- \+1 to the idea of considering taking off a semester per Rahul.  The beauty of OMSCS is that you can take up to a year off and return.  yes, you can finish OMSCS while at Meta (though some would advise against it) -- it is possible.
- GA will help you somewhat for coding rounds, but there's it's not the same as running a lot of DSA prep.  and you don't need DP prep for Meta (not sure about LI).
- Push to January if you're short on time.  There's an argument that there might even be more roles available at that time.
- *"This is honestly to get an experience of what the interviews are like. People pay for mock interviews and it just seems stupid of me to let go of such a chance."* \--&gt; while this is correct, I get the impression that you're not considering the massive, literal life changing money you could be earning by nailing your prep and cracking this interview.  Look at Alex's recent video on DSA and the value of your prep time -- now weigh that against the cost of doing mocks.  Mocks will have a massive ROI.
- not sure if you're going for E3, but if E4, please don't forget system design prep.  Also, don't fall into the trap of whiffing on behavioral interview prep.\
