The AIF

The Admission Information Form is Waterloo's supplementary application: activities, interests, and short written answers. It's scored, and it matters most exactly where marks alone can't separate two applicants.

Unlike the adjustment factor, this piece is entirely in the student's hands. An AIF built thoughtfully over months reads very differently from one assembled the weekend before the deadline.

Treat it like a course deliverable with a term-long timeline, and it becomes an advantage instead of an afterthought.
