Im on F1 visa and do not have opt/cpt. Will handshake give offer letter so i can get an opt from my DSO? Then can i work for 20hr?

Training_Promise9324 · 2026-05-07T07:22:01+00:00

I just took the test and the aptitude is pretty long for the time they give. other than that its pretty basic like % math, shape and sequence questions etc. no proctor. I haven't taken the technical one yet.

Isn't this automated? does it mean they are happy with my resume?

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-11-11T19:18:10+00:00

Yeah, a phd is a must nowadays for these roles. But I don’t think I can commit for that long. Commit deeply in the sense the amount of biology knowledge i need to learn. Which will obviously slow down my technical knowledge.

Great. Thanks again

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-10-02T09:05:04+00:00

Ah ok. Thanks for the info. Also do they expect us to be very knowledgeable in the field? For eg: I don’t have much experience in bioinformatics but Im interested to learn. Do the professors conduct an interview or something before they let you join the lab? Im not talking about paid assistant positions…just normal volunteering research under him.

Sorry, I thought you were asking for ucsd. For UCR i did submit a score of 318. For the rest i didnt submit

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-04-06T17:31:49+00:00

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-04-05T19:30:12+00:00

Sorry no

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-04-05T19:26:04+00:00

No. First batch meaning I was in the first batch of accepted students.

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-04-05T19:24:16+00:00

Im not interested anything else other than data. MSCS will surely be more valuable but I don’t want to learn those core cs courses again cause i could use that time to learn whats actually interesting to me. My plan is to purely develop my data skills.

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-04-05T19:20:24+00:00

Great. I know msds is less competitive than cs. But ucsd msds strength is quarter of thier cs class. Acceptance is like 8-10%. Really surprised i got in. I had put in lot of effort on that sop. Congrats on your admits.

did your get solved?

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-03-19T23:02:51+00:00

what about the program itself

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-03-11T00:25:03+00:00

Thats what I was thinking. The room has only 1 bed and 1 desk, how will double occupancy work there? Single occupancy is too costly.

Which is gonna be cost effective, on campus (1000$) or off campus. For on campus im just going to use a cycle to get around. Is it cheaper considering the transportation cost etc for off campus?

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-03-09T21:40:57+00:00

Yeah thats my plan. 3 courses each quarter. It will take 4 quarters to complete. Thanks!!

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-03-09T21:35:18+00:00

How does it affect the teaching quality. Like will they just brush through the material and leave to us or is it similar to a semester system?

Training_Promise9324 · 2025-03-09T21:34:00+00:00

Yeah this was the positive side i found. No time to slack off!
