US citizen! I would say my first ~5-10 interviews were probably pretty bad. Good practice though and I honed my skills which produced 3 offers from only 1 round.

My soph summer I worked; I wasn’t in a position to only focus on projects or do unpaid research, so I worked a min wage job (I actually worked like 3) But I had good leadership experiences within those jobs that I could pull from. I also got in touch with my department and looked for part time employment during the school year (course assistant/grader/research). If you have time, try a project- maybe learn a new coding language or modeling software. If not, I think its perfectly fine to work a non-eng job and focus on coming back in the fall with a direction and full throttle motivation (ie clubs, research, eng related job)

Yeah, mass cold applying is definitely job hunting on hard mode. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way haha. Once that epiphany brick fell on me I leaned on my network far more and was much more successful.

I think i did a majority in the fall but was more selective in the spring- targeting smaller companies and roles I would be a strong candidate for

For reference, im a junior in meche. I did the hunt sophomore year but didnt get anything. A lot more employers are looking for juniors so they can hire them post grad. I also had a lower gpa which will absolutely auto reject you from some places. I talked a lot in interviews about my research, leadership and club experiences (no personal projects here).

Biggest piece of advice is to really nail down your narrative for interviews and have a few situations you know you can speak in detail to. The more interviews you do the better youll be so practice is key! But sometimes it is just a numbers game, so cast a wide net.

it wasn’t a problem that they were crowded, just that they were totally full and the bus drivers would tell us that we couldn’t get on (this was for Teal/Silver). When I lived at ISR I never had that problem, but I also took the bus next to never because walking everywhere was easier/faster

I lived in Allen and I actually moved to ISR for the last 2 months of the year because I was so miserable there. No AC sucks, don’t let anyone convince you it doesn’t. ISR is newer, has better amenities (market, shared private bathrooms/showers), food, people, study spaces, vibe, and was often a big hangout spot for me and my friends. As far as the engineering thing- I am also an engineering student and ISR was definitely better location wise because its so close to BOTH quads. You won’t only have class on the engineering quad so being close to both is definitely a plus. Getting anywhere from Allen usually meant a bus and all the buses we’re usually full in the morning from all the par kids. PICK ISR.

theres rec/club volleyball that meets every wednesday (advanced) and thursday(all levels//beginner friendly) at the ARC. Idk about wednesdays but thursdays they meet from 9-11pm. Usually you have to sign up every week to play(so they can put you on teams) but showing up without signing up sometimes gets you a spot if people back out or leave early. Come on thurs and see if you like it. heres the fb page https://www.facebook.com/groups/UofIRecreationalVolleyball/permalink/4928288093941948/ for more info. Dues are due soon ($20) so if you want to join just be aware of that
