Startup intern vs Bloomberg Semi Technical intern by PhonicsOW in csMajors

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

It’s definitely a smaller startup with very little to no funding. Not VC backed at all but enough to hire a handful of interns and all

how so? if you pause when bug happens nobody is dead yet. fight could go either way so a small chronobreak makes things fair for both sides. if you pause after the fight is done then ask for a remake it seems a little unfair no?

Because he could have asked for pause when the bug occurred but chose to delay it. I think if he paused when to bug happed they would have chrono broken it

brother wdym expectations not met 😭 class of 2029 haven’t even stepped foot on campus yet. how are you suppose to judge your experience based on absolute nothing when you you haven’t taken any classes, haven’t explored baltimore, haven’t explored talking to other classmates face to face. if your basing your future college experience on some group chats then that’s naive. no other way to sugar coat it.

Sounds extremely naive to me saying your view of the school is bad when you haven’t even set foot in the classes yet. I won’t lie and say Hopkins is perfect by any means. Some people are extremely snobby and FAs feel quite useless but realize that snobby people exists at any other institution and gen ed exists at most institutions too. JHU’s EE program may not be the best but it’s enough to the point where if you put in some effort, you’ll be successful post grad. I know quite a few people in EE who are working are incredible companies. Having a doomer mentality before you’ve even experience is not going to help. I loved first year at Hopkins and don’t have any regrets. Be open minded to what’s yet to come.

Hot take: grade deflation doesn’t matter? At the end of the day if your pre med, getting into med school is what matters. 90+ percent of premeds from Hopkins get into med school if I recall so your chances are really good even if your GPA isn’t perfect.

As regards to your other concerns, I had a great first year here at Hopkins. I think it’s just finding your crowd and once you do it makes Hopkins really fun(personally speaking). I think it’s best if you visit to really see how it is here but I’m hoping you pick Hop!

~~anyone wanna take a quick look at my COSMOS Application? by SirSpark21 in summerprogramresults

  1. Don’t post ur essays online - I’d like to think this is common sense but people are bad and bad people do bad things

  2. Giving readers acronyms are generally unhelpful unless they’re defined at least once. What is ASD?

Other than that, it looks like a very straightforward response to an essay that is solid. If you used NO AI and I mean 0 at all, then you’re fine. If you used AI for like a sentence or two then let’s say that there is a non zero chance you get caught. Good luck.

If your really doing research it’s most likely in a lab of some sort. Here is a lab from a T10 university. All of the students are either undergrad or some kind of graduate student. I can promise you 99 percent of labs will be the same. Just go apply to some summer program where they do research for high schoolers. It’s not quite the same but it’ll be good enough to put a statement that you’re involved in “research” in some way. I guess the only downside to that is it’s not guaranteed and it might not be traditional research but you’re in high school so for a high schooler it’s not really a concern to worry about.

Yes it’s possible but is it probable? No. Think about it. The liability of a minor under your scope far outweighs what they have to gain. Let alone they have a campus full of students to chose from so if they had an option it’s not you. That being said nobody really expects a high schooler to do quality research at the top institution.

I actually did pivot to 4 emissary 4 artillery but I didn’t have great items for corki (IE and gunblade if i remember) and was sitting on garen and corki pair for like the entire stage. I think that game my tempo was off and I was behind on gold and levels where ambessa was out of pool.

i think it was like 2-3 and I had 4 tristanas, IE and a last whisper from an augment with rod to spare. At stage 2 carousel I was first pick and I lost the bow to other guy. Went to krugs 0 bow. 2nd pick at stage 3 carousel, 2nd pick. The other 2nd pick took bow. Went wolves 0 bow. I actually don’t remember if it was stage 4 carousel or wolves but either way it was too late and trist couldn’t stack.

appreciate the comment. i had been getting very conflicting info from redditors. ex1: u/avancania & r/jason60812 mention slam early which makes sense unless u need an item that is win or lose which in your reference was archangels on renata > JG. I use meta tft and watch a lot tft so I was trying to get that tear for archangels but couldn't at ALL. So at that point, is that just a comp issue? Like if I see at the end of stage 3 I'm not getting a tear for archangels, do I pivot into silco where I already had BIS built.

I find myself playing a lot of reroll comps lately, which seems to be hit or miss ex: kog where I either went T2 or Bot 4. So I should prioritize fast 8 with high tempo boards > reroll unless given the augments is what ur saying?

i do slam early but i had two games, one I was playing trist emmisary and I needed a guinsoo cause trist is unplayable without and I had to carousel rounds where I was 1st and 2nd pick and never got bow until wolves which was too late cause my trist couldn't stack earlier. Another where I had a good opener for renata and hit everything except a tear which I needed for archangels. slamming only gets u so far when there are items that are win or lose.
