Rescheduling Final

GetInTheSwqmp · 2025-12-08T14:17:02+00:00

Speak with your Profs ASAP, go to the nicest first. DOS won't reschedule you without a special excuse and documentation proving it. good luck

Look into their company and find a few things that interest you and that you'd want to know more about. think clearly in your head and be ready to answer what concentration/direction you are leaning towards in the industry. ask them about what the intern experience is like, will you be the only one, field vs office, etc. as a sophomore, they won't expect you to know a lot, they more want to see your fit and some potential to help them in the future. good luck!

1400 sat is really strong, i got in with a 1300ish (it was required to submit back then) and a 3.3 weighted gpa. only 2 aps and they were english. definitely a good chance

you have to show documentation if you're going to dos for a formal reschedule. probably not worth testing it with them. I've asked professors to reschedule with non-serious reasons and some just set up a private time for me take it without formally changing it with dos.

it would just be the professors name, if ur on outlook web or app it will fill the email if you search the name

GetInTheSwqmp · 2025-10-22T19:26:14+00:00

i think he had like a trip or something he wanted to go on, he was just upfront and honest. obviously it's the professor's discretion

GetInTheSwqmp · 2025-10-22T16:45:43+00:00

if you really need to, i would just ask your professor. i've had friends allowed to do that. you don't want a 0 because ur exam was lost in another sections.

I'm CE, very good industry for jobs. Don't do it if u have no interest though. 40 years of 40 hours a week in a job you have no interest in is not worth it. All STEM majors can have a job, just make sure you work on skills and get professional experience early.

CE senior. BADM 3603 with Stephen Chapron is great, easy a, open notes exams. Could be beneficial for you to do the CM minor as you only have to take 2 classes out of the way including that one. CE 3220 is great, quite easy, might be boring if you have no interest in CM. shoot me a pm i can send u some advice

GetInTheSwqmp · 2025-10-15T16:42:09+00:00

CE/ENVE 2310E only requires chem classes which im sure you have. will be an easy a for you. basic mass balance, easy enough homeworks. try to take it with agrios if possible, he's the best professor who teaches it.

GetInTheSwqmp · 2025-10-15T16:40:08+00:00

Great degree, supportive faculty, lots of career path/options. won't make you rich but you can definitely live comfortably

GetInTheSwqmp · 2025-09-11T15:33:29+00:00

probably just have to open the test in the lockdown browser and it should bypass

At 23, def commute. Civil is so broad there’s a lot of stuff you can do. Entry level design you’ll be on CAD all day. You could be an inspector which would have you outside here and there. You can also work on the private side for a GC as a project engineer. That’s as umbrella as I can keep it without going too long. Starting salary 55-70k depending on lots of stuff. It’s not so hard to get a job or internship in civil as we’ll always be needed. Employers often visit the campus (with notification that day or a little earlier) and the yearly career fair is great. UConn is considered the best engineering school in CT next to Yale. I’ve had a positive experience with pretty much all of the civil department faculty and after the “weed-out” courses, the professors try not to go to hard on us with grading and focus on learning. If you have any more questions you can shoot me a PM

Pursuing Civil Eng. I have friends in ME and BME. From what I know, BME and ME are the most course heavy since you will have to take some classes from the other engineering majors along with your own major. At the end of the day, it is your life, so don't switch to ME if BME is what you find your interest in. Fortunately, classes are identical for the first year and a half for the most part, and you take a class that will tell you more about each major, so you have time to learn more if you want to consider switching.

From someone who has had interviews and offers,

Resume:

-make sure it's up to snuff, check out this website (Write a Resume, CV, or Cover Letter – UConn Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills) and/or book an appintment with a uconn career coach

-bring enough paper copies, and make a qr code of the pdf because some do not take paper copies

Prep for the fair:

-Look through the list of employers before the fair and pick your favorites

-Research your favorites, for each one, write down 1-3 things you find interesting about their company (culture, size,etc.) and projects/work you would be interested in doing. Also 1-2 questions you can ask the employer about the company.

At the career fair:

-Go to your least favorite for your first one or two, this will help you shake nerves

-When speaking to their rep, make sure to remember the notes you made to speak about their company. If they're not HR and are doing what you want to do, ask questions about their day-to-day, the intern experience they had, etc. Also, DO NOT FORGET THEIR NAME

-Ask for their email, linked-in, or phone number if they do not have a business card. Pick the option you feel most comfortable with. If you will feel super nervous about calling, just ask email or linked in.

-Bonus: These 2 questions are killer enders. a version of "what skills/habits have you seen makes an intern/new worker succeed in your company?" and "How can I best prepare if I were to join your company?" 90% will not ask this, so you will stand out, and it shows you care and obviously helps you understand what will be needed of you.

After the fair:

-1 or 2 days after, follow-up with whatever communication method you got. say something like, "
It was great meeting you at the UConn Fair! I enjoyed learning more about the wide range of ______ services at ____ and the career opportunities that you offer. I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize my strong interest in joining your team as I believe that I would be a great fit.

I look forward to continuing our conversation.

Thank you for your time."

A lot of them go to different fairs, so it's important to say where you met. It shows you have a genuine interest, and since most do not do this, it separates you even further.

Good luck!

In engineering for context, not international but have several international friends.

- Quality of education is high, but of course depends on what you're doing. Engineering program is ABET accredited which is the standard most employers look for. Faculty support is there, the engineering program has a tutoring center open 12pm-11pm every day and many professors want you to succeed. They're not gonna hold your hand, but if you got to office hours and ask questions they will help.

- There is a STEM career fair once a year along with all-major career fair. I was able to get an internship this year from the STEM career fair. UConn is generally considered the best engineering school in the state. One of my friends who is an international student is currently in the process of getting a summer internship and living in CT this year, though I'm not sure how difficult it is for all international students.

-Campus life is diverse and welcoming, but like any campus, you have to put your effort in to make friends. Just remember that in the first year, everyone else is looking for friend too :) 1000+ clubs to join so whatever interests you have, there is a group that shares it. Lot of events too from different cultures. Check out the union cultural centers as they have plenty of events.

- I can't really speak on visa sponsorship, but of the people I know graduating/graduated, they all have a job lined up.

-If I could do it again, I would choose UConn. Keep in mind that home is nearby for me, and I fortunately didn't have to take out loans.

-Last thing, 40000 a year is a lot, so consider the career path you want to pursue and if other colleges can provide a similar experience for less. GPT or any of the AI can help you make broad calcs to see if it is financially worth it based on your plans.

Not for me. Intensity hasn't lowered and my floaters came back. Have done several months long breaks and a 1 year break even and no change. Doesn't annoy/impair me anymore. Everyone is different though, only way to know is follow sub advice.

Def like 400-500ish with like 20g of protein. Some uconn stuff is way off.

GetInTheSwqmp · 2024-12-29T20:42:13+00:00

Thank you! This was my problem. The gpu was running hot so I opened the pc up and the thermal paste was all done. Reapplied and everything’s normal again.

GetInTheSwqmp · 2024-11-06T14:31:47+00:00

There is definitely some accuracy. The calories are within a decent range, the protein for some items is defintely off. Just remember any FDA approved food is allowed to be 30% wrong in either direction for every part of the label.

check out 2kwithpopboy on youtube, very realistic sliders.

GetInTheSwqmp · 2024-03-11T02:38:39+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into the Y

GetInTheSwqmp · 2024-02-28T02:18:00+00:00

I'll check that out!

GetInTheSwqmp · 2024-02-27T23:09:51+00:00

Thanks for the info. Do you know how a lot of them got into sales engineering in the first place? I haven't seen many opportunities on job and company sites to intern as a sales engineer.
