I think she's already here since the article says "Earlier this fall."
But yeah, I'm a CS major at Yale too (sophomore), and I almost went the finance route. Over the summer I realized that doing something interesting >> any amount of money. A lot of kids here are pre-meds or future IB/consultants, but there are also a lot of kids who aren't and do all sorts of awesome things.
This year, there's also a much bigger interest in startups. Yale Hackers, HackYale, more speakers/tech-talks, YEI coding workshops, and a lot of other things point to people working on cool projects and doing what they like.
- asianexpress 15y agoAh nice! Yeah, I'm a part of PaperG which was part of the beginning of YEI (I think they say we're the first funded startup to come out of it). It's really awesome how things have grown in the last couple of years. I was pretty excited when I heard about HackYale -- something that should have been done long ago. Feel free to contact me if you have questions about startup/Yale/CS stuff
- BlackJack 15y agoWhat's your e-mail? It would be great if there was a better network for Yale students to talk to alumni. We have that career network but search is terrible unless you're looking for people in big companies. Actually, this gives me an idea... :)
- asianexpress 15y agoHaha, indeed -- the Yale alumni database is super useful, but of course, you won't have access to that quite yet. YEI is helpful for tapping part of the network, but you're right, there's no real good way to do it. You can find me at victor.cheng@paperg.com
