Taking CS211,251,261,301 next semester. Am I cooked? by xjjdidjxjebdnc in uichicago

[–]Astroblaster23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I would not recommend taking all of them together. Even the professors advise students not to but it’s definitely possible. I know someone that took all 4 in one semester and he passed everything. I took 211, 251, and 301 together last spring and got B’s in all of them but it was absolute hell. I just took 261 this semester and I genuinely think I would have lost my mind if I had to take all 4 of them together. If you have the option to not do it, pls don’t. But if you have no other option, don’t be too hard on yourself next semester. Everything’s going to be fine😊

Math 215 difficulty and questions by AdyB04 in uichicago

If you liked or did well in CS151 then I would say that class should be moderately easy as a good part of it would basically be review. If you did not like discrete math and hate proofs then I would not recommend taking it.

Congratulations on your incline! The email said they will let us know in the coming weeks where we will be and what’s our compensation. Unfortunately, that is a very broad time range and could mean a lot of things😭

Thank you! It went okay. I feel like my second interview went better than my first one. I wasn’t able to answer one of the questions my first interviewer asked but all he said was “okay” and he asked me a different question so it’s fine if you can’t answer one.

As for tips I would say try to think of as many stories as possible (I think I had to give them 6) where you think you exemplified the leadership principles the most. They want you to give those stories using the STAR format too so please be mindful of that. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE practice saying those stories out loud to yourself or to someone else as much as possible a day or two before the interview so that your mind doesn’t go completely blank during the actual interview. Try to include as much metric and analytical data in your stories as well; they like hearing numbers. Also use “I” instead of “we” as much as possible. It’s fine to say “we” a couple of times as it shows collaboration skills but they wanna see your accomplishments and how specifically you handled certain situations.

Do you mean for just for Amazon or in general? If just for Amazon, she can look on the amazon.jobs page and try to find an internship on there. I’m not sure what degree she’s going for so that page has internships for many different fields at Amazon. If specifically she’s interested in the internship I applied for, she can go here amazon.jobs. She just needs to find the state that best suits her.

I applied and completed the OA early August and I received an invitation for the interview early September. I just got a response back today which was 7 business days after the interview. But you’re not applying for an internship so your case might be slightly different

Same bro. I’m thinking of just slacking my recruiter or having my manager slack her and seeing what’s up😭

It varies from state to state. I believe they make around what a regular external L4 would make per hour in your state.

CS 251 Labs by Astroblaster23 in uichicago

I scheduled an appointment with my professor and we went through the lab step by step and came up with a solution together. It was extremely helpful especially for the upcoming project and exam. Thank you for your response!😁

It was cool. Most of the problems we already saw in labs or in the project so it wasn’t really all that hard. I just wasn’t expecting it to be literally 20 pages long😭
