Meet Alex, a third-year Electrical Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. After excelling in high school with a passion for math and physics, Alex dove headfirst into UW's rigorous academic environment, quickly learning the importance of maintaining a high GPA. Having faced the challenges of the demanding engineering programs firsthand, Alex often finds themselves advising incoming students on the difficulties they might encounter. With a sharp analytical mind and a hint of sarcasm, Alex enjoys sharing their insights (and a bit of concern) about the journey ahead for new UW students.
