My Computer Science Degree in 10 Minutes (Wellesley + MIT)

In college, I got carried away with trying to live up to my parents' dreams by majoring in not only Computer Science, but also pre-med 🙃

In this video, I dive into my experience at Wellesley College and MIT, including switching from pre-med to CS, applying to internships, and all the existential crises along the way.

You did research at MIT too? Did you also cure cancer on the side???

CS and Pre-Med ? I thought people like this only existed in fiction 🤨?

[AnitaAsani]

WHOA! This is super impressive and has inspired me so much! Thank you and good luck in your chosen career.

[mandarchincholkar]

please make a video for "indian" students.. because the circumstances and environment they come from is alot different from you..
they just know how learn and what to learn.. but they don't have any appropriate guidance (especially for Computer science students) for where to apply for internship and to search for internship.. please guide them (us) 🙏🙏

[ruleighdy]

Awesome video! Honest, funny AND straight to the point!

[xmoonchildalex]

Ah I want to be a doctor, but computer science is always on the back of my mind. I also did really bad in AP Bio in high school & doing way better in college. Thank you for this video! I’m just nervous about switching to CS because math is not my strongest subject

[josephkhoury]

Pleas do more like this, there's people like me struggling from wanting both

[turniphead]

I am in my Sophmore year of CS major. This was very helpful. 😊

[meliormens]

Have studied two years quite hard to get a medicine admission in Germany. Now I matriculated for maths haha. Seeing parallels here ;) Thanks for being so courageous in public!

[denmarksux]

Instead of pre-med I did finance. I'm double majoring in. I question every moment of my existence. I worked at a start up CS place in my freshman summer and now I'm interning at some consulting firm. I don't even know whats going on in my life and I literally remember nothing.

[aminuabdusalam]

this video really resonated with me especially because I am a premed student and trying to major in CS at the same time. Do you do one-on-one mentorship? if yes, I would be very glad if I can join one of your sessions. Thank you!

[Majitsu]

you took the exact same path I took in college. Glad I wasn't the only one.

[JaLikon]

Honestly you seem super likable :). The fact that you actually showed your grades in these courses -- mad props! I feel like that's something I would have struggled to do if I was making this video. So props haha.

I am also a CS major right now :). It's funny that you didn't really seem to like your lower level courses (like about circuits and low-level programming and such) -- those I think are my favorite! But I am definitely in the minority of my peers lol. And it's understandable -- can you imagine how long it'd take to make a web-app in C? Lol. I certainly readily admit that the lower level stuff is not the most immediately useful, but I just like understanding more about how the computer works on the inside :). It's pretty crazy how much we can do with just little logic gates!!!

Your story gave me a little bit of calm in what seems like a hyper-competitive tech world. It's so easy to be intimidated by the FANG interviews (and I definitely AM intimidated by them) but hopefully one day I can do one and get an offer,

Anyways, Thanks for sharing, and subscribed :).

You dont need a degree to get a job in

..
We r in diffrent realities then😭😭

[karishma]

Damn... You are my idol now... My fantasy world is your real world...you are inspiring.. Thank you so much 💗

[elinfelicia]

DUDEE I DID THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF YOU HAHAHA. In hs I vowed never to take science classes ever again, and moved to CS major, and now I’m going to change to pre-med because I realised I hated programming more than science 😂😂

[xxdefaultlulzsecxx]

Wow, amazing, I always wanted to choose that path, here in my country I haven't the opportunity, but looking around I found that MIT+Harvard "double degree" and I loved it haha.

Sadly I never study none of CS or Med, or even another one of my like (Electronic eng or economics), life it's very curious, anyways, great video.

[ShogoMakishimaxx]

I'm trying to switch from pre-med to coding, but not really. I want to combine the two together tbh. I want to be able to fulfill my dream of medicine, but use some sort of innovative technology to do some stuff.

[anaveen]

Organic chemistry went bad!?😂😂🤣🤣..tell me when was the last time someone said Organic chemistry is good🤔🤔😁...That subject itself is meant to inflict pain to students.
