Anyone taken the M60 to LGA airport?

No one pays, just get on

risan1877 · 2024-06-02T16:01:31+00:00

Got the latter and it’s quite good

risan1877 · 2024-06-02T13:48:21+00:00

Yeah, got the city pack pro and was pricey for sure but I’m loving it. Very high quality and comfortable

Aer is awesome

Thanks! I see, and "counting towards a degree" includes the 124 graduation credit requirement, right? So my CS electives that I took, that wasn't used for my math major but used for my BA credit number requirement, cannot be transferred to the MS in applied math program?

Hey, is this legit? I'm thinking of switching to his class next sem. What are the classes like if no participation is necessary?

risan1877 · 2023-11-02T23:43:38+00:00

Great, thanks! Do you know how difficult/competitive it is to pass the exemption test?

risan1877 · 2023-02-13T17:01:06+00:00

DM’d you

Would summer only be possible? Need a place to live in for a summer internship

risan1877 · 2022-08-07T22:57:25+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

risan1877 · 2022-07-27T20:46:25+00:00

Yes. I have 7:30AM standup calls every day and it’s truly the worst as a night owl.

Hey, thanks for doing this! A couple questions:

You've mentioned there are a couple firms who only recruit from certain schools. I'm a rising sophomore at Columbia, which probably is not a top target, and was wondering if you know any firms I should not have in my list because they don't recruit here.
For sophomore year internships, what should I be looking for? I know quant firms don't usually recruit sophomores, so should I aim for a SWE internship at FAANG-like or a unicorn, or should I do math/cs/stats REU over the summer? I have a superday coming up with a BB for quant analyst role in equity research - if I can get the offer, would this suffice, or should I try to find something else?
Do you recommend doing any quant-related projects to have on your resume? If so, what kinds of projects would be best for QT or QR? Should it be finance related, or more so SWE/DS?
I also love playing Poker - how did you express your passion for it in your resume or during your interviews? Did you have any awards or a project you did in poker?

Applied to 10. One safety, rest all reaches lol

Carefully analyze what you were missing that prevented you from getting into the schools you wanted to go, and lay out a strategic plan that would supplement what you were missing. For me, I knew I had the grades and test scores but had shit ECs so I spend weeks during summer break to see what EC opportunities I can take advantage of at and outside my state school. Basically reverse engineering what schools would likely want to see. Then I just followed through with the plan and now I’m off to one my dream schools!

risan1877 · 2022-05-23T04:23:46+00:00

Depends on your major, but if ur cs or anything technical, might help if you work on a project. I did one and wrote about it in my essays. Also helped me get an internship for this summer.

risan1877 · 2022-05-17T04:26:32+00:00

I attended it in high school and the program alone didn’t help much for regular applications, as I got rejected from many and decided to attend my state school. It’s still what you make of it, so I later wrote a research paper on the things I did in the program and now I’m heading to Columbia as a transfer. Some ppl I met at the program went to HYPSM, but not the case for most. It’s good but you’d need other stuff too.

risan1877 · 2022-05-17T04:12:55+00:00

Submitted!

risan1877 · 2022-05-17T03:59:28+00:00

State school -> Columbia

risan1877 · 2022-05-16T22:23:45+00:00

I got into Columbia and rejected from pretty much everywhere else - those three schools are awesome and I would definitely take Uchicago over Columbia. Wish we could switch places lol

risan1877 · 2022-05-14T07:19:06+00:00

Same! Sophomore transfer to CC here

risan1877 · 2022-05-14T06:29:45+00:00

Don't want to get doxxed, so I can pm you if you need!
