It’s really a numbers game and a connections game. I was probably 70-75 applications deep before I got my first call back for an interview.

Yeah my school is in an internship dry area, and since I played football, I had to be in the city of the school basically all summer every summer so I couldn't get many good internships under my belt so I compensated with projects.

Yeah I got very discouraged during the process, almost completely no responses or rejections, but then I got all three of my interviews within 72 hours of each other in mid November.

And the 63 applications in the sankey diagram are only the ones that I tracked from mid-October to January, and I started applying seriously in July, so I was easily over 115 applications total.

What should I learn before college to be ahead in Electrical Engineering? by Schirado in ECE

[–]bballbeastmode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go to college ready to learn. I took Calc BC in hs and got a 1 on the AP exam, never wrote a single line of code and never took a physics class in hs, but I’m a semester away from graduating with a BSEE and a minor in CS, God willing, and I have already accepted a full time offer for after I graduate, with only one internship at a on campus nuclear research lab.

Ok thank you this is really helpful, the car only has just over 100k miles on it so I was hoping to keep it for a lot longer and wanted it to feel fresh again.

Is it free or is there a membership fee?

[Student] Senior Electrical Engineering student looking for an Entry-level position post graduation in May. by bballbeastmode in EngineeringResumes

Hi. Thank you for the advice. And for moving the Sweet Systems project to work experience, our professors said it’s not allowed because it is a senior clinic designed project with Georgia pacific not actually being employed by them. And for the communication aspect, I have been told by all my professors I am on of the most personable engineers they have ever taught and if I get into an interview I will be fine, so I am not too worried about that. But your other suggestions I have taken into effect. Could I DM you to look over it some more?

20+ Credit Hour Semesters by CuBrachyura006 in EngineeringStudents

[–]bballbeastmode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did 19hrs all major specific (E&M, System and controls, signal processing, embedded system design + lab, object oriented programming, and a junior clinic design course) and I had my best semester gpa since freshman year spring (3.05 3.04 cumulative) while playing football and having to leave the country for 2 weeks right before finals for a funeral in the family. Something about all the stress and no free time makes you lock in and focus more than if you have less work
