Maybe things have changed then (or you went to a highly selective brand name school in which case it’s easy). I went to RPI which isn’t a bad place, but isn’t MIT. I had a good gpa and decent projects but got ignored or instant rejections from Google and Facebook, I was able to get other interviews (Twitter, Palantir) and after working at a famous company now it’s easy to get interviews, but there’s a randomness to it. If you don’t have a brand name school or don’t know someone it’s still difficult. Not the fault of the companies really, there are just too many applicants. Since I was in school there are more companies tackling this like triple byte so maybe it’s better now?
