Having a Job
How you are evaluated…
• You are evaluated based upon meeting your
time estimates!
Why working on teams is way
better in industry then school!
• If your co-worker isn’t showing up – it isn’t
your problem.
Getting In To Grad School
Getting into Grad School:
It isn’t just grades!
• Do research with a professor at Berkeley
• Identify professors at Berkeley to write you a
letter of recommendation
• Try to do research over the summer
• VISIT the school that you’re interested in
– Meet the professor(s) that you want to work with
• You need to know what you want to do!
– (it will change – but you need to pick SOMETHING!)
Thank you!
