starting position at microsoft pays, what, 120k?
microsoft pays pretty low compared to other tech companies
its kinda weird

did any one even get in today
they say it starts releasing by march 1
todays march 1

even if they did release today, would probably be evening

Does it really matter
We find out in the next 2 weeks either way

how do you really get the badge though

how do you really get the badge though
badge?
mighty hare
the "I voted" thingy
I struggle to find whatever directs to the acquisition of such an artifact
if you can call it one
lean niche
I struggle to find whatever directs to the acquisition of such an artifact
First find the artifact where the a2citizens gather to hear crucial information
That will take you to your path to the badge
mighty hare
nvm I found it
though it is worthy of a crackle to call #announcements an artifact
it is worthy of a second crackle upon finding out that UW Madison has the same portal name as UWash, "MyUW"
viscid adder
for engineering do u guys think uw or northeastern better
def uw but its like impossible to get in oos
northeastern is pretty good tho for cs at least
likt t20-30

they say it starts releasing by march 1
They sent out a mail saying that it will most likely be next week

Isn't it kinda unethical to take up a scholarship when you know you're not gonna go lmao
vagrant flint
the stress is actually starting to get to me 🫠

he’s gonna go to stanford tho
i mean that’s probably a decent call
if he’s cs both options are about equal but being away from home can be nice
everything else stanford mogs

oos or instate?

same as cs? damn

cs and comp eng are in the same school

if you get in do you think you’ll go

neither, only a handful of students actually got a decision today and it appears to be the presidential scholars
vagrant flint

they sent out an email saying most will receive their decision during the 11th-15th of march
plus i think they said they'll notify you when you have a decision available (probably using the email you submitted your app with)

the only reason they gatekeep cs is cuz the whole point is to funnel the smart washington kids into big tech

did anyone get in?
for a very, very small number of applicants (speculated to be the presidential scholars plus a couple extras)
for a large majority of people though, not yet
mighty hare
yeah me neither
I think it makes sense for us non-washingtonians (idk if thats a word) to be later
vagrant flint
your decision will probably be sometime between the 11th and the 15th because that’s when most of them are expected to come out
what did you apply for?
vale pewter
I think presidential scholarship is only for instate
vagrant flint
yep, washington residents only
vagrant flint
well the thing is it aint cs
could be earlier then?
dunno how many people apply for physics
hot grail
shiiiiii udub does rolling?
vale pewter
kinda
vagrant flint
my best guess is they release them in waves the same way other schools do, to prevent their systems from getting overloaded

bro eveyrones been telling me to lose hope bc that 47% acceptance rate for engineering oos is "false" and stuf 😭

between March 11-15 they said

would make sense

you’d think a school known across the country for its cs curriculum would be able to make a website with a load balancer capable of handling thousands of requests instantly (/hj)
but i digress
11-15 for most
perhaps earlier if you are lucky

becauseeee you need the human coders to actually understand how different systems interact with each other and be able to make code that can bind the output of one to the input of another and create entirely new systems

right i managed to convince my parents aeroE is super good cause its niche and also not easy to get laid off so jobs r p secure
vagrant flint
true, we indeed need them, but the demand will drop soon
for sure a drop but it'll be because the requirements will change
it wont be "can you write code fast" it'll be "can you understand how this works and what you need to write in order to make it work"
mighty hare
yes
for years we have been building the ground up
but with the tech of AI we just have to fill in the requirements to let it pump out a model building and we renovate as we go
and renovation requires less constructive workers than just building with scaffolding all over
mighty hare
honestly I think my potential son/daughter will probably sip futuristic techno tea upon learning how competitive CS used to be when we were HS students
vagrant flint
id reckon cs teaching will change drastically too
(even though, imho, it kinda sucks as it is rn)

depends on what is drastically

vagrant flint
maybe not a scam exactly cuz all you'd lose is your application fee (which may/may not be a lot for you)
but at 2% acceptance
if you think you have a good shot at getting in then maybe
but you’d be competing with other oos applicants and in-state ones as well

do you know exactly which laws those are
it was a few years ago, where UW was over admitting international students for financial gain so the legislature told them off
give me a minute to find it
fossil oxide
"other than the 2% acceptance rate"
bro sounds like those entitled ah international students 💀
every state school ever is harder to get into OOS
UTA and UCB both have similarly insane acceptance rates for OOS CS
limpid pulsar
UTA and UCB both have similarly insane acceptance rates for OOS CS
vro
ucs dont have an instate boot
reef kraken
Most good state schools are <10% for OOS CS acceptance rate
It isn't that crazy
here in NC we have a rule that says that no more than 16% of a public universities students can be OOS
fossil oxide
ucs dont have an instate boot
lol UW CS is not ez for in state
im in state and its super self selecting
u have 3.9 GPA IB Diploma ppl applying for informatics or mathematics instead
because literally EVERYONE applies, so anyone who thinks theyre not top of the class doesnt apply
limpid pulsar
im in state and its super self selecting
thats what ppl tell themsleves to gaslight
limpid pulsar
yes
fossil oxide
ik cracked asf ppl that dont get in bro
limpid pulsar
"its super self selecting" as if there isnt like a 13x acceptance rate compared to oos
fossil oxide
its definitely not as competitive as berkeley
limpid pulsar
and if anything oos is def more self selectign
fossil oxide
but not my issue UC fucks cali kids over
limpid pulsar
its definitely not as competitive as berkeley
yeah obv
fossil oxide
not even sure why anyone from WA goes to berkeley for CS
limpid pulsar
idk if its cheaper at uw
fossil oxide
everyone who got admitted to both regrets it
limpid pulsar
but berkeley def has a better program
fossil oxide
its much cheaper
reef kraken
"its super self selecting" as if there isnt like a 13x acceptance rate compared ...
It is a state school
vagrant flint
idk if its cheaper at uw
significantly
reef kraken
they pay there taxes to fund it
limpid pulsar
they pay there taxes to fund it
i mean it does kinda depend on scholarships ands tuff
tawdry summit
16% is different from 2%
fossil oxide
but u have extreme competition for opportunities, stress culture, and u have to focus more on grades than stuff liek research/internships
vagrant flint
48k/year vs 35k
limpid pulsar
like ucs cost as much as purdue for me, and ohio state is 50% cheaper than ucs for me
tawdry summit
i mean state schools arent obligated to give oos seats anyway
fossil oxide
^
tawdry summit
but 2% is still crazy
fossil oxide
its like how US schools arent obligated to take internationals
reef kraken
i mean state schools arent obligated to give oos seats anyway
In fact in the case of UW they are heavily discouraged from doing so because of what happened in 2011
fossil oxide
literally everyone ik got rejected from UT

For UW it’s basically “If we are on the edge of admitting or not admitting you, we will look at your SAT and if it’s 1400+ it might push you over the edge and get you in”

that doesnt mean anything about their admissions criteria tho lol

With the research that SAT is a better predictor of college grades than GPA

median of cs applicants is prolly a 1500

at any point does the application say whether or not you submitted scores

Well yeah but trying to compare two people with a 4.0 GPA academically means nothing
tawdry summit
like someone said they only use it if they're on the brink of admitting someone
bronze fossil
That’s when you would use the SAT
vagrant flint
like someone said they only use it if they're on the brink of admitting someone
thats what i was told
The UW is technically test-optional. However, test-optional can mean different things at different schools. At the UW, you will not be disadvantaged for sending low scores or for not sending scores. In fact, when reading your application, the reviewers will not see your test scores, if provided. However, test scores that fall above our middle 50% (see the freshman profile for more information) may be considered for a handful of students who may not otherwise be admitted.
round yarrow
Well yeah but trying to compare two people with a 4.0 GPA academically means not...
yeah thats true
bronze fossil
GPA is completely unstandardized—weird scales, different percentage boundaries, gradebook weighting inconsistency
round yarrow
once test opt is gone tho you wont need as high of an sat either

Like some of my classes used to be 40% tests/projects and 60% homework/quizzes/classwork

Now all of them are 80% tests/projects and 20% homework/quizzes/classwork
we only have one category and thats "assessments" 💀
homework doesnt count
vagrant flint
actually do self-reported scores count
ok found it, in case anyone else needs it:
If you self-report your test scores within your application for admission, you may be asked to provide official scores from the testing agency if your scores are used in our admission decision. We anticipate that this will only impact a small handful of applicants, and we will work individually with those students to ensure we have their official scores.

homework doesnt count
Does anyone even do it then LOL

i guess a better question is what makes the 20% stand out among the rest
if anything at all
sharp umbra
bro
nobody knows what an accepted candidate does better than a rejected candidate for any school
if u ask the mit thread what makes the 5% stand out over the 95%
they wouldn’t be able to tell u either
vagrant flint
fair enough
fossil oxide
There's actually documentation on UWs rating systen
Someone wrote a book on it a few years ago
They assign two scores from 1 - 9, one based solely on academics, other based on ECs + background + demographic
Everyone starts at a 4 I think for EC score, + 1 for low income, + 1 for URM, + whatever for ECs, something like that
This was before the supreme court ruling
And then there's a cutoff for general admission, it was unclear if DTM is a different process
Also it's kinda commonly know that grad students are hired by big schools to help read apps and assign scores
So yeah ig the other 20% didn't get a high enough score in the two categories 🤷🏻♂️
hot grail
Everyone starts at a 4 I think for EC score, + 1 for low income, + 1 for URM, + ...
+1 for low income is crazy

Pretty sure it literally said that in the book

also what’s the difference between double major and double degree
dual degree is like one BE and one BS or one BS and one BA

while double major is one degree with both listed?
like bachelors of science in something and something

while double major is one degree with both listed?
yep
double degree is like 150 credits
