@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again

@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo

SpecialCrowdedElemental

15:04

(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)

c0bra1

15:07

transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol

c0bra1

15:08

i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to

i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done
