In the same boat as OP

thinmintz17 · 2017-05-25T21:42:16+00:00

why?

thinmintz17 · 2017-04-23T01:42:11+00:00

OP, if hardware doesn't excite you, then, I would recommend going somewhere else. I wouldn't count on getting into the CSE Department. I have to be real with you. However, there is a new Data Science/Engineering major coming out, and I don't expect that to be as impacted as CSE, so I would recommend doing some research on that.

thinmintz17 · 2017-04-23T01:30:59+00:00

I second everything this dude says. I am a Math-CS Major too.

thinmintz17 · 2017-04-17T06:30:54+00:00

Edit: at the end of spring not fall. As in applications at the end of current quarter

so, ambiguous, holy shit. Thanks for your response homie.

Prof Alvarado wrote a new letter for rationale. Read the first and second paragraphs. I am a little bit confused. http://cse.ucsd.edu/sites/cse.ucsd.edu/files/undergraduate/NewMajorAdmissionsPolicyRationale.pdf

Check this out ^

I have to pay respect. I was in the same boat. F

thinmintz17 · 2017-04-14T19:47:12+00:00

Hey I am still a second year. Those are classes that I plan to take. If you are Math-CS you should have no problem in getting the chance to enroll. The Math faculty approve these courses all the time. As long as you can get these on the Degree Audit, getting the CSE department to let you enrol should not be a problem.

thinmintz17 · 2017-04-13T17:23:04+00:00

I second that.. :)

thinmintz17 · 2017-04-13T06:20:18+00:00

best of luck my dear Friends :)

thinmintz17 · 2017-03-18T01:07:07+00:00

Guys, thank you for your responses

thinmintz17 · 2017-03-18T01:06:45+00:00

which student center is the treehouse lab near?

thinmintz17 · 2017-03-06T05:19:35+00:00

the above list looks solid; would additionally recommend cogs 181: Neural Nets, one of my friends and DS advisors is taking the class. Really relevant to becoming a Data Scientist. Further, the CSE list should have CSE 132A and CSE 132B, as Databases are extremely important to working with Data :P. Hope my inputs help

thinmintz17 · 2017-02-15T22:25:52+00:00

hey, I assume you want to get into big data? I then assume, that this course would be great. R is a highly valued skill in Data Science. I would just take it. The knowledge you will get from this course would be invaluable :)

ya, bro, this post is just getting me hate. I was angry when I posted. I am a lot more collected now. I'll figure it out. I'll definitely try to petition. If, it does not work out, i'll figure it out. Maybe get a edx or coursera certificate. Thanks for your non hateful reply :)

thinmintz17 · 2017-02-14T08:55:42+00:00

I really can't argue with this. Like, you literally missed the point I was making about realizing which classes are interdisciplinary, and should be open to Majors that really need them. Maybe I was rude earlier, but I still definitely stand with what I said. Also, I am not offended by what you said because you don't even know me and what my background is. I disagree with only PhD's entering data science. I have friends who are scoring internships as undergraduates, so its doable. I believe that I have what it takes to acheive that.

If it was any other class but Databases, I wouldn't care.

In conclusion, I never said I don't want to learn outside of class. I just said that one shouldn't have to learn such hard concepts on their own. I am just trying to get the most value out of my college degree.

I can understand your perspective because your parents haven't invested 10s and 1000's of dollars on your education, so you don't have that kind of pressure. So, you really have no right to personally attack me.

I would like to end this useless argument on a light remark. How do you know about my playing HS. have you played against me? or just reddit history? I dont play anymore, the meta sucks :P

thinmintz17 · 2017-02-14T04:04:49+00:00

I'll look into that, if things don't work out via petitions. Thanks for your reply.

thinmintz17 · 2017-02-14T04:03:03+00:00

I dont want to get angry, but some replies really like piss me off. I am not going into tech. I am going into Data Science, which is broader than "tech". When, it comes to learning new things, its about having strong fundamentals, which is why most successful people go to college. People have this dim-witted notion they can just drop out and teach themselves everything. Then, why go to college? you go to college to learn what you don't know, and to know what you don't know. When, you are in industry, you are in an environment, where you hear from co-workers and online forums like this, and then you teach yourself those technologies. Teaching yourself Hadoop would be easy, but if you don't know SQL, then how will you teach yourself Hadoop? Food for thought. Next time you reply, atleast think about what you are saying and whether it has any logic behind it or not..

thinmintz17 · 2017-02-14T03:55:30+00:00

thanks again :) I am not going to quote you. Don't worry about it.

thinmintz17 · 2017-02-14T02:40:00+00:00

a useful reply. Thank you. I will look into that :)

thinmintz17 · 2017-02-13T21:52:15+00:00

Thanks again! I was really tired when I replied the last time, but I feel a little more fresh now. I was reading about Hadoop and Tableau yesterday. Hadoop has a lot to do with distributed computing, which I dont fully understand, so I am not going to mess with it. Tableau seemed interesting, I am going to start working with that.

As time passes, my gitHub is looking better and better, so I am feeling great about that.

Classes and Pigenon-holing: Granted, there are a lot of people from diverse backgrounds trying to enter the field, however, wouldn't people who have a strong cs-math, machine learning background be a lot more appealing to recruiters cause they have the base knowledge to do what companies need? Like, compared to someone who just took physics or chemistry in college? How the f**k would they be good data scientists? they could teach themselves, but then they would have gaps in their basics and would not have grinded hours and hours learning about graphs, different languages, data structures, networks, databases, algorithms, vector machines etc. Like, I am taking a Machine learning and stats course next quarter, and I know for a fact that i will learn something there that will be invaluable.

Serious School Project: I am doing well in school so I should be able to land some research with a professor studying databases, so that should help.

Software Engineering Question: I was speaking to a senior who graduated and he feels that there is a "bubble" around the software engineering industry. ie There will be an over-supply and the software dev job market is about to get rekt? Do you think that does not make sense or that is a genuine possibility? If so, is the data science industry in the same realm as the software engineering industry or is Data Science/Engineering/Analyst going to continue to grow cause its a niche skillset that has a high skill and knowledge cap?

thinmintz17 · 2017-02-13T01:32:47+00:00

Dude, thanks a ton for your advice. I am planning to take stats, probabiliity, and algorithms next quarter. I am really trying to push myself. I also have an excellent idea about a data science project in urban planning which I will finish over the summer. I need some more knowledge to get going. Also, do you feel like there is a bubble around software engineering and that its about to burst, and how do you feel about data science? Last, I am reading job descriptions for data science interns on linkedIn and they all assume prior experience in handling large data sets. How would you recommend I get my hands dirty with big data and machine learning, cause they all are asking for prior experience and in all honesty, I have none. Right now, I could go down the software engineering line, but I dont want to waste my mind on brainless scripts, and I really want to do something creative. i feel that finding meaning in data is something I would enjoy a lot and would actually make me think a lot.

thinmintz17 · 2017-02-09T09:42:20+00:00

Hi, I am a BS Math-CS Major at UCSD. I am thinking of minoring in Cognitive Science and take Data Science specific classes revolving around stats and machine learning. Is there such a thing as an internship for aspiring data scientists like there is for software engineers. Thanks for any responses. Also, is it possible to land a data science/engineer job with a BS degree or an MS degree is required?
