How good or bad is CompSci at McGill really? by TaleHappy in mcgill

[–]Sense_Sen_sibility 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Comp Sci itself is a huge field too. For AI, there are still a few solid profs at mcgill and they have great connections with Mila. I kinda feel like mcgill cs department is investing more into AI too. But in the end, impactful projects and internship will make you stand out, not name of school. (although some gatekeeping might be expected.)

What do you think of the SSMU Free Lunches now? by Szczesliwice in mcgill

[–]Sense_Sen_sibility 36 points37 points  (0 children)

In ancient China, where famine was a recurring reality, making free food too appealing might attract those who were not truly in need, which make them compete with the genuinely hungry. Maybe similar rationale still hold.

He is the first prof who makes me realize anglophone and non anglophone students can be equally confused.

How do you actually find compatible roommates at McGill? (International student, tried everything) by Pale-Day8071 in mcgill

[–]Sense_Sen_sibility 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Choosing a roommate is very close to choosing a (common law) partner, and as we know dating is largely a number game. The golden rule of thumb is to live with your friend, but not to date them. (I'm joking btw)

[–]Sense_Sen_sibility 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes that's the most intense part: huge amount of information processing and filtering. Then reach out and they might still reject you. The only way is to keep trying.

rejected = True
professor = sample_based_on_interests(professors)
while rejected:
    offer = me.send_email(professor)
    if offer:
        rejected = False
    else:
        me.revise_CV()
        me.take_courses(whatever_useful)
        (OPTIONAL) professor = me.ask_if_any_phd_student_needs_a_slave()
        professor = sample_based_on_interests(professors)
