  • cs is a very competitive in college where your chance of getting into a high status school is a lottery and people are going into different majors.
  • you should apply to as many schools as possible because of the cs major being very popular.
  • extracurricular things such as teaching that relate to cs are good to show your understanding on computer science and will help greatly with apps.
  • make sure in projects that you show your contribution and how much you can provide to projects.
  • Learning extra things on top of the work in the csp and csa class will greatly help you for the near future.
  • make sure to deploy things that you make so that other people can easily see.
  • being organized and having a game plan when coding will allow employers to find it easier to hire you.
  • You don’t have to build something big form the start, start with the little things that relate to you.

Reflection

After listening to the Alumni talk about their own story and the things that they learned, I realize that there is a lot to learn about code and it takes extra time outside of this class and the homework to create a pathway for a career in the future. It’s important for me to continue learning how to code outside the projects to increase my qualities to be more appealing for college apps and even in the workforce. I plan to apply to as many college apps to do computer science and I also want to apply for a computer science internship to advance my understanding on learning how computer science is used in the workforce. I want to attempt on making small projects and expand on those projects so that when applying for jobs I can display some of the things that I worked on. I also want to incorperate some skills outside of coding like becoming organized and having a plan so that I can be more effective when creating code.
