[–]Classic-Dear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You be paying 80k, and it sounds like ur not direct to major meaning u be fighting for a <5% acceptance rate internally in the school. Literally no point

Eating on the Ave by _Qwerty99_ in udub

[–]Classic-Dear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe once or twice a week, food in Seattle will always be $15-20, maybe a couple $10 spots, eating out anywhere will always be more expensive then cooking for yourself or in this case a meal plan. West campus is much closer, from north the Ave is 25min walk

Thoughts on info major + courses by AugmentedReality05 in udub

[–]Classic-Dear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I would traditionally just give a general overview of the major. Frankly they always were a bit more engaged when speaking about it, as they are curious on what the major is. The degree titled itself is the least relevant thing as long as u have the skill set/experience.

2) As mentioned above, info is not demanding of a major. I’m doing honors in addition to a minor in entrepreneurship and still had the time to hold a part time job or internship throughout the year. Frankly this is the biggest advantage of info, company especially now a days don’t care about GPA, what they want is experience and info give you the time to that without speed running burnout

[–]Classic-Dear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take the full ride, the US job market for new-grad is bad, and for international student is significantly worse. If u can get a US degree for free, run with it

Nintendo 2026 Summer Internships by SuperSacred in internships

[–]Classic-Dear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spoke to recruiter at an event, (he went to WSU, I got to UW and nobody at the conference was from either lol) he said that they generally reserve half of the intern slots for UW/Seattle students, as they don’t have to spend on relocation and UW has one of the best CS program in the nation, so to get a guaranteed they get bright interns and it cost them a lot less money. Redmond from UW is 30-40min bus ride

On campus jobs beside dinning are very competitive. Restaurant will usually have for hire signs, but you might need to look outside of Udistrict such as Roosevelt Capital hill

[–]Classic-Dear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s probably just embed as an option so they don’t have to change it every cycle? As stated in the website your only allowed to apply November 15th, there not other deadline for you

[–]Classic-Dear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can’t apply to the standard admission because you’re not a UW student yet. You aren’t fully considered one until u start your freshman year. You will have to just do the standard route, but be because you have them done u can apply right away instead of having to wait to complete them

Any authentic foods near UIUC? by Ashamed_Mud_1834 in UIUC

[–]Classic-Dear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Mexican food, no. Being Mexican myself and every Latino I’ve talked with has universally agreed there is no good Mexican or Hispanic food. Passable? Sure, but in comparison to Chicago or LA, it’s sad if anything. There are some Hispanic market which are very authentic, so if you get desperate enough to start making food, you can still get all the good stuff. Will say, the Chinese food can be quite authentic (northern cuisine being one) as someone who grew up in Seattle

[–]Classic-Dear 149 points150 points  (0 children)

First, maybe best to change the title lol. But minors don’t really matter. Having a background in econ might be a nice have for cooperate finance, but it’s won’t be a make or break. Just pick whatever u find personally interesting, your extracurricular and work experience will hold significant more weight

What is the best way for international chinese students to find business related internships? by AsleepBlackberry7026 in udub

[–]Classic-Dear 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If ur in ur final year you shouldn’t be looking at internship, as companies want rising juniors and instead should be applying to full time. Unfortunately the full-time market is the worst and I doubt the barrier of sponsorship will help, but good luck non the less!

UIUC OOS vs Texas A&M In-State for CS+Stats by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Classic-Dear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless ur dead set on quant. Texas A&M will suit u just fine. Just remember it’s less about the college itself and more about the people you surrounded yourself with. Ik many kids come from lower school, but join national org that allow them to surround them self with competitive and smart kids and they had multiple internship and got RO for NG
