes up. I have a 94 average that will go up if I keep my current quad 3 marks. My extracurriculars are pretty decent good volunteering and everything very general. I also went to shad
Yea I think you have a good chance. It also depends on the high school u went to as well. Just make sure to keep those grades up.
@@TamerShaheen Ya I should be good my highschool is not listed in the adjustment list so I shouldn’t be affected too much
@@TamerShaheen Hey man! Just got admitted to mech eng first round any tips to secure coop for first years? Like clubs, activities, e.t.c Thanks for the info on the channel its helped a lot throughout the process.
Hey bro, quick question. I did high school 4 years ago in another country and im applying right now. I did the prerequisites with a 96% avg but I’m concerned my grades back home are too bad (76%) avg. The grading system in my school was so hard and even the valedictorian got a avg of just 86% out of 98 students. Do you think it is worth it to explain it in the AIF? Or it’s meaningless for them. I also did 3 years mechanical eng in college with high Honors
I think it’s worth explaining it. You should also talk to the Waterloo admissions team since they would be able to answer ur questions better.
I got in last month! How do you find engineering at Waterloo? I live in Alberta and have gotten an offer from UofA as well so I was wondering if it's worth the move? The co op does seem to be rly nice, do you like it?
I really enjoyed engineering at Waterloo (at least back when it was in person). It can def be stressful and competitive, but the co-op made it worth it. I feel when u get to experience co-op, u become more mature and u learn so much about what u want after u graduate. So, whether u choose UWaterloo or UAlberta is up to u...but I think Waterloo is worth it IF school is back in person
@@TamerShaheen okay, thanks! There is co op at UAlberta too but definitely not as good as Waterloo I'm assuming. And yesss I wish uni was back in person!
hey did u get into waterloo? 🤔🤔🤔
How much are you looking at in terms of tuition to ? Can I see that on the website
Yea u should be able to see it on the website. For Canadians, I believe tuition for all 5 years adds up to around 60k
Dear Tamer, what if I m not from Canada,and its only 11grade in my country? I hope you will answer)
That’s a little tougher. I’m not entirely familiar with the international system, so I think ur best bet would be to call the Waterloo admissions team and ask?
@@TamerShaheen ok, thanks)
Hi just one question how many years are there for graduation and post graduation for engineering at Waterloo
Your undergrad is 5 years. But, ur post grad varies depending on what you do.
I'm in grade 10 preparing myself for standing out for my application and getting high grades in grade 12, thank you very much. But I don't know what the adjustment factor is here in Alberta, or if there even is one.
Not all high schools have adjustment factors. I think it’s different for Alberta than it is in Ontario, so I’m not entirely sure how adjustment factors work there
I am not too sure if there is an adjustment factor but I'm also from Alberta and got an offer last month! Good luck, and don't stress out too much in grade 10! Enjoy life before uni gets hard haha
Can you make some videos for masters in mechanical engineering at university of waterloo
I can try...do you have any specific questions?
@@TamerShaheen hey bro i am mechanical engineering 3rd year student, i want to do ms or meng in Mechanical engineering or related field, can you make video about that, like what are the field you can study after B eng in mechanical….
Hey, does this apply to international students pls??
I have heard this time they are accepting people in CS Co-op with grades 98-100% for all students due to the high number of applications and rejected qualified candidates as well this year (Fall 2021). Is it true?
I’m not sure if it’s true because Waterloo doesn’t release this data so I can’t tell for sure. But, I find it hard to believe it’s that high tbh
@@TamerShaheen Ah, then it could just be them rejecting due to not enough seats available. My son with 97.5% predicted grades (CBSE) rejected from CS Co-op. And there were quite a few 97-98 average students from Canadian high schools who got rejected. This year wasn’t that great for applicants :/
@@ns9616 woah i think i should be fine studying in a small college then😅 coz i am also studying in india and my predicted marks are no way above 90
@@ns9616 They weight the AIF a lot higher. It’s almost around 15 points from what some have said. So even if you have a 97 average, you still need very good extra curricular activities.
What’s the advantage of Waterloo over other colleges? Why is it so hard to get in?
co-op
Waterloo here I come 😁
Only a matter of time :)
Actually I have a question...
How does the university know that whether my extracurricular are right or wrong...
Please reply me
There is no right or wrong. It’s helpful to have some extracurriculars that relate to the program ur applying to. But in general, most extracurriculars are good and will help you.
@@TamerShaheen
I think he meant if the extracurriculars are true or fake
Oh I see what u mean...they’ll honestly never know lol unless u say u did something incredibly outstanding like Olympic gold medalist, then they’ll check
Dude my school in our province doesn’t have requirements for architecture so i took applied mathematics instead of pre calc. Didn’t expect we’re moving out and all of the schools requires pre calc im fcked up
I’m sure you can just do an extra year of school and take pre calc, right?
@@TamerShaheen If i took this course after i graduated will it affect my gpa??
Gosh I am just overwhelmed I applied but I have not yet done my interview
You can do it! Just take it easy and don’t overthink it too much :)
If I do bad in grade 9 and 10 and I do good in 11th and 12th can I get in?
As he said at the start of the video, they really only look at Grade 12 marks. If you're applying for early admissions they will consider Grade 11 marks as well but other than that there's no real inclination for them to look at anything else.
@@goosewalk7457 ok thanks
As a mechanical engineer what are the skills you learnt and knowledge u acquired iam curious to know about it...
Materials selection, solid mechanics, manufacturing processes (ex. Injection molding), heat transfer and mechanical design
Hey, did you take any waterloo contests?
Nah I didn’t. They don’t matter for engineering programs
Bro can you suggest me any Engineering university for mechanical that I can get into as a international student with 85% Grades.?
Hmm that’s tough 🤔 if ur referring to universities in Canada...some options are: York, Ryerson, uOttawa, Carleton? You should also apply to the “tougher” universities like Waterloo, UofT, Queens or McMaster cuz u never know 🤷♂️
@@TamerShaheen tnks a lot!
I just wanted to know will they take any tests on grade 12 subjects like you told calculus English and etc or they will just take in student by merit??
They don’t do additional tests…they just take ur grade 12 grades to determine if you get accepted!
That chart is outdated. This year's chart is significantly lower in terms of acceptance chance for higher avgs.
I couldn’t find the most outdated chart, so I didn’t include it in this video...but yea, it unfortunately gets harder every year 😭
@@TamerShaheen I believe it's on bishops blog
@@TamerShaheen also the newest adjustment factors are on reddit
Im sorry is there a French person here that can traduct to me the equivalent of « 95% average » please ? 😭😭
Hello! Bro if someone has 89 percent will good marks in sat help him . To get in waterloo University 🤷♂️
From what I know, Waterloo doesn’t look at SAT and ur grades matter more. But, I think u should ask the Waterloo admissions team that question.
Damn bro I literally go to grimsby high school
Haha how r u liking it there?
Rip
Bro what high school did you go to
I went to Rick Hansen Secondary School
My only issue with applying is that I have a 75 in 4u physics because the teacher was a total dumbass. However, I currently have 100 in advanced functions, 95 in biology, and 97 in chemistry. Is my physics grade going to be a big weight or just a minor set back
Your other grades are good, so 4U physics might just be a minor setback. With the grades u told me, ur average is 91.75%. Ideally, u wanna bump that up to at least a 93% or 94% and u can do that by trying to get really high grades in ur other 2 courses. Also try to talk about why ur physics grade was lower than expected in ur AIF as that may help.
@@TamerShaheen is saying that my teacher wasn’t the greatest with examples a valid reason?
@@reigndrops4090 Did you get in
Do you believe in islam?
Haha yea I do
U are from india
No I’m not indian
Bro am so dead
love you bro,pls contact me
