<p>Are we emailed if we qualify, or is that something we need to push? I’m pretty sure I’m not top 1/8th at the moment. But not exactly sure what the cutoff GPA is. 3.5 +?</p>
<p>UCLA egnineering needs to redesign all of their shirts. Where can I submit my cool designs?</p>
<p>You can give them to me and i’ll throw in your ideas at our next meeting (no joke).</p>
<p>I think the assumed cutoff GPA is 3.5. And yeah, you’re notified by email if you qualify. TBP initiates Fall and Spring quarters.</p>
<p>The Tau Beta Pi candidates list is usually posted on the group’s bulletin board across from the Cafe by the SEAS.</p>
<p>or on the front page of the site:</p>
<p>[TBP</a> News](<a href=“Tau Beta Pi | UCLA”>http://tbp.seas.ucla.edu/)</p>
<p>but yeah, you’d still be notified either way</p>
<p>I guess I better get working on them</p>
<p>
Nice … didn’t know that ! I think you & I are the only guys with the pink ones … :P</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Juniors: 1/8th of your class = ~3.55-3.63
Seniors: 1/5th of your class = ~3.50</p>
<p>At UCB, the junior cutoff was as high as 3.7 from what I heard. There is no set
because the class differs each year and quarter. From an intelligent source,
the cutoff was around 3.60 when China & I initiated.</p>
<p>damn. I need to get working on those grades. Are you pursuing consulting further MadeInChina? And… I’ve totally stood next to BH a million times this year.</p>
<p>The pink shirts are the best…</p>
<p>@Deuces:
Yeah, I think I’m pretty interested in consulting :). Going to check out more firms at the Career Fairs this week and then apply for some internships in the coming weeks. You have a good time at the PwC dinner?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>that’s insane lol</p>
<p>Yeah, definitely did, but PwC isn’t my type of firm, just because they do all the audit and compliance stuff which I am totally not interested in. I’ll be looking at a couple other firms (Deloitte, Bain, McKinsey, etc.) where I can do more strategy based stuff. What companies are hiring interns this early? There’s a BMES meeting with ZS Assoc. - you should come by. I think it’s early November, I’ll hit you up on facebook when I get the exact date.</p>
<p>
Does this mean UCB Engineering has more grade inflation than UCLA Engineering? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>hi everyone</p>
<p>i have my cs33 first examination (closed book) this Wed!! i learned that it’s going to be mostly arithmetic problmes, which is cool, but i’m wondering about the short answer questions. how can i prepare well for this test? do you think reading and memorizing the ppt slides will help for the short answer section? i’ve always found your feedback on cs exams very helpful in the past. thanks again in advance!</p>
<p>also, i just finished my project 3, the last c++ programming assignment. so, how rough is the transition form Project 3 to Project 4?</p>
<p>IIRC, the short answer portion consisted of facts from the lecture like big endian versus little endian and what CISC/RISC stood for. Don’t sweat it too much because the vast majority of the points will be on “mathy” stuff (I think it was somewhere between 75%-90%).</p>
<p>Going to assembly was pretty rough for me because I felt Rohr didn’t go over enough example code in lecture. I highly suggest going to OH and asking one of the TAs to write up a simple program so you can get an idea of how to use registers as both counters and addresses.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>yeah i totally agree with you. i really enjoyed the Bain infosession and an internship there would be great. i don’t know of any firms that are hiring interns this early…but applications are up for some already. some apps require profiles that you have to fill out so i’m probably going to get those out of the way.</p>
<p>yeah that’d be great if i could get some info on the meeting. thanks deuces!</p>
<p>anyone done the ICPC (i think…) programming contest things where you solve the problems as a team? if so, how was it and was it fun or did it improve your programming skills and also how hard was it and would it be worth it for a CSE major to participate in these?</p>
<p>icpc was cake, but i didn’t win because i was a one man team.</p>
<p>
I was the UCLA ICPC team captain last year, so I’m getting a kick out of this question… This is definitely fun, but just like writing an exam, how much fun you have at the contest depends on how many problems your team solves. You’ll definitely improve your programming skills, though. CSE majors are encouraged to participate, but this sort of thing isn’t for everyone.</p>
<p>
When did you compete? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>how is the civil engineering program at ucla???</p>
<p>also if one is transferring from a jc into a non-engineering major, what is the process for one to apply and get into ucla engineering</p>
