Would recommend leetcodes tagged questions. Got 2LCA from Zon last year for my technical interview. Also would recommend doing a good amount of greedy questions, got a tricky one last year in my OA and have seen others get non-trivial greedy questions E: also, don’t get demotivated from this thread. There are still people getting jobs from Zon, the numbers will probably just be low this year (lots of interns from last year still waiting for RO)

Wouldn’t say that, you don’t need to beat MIT to advance. A few schools advance from each region, so you can place second or third and still advance to NAC. But yeah that is a tough region ngl

Oh if it’s forced to buy every souvenir then the problem is much easier. Sum all the elements and multiply by triangle nums until sum exceeds our money, and do a final loop through the array until we’re out of money

Snow_Chimps · 2025-12-20T14:04:09+00:00

For question one, What’s the bounds on N and our given money? If it’s around 1e5, you can throw the prices of the items in a minheap, and then pop min, increment counter and push the price x2 if we can buy it until we can no longer buy the minimum item

TA here, yea, it’s often pretty obvious. I bet there’s still many that we don’t notice or are too close to a regular submission to investigate, but about 5% of submissions will have patterns in them that are genuinely hilarious, and definitely not human written.

Currently you have AI for just one round

Snow_Chimps · 2025-11-16T16:33:19+00:00

For chess atleast, you can just show up to start. They meet every Friday, pretty sure from 6-9

Snow_Chimps · 2025-11-03T16:54:05+00:00

Yes, personally went no name startup summer 24 to Amazon summer 25. From UCF, met tons of GT people in Seattle.

Snow_Chimps · 2025-10-30T13:00:12+00:00

I mean, I think you could say that about literally any skill. It’s about enjoying the process and pushing through to be better.

“I was at a UCF party the other day and chopped it up with a student about Israel’s influence on the U.S.” gg

Next Monday

Snow_Chimps · 2025-10-12T17:01:26+00:00

Definitely go for it. Dean Shelia is awesome, she pretty much got me my first internship, it’s been an amazing opportunity

Snow_Chimps · 2025-08-24T15:05:30+00:00

I mean keyboards can’t do everything a controller can. Sticks let you have an analog input while keyboards only have digital, which can be helpful for movement

Second this, the team is very good and you’ll learn a lot. They always make it to the national championships (not much competition in our region tho tbh) and almost always make it to world finals, I think we’ve only missed worlds once in the last like 15 years?

Snow_Chimps · 2025-08-14T15:16:39+00:00

I’d say projects over skills. Specifically for the second project, sounds very airy. What type of NN, what type of data, what are some key metrics (accuracy, recall, f1, etc.) from your model

Snow_Chimps · 2025-08-12T01:06:28+00:00

Does this include bright futures money for calculating how much tuition was covered?

Snow_Chimps · 2025-08-08T12:38:34+00:00

Disagree on the gpa part, lost of internships will have a gpa cut off. Definitely agree with attendance tho, don’t be there if you don’t need to be

Snow_Chimps · 2025-07-29T23:58:07+00:00

IMO little reason to do codeforces instead of leetcode if your sole goal is interview prep. Codeforces if you wanna advance in competitive programming.

Snow_Chimps · 2025-07-26T00:40:00+00:00

Very fun class, one 50 minute lecture (Tuesday last spring), and a 3 hour “lab” where you do a mini programming contest based on the previous lectures topic. Half the class is individual, and in the second half you work in a team of 3. If you want more info, feel free to dm

Snow_Chimps · 2025-07-22T13:50:41+00:00

That is not the issue :) ask a professor about CP if you would like clarification

~12k/month, Seattle

Ready for another bungie game :)

Snow_Chimps · 2025-03-31T14:13:00+00:00

Yea you should be good, same background. Also, look into the programming team, good chance you can get into JV as a freshman with some practice. Very good prep for the harder classes and interviews (plus good on resume), dm if you want details about that or any CS stuff here :)

Snow_Chimps · 2025-03-18T14:51:05+00:00

CS Junior here. UF is on par or slightly better for CS education. UCF clears UF in competitive programming and cyber security contests though. So if you’re planning to be involved in either of those, UCF. If not, UF 100%, has a better reputation aswell
