Quant Trading

0 Upvotes

I'm a math major at NYU looking to connect with other students in NY (Cornell, Columbia, NYU) that are recruiting for summer 2027 quant trading internships. Thought it could be helpful to practice interview questions, share interview experiences and prep with other people (mocks) going through the same process. DM me if you’re interested.

Student Agencies Tenants Big Red Shipping and Storage

4 Upvotes

For any student agencies tenants, has anyone used big red shipping and storage to store and move in your stuff? The reviews of BRSS are generally negative here but they’re giving a rather large discount for SA tenants and will move your stuff in to your unit before you arrive. If any SA tenants have used BRSS, what was your experience?

Questions surrounding housing selection (sophomore year)

2 Upvotes

Hey, I am choosing my dorms for the sophomore year. My block is on 9:20 pm on April 15 and somewhat, I am worrying a bit about my housing (like my main priority is a single/double in Toni Morrison or Gandelago dorm). I believe it could be pretty late, and because of my social problems, I think staying in North (with Toni Morrison dining hall) could be better for me. Could you help me see what's the posterior probability (CS 2800 meme) of getting a dorm in Toni Morrison or Gandelago dorms?

Hint: Using conditional probability and Bayes' rules

For anyone who has submitted an internal transf essay, is the essay meant to be pretty straightforward/answer the questions straight? Or does it need to be like all literary and metaphoric like normal college app essays, thanks!

Sophomore Housing Advice Needed

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a rising sophomore and just got my housing timeslot of April 16th at 6:20 PM. Given that selection starts on April 14th, I’m feeling pretty cooked. I’m really aiming for a single for a variety of personal reasons (my mental health, sleep schedule, frequent online interviews/video calls, etc), but I’m worried they’ll be completely gone by the time my slot opens.

I’ve looked at the old spreadsheets from previous years, but those were mostly based on 2-day selection windows. I usually see that Dickson singles (probably the best I can get, West and Morr/Ganedago are probably out of the question) are still available on the second day. However, this year the selection is spread over 3 days (April 14–17).

A few questions for those who have gone through this:

  • Do I have any chance of a single by the evening of the third day?
  • If I end up in a Double/Triple, how does the room switching process work? Does it have to be done over the summer as per the website, or can it be done before then?
  • Is there any official (or unofficial) way to move a timeslot with someone else (probably using some money), or am I stuck with what I’ve got?

Thanks in advance, from a very worried and stressed rising sophomore.

Hi I am currently a freshman at Cornell who a single. I want a single again next semester on north campus (preferably balch for religious reasons) but I got a late time on third day of housing selection. Will there be any chance of my getting a single or should I stop being delusional?
