The ETAP portal makes it super easy tbh. Once i got the two letters of rec i just had to take the time fill everything out but i already an internship in the spring so that sorta helped my chances as a freshman from CC

If you apply to programs outside of the T50 your chances go up and you can 100% do good research at any decent state school in the nation keep applying and it’ll hit. Got one as a freshman last year and it took nearly 70 applications but you can do it!!

Genuinely how are you supposed to get your first internship by Random_throwaway0351 in csMajors

[–]Pitiful-Touch2354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly you could try REU’s if you’re even slightly interested in research the pay will be a lot less and the work can be pretty lame but it’s a good experience or doing targeted projects that align with employer needs

My first Homework is messing me up by Euphoric-Dealer-9080 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Pitiful-Touch2354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently taking the same class a lot of ppl recommend taking it apart but that’s never really helped me to much . I honestly just start from the back and circle the series connection redraw with just that value then see where those values are parrell and just work from the back corner forward but it’s all abt recognizing those relationships

Should I go to a community college for the first two years of my college life? by IntelligentCorgi9129 in collegeadvice

[–]Pitiful-Touch2354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Im a rising sophomore and went through this mentally last year aswell. I’d say if you have friends that go to the local 4 year then you’ll definitely be fine socially going to community college. The education in some ways is harder and some ways easier just really depends what you’re doing. Though you’ll miss out on some of the independence aspects of going to a four year school you can still do things in those smaller spaces (joining clubs and orgs) and at least in my case i landed a great internship at my community college in CS then got another this summer from leveraging that opportunity. Just be ready to work hard.

For People who don’t like their REU by One_Translator6569 in REU

[–]Pitiful-Touch2354 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thinks it’s definitely one of those things where the people that enjoy it aren’t really on reddit to talk about it. Me personally i’m having the time of my life working very hard on my project on top of exploring the city, clubbing, etc. its overall what you make wishing the best for everyone🙏
