University of Waterloo – Contests
Math and computing contests challenge students from around the world with a range of abilities to grow valuable problem-solving skills. Contest participation is not a requirement for admission, but we strongly encourage you to participate, as it is an asset to your application.
You must participate in the Euclid Mathematics Contest or Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest (CSMC) to be considered for a Faculty of Mathematics Entrance Scholarship.
It is recommended that applicants to Computer Science write the Canadian Computing Competition (CCC), though it is not a requirement for admission. The aim of the competition is to provide students with an opportunity to test their ability in designing and understanding algorithms, as well as in programming. Contest winners will be invited to participate in computer science enrichment workshops at Waterloo, and you can include your participation in the contest on your Admission Information Form.
Why participate in a contest?
- To challenge yourself and your problem-solving skills.
- To prepare for university studies.
- Contests are an asset to your application.
- To demonstrate that you have sufficient mathematical background to enter our programs, especially useful in cases where we may be unfamiliar with an education system and unable to assess an applicant’s mathematical background.
- To be eligible for an entrance scholarship.
