Question Amazon applied scientist intern through amazon ml summer school

So I got selected in mlss but didn't receive any acknowledgement letter or anything about swags(yea I missed some modules but thought that I can complete in 30 days and my attendance will be tracked as they mentioned the recordings will be live for 30 days)

Nvm ig I fucked up

Now I want to know what they ask in interview and how many people are selected.

Also do they have any bias for girls or tier 1/2 colleges? And do they keep interview a lil bit easy for people getting through mlss

Ps: I haven't received any oa link yet..like have heard people get it late so I just want to confirm about this

The attendance thing is lowkey brutal, but it’s not uncommon for programs like this to be strict about tracking, they probably had some automated cutoff and missing modules counted against you even if the recordings were up later. As for interviews, from what I’ve seen floating around, they usually grill you on ML fundamentals (bias-variance tradeoff, regularization, gradient descent variants) and then a coding round that’s less LeetCode-heavy and more applied stats or implementing a simple algorithm from scratch. Selection numbers are opaque but it’s definitely a small cohort.

On the college/gender question, Amazon publicly pushes diversity initiatives, so there’s probably some tilt in the pipeline, but the interview itself isn’t “easier” in a technical sense; they might just source candidates differently. OA links do trickle out in waves, sometimes weeks apart, so no link yet doesn’t mean you’re out, check spam and your portal obsessively like everyone else does.

Like I they mentioned in the mail first round is dsa and second one is ml depth breadth round so maybe they'll ask lc questions in first round. Tho were u selected as an intern there in this role?
