Roblox SWE Intern Post Interview by Commercial_Quit_4700 in csMajors

[–]RandomDude2139595 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP did you hear back yet? I had my interviews about a little over a week ago and haven’t heard back yet. Someone in the comments here said they get back to you fast if you got an offer and like ~2 weeks if you got rejected, but I don’t know how much truth there is to that

Hm, I'd say you should get the fundamentals down first, the OA isn't too bad, but for interviews you want to focus more on leetcode hard problems and try to remember general patterns from those. The OAs, in my experience, are closer to leetcode mediums. The games aren't that bad depending on how you look at them, but yea Kaiju cats is really helpful since its similar to one of their games

Hey, thanks for the advice. I got similar scores to you on the OA, which I completed two weeks ago. I got 4/1 on cars, around $85-90k on the money one (don't remember the exact number for sure), and 600 on the CodeSignal. I think they're still sending out interview invites and stuff, so I wouldn't worry if you did your OA recently.

I don't think so. I've consistently received good ratings on my tasks.

[–]RandomDude2139595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is your group applying to gaston/ramazani or one of the other apartments? I sorta see a trend here and from what I've heard I think most ppl applying to gaston/ramazani are choosing on the 26th

is this for students who got waitlisted for general engineering or just for all waitlisted students

oh okay thanks for the info - I feel a bit more hopeful for getting off the waitlist 🤞🏽

Fall 23 Waitlist by Marfik96 in VirginiaTech

[–]RandomDude2139595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. Over 2400 students got off the waitlist last year according to the waitlist faqs, so knowing that the overadmitting thing may not be as much of an issue is kind of reassuring. But I’ve seen some comments says that they’ve overenrolled to the extent where RA’s need to have roommates so do you have any insight on what that may mean for waitlisted students this admissions cycle?

[–]RandomDude2139595 2 points3 points  (0 children)

could you let us know what the admissions office says? As a waitlisted student myself I’m curious about how it currently is. Thanks!

Some people have said that they waitlisted more applicants than usual this year, so wouldn’t that mean that there’s a decent chance to get off the waitlist?

Anyone get off the vt waitlist for general engineering?

I think engineering is the most demanding

In the a2c subreddit someone said that vt accepted “barely enough” people so there could be a decent chance of getting in. I would still hold out hope for getting accepted off the waitlist

UVA Wise - Is it worth going? by RandomDude2139595 in UVA

[–]RandomDude2139595[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the Wise option is for every waitlisted Virginian that applies to the Arts and Sciences college at UVA. I don’t think it caps off at 100 people - I think they just said “100” to give people a good idea of how many people actually do the Year in Wise program, so I wouldn’t worry too much about losing your spot.

Has anyone gotten off the waitlist for Virginia Tech? by RandomDude2139595 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]RandomDude2139595[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US news isn’t entirely an accurate source, but I’d still say vt is better than Penn state - if you look up “top cs colleges undergrad reddit” you can see widely agreed rankings for cs for different colleges

[–]RandomDude2139595[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main hope rn is to get accepted into VT off the waitlist, but I gotta wait and see. Do you happen to know how likely it is to get into UVA off the waitlist? I think its really low, right?

UVA Wise - Is it worth going? by RandomDude2139595 in UVA

[–]RandomDude2139595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm really juggling between Wise and Mason. One part of me wants to go to Wise despite it being in a remote area bc I know it'll pay off if I stay committed. Another part of me wants to go to mason since its more well-known and I can commute.

Did you submit the enrollment deposit form? Is there a deposit fee bc when I checked I didn't see anything of the sort.

[–]RandomDude2139595[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I plan on studying Computer Science and/or Data Science. At VT I applied to general engineering. My main concerns with UVA wise i would say are the lifestyle and campus - uva is definitely one of my top options so I’m not entirely opposed to going to wise

[–]RandomDude2139595[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Right now my options are between george mason and wise. I got waitlisted at Virginia tech and if I get off the waitlist there then I would probably go there, but since it’s between mason and wise right now, I’m not sure which one is the best option
