Undergraduate / Uw AIF for computer science coop. Part A Question 1 [3]

As Holt mentioned, try to be more specific in your goals and what led you to them. For example, instead of just saying "Studying computer science will allow me to ..." you could say "Majoring in these fields will give me the tools to develop scientific and medical systems that can greatly benefit the research community and greater public." Another thing that I find helps is to mention a specific course you are looking forward to.

In addition to my projects, I have already taken various online courses. I've completed courses and received certifications from IBM in Python for Data Science and Machine Learning in Python. Besides computer science and biology, I am also greatly interested in journalism as a hobby. In the past few years, I have written articles on events that have happened using interviews and thorough research tactics for websites such as *** ******. I'd be greatly interested in joining the student newspaper Imprint while studying at the University of Waterloo. While I am not pursuing journalism as a career, it would definitely provide me with a skill set that I could apply in many other aspects of my future career.
