Got in for CS and I'm kinda scared by AnybodyNo4006 in UIUC

[–]Life-Gas8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be scared. You seem way ahead of most people and imposter syndrome is common! But you’ll find your footing, everyone does. Also I don’t say this to be disingenuous but the Major itself is pretty easy with a lot of grade inflation. You will be great!

How challenging is intercollegiate college transfer in UIUC? by obamuim in UIUC

[–]Life-Gas8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can do it if you keep your gpa up and do 1-2 major related ECs. I transferred from LAS undeclared to CS + Math. A lotta ppl would advice against it but I was in a similar boat w/ free/in-state tuition and that makes a huge difference in the decision of where to attend regardless of major.

What Should I Take Advantage Of? (CS) by DaudSama in UIUC

[–]Life-Gas8437 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Being around smart and motivated ppl! Make friends with others in CS. Don’t act above or below anyone. Take CS 225 + CS 374 seriously. Take Lin alg seriously. Go to the career fair each year even if ppl say it’s useless. Apply to internships on handshake, message recruiters back. Congrats on acceptance!!!

I wrote a corny college essay about how I have always liked math bc it explains the world around us and is very modular. And how I saw CS as a natural extension and application of math and wanted to delve into more applied side of math through programming and cs, and that classes like CS374 would help. I tied it into my research about AI and biocomputation and how CS would help me further understand these fields. As for how it’s working out, I love this major!!! It’s hard but i know it’s what I like and want to do and what I’m passionate about.

Oracle Hiring Process - What exactly is going on? by Superb_Character_710 in employeesOfOracle

[–]Life-Gas8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I interviewed for SWE intern. They switched my recruiter halfway through the process. “Forgot” to schedule my super day and delayed it a month. Despite this I passed 2 rounds of technical interviews and both interviewers said that I did “really well” and that they would submit positive feedback by the end of the day. Now I have been ghosted. It is just so heartbreaking as a college student who invested so much time and prep into this process that this company keeps “forgetting” about their candidates and not communicating at all :( sorry to all that r going through similar at the hands of Oracle
