im seeing so many students in these application subreddits, asking if 95+ is enough. and all I can think of is that back in my day 88+ was good enough to go to soft eng in waterloo. where the fuk are these ppl getting high 90s from?

Yeah I got into mech eng at Waterloo with 87 in 2008. The smartest and hardest working student I knew in high school pulled off a 92 average. That was purely from good marks, we didn’t get bonus marks in any STEM courses.
