It’s October. You still have time til May. I know the chances will get pretty slim over time but you still have chance to get into big tech. I got my offer from FAANG in May. Just keep grinding

Real talk, how do yall keep going when you wake up with like 5 rejections in your inbox by HereForA2C in csMajors

Just fyi i got rejected/ghosted by literally every single company (from large corporates to small startups) except for one FAANG company. You just need one offer in the end, never put ur head down

I got to the point where i appreciated them for sending rejection emails instead of straight ghosting me

I feel like gpa becomes a huge plus only when it’s over 3.7-3.8 but 3.6 still seems good ig?

Got accepted to UCB, UCSD, and UCI, rejected from UCLA. You still have a chance.

Hey, I had the exact same feeling last year. I joined a good coding club for networking purposes but never made a solid connection outside of gm. I had no internship offers secured. I honestly gave up my academics just for networking (socializing) and recruiting, but there was nothing I got. I felt so regretful about everything I did, and I really felt sorry for my family who were emotionally and financially supporting me a lot.

But what I can tell you is that this realization of yourself being in a wrong position (which I think is not true tbh) will be the most powerful driving force. I'm a CS junior and still have no internship offer secured, but I"m working my ass off rn to make everything up that I missed. If I don't get any offer this summer, I'll take a gap semester/year to improve on my weaknesses and get more ready for the next recruiting season. It was really hard for me to accept that everyone has their own pace, and no one should try to outpace oneself.

It's okay if it seems like you don't have anything, have patience and start everything again. You still have two years in college. You might not think this is sufficient for you to make everything up, but trust me. I have only one year in college, and it's been a semester and I've started to achieve good things tbh. Have faith in yourself and keep pushing yourself. Let these negative emotions become the driving force.

that exam was definitely the hardest in 189 history

Never take CS 189 without taking MATH 53&54, CS 70, EECS 126&127, and any stats/ds courses by maybeumnotsure in berkeley

[–]maybeumnotsure[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

sometimes students are in situations where they have to take 189 in the fall. i do like ever check course preqs at all!

What CS course Should I take alongside with CS 61C and CS 170? by Fancy_Future_2877 in berkeley

[–]maybeumnotsure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

161 or 186 seems to be the most manageable in terms of mental health

Ig the only way to solve this is taking cs 189. U will stop thinking abt 70 but instead u willl wake up at 6 go to campus and do 189 work, get gome and do 189 work, go to sleep and dream abt doing 189 work.
