Plz dude chill the fk out. You are more than good enough

#

Just enjoy your summer

#

I’m in my third year and ur resume prob better than mine

#

If u want something, change ur grad date to 2027

#

For summer 2025

#

Not “ethical” but who gives a shit we need employment

#

Unless ur applying to companies that require transcript, just lie about ur grad date

#

Google asks for transcript I’m pretty sure so just apply to their STEP program

#

Damn u applied to 40 places alr? We just graduated high school

#

Gotchu

#

Yea I think u will be fine this app cycle lol

#

A resume doesn't get much better than this for a freshman

#

Just wait for actual freshman/soph positions to open up in August-septembet imo

#

Enjoy js for now

This resume prob better than like 90% of upperclass people so yeah ur good

#

take a chill pill bruda

#

u can pull the strat of saying you're a sophomore then when its time to graduate say "I'm doing a masters degree so it'll be one more year" lmfao

#

you landed amp, that's a w

#

I got to final interview and didn't get it 💀

#

if you can pick up a position at columbia like TA you might want to drop mathcounts

#

but the research experience is pretty cracked

#

huh

#

fair point, I hate my skill issues as well 😭

#

yeah

#

idk if you did dev stuff that might still be more relevant than research

#

and from what I know AMP is literally just college classes + yap

#

maybe but they don't really have any serious criteria

#

most people won't end up getting quant out of AMP

#

yeah

#

a lot of them end up at big tech but they mostly pick people with good past experience so it's just self-selection

#

if someone was sweating in high school, they will keep sweating in college

#

bro acting like he didn't intern at places in hs

#

that's fair

#

a lot of people in hs are starting to try research cause of college apps

#

yeah, I heard of people joining like one or two research programs but it's not popular

#

known companies >>>>> startups >> nothing

#

a lot of fake startups exist that give internships now

#

so credibility is going down

tbh people make the resume bullets sound so nice that this might even be ok

'developed and deployed full stack react applications'

if people don't know that it is a scam then it just is gonna look like a normal startup

Good resume and great experience @hexed flint . Unfortunately won’t get appreciated by most firms since you’re class of ‘28 and they can’t hire you after your internship. My advice would be to leverage the Columbia network hard to work at one of their startups/firms. Once you get to an interview I have the feeling you’ll do well, and you’ll certainly impress alumni, but most recruiters will immediately reject due to the year.

#

The resume is fine but won’t work as well for Swe (since there’s not too much Swe on it), but that’ll get fixed over the next few years

#

I think you’d be a very good fit for a solid startup, I.e your research looks relevant to Orchard Robotics and many other firms

you either doom now or get doomed later

errant flax Jun 21, 2024, 11:02 PM

#

Columbia will likely have a startup immersion program and, when you get campus, maybe other people will have an idea of what’s around

Is your family life ok

#

THIS DUDE HAA JANE street

#

He could have a racial slur on his resume and still land a good internship

pulsar pond Jun 22, 2024, 6:23 PM

#

on my resume i separate tech and skills into their own section but idt it matters too much?

#

maybe also add a concept section just to hit more keywords

#

i also j noticed theres a good amount of white space unused

#

like you have bullet pts that span 2 lines but the second line doesnt fully fill the second line

#

so ig try to lengthen those

#

and add keywords there too lol

#

craughing need to keywordmaxx

#

yea like frameworks and stuff too

#

simplify lists some keywords when u apply so look through those and see what u can put on

#

as for this

#

i mean you can technically grad in 3 years

#

either u have enough creds coming in to do that

#

or you just overload for some semesters

#

yea dont worry about it

#

cause technically u can graduate in that time frame

#

ur gpa may not be as high as it could be if u hypothetically did that and took on a large courseload but its possible lol

#

idt you should feel bad abt it either if that is bothering u

#

honestly not really at a certain point lol

#

yea

#

in a semester or two you'll see where ur gpa lies

#

whether or not u want to bring it up is up to you

#

difficulty of raising it will depend on courseload and courses u take

#

tried that freshman year and i didnt hit anything xd

#

not sure if it helps a lot but i feel like it helps to some extent?

#

yea i feel like u have a good chance for freshman programs

#

yea

#

if anything though I think you have solid chances for freshman programs

#

someone is probably tracking it somewhere just gotta ask

#

also another thing for the resume

#

not sure if ur aiming for swe or research intern roles but if ur going for swe i feel like it might be helpful to add a project or two there

#

using new tech

#

could be like a long bullet pt or two

#

yea that sounds good

#

yea

tbh i mean just having friends in your major is fine

#

you're not being exposed to a wide range of people that way but its fine to only have cs major friends as long as your friends are normal

it's fine for someone to surpass you lol

echo roost Jun 24, 2024, 8:48 PM

#

echo roost it's fine for someone to surpass you lol

strive for excellence sure but feeling immense distraught over someone surpassing you mean having an ego that's too large

#

one may even say

#

an inability to accept your inability

you can cope but reality won't change

I actually just transferred from Purdue to t10 with similar profile as you. Do you have advice for getting foot in door for those startups? I checked linkedin and theres only like 5 alumni there

#

Like I go to people and then it shows who attended my school

#

Go get that internship tho 🫡

rough igloo Jun 25, 2024, 7:36 AM

#

what the hell

#

there's no way you don't have internal referrals/connections

#

to start you could probably switch your position title with the place you worked/researched at

#

if you have publications i would create a separate section for that

#

I don’t think you’ll get any more help from this chat

#

TLDR is you can make a few changes for positions, but you’ll have to network to get a freshman year internship or go through a Columbia program (I’m sure they have a startup immersion program etc.)

#

There’s lots of great Columbia founders who would be quite impressed by your background and happy to have you join for a summer

#

Companies on the other hand would prefer to have you as an intern in 2 years
