Illinois

I read this on Quora today and it made me think of all the people who said they never had an internship or were struggled to find a job out of college despite sending hundreds of applications, and even those who said their college removed Discrete Math from their CS curriculum. As someone who has been in a top CS program and a shitty one, I can say that the gap is fucking huge. Edit: some of you might be interested in this. His website, http://algorithms.wtf, has some really good notes on algorithm concepts. I really liked the DP and graph one. Check it out. Edit 2: I'm not Jeff himself, but I don't think his intention was to tell everyone to go to top schools. I think it's mostly that there are a number of crappy ones out there. Those are two different things. So look out for yourself. Also, he did not say anything about being hardworking or anything, so please keep that in mind. Edit 3: so Jeff has entered the battle. He is u/jeffgerickson, and he seems to be answering/clarifying stuff. Sorry if this has brought you some unwanted attention, and thank you for caring about us, and help making CS@Illinois great!
