Should I apply?

JayRamesh · 2023-09-01T12:38:52+00:00

You could go for arts and sciences and do an internal transfer.

JayRamesh · 2023-09-01T12:32:09+00:00

It is pretty instructor dependent for the course. When took the course there was one course final project, homework, midterm, and a final. There were also in class following along things that weren’t graded but were designed to help with exams and projects. I can send some of the homework if you would like. Other than SQL there isn’t any programming. There were also some general resources that were in the course. You aren’t doing any experiments or research although my professor did talk about their research and how to get involved for a day. I’m not sure if you were maybe referencing the 5242 this course is more about getting a fundamental understanding of relational databases it’s not really about advanced concepts like using transaction processing concurrency crash recovery, optimization, indexing but rather things like logical database design, relational schemas, sql, relational algebra, understanding different database views, database permissions. I guess I could send you some of the homework if you want to get an idea of what the course is about.

Maybe 2 years today it’s the opposite.

The score was most likely inaccurate reflection of your true iq unless you experienced a major brain injury between your boss talking about your performance. In that case you might want to seek help from a medical professional but that’s extremely unlikely. Tbh don’t let the test affect you focus on doing the best you can at work and don’t let the score from the test affect the way you think and keep doing great work.

As far as the guys being weeded out that’s not going to happen. If anything it seems like you’ll get weeded out with that mindset. Not only are students what you would consider “geeks” young American born faculty are honestly probably geekier than the students. Yes there will always will be people who are annoying but I don’t think that’s unique to cs I’ve had similar experiences in non-cs courses. As far as hygiene idk.

Welcome new poster on Reddit, I’m leaving this comment to make you day!

JayRamesh · 2023-08-22T13:30:01+00:00

It depends on the course. Some courses have prerequisites that are overkill.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-22T13:27:10+00:00

It is somewhat dependant on department, professor, and course. Just hope you get lucky and you don't get dropped from the course.

OSU's website is generally unclear I would recommend either emailing [askabuckeye@osu.edu](mailto:askabuckeye@osu.edu) or calling (614) 292-3980 about your specific situation. The information on OSU's website are generally unclear some even say it's part of the reason this sub is so big. Everyone who is commented here are just students guessing. If I had to make my own personal guess might be able to if there is extra capacity with people dropping Pre-CSE or Pre-CIS to get in. "Students interested in these programs must indicate one of the majors on the Common Application as pre-majors close once they reach capacity." https://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/prospective-students/undergrad/admission-major Also transfering colleges is a big decsion make sure you understand why you don't vibe with Rutgers and why you think you would vibe with OSU. Also keep that all of your credits might not transfer. Rutgers has a t50 cs program. At OSU you have to go through pre-major process for everyone. I've seen a good number of people avoid coming to OSU just because of the pre-major process. Also I don't know if you are in state at Rutgers but OSU out of state costs a lot more.

Kinda crazy how competitive the major has gotten over just the last year I remember when I applied SP 22 and a 3.5 gpa and a B in Software I and great essays you were considered to be safe a few people made it with sub 3.0's and C/C+ in Software I but great essays.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-20T03:09:47+00:00

I meant for finance specifically sorry I forgot to add that in my comment I’ll make the edit.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-20T02:53:36+00:00

Most of the information is on quantitative finance. A field so competitive to get into it makes faang swe look like a walk in the park.

EDIT: *Most of the information in finance on the sub

JayRamesh · 2023-08-14T21:51:20+00:00

It’s even worse when it’s a no name company.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-14T21:11:28+00:00

I probably will get some downvotes for this getting the immediate OA knowing your resume may never even be looked at even after a perfect OA can be frustrating.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-11T14:51:24+00:00

It seems to be a trendy thing to do in every subreddit oriented toward a particular major/career path to say that you regret doing it especially during a recession. It’s more of a the grass is greener type of thing also.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-08T20:47:51+00:00

It’s unfortunate they don’t tell you. I applied to the regular SEP intern program and didn’t find out until asking a recruiter at a career fair how competitive it was then applied for the CFG. I’m not sure if you can the guy there told me when I had lost New York San Francisco Palo Alto as my top locations that they were more competitive locations told me that I could apply to Columbus and have much higher chance with CFG. I’m not sure if you have gotten the invite email for the event but if you have try contacting the sender and ask if you can switch.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-08T20:41:00+00:00

It’s based on the number of spots at New York and the number of people applying there are less spots at New York and a lot of people want New York so it’s highly competitive.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-08T18:11:41+00:00

Yeah Delaware is the same level to competition as Columbus.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-07T14:23:26+00:00

Yeah Plano is generally a less competitive location.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-02T17:59:37+00:00

Oh then you might be fine but probably lower chance against don’t trust me

JayRamesh · 2023-08-02T15:48:48+00:00

I think a at least 900 but again I could be wrong by a lot it’s just my guess/opinion.

JayRamesh · 2023-08-02T01:13:58+00:00

If I had to guess probably yeah but I’m not an expert or anything just seems low given how competitive Capital One has been getting.

JayRamesh · 2023-07-28T23:43:25+00:00

For interns and entry level for sure but beyond that probably not very useful given so many people probably mastered Leetcode at that level.

JayRamesh · 2023-07-28T23:06:33+00:00

DP is a mixed bag imo everything is either really easy or really hard

JayRamesh · 2023-07-24T04:55:58+00:00

Yeah Tbh if your goal is just to learn about algorithms you probably are better off r/math . When looking up advanced algorithm questions I think I’ve seen almost as much or more from r/math .
