haha, nice try each lecture is different

actually a polynomial time primality test was discovered in 2002 http://mathworld.wolfram.com/AKSPrimalityTest.html

yeah, 4 yours because of the IT its staggered throughout your degree (one 3month and two 6month stints for actuarial, 3 6month stints for other commerce)

yes, except that i think the shortest course you could do on coop is 4 years

for about 2 things a year they'll ask for volunteers to do something but you can just say no anyways :P

How and when do you enrol in summer courses?

there is a good chance you will have an HR person from one of the sponsor companies interviewing you, so be prepared for some behavioural interviewing (e.g. tell us about a situation in which you demonstrated resilience).

you can do a double major...almost every actuarial co-op also majors in finance your just cant do a combined degree (e.g. BCom/BScience)

at the moment they will be selecting scholars from the people they interview. if someone declines an interview they might add some more people (unlikely). then, after they choose the scholars, they will also make a shortlist of people who were interviewed but not offerered a scholarship. if...

in your case i'd say the main reason you wouldn't have got an interview would have been because you said on your application that you wanted to do medicine. co-op looks for people who are passionate about studying the course they are applying for.. its easy to see who really wants to do...

you've got to be kidding...

i was involved in the selection process if anyone has any questions about how it works etc... congrats to those of you who got interviews
