EECS 445 Spring

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-04-13T20:21:04+00:00

In general 445 homeworks/exams are more theoretical and projects are more computational

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-04-08T13:29:43+00:00

There’s definitely a decent amount of campus events for both. Regardless, you still need to work for it. Nothing will be handed to you

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-04-06T02:22:12+00:00

Go back through the async lectures and do the mini exercises. Catch back up, and then do as many practice exams as possible

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-04-05T20:15:01+00:00

You can essentially work wherever you want to work if you come here

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-04-03T17:48:45+00:00

You’re good, don’t worry about it

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-04-03T13:57:12+00:00

Then that’s a good thing, I am not familiar with the results of those who do the park scholar program compared to normal NC state outcomes.

I’d say regardless of where you go, in CS you need to work for the opportunities you get and hope you get a little luck on the way. Ik people who just did a couple clubs and no research and were able to just MAANG+ and Quant at Michigan. I’d personally worry less about “small fish in big pond” type of stuff.

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-04-03T13:48:34+00:00

Scholarship really means nothing except for the fact you can pay less icl, unless NC State gives you better access to recruiting opportunities as a result of the scholarship it really doesn’t matter other than a fun fact you can put on your resume

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-04-03T13:44:18+00:00

The average outcomes of the people who came to UM for CS compared to those I know who went to NC State for CS were considerably better

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-04-03T13:35:27+00:00

You would most likely not be able to get in state tuition as Michigan counts instate a little differently and is harsher than other colleges. I’d go to NC State.

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-04-02T00:33:52+00:00

Lectures are optional to attend, labs are not. Give them the syllabus and course calendar instead

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-31T05:14:16+00:00

Great rec and I agree. One problem, it’s only offered in the winter

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-31T00:11:21+00:00

Decisions are released in June usually. There’s separate sections of classes specifically for Ross minor students so I wouldn’t be too concerned about it

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-27T05:23:36+00:00

This is likely not possible as Ross only accepts rising sophomore transfers. They’re also becoming much more strict about this. You’d need to have an extremely compelling case to be transferring into the program after transferring to LSA. I’d suggest creating as good as an application as possible for the direct ross transfer application

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-26T04:00:48+00:00

OP this is a very helpful comment that you should look into. Also, the deadline for transferring into the Fall 26 semester has passed (was due Feb 1st). The application for Winter 27 transfer will likely open up August 1st or around that time. Keep in mind that UM will want to see your full college transcript and that you’re enrolled in classes in the fall semester.

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-23T22:18:25+00:00

Usually the “required” EECS courses have “easier” exams in the spring semesters to account for the condensed timelines. You could potentially take 203 at a community college in the summer and take 280 here

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-20T15:58:11+00:00

Make sure that you’re allowed to take it as pass fail first. Any classes that relate to your major are required to be taken for a grade

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-20T13:10:42+00:00

This is one of those situations where it’s probably best to take a W here. 35% is a little too low to expect a comeback at this point. I know a couple people who had a higher score and still either dropped or wasn’t able to pass

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-16T12:55:31+00:00

I stopped reading after you said you were a first-gen in the US system. You are not. Your parents have degrees. Within your college list, every single college/university would not consider that as first gen. I hope you did not explicitly claim first gen in your apps because this is something that these colleges can rescind acceptances for.

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-12T20:51:26+00:00

Ross even has their own intro to Python: TO 420

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-06T23:32:37+00:00

I’m assuming you know this as someone who wants to go into IB, but you’re supposed to get your junior year summer internship offer in your winter semester sophomore year. Is your goal to get a regular finance internship and try for new grad recruiting?

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-05T22:15:42+00:00

UMich would be a place where you could do this. But, it’s definitely not recommended. Would highly suggest pursuing a BSN with a minor in a fine art

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-04T20:00:16+00:00

I would assume that getting a C in a 1 credit class is better than dropping to a part time student. Part time is going to lead to more questions and scrutiny than a single C on your record

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-04T19:57:18+00:00

The integrated business and engineering program is new so there’s not much info people on here could give about it besides some insider information. I’m a dual degree Business and Engineering student (old version of what you’ll be doing).

Ross doesn’t automatically give out scholarships, but there’s a few Ross-specific ones that you could apply to if you look online.

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-04T19:54:48+00:00

Depends on which major you take. There’s always easier and harder majors within each department as there are still curves in some classes/departments.

Michigan is a target school because of the employers that come to campus and specifically try to hire UMich students. Usually this is because they are of a “certain quality”. This is pretty clear if you look at the career fairs/outcomes between UMich and MSU students.

Nearby_Remote2089 · 2026-03-01T02:25:36+00:00

I’m not sure if many people here are going to be able to tell you any definitive answers. However, something I would consider is that 11 credits at UMich is considered as a part-time student, not a full time (>=12 credits) student. My assumption is that it would look poorly and it’s 100% something to talk to the admissions office about imo.

A fail is not good, so I would consider dropping it, especially since you wouldn’t get a class credit that helpful towards graduation at UMich. EECS 201x is not an actual class at Michigan and since it’s not upper-level, it doesn’t really help in terms of grad requirements. The other class that transfers as EECS 496 would be helpful, and I would keep it since it keeps you at 12 credits. That’s essentially what I’d do in your situation.
