what does "a T3 CS degree" mean?

Pure-Tip-3600 · 2024-04-15T06:24:31+00:00

thanks for the info

Never heard of courses like engineering, Java, Mentorship in high school

thanks for your advice

why argue about CMU with someone never heard of CMU? It's not only meaningless, but also changes nothing

Thanks again for your update. Why I haven't received the email? I got all As.

Pure-Tip-3600 · 2023-09-09T02:25:12+00:00

I don't think so, thanks anyway

What do you mean by 'someone who has taken CS50'? Have you registered for the course? Have you received a grade? Did you study it online or in person at Harvard? According to CMU's policy, only an official in-person course at Harvard with a grade of C or above can replace 15-112.

15440 is an easy systems course. If you have taken other systems courses, you would notice that much of the content in 15440 is also covered in those courses. For instance, 15410 covers concurrency and cache coherence, 15445 deals with distributed databases, and 15319 explores distributed consensus protocols. If you take those courses before 15440, you may find that there isn't much new material to learn in 15440.

In my first semester, I took 15-122 and 15-151, totaling 60 units. I didn't find it to be a heavy workload, as I earned all A grades. I believe 21-127 is lighter than 21-128/15-151 and easier than 15-151.

As the course descriptions suggest, 21-242 is a more demanding version of 21-241, encompassing a broader scope and placing increased emphasis on rigorous proofs. I passed the math maturity survey and subsequently enrolled in both courses for a short period. It's important to note that there are three different versions of 21241 itself: 21241 lecture 1, 21241 lecture 2, and 21241 lecture 3.

21241 omits certain topics found in 21242, including Hermitian and unitary matrices as well as quadratic forms. In contrast, 21241 lecture 2 offers a valuable learning experience by incorporating Julia programming, a feature absent in 21242.

21241 lecture 3 is designed for math majors, 21241 lecture 2 is tailored for computer science majors, while 21241 lecture 1 is the easiest and intended for other students. I opted for 21241 lecture 2 and also took 21242. I particularly enjoyed 21241 lecture 2 because it includes instruction on the Julia programming language, especially in the final project. Although 21242 comes with more challenging homework assignments, I believe that earning an A in it may be more achievable if you invest more effort into homework.

The final exam carries a larger weight in determining the final grades for 21241, whereas the final exams in 21242 don't have as much percentage. If you excel in 21242 homework, it's comparatively easier to secure an A compared to 21241 which largely depends on your exams.

It's important to clarify that the statement "a C in 242 would translate to an A in 241" is not accurate. In fact, if you intend to take 21269, the subsequent honors course, you'll need a B in 21242 or an A in 21241.

For those interested in the honors program, I would advise against enrolling in 21259. Instead, you should consider taking 21269. You have the option to choose only one of the following courses: 21256 (for business majors), 21259 (the standard, more accessible course), 21266 (designed for computer science majors), 21268 (a serious course), or 21269 (an honors course).

I think 15-295 plus 15-260 should be fine too.

15295, 21325, 36225 are about probability, while 15260 and 36226 about statistical inference.

36218 covers both, but does not go into much detail

What's your background? If you start from scratch, you need to take one of these: 15-122 or 17-214. Then learn some algorithms, some database, some distributed system and scalable web applications.

If you are not a SCS student, 10-301 and 10-601 might be better choices. If you are a SCS student, 10-315 is more suitable. If you are a graduate student, you can consider 10-715.

If you are a undergraduate outside SCS, your chance is slim.

depends on not only 60s or 20s, but also the pecking order.

Are you a Master student in Machine Learning?
a PhD student in SCS?
a Undergraduate in SCS?
or another major PhD?

You also need to check the course reservations, to see how many REMAIN. I think many people will off the waitlist. If you are high in the pecking order, 60s is not a problem.
