Amazon ML School Selection Drama | SOP Round Results Stir Excitement
A buzz of excitement and confusion hit participants of the Amazon ML School as just 30,000 out of 130,000 made it through the SOP round. With the Online Assessment (OA) looming on June 28, many are seeking clarity on communication around the next steps.
What’s Happening with Notifications?
Although 30,000 candidates celebrate their shortlist status, many are left wondering about their OA details. Some have received emails, while others are still waiting. One candidate noted, "I've been shortlisted according to the unstop website but haven't received any email." This inconsistency raises questions about the communication process within the selection body.
Community Buzz: Preparation and Assistance
As the OA date approaches, candidates are turning to various forums for insights and preparation tips. A previous participant from last year’s ML summer school offered help, stating, "If anyone needs any help, you can DM." Meanwhile, many are exchanging resources and asking for assistance with preparation for the OA—consisting of 22 questions on math and machine learning topics.
"The OA is of 1 hour on June 28, between 2-6 PM," mentioned a candidate, highlighting the structured yet compact format of the assessment.
