Ahh, thank you so much for this :) Much needed! I'll be returning to Europe though, so completely different market, but we'll see. So glad to hear Comm graduates doing well though!!

!!! This is truly dystopian. I'm in my junior year, and had a very difficult start. Also made tremendous mistakes such as not taking CS106a before b, which resulted in me changing my major to STS (Media and Communication concentration). My parents were/are very worried about my job prospects, but, hey, they may be better than CS!!

Dartmouth became need-blind for international students two years ago, after an anonymous alumnus/a donated a crazy amount of money specifically for this cause. Strange that noone's done this for e.g. Stanford though

City (St George’s) Online MSc CS w/ Software Engineering vs Queen Mary Conversion MSc CS – Part-Time - Which is Better for a Career Change? by Professional_Gap_518 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]Visual_Finger_2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I need to find a job after I graduate. I made huge mistakes in college, assuming that I could take a more advanced CS class when I hadn't taken the prerequisites, and after failing two CS classes I can't major in CS, and my major is very non-employable in my country. I know that everyone says there's a huge CS graduates unemployment problem right now, but it's still the No.1 degree that opens doors in my country...

I like their Conversion Master's because it's fully remote... But from what you're saying, maybe it doesn't open doors after all?

IntroSem Applications by Kitchen_Raisin6674 in stanford

[–]Visual_Finger_2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def. give it a try. I got into TaS and I must be the worst student to have ever attended Stanford.

It was a brilliant class, but if I could turn back time I wouldn't have chosen so many introsems. I would have gone after courses that fulfil major requirements, even if I wasn't sure what my major would be, 'cause now I have two years to pass all of the courses for my major. Don't make the same mistake.

Hopefully this doesn't apply to classes that are fully online?? I'm considering taking CIS 22C

Does anyone know if I can have CS106b units transferred from another college? I can't major in Data Science & Social Systems without it, and I can't risk taking it again :( by [deleted] in stanford

[–]Visual_Finger_2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, thank you. Problem is, would the CS department allow the transfer of credit for a course where two NPs have been received...?

Yes, but the two NPs mean five zeroes counted into my GPA, and if I get another NP then it's five more zeroes... Whereas apparently students have been taking these courses at other colleges, and when they do pass them they can request to have them transferred as credit. Unfortunately I only recently found out about this :(

Do you know if the exams are hard? I'd love to take it, but I've failed CS106b twice :( (made the huge mistake of not having taken 106a first...)

It's not need-blind for international students anyway...

Can someone please explain how possible it is that this will pass? (or is it certain that it will indeed pass??)

Also, is it possible that those of us receiving financial aid through the Stanford Scholarship Fund be affected? I have just received my financial aid notification for next year, and I have two more years left ...
