pre sure umich has a better CS program

#

but if u were talking prestige Duke prolly takes it

#

both r solid tho fs I would look at the financials the most of those were the two you are considering

humble reef
#

i mean, personally id look at cost

#

and id go umich but im also a simp

quick sapphire
#

ye

#

might

#

Just to lyk

humble reef
#

yeah?

quick sapphire
#

One big complaint about umich is

#

The math department super hard

#

specifically calc 2 for some odd reason

humble reef
#

well i hate calc ✨

quick sapphire
#

so people suggest taking it at a Cc and transferring the credit

humble reef
#

im a stats person full and through

#

ah im not getting math credits, i took an ib sl course

quick sapphire
#

what does that mean

humble reef
#

no wait i have ap stats

#

i take full ib classes, and they have sl/hl

#

kinda like major/minoring

#

and unis dont rly take credits for sl, you have to score a certain amount for hl

quick sapphire
#

I c

#

yea so like

#

I think for LSA cs u need calc 1 and 2 at least

#

Idk I haven’t really looked at the reqs yet

humble reef
#

well i have to take those classes for sure

#

and probably ask for help in them lmao

#

idk what it is i just dont rly like calculus

#

theres stats requirements :>

river vessel
#

Data science gang

river vessel
#

I swear if I gotta take that again ima be so mad

humble reef
#

actually this is a hell more detail

#

yeah u need calc 1/calc 2

river vessel
#

You need Lin alg too

#

😭

carmine lagoon
#

this may sound stupid but can i completely ignore calculus if i do psych

#

i found a psych worksheet and i dont see calc i just see statistics

#

i like calc but my teacher this yr sucks ass and im not learning anything

#

i like statistics

#

i also doubt i'd need it for a polisci minor LMAO

humble reef
#

kekw a mood

#

ill decide more ig once they send the cs thing that they just cant have time to also decide on within like 3 months

carmine lagoon
#

humble reef
cunning hamlet
#

im confused

humble reef
#

theres a seperate selection for cs

tribal umbra
cunning hamlet
#

i applied for cs rd but got waitlisted

humble reef
#

u got waitlisted to umich?

quick sapphire
#

ye ima just take calc 1 this upcoming year then calc 2 at a community college virtually over next summer and then transfer the cred

tribal umbra
humble reef
#

then u wont get a cs decision. they make a decision once u get admitted

tranquil imp
#

I heard calc at umich is ass

humble reef
river vessel
#

I do not wanna take Lin alg

quick sapphire
#

ye they said calc 2 at umcih is the hardest math class

#

They said calc 3 4 and Lin alg

#

Are the easiest

river vessel
#

Isn’t Calc 2 just BC Calc

quick sapphire
#

Like

humble reef
#

i just havent heard great opinions about easier calc profs

quick sapphire
#

Rigor wise

humble reef
#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

river vessel
#

Damn

tranquil imp
#

iirc i think calc is taught by like mostly grad students and it’s really hard, i could be thinking of the wrong class but im unsure

quick sapphire
#

Yea it is but umich math is rigorous af I heard

river vessel
#

I can never do polar and series again tho

humble reef
#

well we will cross that bridge eventually lmao

quick sapphire
#

aye

humble reef
#

chris have u signed up for a campus day yet?

quick sapphire
#

Nah not yet kinda got a packed schedule

humble reef
#

understandable

#

they're all in april so at least check the dates

carmine lagoon
#

yeah im 99% sure the only obstacle would be LSA's core requirements needing a QR (quantitative reasoning) course, but statistics or anything psychometric-ish would satisfy

#

thank god

quick sapphire
#

Quantitative reasoning course ?

tranquil imp
#

is campus day like an admitted student visit event?

humble reef
#

yeah

quick sapphire
#

Pre sure even calc covers that

#

I was told by an alumni that stats 250 is hard as well

#

hella kids flunk it apparently

tranquil imp
#

If y’all have a lot of AP credits my friend who went to umich told me they took so little of his credits

quick sapphire
#

It looks like ap stats

humble reef
#

isnt stats 250 ap stats?

quick sapphire
#

so I’m not sure ab that one

#

yea

humble reef
#

exactly

tranquil imp
#

Dual enrollment though they’ll take those

humble reef
#

i know im barely getting credits

#

maybe for like 1-2 ib things and 1/2 ap classes

quick sapphire
#

They barely take AP and the ones they do have to be like 4 or 5

tranquil imp
#

I’m hoping they take my dual enrollment I have 60 hours šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

quick sapphire

humble reef

texas is too warm

#

i vibe with the weather here

tranquil imp
#

there’s a whole bunch of people that haven’t heard back yet, if you look on the umich rd thread on a2c people are pissed

quick sapphire
#

umich seems pretty flexible with their dual enrollment creds I think

#

Oh

#

That’s odd

humble reef
tranquil imp
#

It’s really annoying because it’s like

humble reef
#

i say if u dont get it by tuesday then ask them

#

cause honors deadlines are soon asf

quick sapphire
#

Imo

tranquil imp
#

You’re so right

quick sapphire
#

Honors isn’t worth I don’t think

tranquil imp
#

Why’s that

humble reef
#

idk if it is or not but imma apply for it anyways

quick sapphire
#

Idk I looked into it a little bit

humble reef
#

one essay is 250 words, other is 1k 🤩

tranquil imp
#

wtf

quick sapphire
#

it seems like there’s not much of a benefit

tranquil imp
#

do you guys already live in Michigan

quick sapphire
#

And it’s harder classes

astral halo
#

going for harder classes at UMich is kinda wacko behavior ngl

quick sapphire
#

In simple terms it just looks like extra work for no gain

humble reef
#

if u want weather info lmk kekw

river vessel
#

The fact that umich only takes 5s is crazy

quick sapphire
#

tranquil imp
#

also I feel like I have a pretty good chance of getting accepted next week because the residency office sent me this personal email saying they’re going to try to consider me for in state tuition but they need like 5 documents sent in the next 20 days

humble reef
#

oooo

tranquil imp
#

so like why would they do all that just to reject me…

humble reef

Still gotta decide whether I want to randomize or room w/ someone I know

tranquil imp

quick sapphire
#

I might room with my friend from school but idk yet

humble reef
#

honestly i may just hit someone random

#

since no one im close to got in 😭

astral halo
#

The only sad thing about going to UMich is if I went to MSU I was gonna room with bestie 😭

humble reef
#

dude msu gave jackass aid

quick sapphire
#

msu too expensive and their programs r no where near as good as umich

tranquil imp
#

my partner got this personalized letter from umich for their decision saying like, hey we can’t offer you direct admission to stamps but if you go to anywhere else for a year and get a 3.2 gpa you can immediately transfer in as a sophomore with no strings attached

#

We looked everywhere online I couldn’t find a thing about it

quick sapphire
#

not sure

humble reef
#

then thats a guaranteed transfer

quick sapphire
#

I’ve never heard of it

#

I’m sure it’s true though

humble reef
#

theyd attend a different school for one year, afterwards can go umich stamps

tranquil imp
#

That’s super cool

quick sapphire

astral halo
#

I know one dude at Tulane and yeah that sounds about right

carmine lagoon

ive seen one classroom on her posts and it was her complaining about writing bio notes verbatim from the whiteboard

tranquil imp
#

Frat hazing is like no joke at michigan

carmine lagoon
#

that's all they do 😭

quick sapphire
#

umich is very work hard play hard from what I’ve heard

carmine lagoon
#

yeah michigan def has that too but it's so massive you can ignore it

#

yes i'm very much about that but tulane is smaller and it's harder to avoid

#

because the ENTIRE CITY is like that

#

always an excuse to get wasted

quick sapphire
#

well umich has like a shit ton of students so

#

it’s easy to get away from a crowd

tranquil imp
#

all this talk i want to get in sooooooo bad im going to PUKE should I really call later this week

humble reef
#

small school is neat!

#

theres also smaller communities within umich

carmine lagoon
#

it's cool but i'm tiiired of it

#

yes definitely

#

i'm excited to find niches that are still robust yknow

quick sapphire
#

It didn’t really seem to me like something I wanted to do just because it looked like more work for no reason on top of an already difficult major

tranquil imp
humble reef
#

like my grade is around 100 people, id say its rather nice

quick sapphire
#

you

carmine lagoon
#

i really want umich honors for this reason (also central housing) but i can find community elsewhere

#

housing is the main thing tbh

tranquil imp
#

tbh idk if I want to do honors im just gonna leverage that info in my conversation with the admissions office to pressure them to release decisions lmfao

humble reef
#

just say you rly wanna apply and theres no way u can wihtout a decision

#

just beg for release lmao

quick sapphire
#

u shouldn’t have any issue meeting people

humble reef
#

anyways imma go sleep bc im trying to not fuck up my sleep too much before my may exams 😭

hope u get the results biscut

carmine lagoon
#

in 8th grade my senior buddy i was assigned ended up getting rejected by washu like i did
and she's now a senior at michigan in psych, loves it

tranquil imp
#

for those who heard back on friday were y’all ea or rd?

random minnow
#

I think for me it was demonstrated interest tbh. I put things in my essay that were super specific to the school

random minnow
random minnow
# tranquil imp for those who heard back on friday were y’all ea or rd?

Regular decision. Even if people were EA their application got moved to the RD pool if they got ā€œpostponedā€. The fact you have not received it yet is abnormal for both regular decision and EA. My best guess would be that you are qualified for the school (or else they would reject you), and basically you are on a waitlist 2.0 for students they want more than just the regular waitlist. The reason I say this is because they are probably seeing in the next few days if any students will immediately commit to other schools which will open up spots, which go to students like you first. I think your chances are really good to get in tbh and i hope the best for you

#

That’s one possibility, the other is that they are so swamped that they literally didn’t have time to get to your application until now, and they didn’t want to postpone decisions longer just because of a few hundred applicants so they just released the majority on Friday and the next ones will release as they finish

random minnow
#

I would be very upset though considering you only have a few weeks after April 1 to make the enrollment deposit

#

Literally everyone here is praying and wishing the best for you so you can get in hopefully

#

What yall estimating for CS Advance Selection rate this year

#

Considering RD round was hella waitlists

random minnow
#

I feel like acceptance rates will be so low this year

solemn trellis
#

I hope they don't absolutely obliterate the acceptance rate for it

#

considering before this shit started anybody could do CS 😭

#

I suspect they are just trying to weed out students who aren't 100% interested in CS

#

Before you could say you were interested in philosophy or smth but if you met the cs requirements you could just declare cs šŸ’€

tranquil imp
#

even down to having the summer 2023 application opened up on our end like i was mentioning

tranquil imp
#

i hope i don’t come in here and disappoint all of you next week 😸

random minnow
#

I hope not

tacit blaze
#

@astral halo have u gotten into the CS advanced selection?

#

I’m actually curious about when the cs advanced selection would come out Cauz it says the decision for me is postponed to early April

tacit blaze
#

Does anyone know?

topaz thicket
#

probably this Friday

hot moat
#

I had emailed them

#

They said a week after RD

#

Same timeline as EA

tranquil imp
#

Does anyone know if it’s easy to switch majors at UMich

humble reef
#

I believe its rather possible early on within the same like college right

fickle cloak
#

depends on what you're trying to switch into

Ohhh thanks guys!

#

hi do we have to submit loci thru their emails for waitlisted people

humble reef
#

i dont think they're really taking loci for waitlists, as locis were offered for people to do applying ea/rd

tranquil imp
#

Y’all

#

What does this mean!!!!

#

They cancelled my fall app and admitted me to this I have no idea what this is

#

Is it prestigious or is this bad I have no idea

quick sapphire
#

This happened to one of my friends as well

#

she applied EA

tranquil imp
#

Okay so it’s required

quick sapphire
#

Yea

#

u basically start in the summer

#

Rather than the fall

tranquil imp
#

I like

#

It’s so weird that they’re doing this because I have 60 college credit hours

quick sapphire
#

ye

#

U can probably graduate early

tranquil imp
#

And I have a job I need to stay at this summer too

quick sapphire

tranquil imp

I hope so too thank you so much!!!!

humble reef
#

my main thing is do u like have to do the summer thing?

fast ivy
#

it’s crazy how bridge starts a couple days before summer classes start

humble reef
#

bc it seems like they want u to do 6 credits that summer

carmine lagoon
#

@tranquil imp from what I can tell, you’re required to go this summer, but it will help you in the long run with graduating

#

I think it’s meant to give ppl from certain backgrounds a jumpstarted path or something

tranquil imp
#

yeahhhh

#

I sent them an email because like

#

I’m gonna try my best to wiggle my way out of it because I have rent and a full time job and I don’t want to be an almost 21 year old at this summer program LOL

#

and they haven’t even figured out my residency yet and I can’t come up with 18,000 dollars to pay for a two-credit summer program

topaz thicket
#

šŸ’€

#

at least you can come

#

and we can have boba in the fall

tranquil imp
#

I knowwww im so excited. If I can’t appeal the decision with them or figure out financial aid I’ll just finish my two years at UT and apply for grad school here but we’ll see what happens

Instagram is cool if we get enough ppl yeah

#

Does anyone know if accepting your financial aid offer have any effects on scholarships currently in review like LSA 4 year scholarship?

#

Like I don’t want them to think that since I’m going here anyways, they don’t have to gimme the money (tell me I’m overthinking this one) 😭

If I go to wisco business over umich Econ is that a horrible choice

random minnow
#

It looks like it’s a conditional attendance program @tranquil imp for lower privileged students. Do you go to a particularly bad HS?

#

**U-M's Summer Bridge Program, a seven-week residential program for students who show the ability to excel in less-than-ideal conditions, but need a bit of guidance in order to make sure they succeed at the college level.

Each year the program admits about 230 to 250 students who fit that mold, and during the seven weeks students live on campus and take three courses that count toward their graduation requirements. They also get group and one-on-one mentoring so they can adjust to the rigors of university life.**

quick sapphire
#

not entirely sure how they determine this though

#

bc around

#

~8 students got into umich from my school

random minnow
quick sapphire
#

and 1 of them got this

#

and theyre a solid student that I know pretty well

random minnow
#

I thought it had more to Do with if you went to a bad school like an alternative school

#

Not if you took a gap year lol

#

That’s really weird ngl

quick sapphire
#

I mean i do go to a bad school

#

but like still

#

its odd like

random minnow
#

Like particularly bad or just average,

#

?

quick sapphire
#

low income so

#

like

#

pre bad

#

but like

#

7 get in w/ out it and 1 gets in with it

#

and most of us have had the same grades and same classes

random minnow
#

Yeah

quick sapphire
#

so its a bit odd

random minnow
#

I also go to a low income public school. But I don’t think anyone at my school would receive this. It’s weird how it works

quick sapphire
#

ye weird if u ask me

#

seems unnecessary especially for a student who has graduated HS and has been working full-time

#

sounds like they should be able to handle the adjustment just fine

random minnow
#

The part that sucks though is you have to pay for it and people who are lower income or in poorer learning environments are the type of people who literally cannot afford to take 2 months off and pay

quick sapphire
#

ye

#

the good thing is umich has solid FA

river vessel
random minnow
#

Like the school misunderstood their education

#

Or their academic record

river vessel
#

Umich is actually so annoying for releasing Ross decisions like 2 weeks before the deadline

random minnow
#

Idk

quick sapphire
river vessel
#

Yeah but now I’m stressing for 2 more weeks

quick sapphire
#

Lol

#

ye fair enough

river vessel
#

I just wanna be able to commit

#

Somewhere lmao

quick sapphire
#

agree

#

ima commit to umich soon just waiting for financials

#

and CS advance selection

fluid swift
river vessel
#

Yeah if I don’t get into Ross ima prolly major in data science

fluid swift
#

intl but kinda close so that’s prob why

river vessel
#

Also why tf is there CSE data science and LSA data science

#

Mad annoying

quick sapphire
#

wym

quick sapphire
#

CoE?

#

its good tho

river vessel
#

Apparently they are taught by the same professors

quick sapphire
#

cause if u dont get CS u have something to fall back on in both schools

river vessel
#

Yeah college of cse

random minnow
#

I literally love every single aspect about UMich except the cost šŸ’”šŸ’”

river vessel
#

What is the difference tho

#

I can’t find it

quick sapphire
#

id have to check

#

probably similar to the differences between

#

CS-LSA nd CS-CoE

river vessel
#

What’s the difference there

#

I looked and all taught by same professors

quick sapphire
#

general reqs mainly

#

and CS-LSA is 8 less credits

random minnow
#

The cost is the one thing holding me back. I really hope I get good financial aid / scholarships or something

river vessel
#

Just you have lsa instead of COE career center

#

How do you get into data science in the coe

high nebula
#

LSA vs CoE is not different

river vessel
#

Do you need to transfer? Or is it impossible @

high nebula
#

other than the other reqs you need

quick sapphire
#

no

high nebula
#

for example

quick sapphire
#

in CoE u can choose whatever

high nebula
#

lsa needs some humanitieis things

river vessel
#

I was admitted to lsa tho

high nebula
#

engineering needs physics and chem

quick sapphire
#

if u want Data science you just get the pre reqs for it

#

and commit

#

but u gotta be in CoE

river vessel
#

Can I transfer into coe

#

Or nah

high nebula
#

yes

quick sapphire
random minnow
#

Which college is the most selective? Ross ?

quick sapphire
river vessel
#

Yes

#

Oo

quick sapphire
river vessel
#

That’s actually lit af

high nebula
#

personally lsa cs >>.

random minnow
quick sapphire
#

ye CS-LSA is better

river vessel
#

I calculated it tho and once ur admitted to Michigan Ross acceptance is like 30-35%

quick sapphire
#

imo

#

sounds better

#

Cross-campus transfer rate for ross is not bad

river vessel
#

Data science COE sounds cooler tho

quick sapphire
#

its like 25%

quick sapphire
#

will prolly try for it

high nebula
#

i mean

#

it depends

#

but ross degree is mostly useless

river vessel
#

So like 8600 kids apply

quick sapphire
#

for transfer

#

if ur in umich already and wanna move into ross

river vessel
#

I heard it’s harder

#

To transfer

#

That’s lit af tho

quick sapphire
#

21% acceptance rrate

undone breach
#

anyone know the stats for CS O_o

quick sapphire
#

its not bad

quick sapphire
river vessel
#

Yeah so like 10% harder ig

quick sapphire
#

this is the first year

undone breach
#

ooo ok

river vessel
#

But yeah like 8500 kids apply and 800 get accepted

quick sapphire
#

no

river vessel
#

But only 20% of those kids get into Michigan

high nebula
#

no

#

its easier

quick sapphire
#

pre sure ross has a lower acceptance rate than that

river vessel
#

So really 800/2000 kids

high nebula
#

everyone who wants business applies ross... but if you're rejected from ross its impossible to transfer in later on

#

so the transfer applicants are less competitive

quick sapphire
#

fair

#

thats true

#

didnt think of that

#

Ima try to transfer for sophomore year

river vessel
#

Yeah but I’d rather know now

high nebula
#

are you trying to do business

river vessel
#

Cause like if I don’t get into Ross

#

I’ll prolly go to wisco for business

high nebula
#

if you dont get ross

river vessel
#

I would hate to go to Mich and then get rejected to transfer

high nebula
#

and you want to do business

#

then dont come to michigan'

#

you cant transfer into ross if you're rejected as a high schooler

river vessel
#

Yeah ik

#

Id do data science and econ

#

Instead

high nebula
#

ah

river vessel
#

But like

high nebula
#

that could work tbh

quick sapphire
#

i mena

river vessel
#

I mean id get a good mba

quick sapphire
#

you can always apply to CS

river vessel
#

With Michigan name

#

Lowkey

#

I fw coding

quick sapphire
#

umich is good af cs

river vessel
#

I did Ap comp sci and then data analysis with Python

#

In highschool

quick sapphire
#

top5 cs on CSRankings

river vessel
#

So I like to code

high nebula
#

but anyway

quick sapphire
#

eh

high nebula
#

you have to apply for cs

river vessel
#

How hard is it to transfer to CS

high nebula
#

unknwon

quick sapphire
#

doesnt matter if its bad for undergrad

river vessel
#

Ehhh ik advanced selection

quick sapphire
#

still shows its good

high nebula
#

because its the first year for the new systejm

river vessel
#

But I don’t think they would say no tbh

high nebula
quick sapphire
#

yea this is the first year CS advance selection

river vessel
#

Like if I really asked

high nebula
#

i just dont think its t5

river vessel
#

Wisco Cs is tied with Michigan

#

It’s like 14

quick sapphire
high nebula
#

mich engineering is really good

river vessel
#

It’s 1 place better

quick sapphire
#

fair

high nebula
#

i mean in general

#

fro jobs and stuff

#

mich name is better knwon

river vessel
#

I was impressed with wisco’s business school

#

Tbh

quick sapphire
#

in general umich is just solid

river vessel
#

Yeah ima need to send some emails

quick sapphire
#

shouldnt have any issue getting good jobs and internships outta CS

#

as long as u are a good student and know ur shit

river vessel
#

I just gotta cop a 5 on BC Calc

quick sapphire
#

fs

river vessel
#

Cause Calc 2 at Michigan is a FORCE

quick sapphire
#

yea

#

ima take it at a CC

#

next summer

#

and transfer cred

river vessel
#

That’s smart

#

So annoying they don’t take a 4 tho

quick sapphire
#

yea i heard calc 2 at umich is aids as fuckk

quick sapphire
#

also

river vessel
#

Every other school takes a 4

quick sapphire
#

umich LSA u only need calc 2

#

calc 1 and 2

river vessel
#

Oh shit no Lin alg?

quick sapphire
#

i wanna say for CoE you need more

river vessel
#

Or multi

quick sapphire
#

i dont think so

river vessel
#

Data science you need Lin alg

quick sapphire
#

math 115 is calc 1 math 116 is calc 2

#

math 215 is multivar

river vessel
#

Oooo

#

I lowkey would so major in comp sci

#

Easier than data science tbh

#

Cause data science you need hella advanced math and stats

#

Plus I’m taking a computer architecture class rn

#

You think comp sci is harder than Econ tho

quick sapphire
#

ye fs

#

i dont think econ is too tough

high nebula
#

meh

quick sapphire
#

cant say though im not in college

high nebula
#

econ is hard

quick sapphire
#

well

high nebula
#

it gets very math heavy

river vessel
#

Yeah Econ is hard I’ve heard

#

And I at least enjoy coding

quick sapphire
#

i figure CS is harder

river vessel
#

Rather than fucking doing economical math 😭

quick sapphire
#

by a lil

river vessel
#

The funny thing is that Ross is easier than Econ I’ve heard

quick sapphire
#

lmao

#

idk ive heard mixed opinions

#

everyone says ross is easy but i havent actually met a ross person

#

who talks about the classes

river vessel
#

Yeah but they can’t be that hard

#

And at least they are interesting

#

Some of the Econ courses just seem so boring

quick sapphire
#

one of my parents works with a guy who graduated from ross and he said its pretty tough and very competitive

#

I guess something with the grading

river vessel
#

Def cut throat environment

#

But the actual classes have a curve prolly

#

So

quick sapphire
#

something about the grading being based on others

#

like

river vessel
#

Yeah curved

#

That’s stupid Actuslly

quick sapphire
#

curved yes but like

#

its diff a lil from how i was explained it

river vessel
#

That actually makes for such a shit environment

quick sapphire
#

like a % of the class willget an A and some Bs and then some lower

river vessel
#

Wisco doesn’t do that ik

quick sapphire
#

like each grade has its own percentage

#

allowed

river vessel
#

That’s actually the dumbest shit ever

quick sapphire
#

or something like that

river vessel
#

😭

#

That’s stupid af

quick sapphire
#

All BBA core classes grades are to be distributed as: ≤40% A- or above; ≤90% B or above; ≄10% B-or below.
In BBA elective classes grades are to be distributed as: ≤60% A- or above; ≤90% B or above; ≄10% B- or below.

river vessel
#

I thought Michigan was like an 1000/10 school last year and now the more I learn the more Im finding negatives

#

That’s not actually that bad tho

quick sapphire
#

ye not terrible

#

but still

river vessel
#

Being in the top 40%

#

90% of kids get above a B

#

So that’s lowkey grade inflation haha

quick sapphire
#

yea but ATLEAST 10% of kids get a B- or below

#

and only 40% can have As

river vessel
#

Oh yeah

#

Damn

#

That’s actually a huge negative tbh

quick sapphire
#

ye which is why i think its so competitive

#

cause no one wants to be in that 10%

#

or even the other 50%

river vessel
#

Yeah that’s crazy

quick sapphire
#

ye

#

sounds a lil crazt

#

still gonna try to transfer tho

#

LMFAO

river vessel
#

The name is worth it

#

Haha

quick sapphire
#

yup

#

altho

#

be prepared ig if u do go to ross

#

idk how prevalent it is on campus

#

but the ross students are kinda like a meme

#

people consider them stuck up and like douchey so the students are called rossholes

#

lmfao

river vessel
#

Yeah I figured

#

But like serves em right they fucking got into Ross 😭

#

I could not deal with that bullshit tho as an Econ kid

#

Like I could not be a second class citizen

quick sapphire
#

ye

#

exactly why i didnt appl econ

#

ur basically like

#

Ross's little brother

#

i def couldnt do that

river vessel
#

Yeah exactly

quick sapphire
#

ye

#

i heard u dont miss much if ur not in ross freshman year anyways

#

only thing u miss out on is maybe the name for a freshman summer internship

#

but tbh its quite difficult to get freshman summer internships at big name places just because u have barely even been in school ur only getting gen reqs

river vessel
#

Yeah exactly

#

That’s why you can transfer in

quick sapphire
#

ye

#

thats why im looking to

#

sounds like a good plan to me

#

and there is only two essays u just need to have the pre reqs for the transfer

#

and they dont seem to difficult its just like

#

1 econ class, calc 1, and a first year writing

river vessel
#

What if you don’t get accosted tho

#

You’ll just do Cs?

quick sapphire
#

CS

#

rn I’m just waiting to make sure I even get CS

#

I’ll probably attend either way tho

hot moat
#

I’ll only consider UMich if I get CS

quick sapphire
#

I’m just still deciding if I don’t get CS or Ross what I’ll do

#

major wise

quick sapphire
#

I’m also in state though so

hot moat
#

Ah

#

I’m intl

quick sapphire
#

cheaper tuition close to home etc

hot moat
#

I’ve waited so long

#

They deferred me

quick sapphire
#

Damn

hot moat
#

From adv sel to CS

#

I’ve been waiting for 2 months lol

quick sapphire
#

Annoying man

#

What’re u between

river vessel
#

I could also go to Purdue honors for finance + business analytics

#

But I lowkey like Mich and wisco better

quick sapphire
#

ye I’ll prolly run data sci

#

if I get into Ross I may try to double major CS

#

If impossible I’ll prolly try Poli sci International studies or smth like that

#

maybe even Econ if it’d look good

hot moat
quick sapphire
hot moat
#

Ruled out usc

#

So basically I’ll go duke if I don’t get UMich CS

quick sapphire
#

😭😭

hot moat
#

Usc is 91+k/year

quick sapphire
#

tbh usc looks nice af but I’m too broke to do allat

hot moat
#

I don’t want to pay 400k

worn folio
hot moat
#

For usc cs

quick sapphire
#

fair

quick sapphire
#

usc is monumentally overpriced

hot moat
#

Only a little left

quick sapphire
#

They’re a solid school ye but

#

The weather carries

#

Lowkey

river vessel
hot moat
#

Yeah duke is rlly good

#

Just concerned about cs there

quick sapphire
#

Ye idk how they fair in CS

worn folio
quick sapphire
#

they’ve got some prestige though

river vessel
#

It’s Duke you’ll be chill

hot moat
quick sapphire
river vessel
#

Adv sel is lowkey dumb

#

Just hire more Cs staff

hot moat
#

Lol it’s not that easy

river vessel
#

Same thing w Ross

quick sapphire
#

I don’t think it’s necessarily about the staff either

hot moat
#

Duke just poached UMich engineeeing dean

river vessel
#

Like 500 kids be fr

#

Nah they said cause the classes got filled up

quick sapphire
#

I think they just want it to start to gain more prestige

river vessel
#

So more professors more classes

quick sapphire
#

prolly one reason yea but

#

If they make it selective

#

It’ll gain more prestige

#

They’ll prolly end up making a CS school

river vessel
#

Yeah they should

quick sapphire
#

and doing a dual degree program between cs and business for Ross

river vessel
#

Also the gym being rebuilt for 2 years is a force

hot moat
#

They don’t admit by major

#

So they need adv sel

quick sapphire
#

It’d probbaly fair really well to be honest

river vessel
#

Rn the gym is in a tent

hot moat
#

So that pple don’t apple for biology and actually go into CS

river vessel
#

😭

quick sapphire
#

no

#

There’s more than one gym Lol

river vessel
#

The main one

#

Right

quick sapphire
#

Eh

#

From what I’ve heard

river vessel
#

All I know is club swim practices at a local pool in Ann Arbor now

#

Which is so dumb

quick sapphire
#

There is like

river vessel
#

Haha

hot moat
#

Bro

quick sapphire
#

3 other gyms which are good

#

so it’s no big deal

hot moat
#

Can I literally get one acceptance where everything works 😭

river vessel
#

Bet

hot moat
#

I just got UMich usc and duke

hot moat
#

And not even CS at UMich

quick sapphire
#

U might still get it

hot moat
#

Yeh at least

#

Yeah I’m hoping

#

I wrote a loci

quick sapphire
#

I don’t think they’re gonna be too selective this year with the CS

hot moat
#

And told them I have fam in area who are also wolverines

river vessel
#

I love wisco It’s just giving up the prestige of Mich is hard

#

So ima try to see if I love Mich as much

quick sapphire
#

Just because it’s new

hot moat
#

So high chance of me committing if you give me CS

river vessel
#

And decide

quick sapphire
#

ye slater Ross is solid

#

for prestige

river vessel
#

Yeah but I’m banking off not getting in

quick sapphire
river vessel
#

My application was good but it’s hard

#

And as a white oos male chances are slim

#

Cause they boast being super diverse

quick sapphire
#

even if u don’t get in I think umich is a solid pick if u want a fun experience and have ur eyes on another one of their programs

river vessel
#

It’s just hard giving up business

#

When I have everything I want at wisco yk

#

Like should I go to Michigan just for the prestige?

quick sapphire
#

Fs where u trying to go with business

river vessel
#

I mean at wisco their job placement is better than Mich econ it seems

quick sapphire
#

does wisco place IB MBB ?

river vessel
#

Like Investment banking club there places super well

quick sapphire
#

I’d say

river vessel
#

Mich Econ doesn’t place IB

#

I was looking at their job placements

quick sapphire
#

Ik only Ross

#

Expected though

river vessel
#

Yeah

quick sapphire
#

Why take an LSA Econ student if u can take a Ross kid

river vessel
#

Exactly

#

I mean id make a good ass pitch

#

But my app will just get tossed without the Ross name

hot moat
#

I’m an Indian intl in cs

#

So rip

quick sapphire
#

If u think wisco would get u the career you want I think it’s more worth it than the prestige

#

but if u get Ross

#

Go Ross fs

river vessel
#

Oh for sure

quick sapphire
#

U seem to be set on umich

#

even without Ross so

#

i understand the frustrations

river vessel
#

I’m just trying to make a decision assuming I don’t get into Ross

#

Cause I don’t wanna get my hopes up yk

#

Yeah it’s just unfortunate you can get into the school and not study what you want

#

And you can’t really join any business clubs

quick sapphire
#

U could potentially@minor in business at Ross

river vessel
#

Minor is a 25% acceptance rate šŸ’€

#

😭

quick sapphire
#

Lmao

#

not terrible tbh ig

river vessel
#

Yeah but ur competing against kids who are already at Michigan

#

So everyone’s super smart

quick sapphire
#

fair enough

#

ima start working on my essays this summer for the Ross transfer

river vessel
#

Yeah def do that

#

So ur not stressing

quick sapphire
#

Then I’ll just tweak em throughout the year cause I’m not sure how busy I’ll be

#

Ye

quick sapphire
#

plenty of opportunities there

hot moat
#

Yeah not sure how good CS is tho like the actual academics and career opportunities

#

Trying to figure that out

#

But everything else is great

quick sapphire
#

although it’s probably not amazing for like CS itself

#

The Duke name will probably carry it enough for jobs and stuff

#

At least I’d assume

solemn trellis
#

Anyways with this CS advance selection discussion going on, I think DS is closest to CS if you don’t get in

#

It’s 2 stats courses you need to take and one ML and one database EECS course

#

compared to CE where you need to take 7 CE classes

#

They will probably gatekeep these majors too next year bro 🤣

hot moat
hot moat
#

since they have cs in both lsa and eng

#

they can have a much more eng CE

hot moat
#

im guessing CS was getting too crowded

#

so they started gatekeeping

#

now the excess will go into DS

#

and if that gets too crowded then rip

astral halo
#

Cause if they could do 100% last year it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the incoming amount of CS majors to be cut in half or anything

hot moat
#

It’s possible they have too many CS majors for many years now

#

And they want to substantially lower the intake this time

#

To make up for it

#

Anyway no point speculating

#

Just 5 days to wait

weary crypt
#

ty!

weary crypt
fickle cloak
weary crypt
#

šŸ‘€

fickle cloak
#

i guess there is a lot of students in LSA applying for it

lethal flicker
#

I mean it’s a pretty sweet scholarship

fickle cloak
#

facts

weary crypt
#

yeah i think so

lethal flicker
#

Single-handedly took Mich from being the most expensive acceptance to least expensive, for me at least

fickle cloak
#

i can't get the full amount or else i will be paid to go

#

but any amount helps a lot

weary crypt
#

lmao

#

that’d be nice huh 🤣

lethal flicker
#

are there variants of how much you can get? I thought if you got it at all OOS you would get 25k and if you got it at all instate you’d get 15k

weary crypt
#

they said ā€œup toā€

#

:(

lethal flicker
#

oh

#

ahaha I guess I really did get lucky or do well… cuz I really needed that 25k

#

wait so mich RD hasn’t come out yet, yes?

fickle cloak
#

it came out
