I also found my place from GradBnb ([https://www.gradbnb.com](https://www.gradbnb.com)) but I think they do 1-year leases only. Hope this helps!

You will be fine in either class without APMA1650. The only class I would really recommend taking APMA1650 before is ML (CS1420). If you are doing the AI/ML track then I would recommend DL first. It is a more general class and you will come out being able to use Tensorflow. It also has a unit on Convolutional Neural Networks - which will give you a taste of computer vision and might help you decide if you want to take vision afterwards.

Thanks for your quick response! For context, I am a sophomore that needs to declare soon and wanted to take a class that could help in choosing pathways. I’m interested in ML/AI pathway, and haven’t taken a class in that field yet, so this is my chance to get a sense of the pathway. My goal would be to choose from the two to get that sense. Additionally, I haven’t actually taken APMA 1650 or any probability/statistics class yet. Which class may be better to take given this lack of a prereq? I am also looking to see if the projects could help with doing research here at Brown and if they could be put on my resume (professors for both class already have research opportunities). Lastly, my only concern is workload as I am already taking CS 32 and another math class. Any input is appreciated and thanks so much for your response!

All standard liberal arts/stem courses should transfer. They’re stingy when it comes to summer courses and courses taken in high school, but they’ll give them to you if absolutely necessary (up to like 3 credits?). Courses taken in high school will not advance standing. So you can’t “graduate early” here just because you took courses in high school Tbh, even assuming all your courses transfer, you might have a hard time with equivalency review since different schools teach different things.

They have pretty similar workloads - Vision might be a little less. I had more fun in Vision, but the topics in Deep Learning were also really interesting and felt more important for industry. Do you have any particular questions that would help you decide?

One thing to keep in mind is that if you’re interested in systems (networks, OS, etc), cs300 is more likely to be a prerequisite. On the flip side, I don’t know of many courses that have cs32 as a prerequisite that doesn’t also allow cs300/33 as a prerequisite. Might be helpful in future course planning.

I would suggest taking both APMA 1200 and APMA 1740 (and ML too) as they are all extremely useful classes. I am a senior who just finished an internship in quant trading and will be working as one for full time as well and found that APMA 1200 was excellent preparation for the interview process.

When I looked at the overview for 1200, it had a lot of stuff about probability brain teasers and finance stuff like Black-scholes, which made me think it was better for interview preparation. Are you saying 1740 and ML will also help me get better at the probability brain teasers? Because I think that's pretty much the only thing quant interviews ask?

The exams are a bit of memorization, conceptual, and application questions. Of those three, memorization is probably least emphasized but definitely may show up. If this worries you at all (I know I hate memorizing), Professor Miller does release like a study guide for each exam so you know exactly what content will be tested. He also uploads old exams and solutions to Canvas so you know what the exam looks like beforehand

Took it a while back. Easily one of the best courses I've taken in terms of the amount of knowledge I've learned. As for whether you should take it concurrently with intro course, if you are an exceptional student in the intro course then you should be fine but unless the intro course is a breeze the workload is going to pile up and give you a hard time.

I mean you do what you think works for you best - auditing will certainly give you more knowledge than not doing so. Just my 2c though: freshmen have a horrible habit of thinking they can do more than they actually can in second semester, and then burn out horribly. Have a plan to bail if you think your workload is becoming too much.

I think I remember you posting earlier about schedule advice - you haven't taken APMA 1650 or equivalent courses, right? Because that's a pretty crucial prereq. In theory you could probably get away with not finishing 200 before 1470, but the lack of experience in stats will kill you if the workload doesn't.

To clarify, did you mean CS200? CS18 and CS16 have been replaced by CS200. In any case, that's pretty irrelevant - if you're really still taking intro-level courses you emphatically should not be taking DL.

Congratulations on your acceptance! The other commenters have left some wonderful resources, but I would add some classes MAY stipulate a windows os, usually in cs/info sci, but you can usually navigate around this by using a virtual os emulator on a Mac. For Windows if you’re on a budget, I would recommend perusing eBay for lightly used thinkpads. You can get a really great machine with high quality materials for very cheap, oftentimes at a multi three figure discount, however, I can’t praise the quality and creature comforts of mac enough. A Mac will last you a very long time if you properly take care of it, but the same goes for a good quality windows. And I should note Macs are not ideal for gaming, you can run indie games that are not very resource-intensive and whatnot, but for anything beyond Minecraft, they don’t fare well.

if you're comfortable using mac, i would recommend any of the recent macbooks. the M1 chips simply are unparalleled in terms of their balance of power and efficiency, which means you won't be hunting for outlets when you're doing work away from your room! unless you are expecting to do some graphics-heavy workloads, i think either the 13 inch macbook air or the 13 inch macbook pro would be a good choice for you. if you think you'll be doing a lot of rendering or simulations OR just want the latest and greatest mac machines and have the budget for them, then perhaps you may want to consider looking into the 14 or 16 inch macbook pros. that being said, you probably won't have much luck on the gaming front if you're a PC gamer, unless you already have an existing gaming machine, (which is the route i took when i was a brown undergrad)

Most of my friends in CS have Windows, but across campus I think IT says it's a 2/3 1/3 split between Mac and Windows. If you do end up getting a Mac, I highly recommend getting a pro with 256 GB or above -- I have an Intel Air (not sure about the M1 ones) and it struggles the minute I open Zoom or try to watch lectures. Would recommend getting an iPad for notes if you plan to take a lot of classes outside of CS, it can be really helpful. Getting a monitor is helpful too, I got mine for \~$100 from Costco and while it's nothing fancy, it does the job.

in terms of classes what computer you pick up doesn't matter since you can do all your work on a department machine (what I did). In terms of gaming you're better off picking up a windows desktop but mobility matters a lot so if you don't already have a laptop I recommend picking up one (windows for gaming). MacOS is great and reliable for development but wouldn't recommend it for gaming at all.

I finished a PoliSci Phd at Brown many (many) moons ago. I used to answer questions for newly admitted minority grad students from a background similar to my own. I'd show them around a week or so before classes and give them my number. Things may have changed, but The Graduate School used to try to pair international students with newly admitted international students similar to the relationship I described above. It may be worth your while to contact The Graduate School and/or your department and ask to be contacted by a grad student that can answer your questions. Most of the matriculation programs at Brown were geared towards undergraduates when I was at Brown, so you may have to reach out a little more as a graduate student. ​ Good luck.

The professor for APMA 1650 next semester is really bad. I honestly recommend waiting it out until fall 2022 to see if APMA 1650 is taught by a better professor, or if Hui Wang is teaching APMA 1655 again (he's awesome)

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so so much for taking the time to reply it means so much to me! And some very useful information, I'll have to take a look at gathering LOR's soon especially. Thank you so much again!!

Focus on helping yourself first. ​ Withdraw your current application and just apply next year, not a big deal. Hope you get the help you need.

I took 1430 and the SNC version of 32 last semester and felt it was pretty manageable. Of course 1430 and 1410 are different, and really depends on if they make 32 more strict/harder to pass. My experience with 32 was fairly relaxed, and 1430 seemed like a normal 6-10 hour commitment.

Unfortunately I gotta take both in the same semester to be able to meet my graduation requirements on time. Is there anything you recommend I do ahead of time to prepare? What was your experience like with these courses?

The most important thing you can and need to do is to address your mental health Everything else is a far number 2. Without being healthy, you may be overwhelmed with even the less demanding "stuff" of life. 1. If able to complete the app and you want to, if accepted, you can notify the school of your desire to take a gap year. or medical leave of absence. That will hold your acceptance. May have to pay a deposit. 2. You need to withdraw your current application. Otherwise, you'll get annoying emails re missing elements, etc. which are a pain! Email Brown "unfortunately due to unexpected family difficulties/complications...I will be applying again for 2023..Brown is my first choice...etc. This doesn't have to be long. Just explain the facts simply and clearly. You do not have to have a year filled with impressive things that "look good". If something appears that you are interested in doing and can do...great. Your application review will still be primarily based on HS stats, essays, supplements, LORs. If you can, perhaps a PT job? I can't begin to tell you how very sorry I am that this happened to you. Should never happen to anyone. But, your family and you are taking the right path to HEALTH. I wish you everything positive. I certainly believe in your abilities, character, and just good common sense. I realize we are strangers...but you shine through your post! Thinking good thoughts for you.

I did horribly in Calc, for context, and 1650 was manageable, so it probably won't be too bad for you. Not fun but manageable at least. And it looks like your plan is to take CS22 S/NC so you'll probably be fine there as well so long as you put in the time and go to hours when you're stuck. One word of caution is that CS22 can kind of be "either you get it or you don't" in that if the solution clicks you're in and out in an hour but if you get stuck, the hours spent really balloons unless you get help. Won't comment on CS32 much as I took the old version of the course, but I have heard that it is better than 33 in terms of workload these days. In case you haven't seen it, two recent students commented about it here https://www.reddit.com/r/BrownU/comments/ruu7xj/questions_on_cs_32_fall_2021/.

1. I'd say that I have a tenuous math background. I've done well in Calc 1-3/LA/Diff. Eq but I've never done proof-heavy discrete math/applied statistics before. 2. I'm a first-year transfer. I did as well as I wanted first semester but I was still constantly stressed. My philosophy for CS32/1410/1650 is that, since 32 is mandatory S/NC, 1410 and 1650 will be the only STEM courses I need to worry about doing exceptionally at. I know that the systems courses are notorious but 32 seems project-oriented, well-taught, and comparatively manageable next to 30 and 33.

Not currently enrolled, but I’d say that 15 years ago when I applied it was actually in my favor to have had a different educational experience and interesting stories to share. I didn’t have any AP classes, though I took a few CC courses and did well in them. I also wasn’t involved in any public/traditional school extracurriculars, but was pretty active in my community in other ways (homeschool co-op, volunteering, part-time job, community clubs/theater, prestigious summer camp, etc). I did have strong test scores on the SAT and two SAT subject exams to back up my good grades, as well as a few other hooks to draw on (first-gen, BIPOC, not a dude, ED applicant). Be honest about your experience, have a good idea of why you want to go to Brown specifically, and make sure that you communicate it well. If you have spent any time directly responsible for shaping your education, that’s another great point to highlight in your application (self-directed learning, selection of your own curricula, designing independent coursework, etc.). Good luck! There are never a ton of us on campus, but I definitely met one or two others while I was there. Edited to add: definitely don’t have your parents or other relatives write your recommendations. I used people involved with my academic summer program (a JD mentor and a recent Harvard grad who was basically a program lead during that time) for my recommendations, but anyone who knows your work well would do: a community college professor, co-op leader, mentor familiar with your academic work and skills, a(n adult) tutor, volunteer supervisor, etc. Those familiar with academia and/or your academic potential will be best, but if you have a strong talent (math, music, the arts, nationally-ranked or olympic level sport, etc), someone who can speak to what you’d contribute to the campus with respect to that talent can be a great choice for recommendations as well.

Three things worth considering: 1. Your math background. If you have a solid background in math you might find cs22 and apma1650 to be alright in one semester. I am not such a person and would have been absolutely miserable doing both at once. 2. Your year/experience level. CS32 + CS1410 is at least nominally a higher workload than CS200, but you'll also be much more experienced with college by then, so some of it balances out. Assuming you're a first-year, there's probably still a lot of acclimation for you to do, and you'll be much more confident by second-year fall; on the other hand if you're already a second-year you're mentally prepared for a full workload by now. 3. Who is teaching the course? 22/1650/1410 all switch professors frequently, and if you look at the Critical Review they are definitely not equal in quality.

B’s and C’s are fine. Try not to commit crime but I know someone who did get a misdemeanor a couple months before the semester started and didn’t get rescinded so minor crimes could also be fine

A’s, B’s are ok. Avoid no more than 1 C. Don’t get suspended. Don’t cheat. Don’t get arrested.

From what I understand, it is incredibly rare to get an acceptance rescinded on grades alone (I imagine even more so for an ED acceptance). It is not entirely uncommon for a student to receive a warning if their Mid-Year Report shows a substantial decline in grades, but from my recollections these are largely a scare tactic and very rarely have actual action taken over them, even in cases where grades don't improve. I would hazard a guess that Bs are almost entirely okay, and that a C or 2 will most likely be overlooked if the rest of your grades are good. Anything below that and you are reaching a point where you would possibly receive a warning.
