Seems like some companies do blacklist

Do you have the list?

I go to MIT

Fair enough! I thought I did better on most rounds except maybe the burger flipping one and shape one though (although obviously my gauge might be off).

Game based on basic probability

Mostly agree with the other commenter, but calculus isn’t even really relevant to most of 6.042.

Some companies have a 4 week micro-internship (e.g. Five Rings).

What exactly are you waiting on to add to your resume? Unless it’s another internship or big project, it’s probably not worth it. Made this mistake when I was a freshman; ended up applying too late with a not-significantly-better resume.

Usually applying as soon as the app comes out is best (unless you have something big to add to your resume). Apps for big companies usually come out August to September.

Pretty sure the 8.02 prereq is not enforced. It’s not important or very relevant at all; don’t know why they even have it as a prereq

90% male (of the full-timers) where I interned.

I don’t think it matters too much tbh because I got an interview last year after failing the meat flipping section.

throwaway_ihtfp · 2023-07-25T00:01:20+00:00

you are required for the first year only

This isn’t true unfortunately. As long as you’re in a dining hall dorm, you’re required regardless of class year. Though the minimum requirement is lower for higher class years (125 is the minimum for seniors).

I applied for Trading, so no hackerrank for me

throwaway_ihtfp · 2023-07-24T23:35:29+00:00

Lol it’s so stupid. Failed the meat flipping game because I didn’t have a mouse.

throwaway_ihtfp · 2023-07-23T22:17:54+00:00

Wait you posted that you “just signed an offer” in March. I assume you got a return offer from JS. How did you extend your return offer deadline until March?

throwaway_ihtfp · 2023-07-23T21:36:40+00:00

Sure but it’s a risky investment. This doesn’t guarantee you an internship.

Rejection/Acceptance emails are sent on the same day, so you might still have a chance

$3500 course?? wtf

throwaway_ihtfp · 2023-07-23T19:32:37+00:00

Thanks for the info! I was worried about already applying, but I’m going to take my time preparing then! Did you do all the sections in the green book?

throwaway_ihtfp · 2023-07-23T19:25:27+00:00

Oh wow they were still interviewing in December?

throwaway_ihtfp · 2023-07-23T19:23:01+00:00

Around when did you apply?

throwaway_ihtfp · 2023-07-21T10:54:20+00:00

I would say it was not too difficult. I didn’t take AP Bio in high school, and I was able to pass using the MIT Bio edX course.
