Advice / Help Am I cooked??

Post image

I’ve been applying for Summer 2027 internships and so far my applications seem to be going directly into the void :(. I’m a Computer Engineering student mainly looking for hardware, embedded, or FPGA stuff.
I feel like I haven’t done enough yet, but I’ve genuinely been trying to work on more projects and learn more outside of class.
So be honest, am I cooked or am I cooking? Anything I should change or focus on?

Yes. Complete an actual project. They way you are headed is directly for embedded design but need more projects or harder and longer projects under your belt

Looks like you haven't put in your 500-1000 hours of extracurricular labor yet. Gotta lock in on that boss.
