Applied to DurhamU for engineering, got an email for an interview.

The fuck man. What would you do?

>>10289711

>>10289717

>>10289711
Don't pull some disingenuous BS that you think will impress the interviewer. Bring something related to an activity you are truly, truly passionate about. If you're big on pencil sketches, bring in a piece you're proud of. If you like backpacking, bring a tool or camping item that has helped you survive (no weapons though). Each of these things carry a story (your love of studying the world around you and drawing it, the thrill of surviving in the wilderness).

>>10289739
I’m too dorky to be that interesting. I was thinking about my graphics card. I can talk about building my pc and playing RTS vidya.

>>10289711
that's a red flag. i wouldn't go to a school that makes you do bullshit like that

>>10289774
The interview involves a tour so I'll find out how much I like the place there. It's known for being a second class Oxford so I wouldn't discredit the school right away.

>>10289810
More like it's known for being a school for Oxbridge rejects who don't want to trek to St. Andrews lol

And since when did they start interviewing lol, I have friends there on that course and don't remember anyone having to go up for an interview.

>>10290125
I think you should learn what second class means because you just explained something I already said. Also nice reddit imgur picture and reddit spacing. fag.

Imgur is not the same as reddit, and that kind of spacing was around on 4chan long before you were.

>>10290913
Imgur is where ledditors store their images to upboat. The only reason it is remotely popular is because of leddit. Only newfags space like that here.

>>10290928

Don't do ERASMUS for math, lol. It's does do you any good and can harm you even (because syllabus is not totally compatible so you get confused about stuff).

Anons help;
I just went to college at 27 after pissing my life away. It's in Florida, and I am doing very well. Deans list for all semester, 4.0 GPA, and I understand the material intuitively.
I am in the Electrical Engineering A.S. program, and I'll be moving to bachelors soon.
Problem is; I can't shake the feeling that I am too old. Everyone in my classes is the classical, "I wanna be engineer" type that realizes half way through a class that it's too difficult. But the teachers just allow these people to pass. It's ridiculous, and it feels like a game that I am a pawn in.
I learn so much more on my own. Why am I doing this? Why am I around degenerates that can't understand simple math?
Is it worth it Anons?

>>10291647
Wrong, and you also missed the point.

/sci/ is so fucking dead, why am I typing this?

>>10291682
You're around degenerates that can't understand simple math because (a) you're doing an A.S. and (b) you're taking courses that are intended to weed out the idiots. I'm an engineer and I don't regret it at all, just make sure to get an internship if you want a job or do research if you want to go to grad school.

>>10291627

If you take chem, don't take gen chem, it's pretty boring, although a necessary foundation if you want to be a scientist. I've heard 4A/B is awful. If you're interested and took chem in high school, just take Organic (12A/B). Organic is when start to you actually understand reactions and be able to do things. Synthesis is great problem solving too.

Lmao, yeah 1A is easy. I took it cause I was thinking MCB before I switched to COC; skated through with an easy A while everyone else was complaining about med school.

>>10285368
why'd you go to a school known for industry prospects for physics? Do you plan on going into industry or getting a further degree?
>>10285405
I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon. Do you think the industry is getting saturated with ChemEs or is it just autists that can't get a job?
>>10285413
Hope you're doing internship/projects if you want to go into industry, and research if you want to go into academia.
>>10285527
I hear the alumni network there is phenomenal, by "partied more" do you mean "got to know more people" or just "had more fun?"
>>10286935
did you make use of the opportunity to network?
>>10287182
I guess you need to "dig in" next semester. Also don't forget to network, orediggers are surprisingly overrepresented in fields like oil and gas.
>>10287282
Wow that's a rare one on a board like this. Why'd you choose the military over industry or academia?
>>10287958
I don't think the IIT's and the C9 cull as hard since most of the selection happens with the IITJEE and Gaokao, respectively.
>>10288922
try to figure out which specialties the students you hate are going into and then do the opposite. Or just do whatever you want since you'll probably have a lot of independence as a doctor.
>>10289745
hoestly that could work if you focus more on the process of building/gettting money for it, how you got into tech culture in the first place, etc. rather than just "I like vidya lol"
>>10290626
you going into grad school or medicine?
>>10291682
That's an advantage. Your life experience makes you more determined than the flaky 18 year olds of which the majority will drop out or switch to something else. Just focus on yourself and, when you transfer, on getting to know professors and the students who you think will succeed the most (again your life experience helps here). Usually the only trouble faced by older students is the difficulty of classes due to their less flexible brains but you don't seem to have that problem. Godspeed.

Fellow oxgoy. I'm a chemist and absolutely hate this fucking course. Any interest or passion for organic and inorganic has been completely tarnished over the last 2 years. Still clinging on to physical since I can solve equations and memorize derivations. It's slowly opening up with more choice but I regret not doing maths. Everything mathematical we do is so dumbed down for the organic chemists who Reeeee at first sight of an integral.

>>10293911
>I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon. Do you think the industry is getting saturated with ChemEs or is it just autists that can't get a job?

I'm from Sweden, and here in Sweden we have educated and graduated ChemE students at the same rate that the market has demanded them, everyone who studies ChemE pretty much ends up getting a job in the chemistry bussiness here.

I think, and I'm almost convinced, that the absolute majority of ChemE students / grads who post here and whine about unemployment, or employment rate this and that, are americans or are from some other english speaking country.

You are the ones who suffer from the fact that english is the internatiuonal language, anyone from a foreign country who speaks it can migrate your countries and apply for a job.
Then include India in that mix. The fact that Indians speak english as their secondary language and they graduate in a country where they don't have any jobs in that industry, then yea, Indians are gonna want to migrate to a country that they already have the language of and that has a promise of a job to them.

We don't have an over-saturated market that employers can pick from here in Sweden, it gets even thinner when they want to hire someone with experience. That can not be said for countries like the UK, Canada, Australia or the US
I think the commonwealth countries are even more fucked than the US because of their migration agreements that allow indians and pakis virtually free access to their job market.
