[loud vault]

considering he has 45 schools, not really shocked 😂

[stable coyote]

Fair point

[loud vault]

i can't even imagine making 2 common app accounts and reentering all the info

[stable coyote]

are you even allowed to do that?

I recall common app not allowing two accounts - I may be wrong

[loud vault]

i think so as long u have a 2 emails

always a way to cheat the system

[stable coyote]

I mean their ToS doesn't allow it - but on the other hand I doubt they would notice or care unless someone went around screaming about it

[fringe sage]

no

thats not allowed

and thats not what i did

i shotgun ethically

[stable coyote]

ah I see

I assume you looked into which universities have seperate portals and stuff

gud for you

I would die from work if I did that

Just filling 6 portals was enough (MIT, Common App, UC app, HKU, HKUST, CUHK)

[fringe sage]

i started MIT like

10 minutes ago

LMAO

deadline extension 🤙

[bronze canyon]

Dam

Purdue is t5cs?

[fringe sage]

i mean

to me yes ❤️

but no not really

its t10 engineering and t20 cs

according to us news and world report

[bronze canyon]

Ah

[pastel fable]

I legitimately don't understand how Purdue CS has such a high ranking

[fringe sage]

why not

isnt it the first school to have a cs major in america

[pastel fable]

Because I'm a CS student here and the program is pretty mid IMO

A lot of the classes are really far out of date

[candid galleon]

r u in DE?

[pastel fable]

It's complicated. I go to high school in the morning then to Purdue's campus in the afternoon, it's not called DE though

I'm a "non-degree seeking student"

[fringe sage]

yeah i have a friend there and ive heard similar things

[pastel fable]

My father got his undergraduate degree in EE (disclaimer: not CS), and over 30 years later they still have the exact same curriculum

He now teaches courses that he took 30 years ago

Everywhere else he's taught has changed their curriculums multiple times

Don't get me wrong, both programs are really good and Purdue is an amazing value but I don't personally see T20

[loud vault]

now im not looking forward to my decision this week

jk

[pastel fable]

Just my personal opinion, obviously a lot of ppl see it a very different way than me and they know a lot more than me so take my opinion with a grain of salt

I have a ton of friends who are in the CS program from OOS and really like it

[dark oracle]

I’ve heard similar things from my father

He wants me to go to uw Madison even if I get into Purdue

[brittle hamlet]

6 days

[signal cobalt]

Ye i dont think thats gonna happen in purdue lol

Unless u get direct admission or sth

[signal cobalt]

I switched from madison to bucknell cuz shorter essay lol 😂

[dark oracle]

Lmao I think that’s how uw keeps their acceptance rates high

[errant badger]

It can for RD

after EA its rolling

Oh wait bro meant b4 rd💀

He's on crack

Weak

I got 3.89/1500/33

Weighted iirc 4.5 or 4.6

[loud vault]

making me jealous with that sat score

4.0/4.3/1410

[errant badger]

https://tenor.com/view/mayweather-for-you-throw-gif-8082067

[loud vault]

double it and pass it to the next person

[signal cobalt]

Really?

I just knew

[cunning marlin]

@errant badger hey no, i meant with it. Im international and i dont know much im currently winging everything

[errant badger]

thats the same thing

why would they release decisions at the same time

"yea we got all these decisions to go through but likeeee

lets release these ones too

[cunning marlin]

It's easier? Plus i got one from another uni before EA so hah

[errant badger]

what?

how is it easier to release double the decisions at once

and baylor isn't purdue

baylor isn't competetive at all and doesnt get the same volume of apps

also baylor doesn't fill up their whole class in EA

[cunning marlin]

Huh, thanks for the clarification. How do you know that?

[errant badger]

purdue says that

[cunning marlin]

Eh, my bad then

[pastel fable]

EA is priority admission for CS/Engineering so it'd be in bad faith to take applications if they can't possibly give a seat in RD

But the chances are very very slim

[mental prairie]

does honors college give (significant) scholarship money

i forgor to apply to it apparently

if they dont then i wont feel bad ig

[zenith elm]

I didn’t do it cuz I was too lazy to write the essays

[mental prairie]

same king

[worn geyser]

I think it’s just better for housing

I applied

And those essay were amazing

[topaz adder]

1510/4.0/mid asf ECs — do i have a chance?

[cunning marlin]

Bruh im here with a 1400, dw king you'll get in

[runic dust]

I am here with 1370, and CS major🥹

[mighty sky]

Yo what time

is it coming out

[topaz adder]

5:30pm EST

[river trout]

this is my dream college

3.6-7/1500/35

SHIT ass unweighted gpa but weighted is not that bad

my gpa for junior year was pristine though with all ap classes

[worn geyser]

Can anyone here chance me for purdue

[worn geyser]

Can anyone except that guy ^ chance me for purdue

[topaz adder]

@worn geyser DM

[pastel fable]

My Purdue gpa is higher than my hs one which is straight up sad

[stable coyote]

Are you sure, & how do you know?

[stable coyote]

no

[worn geyser]

Lmao eat bricks chimera was kind enough to do it

[stable coyote]

Thank you, I always wanted someones blessing to enjoy eating bricks!

[worn geyser]

My pleasure

[topaz adder]

it's actually 5pm, according to their website

[stable coyote]

cool

5pm checks out

[worn geyser]

Check pins lmao

[north trout]

damn 5pm😭 gotta get up at 3:30 am again

[stable coyote]

same

[worn geyser]

Same

[vivid void]

same

[signal cobalt]

5 for me

[bronze canyon]

I think I have a good chance
My GPA and sat are good
Mid ecs thou

[zenith elm]

Does it say decided for u guys or still completed

[signal cobalt]

Completed

For ea

Unless it changed in the past 20 hours ish lol 😂

[signal cobalt]

Ye same for me not decided yet

[runic dust]

https://tenor.com/view/nail-biter-nervous-anxious-nervoso-gif-15495062

[lethal kiln]

bro open at 9am w me

[zenith elm]

K

[pastel fable]

Ima wait till April 31

I got into a safety

So I’ll just see then if I’m going somewhere slightly better

[north trout]

does purdue value acads more than ecs?

[rocky anchor]

Yep yep I guess sooo

[pastel fable]

Purdue is one of the few schools that's going to back to mandating the SAT. Very telling imo

Honestly, they never stoppe drequiring it

It was test-flexible if you couldn't take it, but if you could take it you were expected to submti it

[errant badger]

no, literally none

purdue specifically says that if you don't have a tier 2 or above EC they won't let you in

[pastel fable]

xD

[topaz adder]

oh no 🥺🥺
anyways, fuck purdue. im omw to an acceptance from my safety — stanford

[errant badger]

u didn't alr get in????

i got my acceptance 3yrs ago

[topaz adder]

no i got, but i drop out and apply to stanford every year to satisfy my ego

[north trout]

bro stanford applied to me

[north trout]

i hope so

mid af ecs here

[topaz adder]

middue

[strong scroll]

I love your username

[topaz adder]

I love bananas too

[pastel fable]

Got in to Purdue

Let's go

[boreal prawn]

LFGG

[pastel fable]

Let's goooooo

[stable coyote]

wait elaborate

how before 16th

[pastel fable]

Idk, just got lucky ig

[stable coyote]

where

[pastel fable]

MyPurdue

[stable coyote]

the portal?

where in it though

[boreal prawn]

we're non-degree pu students

so we can see it earlier

[topaz adder]

huh how does that work

[boreal prawn]

cause we have access to myPurdue which is where you schedule classes look at transcript etc

and when i opened it to check a room for a class i got this notification

ig they sent out the notifications earlier

[topaz adder]

oh

congrats!!

[stable coyote]

wait could you explain in a more simpler way 💀

and also, congratulations :D

[pastel fable]

MyPuedue is a place for PU students to register for classes and such

[candid galleon]

the 16th?

[pastel fable]

If you enroll here you’ll use it to schedule classes, see your transcript, etc…

[topaz adder]

also, how exactly are you being admitted to Pursue while being a Purdue student?

[stable coyote]

time zones, its 16 for me

[pastel fable]

But we’re a corner case

[boreal prawn]

non-degree students

[stable coyote]

so how are you admitted while still being in purdue?

[pastel fable]

Bc we’re also hs students

[stable coyote]

ah

[pastel fable]

We applied to become full-time students

[stable coyote]

makes sense now

[boreal prawn]

our hs is on purdue campus

lol

[candid galleon]

congrats tho

[stable coyote]

congratulations :)

[loud vault]

Congrats

Us regular undergrad ppl next up

[errant badger]

oh damn purdue acceptances out?

RD soon ig then

[north trout]

congrats!!

[lethal kiln]

thats kinda cool

[bronze canyon]

Congrats

[boreal prawn]

thanks🙏🏽

[boreal prawn]

ik we are very lucky

[cunning marlin]

Congrats everyone

[river trout]

ur fine i had good junior year gpa, good rigor, 3.72 uw and it worked out for me

that's good to hear

i really shouldve applied ea though

i didnt know this was my dream school until after

[stable coyote]

just went into Purdue minecraft map

set it up with tnts

incase i get rejected

:)

[celest surge]

3.8+ uw, good ecs, good essays, 1450 superscore, cs major - do I have a chance?

[topaz adder]

pretty good shot

[celest surge]

im oos tho 😭

[topaz adder]

with your stats, it all comes down to essays, whether oos or not. if you've written decent ones with amazing LORs, it should be easy

[worn geyser]

Bro said the same for me

[errant badger]

RD?

[topaz adder]

i ain't an AO bro that's the best i can say

[worn geyser]

It was a compliment

Honesty you the nicest guy in this thread

[topaz adder]

aw thanks man

[fringe sage]

yo someone chance my dumbass

slightly under 3.7 uw; 1540 best sitting sat; 1550 superscore; computer engineering major

[worn geyser]

Walk in bro

Walk in

[somber leaf]

😎

[fringe sage]

😭

🙏

[worn geyser]

1540 is like 140 points above their 75th

Ok not 140

But 90

lol

Like damn bro u chilling

Meanwhile my dumbass with a 1410

[valid hawk]

scared about potential rejection 5 days later :(

[errant badger]

their 75th means nothing for Unis like this tho

bc the mf applying for nutrition is not hte same as the CS applicant

[worn geyser]

Incorrect.

[errant badger]

^

not incorrect

they admit by major

CS has significantly higher standards

like insanely higher

[worn geyser]

Purdue is one of the only colleges that mandates the SAT now

[worn geyser]

Yea

That’s why

IBE GANG WYA

[errant badger]

💪

[worn geyser]

You IBE?

[errant badger]

ye

[worn geyser]

LFG

We can get in right

[errant badger]

2nd choice bc i wanted to have CS as an opt tho

goal is I either dual major biz & CS

or get into IBE

[worn geyser]

For me IBE was first choice

[fringe sage]

yall

[worn geyser]

Then CS

Lmao

[errant badger]

how did they let u choose CS

it wasn't an opt for me

[worn geyser]

Idk

[errant badger]

like if it wasn't 2nd choice i couldn't pick it

[worn geyser]

Then it’s not CS

[fringe sage]

how competitive is purdue engineering?

[worn geyser]

I think

I think it’s eco

[errant badger]

pretty but not as much as CS

[errant badger]

o

[valid hawk]

what was the CS acceptance rate

[errant badger]

i've had 40 pizzas in the last 30 days

[fringe sage]

cause i applied comp.e

oh

[valid hawk]

20%?

[worn geyser]

Purdues engineering is one of the best in the country so I’d assume pretty competitive

[fringe sage]

probably closer to 10 than 20 imma be real

unfortunate reality of compsci

[valid hawk]

imma get rejected by every school i apply to

[fringe sage]

same

man

asdfgh

fuck

[topaz adder]

they practically aren't going to consider your 2nd choice if it's CS

[fringe sage]

LOL yeah

that

[errant badger]

wym

[valid hawk]

who puts second choice CS smh

[errant badger]

if you apply CS they wont consider 2nd choice

[worn geyser]

Even IBE has high standards because of engineering otherwise krannert has a 75% acceptance rate 💀💀

[errant badger]

or if CS is 2nd choice they wont consider it

[topaz adder]

it's so competitive that they're likely to fill their entire class with just peeps who've listed that as first choice

[errant badger]

okay so the 2nd thing i said

thats what i thoguht

[valid hawk]

yeah that is to be expected

[errant badger]

yea

[worn geyser]

This is correct no

[valid hawk]

and they'd fill most of their CS class with EA applicants too

although to a lesser extent than UMD

[topaz adder]

well yeah if you aren't admitted to CS but smth like gender studies is your 2nd choice then they'll consider you for that

[errant badger]

its like M&T and MET

[valid hawk]

speaking of UMD they didn't receive my $18 ACT report and asked me to screenshot my score

[errant badger]

Business & Eng

just not as cool

[worn geyser]

It’s m and t

Lmao

[valid hawk]

brh

[errant badger]

ye

[worn geyser]

Yes

See

M and t

And met

Are really competitive

So

[errant badger]

hehehaha

i applied CS/IBE RD

i made IBE MET V2

[worn geyser]

I chose whatever variant of m and t every college had

Like

UW Madison- CS BA

[errant badger]

stop saying this

you keep tricking me

its CS bach of arts

not CS Biz Admin

that's not an equiv

like at all

[worn geyser]

Yes but the curriculum is same

[errant badger]

no

[pastel fable]

GA Tech

[errant badger]

you can just dual major CS and business

[pastel fable]

Without a doubt

[errant badger]

UWisc lets u

[worn geyser]

Then we’re fine no

I’ll continue

[errant badger]

Purdue GA Tech smells

75% male pop is goofy

[errant badger]

no bc everytiem u say it i forget we had this convo

[valid hawk]

how much money do you have

[errant badger]

and i get a heart attack

bc i think i somehow missed a real CSBA program

[worn geyser]

UMNTC- business something information
UMass - business OIM

[valid hawk]

also gatech's CS curriculum is kind of goofy

[worn geyser]

Stuff like that

[errant badger]

wot

[worn geyser]

Yeah

[fringe sage]

purdue lol

[errant badger]

those are like fake M&T

[pastel fable]

I'd give up all my Purdue credit and all fin aid to go to GA Tech

[errant badger]

it's business with very minor engineering

[worn geyser]

Man don’t call them that they’re variants

[worn geyser]

Perhaps

[errant badger]

no i mean it doesnt even do what M&T does

M&T is dual degree

which means full curriculum in both

[fringe sage]

the problem with those is theres very little engineering, you might take like 2 database management classes

[errant badger]

^

I'm dual degreeing at both UMN and UMass if i get in

UMN its insanely easy to do, i j fill out one form

!chance purdue

[worn geyser]

I’ve seen UMass Amhersts oim curriculum it’s pretty engineering oriented in the third and 4 th years bro

[fringe sage]

theyre 95% business, 5% cs (and its super applied, you'll get basically no theoretical cs knowledge) but that might also be a plus tbh. OIM has a bit more CS its kinda an exception actually.
but you can just CS minor or some shit and youre chilling

[errant badger]

but you don't get a eng major or degree

[fringe sage]

so

[valid hawk]

never changed since the day i received the portal

[errant badger]

that's kinda really important for getting a job in yk, stem

[fringe sage]

that is problematic a bit sorta but

not really

esp in cs

[errant badger]

not in MAANG land

[pastel fable]

Other than myPurdue leaking admissions status no

[errant badger]

mfs want degrees

[fringe sage]

if its an swe position then it doesnt matter all that much

[errant badger]

MAANG land wants degrees

[worn geyser]

I think I’ll do that

[fringe sage]

then just get a masters like later

[errant badger]

i literally know ex-employees and hiring managers

[fringe sage]

its not that deep

lol

thats good

but its not that deep

[errant badger]

too much money and time

i could just dual degree

[fringe sage]

okay then do that

[worn geyser]

But at Wall Street?

Idk lmao

[errant badger]

why get a CS degree for WS

j go BA+Fin

[fringe sage]

if you wanna go to wall street then you need a finance degree

not need

but def a business degree

[dark oracle]

Wow

[fringe sage]

or econ or finance or sum

hii

[dark oracle]

Hi

[pastel fable]

For quant trading CS is OK

So long as you have sufficient algorithmic decision making experience

Prob need a masters with coursework in that area -- most undegrad programs don't offer that

Dartmouth?

Wait what's that 💀

[valid hawk]

I didn't bother researching about dartmouth bc i can't get a peer rec

[fringe sage]

i can write you one ❤️

LMAO

YEAH

[valid hawk]

but what am i supposed to write

[pastel fable]

Oh, I didn't know it was an Ivy

[fringe sage]

no its so funny tho

dartmouth cs is not worth ivy tuition

just go to state school

ivy networking kinda goes a long way tho

[errant badger]

this is assuming people pay full price

[valid hawk]

my counselor pushed me to apply to vandy CS

[errant badger]

ivies are a savior w aid

[valid hawk]

smh

[errant badger]

i applied bc they're the cheapest schools for me

fuck vandy

[fringe sage]

ill argue for brown, cornell, yale, columbia

thats it

[errant badger]

they dont have undergrad biz

[fringe sage]

starting salaries high as fuck

[valid hawk]

their cs curriculum looks so dogshit

duke too

[errant badger]

authentic antique cs

whats wrong

[fringe sage]

yales name rep with employers is kinda op

for no reason

it doesnt deserve it but whtaever

[valid hawk]

i applied to IU and RHIT for safety

[pastel fable]

Most undergrad CS hasn't changed since then

[valid hawk]

filled 20 common app spots

[fringe sage]

okay i dont know why mfs expect CS theory to change.

it doesn't.

[valid hawk]

at least not at undergrad level

[fringe sage]

sure it might be in C and not Python or Java or cpp or some shit

but like the theory will be the same

[errant badger]

that's not a bad thing

it should be C

if its not C that's an issue

[fringe sage]

bro i didnt say that

[pastel fable]

C is legitimately the best language to teach

[fringe sage]

yes

[valid hawk]

it should be Scheme

[fringe sage]

i agree

LOL

so true

[errant badger]

then they should teach rust

rustify everything

then they should mandate everyone use linux

[valid hawk]

in CMU they teach u OCaml

it's very brutal

[errant badger]

Berkeley > Harvard

i can't stand that school

[fringe sage]

okay bro who ever argued against this ever LOL. i would go as far as saying berkeley > harvard in general

harvard undergrad is fucking ass and i stand by it

[dark oracle]

Nah it’s COBAL

[errant badger]

its not its a great school

[fringe sage]

yeah fuck them

[errant badger]

but they consistently admit the worst fucking people

mfs are literally so egotistical and nerdy

[fringe sage]

ASU undergrad teaching > harvard

how we feel about this take

[errant badger]

yea img

[fringe sage]

i said teaching

[valid hawk]

write a doubly linked list in rust

[fringe sage]

so true

[pastel fable]

lol

[fringe sage]

i feel like a lot of mfs dont realize that theyre going to college to learn

[errant badger]

i don't care about learning

CS at half these schools is the same

i wanna have fun 👍 👍 👍

[fringe sage]

well whats wrong with state school?

its not a negative term

[valid hawk]

CSU?

[fringe sage]

oh that way

cali also has like 38 state schools or something

so

[errant badger]

this means CSU not UC

[fringe sage]

LMAO

[valid hawk]

uiuc is also a state school

[fringe sage]

no? UCs are also state schools

lmao

[errant badger]

UCs are not state schools

[fringe sage]

yes they are

[errant badger]

not by the normal def of a state school

they pub fos

[fringe sage]

what is the normal def

[errant badger]

i live in cali...

[fringe sage]

somehow he's actually instate

LOL

no fr

[errant badger]

school system w 1 or 2 great campuses that are kinda easy to get into

[fringe sage]

no

[errant badger]

normally socially great

most ppl go there

[fringe sage]

thats not what a state school is

LMAO

[errant badger]

but its not good

[fringe sage]

a state school is an institution funded by the state its in

thats so random

[errant badger]

he is wym

[fringe sage]

LOL

[errant badger]

no shit but yk no one means that when they refer to state school

[valid hawk]

so only mid schools are state schools

[fringe sage]

apparently?

[errant badger]

mid publics

[fringe sage]

uh

so basically youre prestige whoring it

[errant badger]

yes

[fringe sage]

UMich is suddenly a private school

[errant badger]

yes

[fringe sage]

but MSU is a state school

[errant badger]

yes

[fringe sage]

i see

[errant badger]

Mich State has the word state in it

UMich does not

[fringe sage]

so?

oh my god

what the fuck

LMAO

so NJIT is a private school

[errant badger]

yes

[fringe sage]

and UT Dallas is a private

but Rutgers, the state university of new jersey

is a state school

LMAO

[stable coyote]

I just opened the channel and don't know the context, enlighten me.

[fringe sage]

oh god

[errant badger]

the crazy thing is i can completely derail a convo by saying the most slightly stupid shit

[stable coyote]

I want to see where this drama began

[errant badger]

then j quadrupling down on it

[valid hawk]

I wanted to apply to rutgers last week and found out the deadline has passed lol

[errant badger]

no i hate new jersey

[fringe sage]

no i love it its so funny

[stable coyote]

🍿

[fringe sage]

LOL

wait

shit

las positas community college is a private? but cal poly is a state school?

[errant badger]

unilateral of california

[fringe sage]

so true

[errant badger]

i don't see state in the name

[errant badger]

yes

[stable coyote]

nah UCs are a private school.

[errant badger]

no

[stable coyote]

Ivy leagues are the cringe public ones

[errant badger]

cal poly has no state in the name

[fringe sage]

[errant badger]

i fucking hate internationals yall need to be banned from the US of A

how do you guys not get satire

[errant badger]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-veterans-day-shouting-flag-mel-gibson-running-gif-15525105

[stable coyote]

unless this is reverse satire

[valid hawk]

I DONT HELTHCARE!!

[errant badger]

i used to be a normal member here

[valid hawk]

SE of X

[stable coyote]

standard editor of X

where is the delux and pro edition

no 💀

[worn geyser]

Yup

[errant badger]

i've been compiling my trolling for Columbia

[stable coyote]

I didn't even mention music production for some reason - only did it in the UC app

[worn geyser]

I wanted to add a little CS to my business degree in case something went horribly wrong

[stable coyote]

(btw is it bad if you only used 16 spots instead of 20 in the UC app for ECs)

[errant badger]

nah

[valid hawk]

I only used 12

[stable coyote]

cool

[errant badger]

its terrible

you will be rejected from not only UC

[valid hawk]

W

[errant badger]

but the entire state of californoia

to CC

[stable coyote]

I wrote about YouTube and Music only cuz I needed more space - but thinking about it I should have mentioned more non Stem things in the common app and MIT app as well.

[worn geyser]

With weed and Starbucks

[valid hawk]

doesn't the MIT app only give you 5 spaces

[stable coyote]

idk why I thought universities would like seeing STEM clubs & stuff more than Music and other stuff :/

[errant badger]

don't distinguish yourself

write nothing

dont study for tests

[stable coyote]

summer activities, awards, non scholastic awards - alot of leeway

[errant badger]

let me getin

[stable coyote]

oh well, too late now ig.

I did mention this stuff in essays though whenever I could to be fair

[celest surge]

EA

[errant badger]

accept

[worn geyser]

3.7 UW 1410 amazing ecs EA

IBE

Does I is have shot

[stable coyote]

depends on ur essays

SAT score is in the low but not too low

but the rest could pull you through

[errant badger]

no

[stable coyote]

the only place worse than India / China for competition

[errant badger]

gpa on da lowwww

SAT kinda low

[stable coyote]

even us int'ls have it better than Bay area kids 💀

[errant badger]

idk what ur ECs are

idk what ur Recs are

idk what ur Essays are

[pastel fable]

I got in with a 3.6 and 1440

Y'all can do it

[errant badger]

ehhhh

[stable coyote]

I am not talking about financial situations

[errant badger]

ur in state

[stable coyote]

I meant otherwise

[valid hawk]

isn't there a theory that full pay intls are actually popular among colleges

[errant badger]

and basically went to purdue alr

[stable coyote]

wait are they?

[somber leaf]

there’s very few full pays tho

[valid hawk]

isn't purdue CS kind of T20

[somber leaf]

that’s why

[errant badger]

^

[somber leaf]

esp at need aware schools

[errant badger]

its very safe to take full pay intl

[stable coyote]

wait so I actually stand a higher chance than I thought?

[errant badger]

0 drawbacks

a fuck ton of diversity benefits

[valid hawk]

idk it's all speculation

[stable coyote]

I mean, even with full pay, you gotta write good essays and shit - so it all kinda depends

[somber leaf]

it’s not speculation that he has a way better chance then anyone who needs money

[worn geyser]

Can I dm u my ecs then

[valid hawk]

wait until you see how many of them are from China and India

[stable coyote]

I have friends who went in full pay (took loans from da bank and stuff), with stellar ECs, stats, and essays and still got rejected from a shit ton of universities.

[errant badger]

yea

[errant badger]

u rite

[worn geyser]

John Martinson gang

F

[stable coyote]

agreed. It was so hard to type shit istg

[valid hawk]

bc universities only need to take a certain number of full pays

[stable coyote]

exactly

[pastel fable]

That was so toxic

[worn geyser]

Dmed u my ecs

Parents forced me to bro

Like

[pastel fable]

But you'll be so happy when you see the honors dorms

[worn geyser]

F

[pastel fable]

The regular dorms suck ass

No AC, no renovations, etc...

[valid hawk]

does purdue dorms have single rooms

[pastel fable]

The honors ones are new

[valid hawk]

or they are all doubles

[stable coyote]

no wait - they had an activity essay

for 250 words

[pastel fable]

Mostly only for JRs and Srs

[stable coyote]

(they had a non 100 word essay too) this one

[pastel fable]

West Laf is basically out of housing at this pont

[stable coyote]

ignore the cringe essay

my EA apps (the first 3, including purdue) were too cringe

[errant badger]

is apts the only opt to avoid hell

[pastel fable]

There are some good enough dorms, but yeah appts are prob the safest

[errant badger]

ic

also how humid is west laf

[valid hawk]

you should have made your bin to recycle the monkeys

whatever that means

[errant badger]

i can't stand humidity, esp not w heat

[stable coyote]

nah lets recylce humans

[pastel fable]

It's 90+ in the summer with a lot of hummidity

In the winter it's frigid

[stable coyote]

yeah

[errant badger]

fuckkkkk

[pastel fable]

You'll only be here in August with those conditions

[errant badger]

kk

[valid hawk]

why are there actually dorms without AC

[stable coyote]

ah for purdue

i mean ig idk

depends

[errant badger]

i wish there was Cali but wo my parents

[valid hawk]

you can't even survive without AC in where I live

[stable coyote]

1510 SAT

and uh

one second

Purdue tends to produce surprising decisions for Intls. I have a friend who got into UIUC but rejected from Purdue

they often accept

and also reject

[valid hawk]

the CS 75th percentile?

[stable coyote]

qualified af people

so like

yeah

Like I am 50-50

Either chill

or they just go like - bloop fuck you

[valid hawk]

no point in speculating for now

it's only 5 days away

[tulip steeple]

does purdue defer a lot

[stable coyote]

once agian, got two homies. Both full pay both rejected

One of em in UIUC and the other idfk

[valid hawk]

binge watch something or whatever

colgates

[stable coyote]

I mean I have a solid 40-60% or so chance in Purdue though I think

[valid hawk]

is this notion

[stable coyote]

yes

TOEFL is not a competitive exam but more like a minimum requirement exam to see if you can speak english and comprehend it

the score purdue needs is

80 I think

so yeah

I am just wondering how this will look

I have good grades - but SHIT percentage

[valid hawk]

if it's A then it's good

[somber leaf]

your school is brutal wtf

[stable coyote]

I just hope AOs understand the context when they see the ranking

[errant badger]

I also sent my predicted scores in EA to them too tho so maybe that might back me up (I mean it did prevent me from a rejection at UChicago and MIT)

Ill stop mentioning my cringe stats now.

is a 30 act gonna fuck me over for purdue

cs

[valid hawk]

is UMass CS RD possible

[dark oracle]

Def

[tulip steeple]

32 😭 💀

[stable coyote]

just some context, 12th grade exams in India are kinda a bigger deal than other exams. I also talked to a UPenn AO once and she emphasized how universities also care way more about 12th grade and 10th grade than 11th and 9th for indians (they still look at all of em ofc, but 12th and 10th are more important)

[valid hawk]

i wanted to EA but my counselor didn't like it

[tulip steeple]

i live in ca so i just took it once and gave up

[stable coyote]

whats the STEM score?

[valid hawk]

so i ended up RD

[stable coyote]

no

we dont have A levels and stuff

we have a whole diff system

[valid hawk]

what does this have to do with living in CA

[tulip steeple]

30

[valid hawk]

oh ok

thought it was cali

[tulip steeple]

ca publics all test blind

[valid hawk]

oh it is cali

[tulip steeple]

cali

yea

[stable coyote]

basically we have education boards like CBSE, ISC, State boards etc. (All of which are a rip off of each other, same exam syllabus, same course restrictions, same marking pattern and shit)

[errant badger]

no

CSUs arent

[stable coyote]

They have two national level exams in 10th and 12th grade (AISSCE and AISSE, the names are different depending on the education board. UC app and SRAR system just calls it Indian Grade X and Indian Grade XII)

[errant badger]

or at least cal poly

ur not bc all the cali apps alr d othis

[tulip steeple]

lol

[errant badger]

i literally gave cal poly my scores tho

and they were like thank u g

[worn geyser]

Best of luck for boards lmao I’m really scared f

[valid hawk]

microplastic

[tulip steeple]

i think u can submit it but its just for some language thing for intls prolly im guessing

[stable coyote]

and finally these are the course restrictions in a nut shell

[stable coyote]

how are you doing in chem

its chem that scares me

[errant badger]

i can forward whats ur email

[tulip steeple]

literally just google "are csus test blind"

[errant badger]

send ur email

i will prove u wrong

[worn geyser]

It’s physics for me

[stable coyote]

In Physics I have finished my revision till Induction. (Probably gonna be done with it all by 20th). In Maths also prolly the same. But Chemistry

[errant badger]

sent

[tulip steeple]

they probably are, but its not a factor in admissions

[stable coyote]

Also if you ever need physics help, HMU

I was a volunteer physics tutor as well so I know the shiz

just that in E&M I have way less tutoring experience than mechanics - but I can still help if needed.

[errant badger]

💀

[valid hawk]

Scholarship offers of my safety supposedly comes out at 15th

counting on it to counterbalance the purdue rejection

[errant badger]

i had every choice not to send it

idc

[valid hawk]

wait how did i dox myself

[errant badger]

yes

u see now tho

[valid hawk]

ok

[tulip steeple]

[valid hawk]

knowing names don't do shit though

[errant badger]

thats the beauty

[stable coyote]

[valid hawk]

[stable coyote]

i've done it countless times b4

its j my name

idc

i'd willingly drop my full addy

but mods would get mad

[tulip steeple]

why are we talking about doxxing of a cal poly applicant on a purdue thread

[valid hawk]

because purdue applicants are neurotic

[errant badger]

u got the email

u read it

[valid hawk]

i think it's possible to forward a nonexistent email actually

[errant badger]

My school doesn't even matter anymore. I don't even go there.

[errant badger]

[valid hawk]

oh well

[stable coyote]

I am semi graduated from HS

its hard to explain but yeah

I dont go to school now

[tulip steeple]

gap year?

[stable coyote]

but I still have to give exams later

[stable coyote]

so basically I come from a winter closing school (instead of the usual summer break type of schools), so school technically ends in december
Except- 12th grade year end exams are national level exams, not exams made by my school but by the education board. And that board follows the more common summer closing pattern for its examination dates.
So my school is over - but I still have to wait for exams that begin in late february and end in early may.

i literally didn't

im not even trolling

that email was real

[valid hawk]

there was a rant on r/a2c about how it's to take an exam instead of to give an exam

[stable coyote]

(people ask it so often I just made a copy pasta for it)

[stable coyote]

this is why I got 38/40 not 40/40 in the SAT writing

[valid hawk]

maybe ACT suits you better

[stable coyote]

There was literally a question of give and take that I fucked up in my AAS

💀

[stable coyote]

I got a 23 on it first attempt-

my BEST was 29

my worst SAT was 1420 and best was 1510

[tulip steeple]

who tf says "give an exam"

[stable coyote]

so yeah SAT ftw

[tulip steeple]

unless ur a teacher

[errant badger]

its also correct to say

I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHY AM I HERE

[valid hawk]

did you even apply to purdue

[errant badger]

i did

last minute

i was like damn

lemme j apply

[stable coyote]

[valid hawk]

[stable coyote]

where are you applying from and what major btw

[tulip steeple]

ucsc or purdue cs instate ca

[worn geyser]

Bhai which school is this what

[valid hawk]

China and CS

i'm as doomed as you

[stable coyote]

every school in the northern regions

Im from Himachal for context

[worn geyser]

Oh ya no. You people had your practicals in November

[stable coyote]

the winters here are too harsh (sometimes) so they just like to switch to a different schedule

[stable coyote]

yeah

[worn geyser]

APPLYING TO IIT LMAOOOOOO

[stable coyote]

I think I got a solid 30/30 in each

[worn geyser]

LMAOOOOO

[stable coyote]

I was taking the SAT exam

a dude came up to me

and saw me standing in line

for the centre to open

asked me about JEE and why I am giving SAT instead

I replied: I dont want depression

[valid hawk]

i'm trying to follow every megathread for college I applied to and i realized i applied to 41

[worn geyser]

There is no applying. There’s only writing a 3 hr exam that decides your life. So no I’m not running that rat race

[stable coyote]

rip

[somber leaf]

woah have u always lived in china

[worn geyser]

Same

[stable coyote]

*slightly more

[worn geyser]

Trust me the holistic bs is better

Much better

[valid hawk]

yes i was born here

[somber leaf]

wow

did u go to an foreign language school

[stable coyote]

plus, even if I did get in - I would go to my US / HK universities first. imo they are way better than IIT

[errant badger]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/108ngxf/looking_for_advice_appealing_to_uc_application/

[stable coyote]

IIT is overhyped. Its all academics there.

[errant badger]

SHIT

GUYS

THEY FOUND OUT

[worn geyser]

Vijit will agree that the holistic BS is much better

[stable coyote]

Tell me how many famous IITians do you know

eaze

[worn geyser]

Like 3

[valid hawk]

yes again, we do a british curriculum which most schools don't do

[stable coyote]

you might know a few maybe, but lets be honest - they produce way less of em than even Purdue does

[somber leaf]

that’s sick

[worn geyser]

[valid hawk]

what is IIT

Illinois Institute of Tech?

[stable coyote]

Indian Institute of Technology

[valid hawk]

oh ok

[tulip steeple]

illinois institute of technology

[stable coyote]

basically hard as fuck university to get into. You need to get like 1k rank out of 2 million kids in an exam called JEE

[worn geyser]

[stable coyote]

Bro stop

[stable coyote]

If I send you one page

[tulip steeple]

ithaca institute of technology

[stable coyote]

of that exam

you will say

[worn geyser]

You haven’t seen that exam

[stable coyote]

unlucky as fuck

[somber leaf]

do u still have to take the gao kao

[worn geyser]

You know what wait

[valid hawk]

no if you don't plan to go to Chinese colleges

which I don't plan to do

[stable coyote]

to be fair - there are many people who suck more hollistically than academically cuz their indian parents always forced em to study and they never developed other skills.

so for them its better to go with JEE than US

[somber leaf]

oo i see

[valid hawk]

isn't HK kind of a dogshit place for now

[stable coyote]

meh

[valid hawk]

because Chinese govt shenanigans

[somber leaf]

do u know where 德阳is

[tulip steeple]

imagine applying to schools with <1% admit rate

[stable coyote]

doesn't affect you as long as u keep ur nose down.

[valid hawk]

no I haven't been there

[stable coyote]

Especially as an intl - the policies mostly dont affect you either

he was there a week ago itself rather

[worn geyser]

Do this

This is math

Alone

[valid hawk]

if i go there i'm half domestic

[tulip steeple]

just wondering, why would a intl choose a hk university?

[valid hawk]

well hk is a pretty big city

[worn geyser]

What

Right that’s math alone

Now add physics and Chem

[somber leaf]

it’s like more breadth than depth

it would be pretty cancer tho

and pointless tbh

[stable coyote]

The thing with IIT is though. Sure you might find some excelent kids. Cuz to be good at shit you need to be good equally in Academics, Extracurriculars, social life and all the other stuff.

You will still find good kids in IIT cuz they are amazing at Academics and coincidentally have other skills too.

Except - holistic is better cuz MOST kids will be that level. Not just SOME.

6 hour exam

with physics

chem

maths

and these questions look easy at first glance - trust me

but solve thes

*these

[worn geyser]

Alibi look at this

[somber leaf]

this one’s like physics c level

for mc

[stable coyote]

2 million kids

1k seats

[somber leaf]

rip

[worn geyser]

What vijit said

[valid hawk]

apart from US nowhere really does holistic admissions

[stable coyote]

and these kids study for 3 - 4 years.

14 hours per day is the avg.

nah I mean for IIT - bombay

[somber leaf]

holistic is better cuz if it weren’t holistic high school would be hell

not gonna happen

[stable coyote]

But even for other institutes - its hard as fuck to get in

[worn geyser]

im from india right. here we have two colleges called IITs and the NITs. to get in to these colleges students have to write the Join Entrance Exam or the JEE. in a country of 1.5 billion people around 1.6 million children write the exam. only the top 100 get to go to IIT bombay for CS which is the top college in India. there are 5 other such schools. you write the JEE main examination and around hundred thousand qualify for the advance you have to write the advanced exam to get into a good IIT. The exam is so difficult, there are entire industries of coaching institutes who charge crores and guarantee your child a position in one of these schools. Children give up everything, community service, ECs, play time or even just chilling. On top of tyhis we have reservations due to the caste system and the reservations go up till 60% of the total seats. starting early here is not a choice, it is a neccesity. And the mentality of country is such that those who dont write the JEE are escapists who are weak and hence they apply abroad. You should see how coaching centres diss students from other countries saying thaey cant solve basic math problems.

[somber leaf]

no one gets a perfect on the gao kao for examples

even tho there’s millions

[stable coyote]

***almost 2 mill

[worn geyser]

Alibi read this

[stable coyote]

it was 1.8 mil last year

[valid hawk]

UK admissions isn't very holistic and I think their high schoolers are doing alright

it's mainly in countries like China and India, the education resources is too little compared to the population

[somber leaf]

that’s true but if us wasn’t holistic

every school would be asian

[stable coyote]

trust me, all these math questions look easy - till you try them. Some are obviously easy (they wont make all questions hard) but some are so hard when you actually start solving them.

[valid hawk]

so people are miserable in high schools, because they literally need to be top 2k in 2m to get into good schools

[worn geyser]

Yup

Exactly

[somber leaf]

sad fr

[stable coyote]

just for some context: this is HALF of the JEE syllabus:

HALF of it

(ignore the english and CS section)

[stable coyote]

and they don't just test surface level stuff. They test critical thinking to such a high fucking depth that you want to commit the die.

[stable coyote]

exactly

[stable coyote]

plus the irony is, they wont even be that successful

[somber leaf]

😭

[stable coyote]

you can't name that many famous IITians (other than those that went into other institutes for grad lol)

IIT prepares you for working

not leading

[valid hawk]

i hear high school in japan is alright, but hs in korea is also hell

[worn geyser]

There’s no English

[stable coyote]

thats why I like BITs pilani more amidst the existing shit education system.

[somber leaf]

compared to anywhere else

[valid hawk]

dude not many people do linalg in HS

[worn geyser]

Much harder with a like 50* the population

[stable coyote]

yes but you are forgetting - all subjects in one exam (and thats only half of it) + the fact is that they go WAY more into depth of the topics

bruh
