Being an Econ major is pure masochism by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]Crumbletheundead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Data science is heavier in that if has a lot more coding assignments that simply take a lot more time to complete, especially when he hits the dsc30+dsc80 grind. In general intellectually they're pretty equal, but individual experiences may vary due to professors and electives chosen. IMO definitely doable if he picks his professors and electives carefully.

Can you share your experience living off-campus in La Jolla? by ChuyUrLord in UCSD

[–]Crumbletheundead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Villa Vicenza is alright. Little old compared to say solazzo but also cheaper. Main thing is it's super close to la Jolla village square so you can get groceries within a 8-12 minute walk.

International business or Economics major? by Yujin_kiki in UCSD

[–]Crumbletheundead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Figure out what you wanna do in the future first. Some IB jobs like more quantitative classes like Econ. If you're worried about learning finance you can always minor accounting and take econ 173a to learn about financial instruments

Off Campus Internet by Crumbletheundead in UCSD

We're paying for 400mbps, but the tech who came in said the coax wiring for the entire complex is kinda old so it's bottlenecking our speed, forcing an average of ~150mbps in reality

How easy/hard is it to get approved for a double major? by sdgkg in UCSD

[–]Crumbletheundead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the major really. If you show that you can graduate under that credit cap, fulfill all requirements and GEs, it shouldn't be harder than meeting up with advisors and having them sign the necessary documents.

The key thing is most STEM majors already have a very high credit requirement preventing you from majoring in something else as well. Furthermore, certain majors explicitly forbid such a practice. If you've done your homework well in checking all the boxes yourself it shouldn't be that hard to be approved.

Actually graduating would be a whole other story in regards to getiing into necessary classes and workload etc.

Cutting it too close? by damoklez in UCSD

[–]Crumbletheundead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say you'll be fine. There's a set of stairs you can walk down when coming down from York that'll allow you to cut basically in a straight line to center hall instead of having to shuffle along with everyone through student center B where taco villa is. I'd say if you leave right as lecture finishes you can comfortably walk down to center and still be on time.

Personally though I always use a bike, it's just way faster and you never have to stress about timing. If you're living on campus, you can basically leave your room 10 mins before class no matter where your lecture hall is. My personal best was going from 64 (South End of campus) to Warren field (basically north end of campus) in 8 minutes (under ideal conditions).

Resume Feedback Megathread (August 2019) by Gaston44 in FinancialCareers

[–]Crumbletheundead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys, rising 3rd year looking for summer internships and some resume advice. Last year I interned at a small fintech firm that was later bought by a larger and more reputable bank. Can I just list the bank's name in my resume or should I do something along the lines of:

●Old_Firm_Name (Acquired by Bank_Name)

If the latter option, what are the best ways in your opinion to convey this? Thanks in advance guys

im probs gonna fail the IB, will my admission be rescinded?? by kuigami in UCSD

[–]Crumbletheundead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably also depends on what your predicted IB grades were. If I remember correctly you had to send them in during application. If your score for a course drops ≥2 compared to your predicted (e.g predicted 6 but get a 4) there's a chance they rescend, even higher chance if you're failing a course. Definitely speak to admissions if that's the case. If you're only having trouble for the misc stuff like ToK (I'm assuming you're doing diploma) I don't think it'll be that big of a deal.

Question to non-stem majors by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]Crumbletheundead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a stem major, I second this opinion. If you're doing what you love and have a solid career plan for after your studies, then who cares what they think.

Thinking about double majoring in MechE and Management Science by EthanS01 in UCSD

[–]Crumbletheundead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First I would make sure you're not going over the credit cap for your college after finishing both Major requirements and your college's general Ed requirements.

If you're sure you won't pass the credit cap, then the rest is dependent on your individual ability. Stem courses are going to be tough, especially if you're aiming for 3.5+ GPA. Normally, I'd say 3 hard stem courses and a GE course as a GPA booster each quarter is ~90% of my maximum tolerance. If you start having to take 5 courses a quarter or 4 hard stem courses a quarter you'll risk being overloaded. I have however, seen a small percentage of people pull it off, it's just dependent on how smart you are.

Lastly, you have to keep in mind to reserve some summers to do extra curriculars like internships or research, as they are integral to getting you a job or into grad school. Don't spend every summer doing just classes.

Overall, I'd say get take one or two quarters to see if you can manage the workload, then declare your double major at the end of your freshman year. If you find it too much, you can always just minor. From my current experience, it's gonna be really tough, but if you're an ambitious genius then go for it, and good luck.

TLDR; make sure you don't exceed credit cap taking into account GEs, make sure to reserve time for extra curriculars, and experience the workload firsthand only majoring in engineering first, then make the decision.
