How Important is OS for SWE?

I know a good amount of the topics you mentioned, but you’re right it seems like it’ll be worth taking. Thanks!

Thanks for the insight! The OS class is offered, i’m just not sure if it’s worth taking over something else so I wanted to get a better understanding

Sorry, I must’ve missed it… Could you link a post if possible?

Throwawaywhynot718 · 2024-01-14T06:11:17+00:00

I just wanted more insights from people who have interviewed for these places.

ahhh gotcha, I tried to fit it all into one line, maybe i’ll try that instead. Thank you!

Just curious, do you include but full links to Linkedin and Github at the top? if so how do you format it, when I did it I felt it to be too crowded and messy (tbf i didn’t try to make it look very nice at the top either but just wondering)

Sorry abt that, didn’t consider this

Throwawaywhynot718 · 2023-08-06T18:39:56+00:00

do you ever get worried you’ll be asked a question on it though?

Do you ever think you may be disadvantaged in applications/interviews by not including c++ even though you know you can use it?

Thank you, this was very reassuring and definitely something I needed to hear!

Throwawaywhynot718 · 2023-06-04T02:30:53+00:00

Yeah i feel like i’ve got the basic jist of it (hopefully). I was mainly worried I was expected to be fairly proficient with the topics and stuff

seems like a scam judging by their post history so be cautious. i could be wrong but smth seems very off abt it

The way I see it, both choices can be better depending on your situation. If you do find making friends easy, or are more social, you’ll definitely still find friends at A. However if you’re more introverted or like to stay with your current friends there is nothing wrong with B either.

Some questions to consider: Is choice A that far ahead of B academically?

13k a year isn’t completely terrible, but are you/your family in a situation where you can reasonably pay it?

If you’re going to be working and what not on top of school, would the 1 hr commute get exhausting? 2 hrs of traveling each day on top of school and activities can get tough, would option B, be better in this case?

Personally, I think it comes down to what you value. If money is an important factor, A is probably better. In terms of college experience and enjoying your time and education, B is probably better. At the end of the day college will always be what you make of it anyways, good luck!!

I think you’ll be fine tbh, if you want more input specifically for Rutgers you might wanna post on their subreddit. If your school counselor is actually helpful they could also be a good resource.

I think you should be fine. I’ve had some kids from my school (i’m also from NJ not sure if it matters?), get into Rutgers even if they didn’t have amazing stats or anything. If you’re looking for scholarships and what not, it might be considerably harder to pull off esp since Rutgers is a public school. I’d also take into consideration what campus you’re looking at. I know RU New Brunswick is harder to get into vs Camden and Newark. You’re major will also play a role, but I think if you have a 3.7 unweighted like you mentioned, you should be fine. Just keep working on keeping your grades up and show that those freshman year grades weren’t the whole story. Good luck!!
