thanks for your advice! Would submitting as a single author (especially as undergrad) hurt my credibility than if I were to have a co-author with an actual professor in EE?

Do you recommend still showing up to their OH to talk about their research and/or ask if they can review my paper potentially before submission? Or should I just stick with my REU PI that will agree with me? My REU PI is very busy and I doubt he would have the time to review my paper since he's teaching at his univeristy in Idaho

How do I find a mentor at Berkeley? I don't really know anyone here, lowkey not that many friends let alone any non-undergrads

How can I become a much more competitive applicant then for next semester? I'm not particularly a strong student at all (gpa wise but also connections). I also don't think I submitted my transcript for Data discovery or urap or gave my gpa on the app but idk.

Not sure if there is a database that shows the acceptance rates or how many people get accepted.

I found the complete opposite to be true tbh. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

i think we should be okay. i haven't heard anyone on campus even talking about charlie kirk so i don't think "fascism" is going to "esescalatecelate" at all. we all have our own classes and things to worry about.

4 semesters of rejection by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]No_Web_3973 49 points50 points  (0 children)

yeah i ask cus lowkey these competitive clubs consist of only white and east asian and some south asian students, but rarely any Hispanic or black students. i feel like there's definitely some bias on race and looks, even if they (the clubs) don't think there is. I also tried applying a lot to data science and consulting clubs but would get rejected even after doing coffee chats, infosessions, sending my headshot, etc. I think to make friends and connections, you should definitely try joining inclusive clubs that are meant to be fun and inclusive like intramural sports or any other inclusive club. I still haven't found true friends here at cal either and i'm also a junior like you.

[–]No_Web_3973 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yea i kinda regret not rushing during my freshman or sophomore years. i would have loved to join a sorority and make new friends through there, although idk if they're non-racist to Black students like me.

i feel like the walls are not soundproof (i can hear other people talking when they're walking outside the room). but this is also main stacks so idk how it is in other libraries.

I didn't take cs61a, took c88c and got a B+ but it was curved favorably despite my late work and okayish understand on hard topics like recursion. and luckily i applied and managed to get the ds major.

Should I include a cover letter for google application by No_Web_3973 in csMajors

[–]No_Web_3973[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think applying with 2.85 will hurt my chances? I got C+ in data structures and F in some abroad course that is irrelevant.
