I applied for CSSI w/ the Generation Google scholarship. Does anyone know if you’ll still be considered for CSSI, even if you’re not selected for the scholarship?
Yeah you will
Also, according to last years thread, if you don’t make CSSI or the scholarship Google still considers you for a few other summer stuff
@ArticFirestorm What are those other summer experiences that Google may consider you for if you don’t get into CSSI?
Perhaps an internship in 3 years? Lol
anyone wanna compare short answer responses? pm me and I’ll set up a folder where you’ll be able to add yours and read everyone else’s
@cssiapplicant Are we allowed to do that?
@Rojobot the Google CodeU program over this summer and Google practicum internship after your first year in college I believe.
Those look pretty cool! What’s Google CodeU?
@Rojobot
Copy and pasted from a Quora description:
"The online mentorship program was composed of 8 weeks during which we solved four technical exercises assigned by google engineers. They later mark your solutions and give feedback on how to improve your code. We also had 4 hangout meetings with our host who gave us advice about interviewing and all got to know each other better.
At the end we were invited to the Google office in London for 3 days. Sessions about personal development and interviewing were given. We also had the chance to ask employees and managers about recruitment tips."
From what I’ve read the program is invite only.
Where’d everyone apply for? Closest for me is Pittsburgh, and I honestly don’t know if I’ll survive the next month without hearing anything ._.
I applied to the NYC office.
I applied to nyc too
Does anyone do competitive programming like USACO or TopCoder?
I’ve done some at colleges @ArticFirestorm
@D1ngus I’m just curious because based on last year’s thread Google is looking more so towards beginners and I was unsure if having done competitive programming puts someone too far ahead of what they’re after
I’m international
Anxiously awaiting decisions! Too bad they don’t have a set notification date :’(
@treepanda We should expect results somewhere between April 15 to April 25 according to last year’s thread.
After receiving college decisions, I now realize how badly I want the Generation Google Scholarship, lol. Best of luck to everyone! Only a few more weeks!
