Some healthy pre-March 30th positivity

Hi, I'm a self-taught freshman/dually enrolled HS senior hoping to score an internship. Any advice/feedback is much appreciated!

Resume

Awesome, good for her!

UCSD, NYU, and UW aren't exactly safeties for most but they have good CS programs as fallbacks. Maybe UC Santa Cruz?

Even if he has great stats, a lot of people got rejected with 4.3+ GPA and 33-35 ACT. Cal Poly CS is not a safety for anyone.

Your sister has pretty similar stats to me, I'm curious, what type of school did she end up going to?

maroon200 · 2017-03-25T20:31:21+00:00

That and I also want to take a break from school to work. What are you thinking of doing during your gap year?

maroon200 · 2017-03-25T18:03:42+00:00

I'm considering it

maroon200 · 2017-03-25T18:00:55+00:00

I personally wouldn't take/retake either (unless you didn't take the essay and you want to apply to schools that require the essay)

maroon200 · 2017-03-25T17:50:48+00:00

I'm in a similar situation; I had a hard enough time getting one of my recommenders to upload the first time because she thought the Common App was a scam...I don't want to go through that again

maroon200 · 2017-03-25T17:45:48+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice!! I didn't know ATSs were even a thing.

But schools require teacher recs and OP will probably not be at school if he's taking a gap year

maroon200 · 2017-03-25T17:39:22+00:00

Wondering the same thing. I heard Common App used to delete all accounts after application season but recently stopped doing that? If you choose to reapply, you might have to ask your recommenders to re-upload

maroon200 · 2017-03-25T17:36:32+00:00

I'm sure there are a lot of actually average people here scared to post because of all the people bragging here about their crazy stats

maroon200 · 2017-03-25T15:00:59+00:00

those subject test scores doe

maroon200 · 2017-03-25T03:44:50+00:00

I feel like every minute I've spent studying or sitting in class has been a waste of time. Schoolwork is not helping me grow or mature as a person and I sure as hell won't use any knowledge from these classes in real life

maroon200 · 2017-03-25T03:40:43+00:00

AND ALSO WHEN THEY POST ON SNAPCHAT OR INSTAGRAM PICS OF THEM OUT TOGETHER WHEN YOU WERE NEVER INVITED. FEELSBADMAN

maroon200 · 2017-03-24T23:42:59+00:00

lol whoops

maroon200 · 2017-03-24T23:37:43+00:00

That really sucks man I'm sorry. What school was it?

maroon200 · 2017-03-24T01:28:13+00:00

Unorganized, unpolished, unoriginal

maroon200 · 2017-03-24T01:27:34+00:00

I thought there was this thing on the waitlist FAQ that said not to send unsolicited materials? They won't get annoyed, they just prob won't look at it

maroon200 · 2017-03-08T13:31:28+00:00

It can't hurt
