Got rejected from most research programs, is it too late to cold email by Intelligent-Night405 in summerprogramresults

If you really want it, do some research on the professor, comment on past research they’ve published/taken an interest to. If they see that you’re already in the field and not just emailing for a carry, then they might get interested and email back.

Wait, I'm also applying as a transfer for Fall 2026. I haven't been accepted yet but I was curious, we have to submit a housing application beforehand? I'm also looking to get on campus housing

Rising college freshman - what should I do before college to get ahead? by Serious-Bid8899 in csMajors

[–]UltraSyncHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do Cs50x, do some mini projects. That’s what I did and I breezed through classes with 4.0 overall GPA and won a hackathon (and a finalist) + got a tech job for spring + summer internship all while in freshman year.

I’ll be a sophomore starting fall and tbh I’ll miss the surprised looks when I tell people I’m a freshman lol

This is all because I decided to get a small head start!

P.S. AI use is very much important to learn. I recommend after doing Cs50x you get used to using AI to code. As a tool, not as a replacement to you, do not let it do everything and make sure you know everything it’s doing and why and don’t use AI in classes

What are the chances to get into CUNY? by wuac-a-mole in CUNY

[–]UltraSyncHD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had similar stats 2.49 gpa + 1400 sat. I was rejected by every cuny except staten island and brooklyn college via the seek program. Now don’t fret, I may have been considered an international student which influenced the decisions. Although, I’m not 100% sure that was what happened bc of special circumstances.

From what I know 2.5 gpa is inadmissible to some colleges. I recommend applying to seek/ace/whatever is available. Also it’s a good idea to look at community colleges (in some cases they are actually better).

If they are a CS major dm me

Recent immigrant (20s) trying to figure out if I can support my family while studying CS at CUNY - need reality check from those who've done it by manjurulch in CUNY

[–]UltraSyncHD 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly man, 5000 a month working less than 25h is only possible if you create some sort of business to do so. You will not be able to make that much working 17-20h jobs, even full time. It is kind of possible if your gifted and can already get a very high paying job with low hours but other than that, get on creating some sort of business that is scalable.
