What an unreal video Marcus! Such a joyful style mate love the passion. I’m sharing my journey through flight training too! I’ll be following along my friend 🫡
Heyyy, amazinggg video. I currently in gr11 rn and also interested in geo and avi. I was wondering what were your top 6 that helped you get in uwaterloo.
Thank you! According to my memory, my top 6 were: -Advanced functions -Calculus and Vectors -Mathematics of Data Management -Physics -World Issues: A Geographic Analysis -English The difficulty level will differ from person to person, so do make sure to do your research into each course before choosing them! Good luck :)
Getting my private pilot license was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now, I’m starting to use my pilot license to repossess cars and create UA-cam content! 🤘🏻
as a student at Seneca colleges flight program, I am actually so jealous that you guys get to fly out of a controlled airport and we don't. Peterboroughs mf so half the time you got busy circuits and potential traffic conflicts
@@pilotmarcus oh yeah, but its pretty far out of the way especially for a cross country or other flight training event. If I do end up there by chance, then I'll certainly let you know what I think
@@pilotmarcusin your opinion how competitive is this program? Is it as competitive as some popular programs like engineering or is it less competitive?
This program is fairly competitive. I'm not sure how competitive it is compared with engineering programs but expect the average grades of applicants to be a few percentages higher than the required grades, so around high 80s to low 90s. I hope that gives you an idea about how competitive the program is.@@eric.j.24
@@pilotmarcus Thanks! The percentages from what you have told me are lower than the popular programs such as engineering and medical school, but it does give me an idea of what to strive for.
Heyy! Congrats on your offer! I'm not entirely sure but I have friends who transferred to aviation from other programs in UW. I think as long as your credits are transferrable plus if you're okay to retake the aviation courses that you missed then I think it's doable. However, don't quote on me and make sure you talk to your academic advisor about your transfer if you happen to accept this offer ;)
Hey can i apply for this program after my college and do they accept ielts band 6.5 not less than 5.5 nd I'm from arts background, not good at mathematics
Hello! Just to let you know I am not in charge nor responsible for university application inquiries and I recommend you to reach out to the faculty requirement coordinator for that. According to the uw website though, the overall minimum requirement is 6.5 and there are individual requirements for each part of the IELTS, so if you get that you should be fine (I’m not entirely sure if your ranking against other students would matter though) and if you apply to the aviation program, they do require a certain level of maths and you would need to take a certain math course to apply for this program, feel free to check their admission requirements website to see where you need in order to get into this program! You should still be able to apply with an arts background as long as you take the required courses for the admission requirements
How competitive is the admissions for uWaterloo coming from highschool? I am Albertan, and have a 75 in physics 30, 85 in chem 30, 90% in math 31 and got a 90% on math 30-1 diploma, 70% in english 30-1 and I am currently doing social studies 30-1, with a 80% currently. Do I have a shot?
Hello, from what I know, getting into this program is fairly competitive as the admission average has gone up recently to around mid to high 80s. So with the grades you provided, I think you will have a good shot at this in my opinion, but don't quote me though because you never know who you're competing with. Nevertheless, good luck!
@@wg4112 I like the program a lot personally! We have a society called UWAS (University of Waterloo Aviation Society) this society organizes formal events to network and connect with professionals in the aviation industry, and they also organize events for aviation students to get along with each other. All in all, this program (and the aviation industry) is a tight knit community and most people knows each other. As for jobs, Waterloo airport does hire people to work for customer service for low cost airlines as well as ground crew. Our flight centre also offers job like dispatch and ground crew too. When it comes to flight instructing, that’ll be after you have your commercial license, but before that the flight centre does recruit for volunteer TA for the ground school.
can you also make a video on the grades u had in ur high school report card that got u in this program, the AIF as well I want to get in to science and aviation but I think the requirements are similar.
Hmm I think it would be quite challenging to make a video about my high school grades and how to fill in the AIF. However, this website: uwaterloo.ca/future-students/missing-manual/applying/everything-you-need-know-about-waterloos-admission does a pretty good job explaining what you should put on the form. Also, there is actually a slight difference in the requirements between Geo&Aviation and Science&Aviation, FYI: uwaterloo.ca/future-students/programs/science-and-aviation covers the specific requirements for science&aviation. Good luck with your studies and I hope to see you at Waterloo in the future!
Hİ Marcus! I was wondering how did you get into University of waterloo as an International student . I'm from Turkey and next year I want to get into University of Waterloo.
Hello! So I'm actually a local student, but I believe all local and international students apply through OUAC, which is a portal to apply to all universities in Ontario and uWaterloo is one of them. Just state that you are an international student and follow the required steps. You also have to take IELTS, which is an English assessment exam for university application and you gotta submit your IELTS grades through OUAC. However, I am not entirely sure about the specific process, so I'd recommend you to reach out to your school for the application :) looking forward to seeing you in Waterloo soon!
Hey, I like to see ur video! As u know that, it’s time to go uni for G12 student and I have few questions. Currently, I got all offer from aviation programs in various uni and now, I need to consider which uni should I go. I’m considering western commercial aviation management(flight option) or waterloo geo or sci & aviation program. My question is, what makes you to go geo & aviation program rather than other uni aviation program and what is the advantage of geo & aviation?
Congrats on your offer! I chose Geo& Aviation simply because I love Geography more than business management or science. Also, uWaterloo is closer to where I live compared to Western. The Aviation part in both science and geo in uWaterloo is exactly the same, so it totally depends on which one you would like to study if you choose Waterloo in the end. In my opinion, the advantage of choosing Geo over Science is that the courses that you will take just 'slightly' overlap with what you learn in flight school (specifically meteorology), but of course, everyone will have different opinions on which program is better so make sure you do extensive research before accepting the offer. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions!
@@pilotmarcus Thank you so much for your comment! That helped a lot to me. I still have time so I'll trying to figure it out soon but, there's a high chance I'm going to western because of scholarship, campus life, back-up option (MBA). Have a safe flight!
This university program allows you to get your pilot licenses and your bachelor degree when you graduate, and yes you would have to pay for both your university degree and the flight training.
It depends on your class schedule. University students (except for engineering) don't have classes from 8-5 for the whole week. And even if you have back to back classes in the same day, you still get to have a 10 minute break before the next class (and lunchtime if it's at noon).
editing is top notch for a channel with this little subscribes. Cant wait to see more
Your videos are so inspirational, keep up the good work bro!
Loved the intro and every part of this video!!!!keep it up Marcus
I was waiting for your video! Thanks for this amazing video😊

super underrated UA-camr(and pilot)!
Heyyy, amazinggg video.
I currently in gr11 rn and also interested in geo and avi. I was wondering what were your top 6 that helped you get in uwaterloo.
Thank you! According to my memory, my top 6 were:
-Advanced functions
-Calculus and Vectors
-Mathematics of Data Management
-Physics
-World Issues: A Geographic Analysis
-English
The difficulty level will differ from person to person, so do make sure to do your research into each course before choosing them! Good luck :)
The instant coffee with cream ughhh I felt that😫
This is such a fun vlog! Looking forward to the next one

Amazing video, so inspiring♥️wishing you all the best in your journey🤗
Wow! This is the best "day in the life of a student" video I've seen. Amazing job.
love this !! I am applying for the same program so this inspired me even more! Maybe i will see u at UWaterloo soon !!
Amazing video, can’t wait to see more
Woohoo! I caught the premiere!
Great video Marcus 😊👍 best wish to your yr 2 study

I've been there too and I totally agree with you man 💀, are you guys allowed to go to CYKF? If so we will definitely welcome you!
@@pilotmarcus oh yeah, but its pretty far out of the way especially for a cross country or other flight training event. If I do end up there by chance, then I'll certainly let you know what I think
@@megawave79 yessir!!
This is amazing!!!
Hey! What was your overall average when you applied? My overall average for Grade 12 so far including my top 6 courses was 89%
Hey! I applied with a mid 90s, but the application minimum average is mid 80s :)

hi one question. If you want to be a pilot and want to do uni so for this route u have to pay for uni and ppl?
This university program allows you to get your pilot licenses and your bachelor degree when you graduate, and yes you would have to pay for both your university degree and the flight training.
Do you get any breaks during school?
It depends on your class schedule. University students (except for engineering) don't have classes from 8-5 for the whole week. And even if you have back to back classes in the same day, you still get to have a 10 minute break before the next class (and lunchtime if it's at noon).

YEAHH CAPTAIN 🎉
Cool~🎉
Are you studying for a Bachelor of Geographical Aviation or a Bachelor of Science in Aviation?
I'm studying Geography & Aviation

Hey how are you?
Can you tell me cost of it?
Hello! The link below tells you the approximate cost of the flight training and the degree:
uwaterloo.ca/aviation/fees
And how much years will take to have ATPL
@@EhsanullahMohmand-n4n You will get your full ATPL after you graduate. You will only do your ATPL written exams in the flight centre
bro,nice cutting!
I am the 437 subscriber.
4:07 🤣
Hey is time waste .why couldn't join directly a flying school?
That's an interesting question, but I personally like to have a university degree along with my pilot licenses.
@@pilotmarcus I agree💯
