<p>Hey, so I just heard about Google Summer of Code, and thought it sounded interesting. I was just wondering if anyone here's done it/ could give me some information on it.</p>
<p>I'll have just completed my first year of CS, will this be enough for the program. Also, how selective does the program tend to be?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>There is tons of info on the summer of code website including qualification requirements. Get FAQ from the source! (You must be 18 and a student) If you have some skill level it may be enough. If not, try working on open source project, get cracking now.</p>
<p>From what I have read, I deduce the accept rate is about 15% or less, spread all over the world, with about half being undergraduates. But that is a guesstimate.</p>
<p>There are many informative answers on Quora about this topic if no one posts here for you.</p>
