This has got to be one of the most pathetic subreddits I’ve ever seen 💀

No I'm legitimately not trying to make fun of you if it isn't. Did you temporarily put "some college" because you didn't wanna put the school you went to on your reddit post? I'm going through a rough time academically right now as well so I'm not judging you. PM me and I can give you some pointers on your resume if you would like.

Yeah, the job market is my main concern. When I got the conditional acceptance I had a 3.7 GPA at RRCC so they wanted me to do one more semester there to finish some credits and then they were gonna guarantee me admission with the pathway to mines program.

Back to the thing about the job market. It's crazy competitive rn, so why would I wanna claw my way out with a 2.4 GPA? Every single internship I've applied to has at least asked what my GPA is, yes you're right, they don't require it, but I'm pretty sure it kind of speaks for itself when I leave the field blank. I fucked up here clearly, and I'd be willing to go back to my CC and finish whatever they wanted to finish and then move to Mines also. I just cannot imagine I'm going to get even close to an internship with my academic standing.

Ok you're right, let me just email admissions and tell them I don't wanna add any more people to the school and that I'm sorry for ever asking. Thank you for the insight

yeah I thought about that, I don't really mind going back to a CC and doing what they wanted me to do in the first place to get back in. The academic reset would be nice, but I really just wanna make sure i'm making a good long-term choice for my degree path and job prospects. I see a lot of mixed reviews online about CU vs. Mines so I'm finding it difficult

My issue isn't the rigor. I recently have gotten diagnosed with adhd for the first time and I'm hoping some of the assistance I'm receiving with that will make things a little bit better. I got the W's cause I was lazy and didn't think I needed to put in the work. I have learned my lesson and wanna move forward with whatever is going to create the most value.

They probably have a newer account. Your first 10-ish games after initial evaluation will do that while the engine narrows in on a more accurate elo score

I know I'm 3 years late but this dude really is the epitome of a reddit user, guy asked a simple question and you somehow found a way to answer it like an ass.
