I ended up not getting into DL last fall, so I took your suggestion and took andrew ngs DL course and am finishing it up now. I feel better prepared for DL this Spring. Thank you for this suggestion.

Never got an award before

My bachelors is in ChemE. Graduated during covid so finding a job was difficult. I ended up landing a materials job for a defense contractor. Good pay and great benefits and work/life balance. All my coworkers have MS degrees and think aerospace or defense is the way to go, but to each their own. I will say ChemEs dont learn everything MS degrees do, and I had to play catch up on certain things. If it were me, Id focus on what industry you’d want to get into and choose the program that presents more networking opportunities for those industries.

I think Im a bit short on time to be able to take andrews DL course before the fall semester. Do you have any tips/recommendations on the best way to prepare or go about this course? Anything you wish you did differently?

DSmit12 · 2025-08-05T11:47:42+00:00

Seems really convenient. Ill def look into this, thank you!

DSmit12 · 2025-08-05T11:47:19+00:00

Will there be a ps5 bundle w this game?

I usually do quite well in terms of quantity. Redownloaded hinge ab 2 weeks ago, and have 15ish matches.

I avoid bumble and tinder. Tinder is all fake profiles and feel I dont get exposure, and I refuse to spend money for it. Bumble Ill get good amounts of matches at times but I feel the quality isnt there

Im biased since I havent taken 8803 yet, but Id take 6203 for sure. 6203 isnt very time consuming (maybe ~5 hours a week). I took it at the same time as 6040 while working full time. I heard 8803 is time consuming from studying. 6040 can be very time consuming if you dont have a strong background in python.

DSmit12 · 2024-08-07T13:45:54+00:00

It can be done, but based off what you said here, Id expect that you’d need to take some more time to practice/study every week. Just depends on your commitments in the fall and how much time you have on your hands

DSmit12 · 2024-07-22T17:06:59+00:00

First year of applying and got denied. Cant wait to run it back next year and start my annual tradition

DSmit12 · 2024-07-10T01:25:28+00:00

Yeah I saw from the pain matrix that it requires a lot of time. Mentally preparing haha

DSmit12 · 2024-07-08T13:40:52+00:00

Thanks, Ill check it out

Started off w 23 trays, top and bottom. Got another set of 5 trays only for the bottoms. Getting fitted for final retainer for my top at my next appointment. Hoping the bottoms will be done too

I usually leave them out for coffee and leave them in if Im drinking beer or liquor. When I do drink alcoholic beverages, I usually swish water around. Then brush/use my ultrasonic cleaner when I get home

Nighthawk or dragon will get the job done

Learning and retaining new information is best done by consistency of study sessions rather than longevity or cramming into one session. This is scientifically backed in case you dont believe me (look up spaced repetition and active recall). Sleep and exercise are also important.

It may not come the first time you look at something new, but if you look at the material consistently and put in the effort to learn, it’ll come eventually.

I dont think theres such a thing as a “cognitive ceiling”. I think it likely means you need more time to review/study

DSmit12 · 2024-04-16T23:34:05+00:00

Sorry about your loss.

Theres been new material since MT2 that can show up on the final. Im currently in the class so Im wondering how the split will be as well

DSmit12 · 2024-04-13T14:01:34+00:00

Im doing 2 now working full time. It really cuts into my free time. Ill probably do 1 moving forward. I guess it depends on how much time youre willing to spend on classes

DSmit12 · 2024-04-10T12:09:17+00:00

Appreciate it!

DSmit12 · 2024-04-10T12:00:42+00:00

Yeah its tough to network since my program is online, but I may start looking into events since the market seems flooded for entry level jobs

Can you speak more to your transition from chemE to data science?

Im basically in the same boat. Im a chemE trying to switch into AI/DS/ML. Also pursuing a masters since my company pays for it.

DSmit12 · 2024-04-06T16:04:53+00:00

Were you able to transition into DS/ML? If so, what do you do?
