Overview
We acknowledge that people have a variety of different backgrounds in computer science and we will evaluate your application holistically based on your past experience, where you are in your Dartmouth journey, and the classes you’ve had the opportunity to take. While we’re excited to see what you build, the learning process is equally important! Tell us about the new tools you’ve learned, tutorials you’ve referenced, and any challenges along the way, and include comments throughout your project so we can understand your decision process.
If you’re applying to be a developer, we require two code projects to be submitted with your application:
- One must be your DALI Dev Challenge, (read below for more info) which must be individually made for the DALI application, follow the term’s theme, and follow one of the challenges below.
- If you’re resubmitting a DALI Dev challenge from a previous hiring cycle, it should adhere to the new theme stated for the term and have significant new commits to be considered. (Please reach out to us at [email protected] if you have any questions)
- The other project should be an additional code sample from one of your previous works.
General guidelines that apply to both code projects:
- Your code projects should be submitted as complete GitHub repositories.
- We strongly prefer to see side projects pursued outside of class for your code submissions. Specifically, we strongly discourage class submissions from CS1, CS10, and CS50.
- If you worked on a project with more people than just yourself, please specify which parts you contributed to!
- Include a README. At a minimum, you should include 1) a description of your project, 2) instructions to run locally, and 3) screenshots/a demo video if applicable.
- If possible, for full-stack applications we prefer to see a deployed app.
- Plagiarism policy
And finally, please make sure that your GitHub Repository is publicly viewable!
