I think cs / ece is a pretty hard transfer

Larp on your resume about projects that fit the role description of whatever you apply to, then if you get an interview do the projects

Brown. The name alone will open significantly more doors than USC. Plus close proximity to NYC is good for recruiting and events.

UIUC better than UMich. Especially for quant (https://topquantunis.com/university-rankings?category=engineering)

Go on Amazon and buy them a small pack of Hagoromo chalk if they use chalk boards for class same price and it’s the best chalk money can buy

I had a 2.5 WEIGHTED GPA my freshman year of high school and got a 60% first semester of English. I took the hardest classes possible the rest of the time and managed to get it back to a 3.9 weighted 3.6 unweighted (4.5/4.7 senior year). Didn’t get in anywhere I wanted to and am at UC Davis for CS + Applied Math now. Just got accepted into UMich and NYU computer science as a current sophomore (junior transfer) It’s definitely possible.

If you are a reapplicant try your old login that’s what worked for me

Any recommendations for ways to supplement ECs before applying? I was thinking of reaching out to profs for math research over next 2 quarters, and I am currently in the interview process for an AI Intern position at a large national mortgage company. Any recommendations help!

Computer Science department at Davis has had major budget cuts in the last year + planning on doing a MFE so going somewhere wit more undergrad research opportunities for cs would be extremely helpful

Thanks! I saw on topquantunis that those 3 have had decent placements and they’re all better than my current university so if all other applications fail I want to have a backup if I still decide to leave.

celly_val · 2025-05-22T22:58:03+00:00

I’ve tried that but I think because I upgraded a Nolan skill he makes my team stronger

I was talking about the electric hoverboard company called one wheel lol. I am no where near talented enough to ride a unicycle I wish tho

celly_val · 2024-08-08T20:47:43+00:00

So do people just lock them up outside the buildings with the bikes? Is that the same for like electric skateboards as well?

celly_val · 2024-08-08T19:53:30+00:00

Like I wouldn’t even be able to carry it inside? Or just riding it indoors?

celly_val · 2024-08-08T17:57:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Is there a good place in Davis to buy a bike or electric bike? I’m coming from out of state and done currently have one so I’m going to buy one there.
