Ans) I have been interested in programming and building software for quite a while and believe that it is a perfect balance between logical problem solving, as well as creative autonomy. I wish to pursue Computer Science as my undergraduate major, as it will allow me to experience all the different fields it has to offer which I wish to explore, such as Machine learning, Game development, Cybersecurity, and also build a strong understanding of how computers function at a more fundamental level. Waterloo is one of the most well-reputed institutes in the world with the largest computer science department in Canada. I feel that Waterloo would be the best school for me because of the excellent co-op program it offers which would give me a headstart in my career in the tech industry. Participating in hackathons such as "Hack the North", engaging in the massive start-up community there, are things I wish to do.
