Should I participate in the Sir Isaac Newton Physics Exam or Chem 13 News Exam?
This isn’t necessary if you’re applying to a program in the Faculties of Applied Health Science, Arts, Engineering, Environment, or Mathematics. The exceptions are: • Honours Physics (through Physical Sciences) • Biochemistry (through Life Sciences) • Chemistry (through Physical Sciences)If you’re applying for admission to any of the programs listed above, it is strongly recommended that you participate in one/some of the Waterloo contests. The results are used to make scholarship decisions. TIP for Engineering applicants – While these contests are not requirements for admission or scholarship decisions, strong performance in mathematics-, science-, or engineering-related competitions will strengthen your application.
