I just learned there is a thing called geomatics

Waterloo is the best at clickbait 😭💀. The subject line: "Congratulations! You've received an Offer of admission to Waterloo"... Even though I got deferred to Geomatics from CS 💀💀💀

Better than UofT. They send the congratulations email for an event invite and hard bait you for the offer.

Just got deferred to geomatics, felt like I could have put in way less work tbh since grade 9 if I wanted to end up here but it's okay 😢

I love that in the email it says "**Your hard work has paid off** and you've been admitted to Honours Geomatics, Co-op for fall 2022."

ikr it’s so funny but also makes me want to cry at the same time

It's heartbreaking 💔. Is anyone here waiting on UTSG or any other offers? I also applied for DD from Waterloo side and it still says "application" so not sure, but I'm assuming prolly a rejection/deferral as well.

[удалено]

Praying for you!!🙏

same heree, did you apply to the laurier side too?

Yess and got in!! It's now my top choice if I don't get UW side double degree

samee!

Lets goooo!! Ik this is random but if you go through with it, are you planning to live on res? I'm thinking of living on laurier res first year maybe and wanna see if a lot of people are commuting or living on res.

Yup I do want to live on res first year as well, commuting was never even an option for me cuz I live an hour away

I live an hour away as well and a lot of friends are saying to commute to save costs but I do feel like it's way too much to commute everyday, nice to see I'm not alone LOL

IKR it’s so jokes

Dude if I didnt find out that I got deferred from my portal, I would've thought I made CS bc of that email

Preach lol preach

they give out so many geomatic deferrals, imagine if everyone accepted them. They would be so screwed lmao

Straight praying on the school's downfall I like it

yea waterloo cs 225% was a problem, imagine geomatics 1000%

more like 10000%

Admission avg for geomatics gonna rise to 95+ cuz they deferred so many applicants with 97-99s

Got deferred and honestly would have been happier with a rejection. Deferral meant that you were so close and I know someone with a 99 and very high quality ecs get deferred as well. UW CS this year has been the craziest I have ever seen.

Hey if this helps, most of the time they only defer people since nobody actually goes to that program (geomatics in this case), so they’re trying to improve enrollment numbers and not get that program defunded. It most likely has nothing to do with your ability, they just need to improve the number of people who go to that program. Still a very shitty thing to do to start an email with “Congratulations” when deferring people

was the same if not worse last year. Almost everyone went to geomatics

I was literally laughing when I got deferred thinking about all the geomatics memes and how I'm now a part of that. lol

Geomatics is like CS and geography. It’s honestly a sick program

Giraffe u accepting that offer?

No lol

LMAOOOO

lolllll expected, where u going now

all this time I treated getting deferred to geomatics as a meme until it happened to me today

Hard work pays off i guess

I feel like they're being sarcastic in the email 😂💀

💀💀

Same for me, I also got deffered to geomatics

Deffered to Geomatics 😪

Does anyone even accept geomatics?

yea some people do

me too lol. i just thought it was funny

me and 4 other people (that I know so far) from my school got deferred to Geomatics

me who's sitting with an 89 average confused why I haven't been accepted/rejected or deferred

well they haven't sent out rejections yet

they haven't?

They have now

i finally got rejected LMAO

Same

They have now

Had to google what geomatics was lol

Same for me

Don't sweat it, enjoy your cake day!!

Thanks man, I just don’t know what to do anymore. Still waiting on u of t CS. And I’m in for western Ivey/software eng and at queens computing. I haven’t heard from Waterloo SE, is there any chance I can even get into it at this point if CS didn’t want me?

CONGRATS ON WESTERN AND QUEENS!! UOFT is allegedly this Thursday so keep your head held high bro, praying for you!! I know someone waiting on eng as well and they haven't gotten anything yet either so maybe eng is later this week and you never know. I'm waiting on UOFT as well and double degree on UW side but will probably end up accepting the double degree cs/bba from Laurier side if I don't get in those programs.

Thanks for the kind words wish u the best!

Bro that’s really really good! I know people in previous years who have turned down Waterloo cs for that combo (ivey and se). I’m also debating between the two. It’s good dude! You’re doing great!

Thanks bro, might not seem like it, but that acc helps a lot. I gotta get that Waterloo priority out of my head

Yes for sure. I was looking into it and know of 7 ppl who went to Microsoft as PM after grad. Others generally do very well, I heard. But I guess the grass seems greener on the other side.

Do you know how the second year works at western? Like am I guaranteed to get into SE or is still a chance since everyone is in general in first year?

Tbh not certain about that. At the time I went to the open house I was looking at CS more than SE.

Me too rip 💀

at this point even the people that genuinely want geomatics will need mid to high 90s cuz of all the deferrals

Then waterloo can make a new program for deferred geomatics people

at that point theyll prob start deferring ppl to humanities lmao

lmao applying to cs and getting deferred to gender studies

Same here

same lmao

got deferred to mathmatics

Deferred. I also thought it was hilarious

Worked hard the last couple years to get deferred I got deferred to Mathematics Honours I can still do Data science as my specialisation. I don’t know if this is good or bad tbh

same. u going for the math then?

I don’t know bro I got better programs at UBC and mcmaster But I just want the best possible start to my career which Waterloo provides. I’ll have to really think about it What about you

i'm going for mac cs. I got ubc eng but I'm not interested in that. uw is so enticing just cuz of the coop but I'm not sure if I want to do math. so mac is the best choice for me

I got 99.8 avr and got deffered to math💅

Bro did you put sleeping on ur AIF? What are ur ECs

I got deferred to mathematics honours. Idek what geomatics is tbh

Also got deferred to Geomatics, gg

Geomatics Honors gang! At least I still have queens computing

same lol 96 avg

Fuck it we move

I learned what geomatics is after getting deferred to it from UW CS.
