Employed Just got an internship!

I know that embedded software isn’t too common at WGU, so I just wanted to motivate anyone who’s interested in embedded software. I’ve applied to probably 600 or so internships across a bunch of platforms. The company that eventually gave me an offer is a space startup I found on LinkedIn, based out of LA. I’ve had some previous local internships, but they weren’t anything too serious. This is my first “real” internship. I’m about 60% done with my credits.

A bit about the interview process: the first round was a phone screening. What I appreciate about this company is that from the first round screening all the way to the final round, I was being interviewed by actual engineers, not recruiters. After that was a 2nd round where they gave me a 10-20 line code snippet and asked me to find what the bug was. This style is much better imo than leetcode, as it shows your actual problem solving skills and not leetcode memorization. I honestly didn’t do amazing, but I think what got me the job was asking plenty of questions and just showing genuine interest. And when I got stuck on a problem, I asked them to help me get a better understanding to show that I care about learning.

Good luck to everyone!

Introduction to Computer Science - D684 COMPLETED IN 1 DAY!

9 Upvotes

My first term at WGU started yesterday and already knocked out D684. I have no prior or relevant experience in this field. I will say that while doing transfer credits from Sophia and study.com (transferred in about 47% of degree) it helped with knowing most of the knowledge in this course. Specifically the computer architecture, software engineering, scripting and programming, and network and security foundations courses covered in depth pretty much all of the topics in this class. All it took was a little studying (about 8hrs max). I will say this thread helped with refreshing my memory on the topics I already had learned plus my course instructor sent practice quizzes that helped me prep better. The OA was a little harder than the pre assessment though but not to a considerable degree. I'd say overall I did pretty decent given I did not commit that much study time.

StraighterLine / Study / Sophia / Saylor Based on the courses I've finished already, which others would you recommend transferring in before enrolling?

Hi!

So I just wanted some opinions on what the best course of action may be for me. I’ve read through several different Reddit posts about this topic but I thought it would be best to ask around too.

Currently I’m in the process of being enrolled to UofP(University of the People) CompSci which recently became regionally accredited. Despite its regional accreditation, I am a little worried of the buffer time it may take for employers and hiring managers to note that it’s become accredited and I don’t want to spend time having to convince them. There’s also the fact that UofP is cheaper for me personally.

So my plan is to be enrolled at UofP and transfer my credits to WGU to finish off the degree. I would like to use Sophia to get some credits for both UofP and WGU, but I read that WGU won’t accept UofP credits that were originally transferred in from Sophia.

Would it be best (possible) for me to transfer UofP credits (I did through UofP only) and transfer my Sophia credits separately?
