I have never applied for a masters, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help :( I believe that it mostly comes down to grades + research experience, and then they look at your essays to determine if you are passionate about it and someone the professors would like to work with.

The classes certainly are challenging, but remember that everyone feels that way. We have many, many free resources put in place to help students, and core cs courses have some of the most amazing TAs. Plus professors are super eager to talk to anyone who is struggling. As long as you make a group of friends to do h.w together with (almost everyone naturally does) everything will be fine. Also a majority of incoming freshmen each year also get imposter syndrome, so everyone understands! If you want more details feel free to message me on discord :)

3% seems a bit tooo low, I think it's somewhere around 5% but yeah acceptance for SCS is pretty low. Just a shame that none of these schools can admit all the amazing students who deserve to go there :(

apply to SCS in qatar campus you have a higher chance of admittance

buddy i think cmu has uni ranking of 52 or smthing

@@shifashaikh1712 I believe its ranked top 2 in CS All good now, I'm going to a top 5 program in the country for ECE so I'm happy where I am!

Wow you are way ahead of me when I was in 6th grade, I don't think I ever visited college campuses until at least high school 😅. I'm sure that if you keep working hard like I know you do CMU and other universities will be dying to accept you!

@@becommingher thank you so much!!

Keep working towards it and I'm sure you can!

haha hope I didn't bore you

That's a really good start! There's more areas to CS than just web development and networks though. I would say that you should take the chance to explore other things. 'Programming' is not really an area of CS, it's simply the basic tools that Software Engineers use. If you have the chance to check out other areas like systems (think OS, databases, compilers) or AI/ML, or security, or even things that incorporate hardware like robotics. These are all examples I've taken from the various departments at CMU school of CS just to show that there are many ways you can go if you want to persue Computer Science. I would search around and check out what those fields do before making a decision as to what path to persue. The pay and work for each is dependent on the company you work for and for many of those how hard a job is depends on the specific team you are on. In general AI is a pretty hot topic but you need a higher (masters/phd) in it to really do interesting work. Other areas are usually fine with just a bachelor's.

Yup! This building is definitely basically CMU housing 😂

I'm not sure yet, I probably got about half the campus buildings. We aren't a very large school though

I am a 4th year, however my schedule this semester is pretty light and I thought it wouldn't be very representative of the experience, so I showed what my 2nd year spring semester schedule was instead.

@@becommingher thanks

true, true T_T

I thought it was pretty interesting, especially if you want to know more about things like mental illnesses or psychiatry. The professor is super well versed in everything they teach.

Thank you for commenting! Nice to know I'm being useful haha 😆

Thanks for taking a chance and watching!

To leetcode you need to know data structures and algorithms (DS & A). If you've taken it already then definitely leetcode. Otherwise it's a bit hard to teach yourself, usually it's the class after intro to programming in universities. Definitely not to late to do it freshman year, most people who come in with no CS knowledge will take DS & A in freshman spring and leetcode through the summer/really get into it sophomore fall.

Check out this list? github.com/rby90/Project-Based-Tutorials-in-C You can kind of do slightly different things with the three but backend projects if you haven't don't too many of those already. You can also try out making a game or two, or venture into VR - if that's interesting to you.

Sadly I don't think there's any specific website that will list things like recruiter's emails for each region, I would say if there are any recent alums also doing PM at Microsoft you can maybe ask them if they know the recruiter they talked to and then you could probably find them on LinkedIn after that. Generally the recruiter for your region are the ones who show up to the career fairs at your university so if you ever attended career fairs and talked to Microsoft or know friends who have they might have received an email from the recruiter. Other than that I can't say I have any more ideas (close to career fair times if your university uses Handshake you can see the emails of those companies attending), but I'm sure with a referral you will probably hear back fairly soon. Good luck!

I'm glad you found it helpful! Yeah definitely go to career fairs just to gain experience on how to talk to recruiters, but note that generally not much comes out of it for the large companies, but for smaller companies you might get an interview. When you get to Junior year though you might score interviews from any company. Research is really good for your resume, it's ranked more on the level of internship, so definitely put it on your resume and talk about it.

Always here to help!
