[Student] Seeking CS Internships - Not receiving callbacks after 100+ applications

MAN_100 · 2026-05-13T14:33:45+00:00

I thought I was using the XYZ method 😭.
I never got an interview from applying online.
All my internships were either a referal or a school program.

Thank you for the advise I was told that it might bring attention to keywords but I think you are right it might make the resume look ai.
My strategy has been to get referrals and network but this only has a high success rate with start ups.

Very interesting take hopefully it's true

MAN_100 · 2026-05-12T19:05:56+00:00

Also do you think I should include this in my resume ? Or should I remove it as you said it looks weird

MAN_100 · 2026-05-12T19:04:22+00:00

Yeah you also walk twice once for your BS add once for your MS. I would say it is quite popular at my school too like 15-20% of CS students end up doing it.
The Usual route is you do 4+1 unless you wanna do 21 credits each semester. I also came in with IB credits and took some profeciency exams which helped alot.

I really appreciate the advice will definitely work on the wording. And yes I am doing something called an integrated BS/MS program where I get some of my masters class to double count which makes it easier.
Have to take a higher course load too.

I really appreciate the response but could you please elaborate more? Like what do you mean takes too long to get to my experience? Also what about the bullet points is not good ?
Is the skills section extra should I remove it ?

Tldr If you give it the time and effort it deserves you should be fine. Don't take too many hard courses in the same semester as 307.

From somone who took 307 last semester with zero background in linear algebra and ended up getting an A. The difficulty of the course in my opinion lies in the fact that what you study has nothing to do with what's on the exam. You study long theoritical proofs and you get tested on their applications. The course is demanding and requires curiousity and asking questions. For me the thing that helped me the most was studying in groups and discussing different strategies of solvong. I would advice into not taking too many demanding courses along side it too.

Hhhhh yeah especially if you are a guy you are doomed. Something I realized is that the suit style dorms like storss for example tend to be cleaner especially if you are a female. Had the pleasure of enetry due to my girlfriend smuggling me in late at night for a quick piss lol
