Will I be a competitive applicant for next fall's cycle?

- 3.7 GPA as a compe from state's flagship (generally considered t10 public fwiw)

- TA for a couple of classes

- Research doing embedded systems as well as software development and machine learning

- one internship after my junior year (which I'm about to start) at a small defense company working on UAVs, radar, and satellites

- I've done about 50 leetcode questions, hoping to get up to 250 by the end of summer and know all of the major patterns.

- Grind out some pretty cool projects this summer in my free time. I already have an embedded systems and an agentic AI project going on. I have some ideas for some other stuff I want to build afterwards in the realm of ds/ml in sports/finance which are two of my biggest interests.

- I would say I'm mostly targetting amazon and some of the easier to get into faang adjacents like IBM. I'm aware my resume probably isn't good enough for google or other super to notch companies. I'm also hoping I can get into the online masters at like UT or GT and try to move up after a couple years.

I'd appreciate any sort of feedback as far as where I stand among other applicants for next cycle. Thanks yall.

I haven't seen any research on this, but reddit has essentially created the perfect enviroment for the consumption of porn. You can sort to whatever kink you may want to watch and scroll through a fresh feed of videos every day. Theres even options to search within subreddits for certain keywords. Users can watch directly in a browser and be totally anonnymous. Plus it's all free to use.

I know most of the gen z people I know have migrated over to using reddit or twitter for porn, so I'm curious to hear what you guys think about it being a part of the bull case for the overall stock price. If reddit can become the leading porn consumption site that has the potential to be a massive new revenue stream.

For the first part of the semester my group was doing somewhere around average. Then out of nowhere we started getting legit the worst scores in the class (according to canvas). I recently discovered there was some drama around one of my teammates and a TA. I checked and when that argument was is the exact week our grades dropped from average to the worst in the class. Also I was rereading the grading comments and this mofo was seriously taking off loads of points from our engineering docs for sounding too "roboticy" and "run on sentences". Like istg group projects are just rage bait.
