How many apps? How's your callback ratio?

[worthy sinew]

Close to 300 apps, gotten around 5 OAs and 3 callbacks from local companies

I'm not a recruiter but idk if relevant coursework is necessary

I think your Cvent and Capital One experiences are key: they should stand out and perhaps Cvent should occupy more space

random question, Virginia is rlly good but Upenn is better, do you notice a major difference tho in coursework/opportunities? @worthy sinew

[worthy sinew]

i only put in relevant coursework because i think it helps with getting past the ATS? UVA def gave me a solid background in data structures and programming, i think is better at systems and ML classes/profs. in terms of opportunities i think UVA is closely tied to the dc market and penn more so to the philly/nyc market.

idk how the ATS works but def make the Cvent and Capital One your focus
