I am a brainlet at University studying CS and I have a hard time keeping up with my excellent peers. The idea of ever competing with them in the future is frightening. My Uni is not even an ivy league school, so I cannot imagine going against even smarter students from e.g. Stanford or Harvard. How would I ever get a job?
How does someone even compete with all the smart people these days?
Ivy leagues don't actually have more intelligent people. Ivy leagues just get better funding, most of the people there are complete retards.
This sounds like a retarded cope.
Here is something I like to look at when a new topic is kicking my ass.
Just get a degree in something less competitive than CS. I'm doing BME right now and I'm probably going to switch to industrial design for next semester because engineering is too difficult, competitive, time consuming, and math heavy.
I'm in an Ivy league right now, I can assure you they're not any smarter than you.
Uni isn't even that hard, just spell your name right and actually participate, that alone will pretty much pass most classes.
Not in CS tardboy, just because business majors can skate through drunk the whole time doesn't mean people who do real work can do the same.
Mate, Computer Science grading requirements are set to the lowest capability of students. If you're too stupid to pass the classes then you're only showing that you're less capable than the dumbest student. Maybe you should work on the prerequisite classes more if you're having this much trouble with the 100 level classes.
I'm willing to bet you're the kind of guy that has trouble with basic algebra.
Absolutely no amount of fucking schooling will give credence to true professionalism in a field and that's why uni is a joke. You know why it's called a college? Because when that term first came about, it was because it was a place where the like-minded people gathered to elevate their practices even higher. Look around at the bums and simple souls on campus and ask yourself if any of these people are going to be making defining marks in their field. Not that being a simple soul is bad, but if you have no real vocational aspirations in life then you are extremely suited to pull potatoes on some land at your leisure with your like-minded friends and loved ones.
pulling potatoes is some tough work (I've done farm work before) but I have been considering perhaps getting a job in culinary arts. Not too big, perhaps a chef for a small or mid-size restaurant? I like cooking.
>grading requirements are set to the lowest capability of students
That's something that depends on the individual college, but if that were true then literally everyone would pass every class, which is not how classes work.
I'm not in CS, and not OP, but at my college CS requires calculus 1-3, linear algebra, differential equations, and 300 level statistics, along with several more field-specific highly technical and difficult courses. Business majors require precalc and some communications classes. CS isn't something that you can just show up and pass like a lot of other majors.
Again, not OP, but CS goes far beyond basic algebra. I'm also currently in Calc 3, so a bit past algebra buddy.
>That's something that depends on the individual college
No fool, look at your graduation rate for your degree. You're thinking of a grading scale for instructors. Look at the percentage of people that are graduating and compare that to the amount that drops out. And why do you keep going back to Business majors and communication classes? You're making false assumptions about a lot of things.
If you're in calc 3 then why are you having so much trouble in Computer Science? That's equivalent to an English teacher having trouble with the subject, verb, object sentence structure.
>look at your graduation rate
Don't have a number for CS specifically, but only 40% of freshman engineering students end up graduating with an engineering degree. Given the similarity of the programs, I'd imagine CS probably has a pretty similar number. You'd have to be retarded to think that all CS majors pass.
>your degree
You obviously have about 0 reading comprehension, I literally said in my post that I'm not in CS.
>why do you keep going back to Business majors
Business majors are a good example to use as an easy major that you can get through with little effort. It contrasts things like CS and engineering, which are much more difficult.
>false assumptions
What false assumptions? You can't actually think a CS degree is easy to get, right? No one could be that stupid.
Post student id and canvas login or LARP
Jesus fucking christ can no one here read? I said in the fucking post that I'm not in CS and I'm not OP.
Cs get degrees, although no one actually cares about Computer Science since it's an oversaturated field. Odds are you'll get a low end IT job that does the same thing every day. So you'll be fine. Just finish up your courses and make sure to spell your name correctly.
This is such a cope
It is. I went to average state school for undergrad and a top private school for law school. The difference between the caliber of student is night and day
You first, faggot. Then we'll talk.
They are smarter on average, but not by a large margin. Keep in mind that many of the students at these schools are only there because their parents are alumni and/or donated to the school. Also, affirmative action is big at top schools.
Yep larp confirmed
Cope. Median SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT and MCAT way higher than state school
The average college student is probably not interested to make an impact in their field or to push the boundaries in research. The best are always the ones who dedicate themselves to the subject and work the hardest. Most students are lazy. They would rather party than sit down in the library and work on math problems which would deepen their understanding. For them, college life is nothing more than an expensive vacation.
>Don't have a number for CS specifically, but only 40% of freshman engineering students end up graduating
How do you not have the numbers, yet you're able to give a percentage? Just look in your school's graduation registrar.
>You obviously have about 0 reading comprehension, I literally said in my post that I'm not in CS.
Nice segue, retard. I said your degree, not specifically CS.
>What false assumptions? You can't actually think a CS degree is easy to get, right? No one could be that stupid.
They are easy, you're just having trouble because you're stupid.
Just send me your student ID and Cavas info and I'll send you a message. Unless you can't, but you wouldn't lie on the internet, would you?
>This is such a cope
They're probably smarter than you, but that isn't saying much.
> In terms of global rankings, the 2019 Academic Ranking of World Universities ranked Georgetown Law as the #7 best law school in the world. According to the 2020 QS World University Rankings, Georgetown Law was ranked the 8th best law school in the U.S. and 18th best in the world.
U go
I'm not seeing a student ID here, nor do I see your canvas info. Why are you hiding right now?
Alright, you're obviously either actually retarded or barely understand English.
>How do you not have the numbers, yet you're able to give a percentage?
As I CLEARLY FUCKING STATED in my post, that figure is not specifically for CS majors at my college. It is the overall percentage of freshman engineers in the US that end up graduating with an engineering degree. As CS is a very closely related field to engineering, similar graduation rates can be assumed.
>Just look in your school's graduation registrar.
Not sure what the fuck you're talking about but there's no such thing as a "graduation registrar". Plus just looking at graduation numbers is useless, you need to compare it to how many students started that major as a freshmen to see how many actually made it through.
>They are easy, you're just having trouble because you're stupid.
Not sure how many times I have to say this for you to get it through your thick skull, but I''M NOT IN FUCKING CS, so I'm therefore not having trouble in CS. And a degree that requires high level mathematics and technical courses is not an easy one compared to literally any other kind of major. Business degrees are easy. Arts degrees are easy. communication degrees are easy. CS, engineering, math, and science degrees are NOT easy. Maybe in whatever trashpit of a country you come from they hand out CS degrees to anyone who can plug an Ethernet cable in, but in civilized parts of the world it's a difficult and complicated degree.
Now please, fuck off and learn to read.
>because their parents are alumni
Having alumni parents also means you've inherited your genes from someone who was smart enough to go to an Ivy League school. The heritability of intelligence is quite high as it is estimated to be between .5 and .8. For contrast, the heritability of height is between .9 and .95.
This is also a huge reason why the children of wealthy parents tend to do better in school but especially on standardized tests which are more g-loaded. They have been fortunate enough to inherit their genes from someone who likely leveraged their superior intelligence to accrue large amounts of wealth.
