Google CSS1 2018

Does anyone know how many people get selected for residential?

@treepanda I’ve heard that it’s about 30 per site, but I’m not sure. About 120? I’ve also seen people say more than that

I just submitted my app yesterday!

Sounds like CSSI geared towards beginners in the field.
Do more experienced coders in high school have a disadvantage?

I think so, but I think if you’ve had experience in ap computer science or something you can still get in. Unless if you know all of the languages they had up on the application then I would say it would be a big disadvantage

Is anyone applying from the NY/tri-state area?

@filipiyes I’m an international student, too. Going to college in the US though.

We need recommendations if we’re applying to the Generation Scholarship? There was no place on the application to request or upload one. :frowning:

According to the application requirements on their website recommendations are only required for university applicants.

My portal changed to "In progress"and it says “Your application is currently under review” on every page. Anyone else?

Same

yep! I think we hear back around the end of april

I’m pretty sure they might contact some people for interviews over the phone or skype between now and then.

I heard they did interviews a few years ago but stopped recently…

I’m totally fine with that haha

just some videos of past CSSI sessions… now I really hope they accept me X_X

I emailed them and they said that they don’t interview people and that they’ll notify the applicants by early May

Hello! I applied towards the end of the application deadline, and when I checked my status a few days later, it said “In Progress” and that they were reading my application. I think they took the application form down now, though.
I’m from New Jersey so I’d be going to the NYC Google office, my cousin also works there so I’d probably be staying with her if I get in :stuck_out_tongue:

Why does Google have nothing in Florida??

If you want, you should be able to access your application here: https://cseduapplication.withgoogle.com/applications/cssigg2018/
