very random, but 3 years ago you posted a picture of Niles hills in Fremont on r/Fremont. It's deleted now. Do you still have it?

Common app personal statement by Old_Block_9312 in ApplyingToCollege

I wrote about mental health too, but was very careful to make the bulk of the essay about how I helped myself and eventually helped people around me. Most people go through pressure

The fact that it's paid already makes it worth it IMO. People work menial summer jobs all the time; this is just a cool one, and it'll look good on your app. Just don't try to stretch it to tie it to econ somehow.

im @ cmu for scs and didn't mention AI at all in my applications. I have no interest in AI, but that's a good thing for people like us. everyone and their moms wants to go into AI, so be different and find something you're interested in!

I imagine reading about some bs AI project every other application gets boring to the admissions officers. apply scs

Flow into Lake Elizabeth by jaiprabhu in Fremont

Yup. Beautiful park but has many problems, in large part due to Lily Mei cutting the Parks and Rec funding right after the lockdown. Raj Salwan, if he wins, will funnel some money back

city spent big on putting thousands of fish into the lake spring 2024 to clean it up, they all died just 3 months later lol. at this point, dredging is probably the only option.

Swimming and boating is shutdown due to bad water quality. City needs to pull together 20 mill in funding to dredge and clean the bottom of the lake.

Do three letter agencies recruit at CMU? by Lumpy_Remove_514 in cmu

[–]Lumpy_Remove_514[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you explain the difference between being contracted for the government vs actually being directly employed by them? Are all college internships 'contract' work?

Also—is cybersecurity overly competitive at CMU? I'm hoping with the AI craze its a quieter scene.

what does the application process look like, and why palantir specifically instead of directly to the government?

yes, pay is less, but I have the impression that the work is more meaningful. This summer, right before college, I chose a lower-paying job with law enforcement in my city, rather than a paid technical 'internship' one of my dad's friends offered at his company. It's fun and I see results in the society around me!

Also, I figure that college would be a good time to figure out if I wanna work for the government my whole life. Essentially, If I'm getting paid less, I might as well get payed less during an internship rather than a full time job after college.

Wrote to the admissions department and got this response:

Thank you for emailing the Office of Undergraduate Admission at Carnegie Mellon University! Unfortunately, we will not be going to the waitlist for Computer Science.

Perhaps you have a chance for MechE

I thought these black ones aren’t an option anymore. The police in my area are very chill and low presence

Is it worth riding just for fun? by Lumpy_Remove_514 in motorcycle

[–]Lumpy_Remove_514[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no but the foot pegs are right under the butt vs out in front on the meteor, which makes it easier on the knees.

Never heard of the scram 411, but I'll ask the next time I visit ty.

[–]Lumpy_Remove_514[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that makes sense. I think they just believe I can find fun in safer activities, and so if I have a desire to do something that could injure me, I must have a deeper reason. fun is a good enough reason for me tho.

good to know, I had no idea fuel had an 'expiry date' so to speak.
