#Purdue (2022-2023)
stable coyote
This is my high school final lol
which has similar syllabus to half of JEE
hence I sent that to you
AP exams are child's play relatively 💀
I gave them by self testing (wont help in admissions but helps in credit)
valid hawk
isn't AP exams kind of useless in admission if you don't have AP classes
stable coyote
will give more next year
stable coyote
isn't AP exams kind of useless in admission if you don't have AP classes
yeah but course credit is sweet
plus HK universities like APs
exactly
It can only help
not in admissions maybe, but otherwise
valid hawk
i didn't take many AP exams because most colleges also offer credits for A Levels
stable coyote
thats nice
I took APs for HK universities sake as well.
Cuz they look into it for Admissions alot
Got into HKUST (conditionally) 😎
valid hawk
I quite like HK as a city when I travelled ther
worn geyser
Now we wait for purdue
stable coyote
yeah and the universities are dope too.
People here don't know much about it cuz they only target US. But I looked into all the universities I could (with a higher attraction for US cuz of location benifits), and NUS, NTU, HKUST, HKU, & CUHK are my top universities outside US
I didn't apply to NUS and NTU though, too much effort when Im confident Ill get into my (more prefered) US colleges
and I didn't care about Canadian universities cuz their application system is so fucking complicated
valid hawk
I initially wanted to apply to a few HK universities but their application systems were all too wacky

which ones are you talking about btw
cuz all I know is HKU, HKUST, & CUHK
valid hawk
did u apply to tsinghua
Tsinghua is not in HK, it's in mainland China
valid hawk
you need to take the Gaokao to get in
valid hawk
which ones are you talking about btw
HKU and HKUST are both pretty wacky
HKUST's application looks like straight out of the 80s
stable coyote
CUHK application is worse
HKUST looks like 2000s comparatively
how are these the top universities in Asia 😭
atleast, while their UI looks shit - its easy to navigate and understand
unlike canadian universities

plus you need to be good at academics - not ULTRA GREAT (like 1k out of 2million) level to get good grades.

ur implying most common objectively for a2c
and its not 4.0
civic briar
Lol chill. I m joking.
but I am pretty positive most ppl who apply to top schools have a UW around 4.0
errant badger
im pretty positive that's not the case
3.8+ is the norm
4.0 only exists in grade inflation
you don't take majority AP courseloads + 50 other things and get all As

you don't take majority AP courseloads + 50 other things and get all As

Starting to get nervous now y'all
just assume u didn't get in
fake a rejection letter if u need to

Gotta agree with the others here. The guys who get into ivies/universities of that caliber from my school have like 3.5-3.8 unweighted (more guys leaning on the 3.5 infact). The guys who have near perfect GPAs have insanely light course loads.

Ok but how do i calculate it? My school only gives weighted

I believe they’re both top 10 for aerospace engineering on US News but there’s 2 things. One- You aren’t even guaranteed to get aerospace engineering as your major if you go to purdue. Two- CU Boulder is much better in terms of opportunities as they have a NASA research center literally right next to them and a ton of aerospace stuff in Denver while Purdue has no big aerospace companies near them

if a student is applying for let’s say a NASA job, imo they’d rather take a CU Boulder student who interned at a NASA research center than a Purdue student who wasn’t able to get much hands on stuff

My dad works at apple and he interviews applicants as well additionally and for them, he says that when they send their resume he primarily looks at which university they went to lol and apparently they have categories for more likely and less likely etc based on the tier of CS for that specific university
However idk how it works for aeronautical engineering or others
This is purely for CS
But he also mentioned if they are top of the line CS universities like top 5 then it doesn’t matter bc they give most of them a shot apparently

No lol the student who got connections and had a higher up give a recommendation is getting the interview

Not particularly
Well, when you compare it to CS and engineering
Purdue's overall acceptance rate is about 55% so that should give you an idea
dark oracle
Ah ok

idk how second choice affects that
Honestly, if they don't accept you for your first choice they should probably defer you
Then reconsider you for first choice and if not then admit to second choice
Is how I'd design the system, idk if that's how it's done

I don’t understand what does that have to do with CS and getting connections to get an interview from a major league company
Lol
Also I’m not saying it’s not possible going to a less prestigious uni
It’s just if u go to a more prestigious one u have more chances

CS is one of the specific majors where employers could care less
pastel fable
CS is easily quantifiable and very skill based
For business or smth like that reputation is everything
But for CS technical interviews rule

go to like ucla or something
trust me if bay area students were guaranteed a ucla or ucsd acceptance, purdue application rates would tank
they're just quite difficult to get into actually

CS is one of the specific majors where employers could care less
I mean sure but when tons of people apply for interviews at major league companies and when their resume is looked at, at the end of the day, the interviewer will like the person who went to a better CS school than the person who did not
It's not about succeeding once you get in
as anyone can do that

I know a guy from a very weird random ass university (slightly famous but not millionare level famous) who is currently at a high af post in a company and is a millionaire - he came from a random ass university and its just been one year since he graduated.
Its the skills that matter more.
errant badger
yea and if they have two applicants who have the exact same stats except one is white and one is black they'll pick the white guy
heavy roost
starting salary not as high
errant badger
this doesn't mean shit
it shows that sure there's underlying bias but htat bias could be insanely minute or insanely vast
heavy roost
Its the skills that matter more.
Im not denying that at all

you do realize companies don't discriminate salaries based off your uni 😭

you're just good at being taught
all the nerds at my school are genuinely so stupid
they just know how to be taught
so anything that requires independent thought??
haha
they can't do it

Anywho what I meant is I wana be part of groups of people who have similarish mindsets you know? I come from a place where the most ambitious guy I have seen has no future prospects. And also colaborate on projects with people and all that stuff.
