 Basically, priority registration lets you pick classes before everyone else. In CS, due to it being an overpopulated major, you should always get priority registration if you can.
 
-The most common way to do this is through the [2/4-year promise program](https://www.cpp.edu/studentsuccess/oss/graduation-pledge/4-year-ca-promise-info.shtml). For this program you **MUST** enroll in the first semester you attend CPP. Themain issue with the promise program is that you need to be either a first-generation student, receive pell-grant(FAFSA), or be from a low-income highschool.

 There are other ways to get priority registration such as disabilities or sports, but they are more niche.

   - Undergraduate research is definitely one of the best things that your future self will thank you for. Why? Because it gives you the opportunity to get hands-on experience BEFORE you get the job. Companies don’t want to hire somebody that has no proven track record of being able to learn besides coursework, and then having to train them. If you can get that experience and present it to the employer, you automatically have a great leg up on other applicants.
   - Also, if you can get into undergraduate research, guess what? If you don’t want to hop into industry or you really like academia, getting into grad school is easier. You already know people that will write you letters of recommendation (your professors/advisors), you have the experience (so you don’t jump in blind) and stand out, unlike other undergrads that haven’t done research.
   - What research is available at CPP? The best thing to do is to go straight to the source. Who does research? You do. But who helps you get into it? Professors. Therefore, you need to talk to not only your professors, but professors that you know do research. You can find that out by asking fellow students or walking up to/emailing professors. Ask them what available projects are open, and what your role will be. [https://www.cpp.edu/our-cpp/index.shtml](https://www.cpp.edu/our-cpp/index.shtml)

+  - These professors cover variety of areas and majority of them welcome individuals who are motivated to take on their projects. Some projects that are conducted are:
+   - Machine Learning (ML) applications & Web Crawler on the darkweb (Dr. Marin)
+   - VR/AR related ML application (Dr. Eger)
+   - Deep learning application on mobility scooter safety research (Dr. Chen)
+    - Developing a ML models that can be used as an driving safety assessment system
   - Look at other departments as well. Research often spans multiple disciplines and NGCP (Northrop Grumman Collaboration Project) is a good example. Look at the engineering department and see what they’re up to. [https://www.instagram.com/cpp.ngcp/?hl=en](https://www.instagram.com/cpp.ngcp/?hl=en)
   - Research doesn’t just have to be at CPP. Here’s a great list of institutions that will** PAY YOU** to spend your summer learning at their institution. We highly recommend looking at this link: [https://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/reu_search.jsp](https://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/reu/reu_search.jsp)
+  - For those that take on research endeavors or become well versed in research may consider becoming an ASP (Achieve Scholars Program) mentor! The expectations of an ASP peer mentor is to assist in helping peers who are conducting research through the several programs at CPP (RIOS, INVEST, or STARS). Although need to take a class for the first semester as a mentor, but the main benefit of being a mentor is priority registration!
+  - Unsure of which program to start with? RIOS is designed for fresh sophomores or newly transferred student applicants. Allowing underclassmen to participate through research for one year (the FALL & SPR semesters) with benefits of a $2000 stipend split between the two semesters. While STARS program is similar, but is open to any class standing applicant. These two programs provide a list of research programs from various departments. Then INVEST is more of a NSF initiative that does several services.

+    - **NOTE: Not ALL research projects at CPP are listed in these programs. There is other research projects that exist that lack advertising. Also every so often there is relevant CS research in a different department. For example, the business department research with Dr. Sonya Zhang making machine learning application to predict Airbnb listings.**
 * Internships
   - This is the surest way to getting a job after graduation. There’s nothing that can beat experience. If you land one, congratulations! This is your time to dive headfirst into a company and be the best intern they have ever had. Ask ALL of the questions that you have and seek out work to do. If there’s something you don’t understand, find a mentor and fix the issues. You want to be the best intern ever. Why? At this point, you are a liability to the company. They are giving you access and resources to someone that will not really generate revenue (compared to a full time employee). So you have to convince them that you are worth it and that extending a full time offer to you is a great idea. How do you do that? Be a fast learner, a great team player, ask questions, show a willingness to learn.
   - Think of an internship like an extended interview. You get to interview the company, and they get to interview you. You see how working at the company truly is. You’ll be able to find out if you actually enjoy the role that you got, or if you want to pivot to something else. You can see how the company and industry operates, what organizations there are, what projects there are to work on, if you like the people there, etc. The company gets to see if you’re worth bringing back for another internship/full time offer. Therefore, treat this time preciously. Here’s some links to internship postings: [https://github.com/pittcsc/Summer2023-Internships](https://github.com/pittcsc/Summer2023-Internships), [https://www.levels.fyi/internships/](https://www.levels.fyi/internships/). There are many others out there, these are just some large ones.
