NYU (Math+CS, Courant) vs USC (Applied Math)

transfer, junior. Want to end up in ML/AI, also into startups. Both full pay.

NYU: joint Math+CS through Courant, NYC.

USC: Dornsife applied math, would need to internal transfer to Viterbi for CS (heard it's hard).

Which sets me up best for tech/ML jobs and startup opportunities? Leaning NYU but second-guessing. Honest takes welcome.

Help! Incoming Dornsife Applied Math transfer, how hard is it to get into Viterbi CS internally?

Just got in as a transfer for applied math at Dornsife, coming in as a junior. International student. Few things I'm trying to figure out before I commit.

Main thing: I want to do ML/AI stuff long term so I'd want CS in my degree somehow. How hard is it actually to internally transfer to Viterbi CS? Heard it's pretty rough now. What GPA did you need and how long did it take? And if that's a long shot, is the data science BA or the CS minor enough for tech recruiting or does it actually matter if your degree says CS vs applied math?

Also how are job outcomes looking for math/cs/ds people lately? Where does everyone end up, LA or Bay Area or unempl****?

Last thing, how is transfer life socially? Is it hard making friends junior year when everyone already has their groups? And is transfer housing worth doing through USC.

Any honest takes appreciated, weighing USC against a couple other(NYU) options rn.

cs at nyu? still worth it?

transferring in this fall, math+cs through CAS. cost isn't really a factor for me so i'm just trying to figure out if the program actually delivers on outcomes.

what do most people end up doing after? trying to get past the linkedin stuff and hear what the realistic split looks like, swe, quant, finance, grad school, or struggling to land anything. specifically curious if courant is actually a pipeline into jane street, citadel, hrt, jump, etc or if that's like 3 ppl a year.

also how much of it is the nyu name vs you grinding on your own. current students and recent grads pls weigh in, not looking for cope just honest takes.

21mph and Already Fighting for My Life

Hey all!
Just got a Meepo Go and I’m still pretty new to eskating overall. I’ve been messing around with the advanced controller settings and I’m kinda confused about the “Motor Run Mode” options, specifically Hybrid vs FullSense. What’s the actual difference in riding feel? Which one do most people use/recommend?

Also, my board is only topping out around 21 mph in Sport(Or shld I leave it on duty) mode even though Meepo advertises up to 28 mph. Is there some setting I’m missing, or is that speed only under ideal conditions? I’m around 200 lbs if that matters.

Another thing I wanted to ask is what brake percentage you guys use. I’m trying to find a good balance where the brakes are strong enough but not so aggressive that they throw me forward.

And finally, any tips for new riders? Especially for avoiding speed wobble at higher speeds. Right now anything above ~15 mph starts feeling sketchy and unstable lol.

Would appreciate any advice/tuning recommendations from more experienced riders.
