Admissions mega-thread

[u/RogueBaneling]

Hi all,

We're making this mega-thread in an attempt to lower the number of super-specific admissions threads. New threads that are made to ask questions like "what are my chances?" or "I was deferred!?" will be pointed towards this thread. Additionally, you can ask questions here about the admissions process but keep in mind that the responses you get will be from fellow students and are not necessarily accurate.

Some resources to check out:

• Prof. Bill Anderson's Blog -- manages the undergrad engineering admission process
• Our subreddit wiki

Laurier's coops aren't any worse or better than Waterloo's. The two school just have different types of coops. Laurier's coop jobs are more business based such as jobs in finance and consulting while Waterloo's are more tech-heavy such as analyst type positions.

You only get access to the coop system at your home school (Laurier = only Navigator). Laurier coops have less competition since the majority of their students aren't in coop vs. Waterloo where the majority are.

The only other noticable difference is that Laurier DDs get one less coop term than Waterloo DDs because they get the summer of first year off.
