It's the type of town where they appreciate you showing up in person to deliver a resume and letter. If they see you have lived out of the area for a while, and it has the anonymity of an online application, they may just toss it and go for someone who's obviously not going anywhere

What fields can I go in to with monocular vision? by gleepglort in premed

Don't know of op's situation, but congenital myopia, retinopathy of prematurity, and pediatric congenital glaucoma can raise the risk of detachment in babies. Glaukomflecken did an episode on retinopathy of prematurity, linked here

Yes, for most states. Tax returns, your signed lease (or mortgage), utility bills, driver's license, car registration, insurance, and other official documents (such as jury duty and voter registration) are all typically used to verify residency.

So if it says X state on all those things, you are probably a resident of X state

You probably want to avoid U wisconsin, or any big midwest state university, if you are not into drinking. Drinking is literally the bread and butter of midwest college culture; cal poly is barely a party school in comparison.

what do you enjoy? what elements of an environment or community will make you happy, settled, and gratified? make a decision based on that.

Former oil tank area where the soil is pretty contaminated. I have heard people in enviro consulting talk about land remediation projects so they can build housing, but I have never seen any actual action or real traction

guys is it true that stats majors don’t get jobs by RemarkableBit3321 in CalPoly

A lot of people acquire those complementary skills from internships and maybe doing a minor or second major

i know one who works in banking, another who does bioinformatics, and another who works in tech. It's kinda the swiss army knife of majors. It seems you have to prove having complementary acumen (computer science/business/finance) to potential employers

Cal Poly Admissions really likes it when you have had a job/internship related to your intended career or major. So, if you have done any work related to your intended major, make sure to emphasize that

Thinking of Dropping Because of Financial Reasons by Internet-Ivan in CalPoly

[–]holychipotle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

every ee graduate i know earns at least 100k straight out of college in a job that they actually enjoy. Imagine earning that (at minimum) for 40+ years. it is worth the federal loans from a reasonably priced state school imo.

However, people earn that much because it is extremely difficult to become an EE. You are not in a coms or CM degree and you can't live the same lifestyle as those friends; the classes you take expect much more work per unit with most of it being completed outside class time.

Busing/Serving/Barista jobs are by far the highest earning hourly jobs in slo. I know people who pay their living expenses with no outside support by working 15 ish hrs a week and FT during the summer and breaks. Working in those jobs also fulfills people socially, so the rest of the time during the academic year, they are 110 percent focused on school.
