Purdue (2022-2023)

[worn geyser]

Mmmmmm

Oh yeah

I took ai

[errant badger]

anyways

[pastel fable]

Krannert is good and we're getting a new business school that the new President promises will be T20 within 5-10 years

[worn geyser]

What the hell srsly?

[errant badger]

look at this diversity

[worn geyser]

So krannert won’t be getting attention?

[errant badger]

how about you make it t20 now

wtf

[heavy vortex]

what's this about?

[worn geyser]

@pastel fable krannert ain’t good?

[errant badger]

kelley betta

lowk

thats why IUPUI good

take CS at Purdue

Biz at IU

[worn geyser]

Eh

I got business and engineering at Purdue

So

Makes up for it

[errant badger]

no you dont

you have business

and 3 engineering classes

IBE isn't CSBA

[worn geyser]

Fine by me

[errant badger]

or anything close to ENGBA

[pastel fable]

It's good, but not T20

[gleaming frost]

💀

[pastel fable]

There was this joint school in Indy between IU and Purdue called IUPUI. It's getting split up

[heavy vortex]

why is there a joint school? arent they two totally separate universities?

[worn geyser]

Ram really hates that I get pseudo m and t courses confused

F

[errant badger]

yes

[errant badger]

also this

why is there 2 public systems

[worn geyser]

Wazyor top school

[errant badger]

its not like CSU &UC where there is an objectively better system

[pastel fable]

Yeah, they are. But, they made an agreement 50 years ago to create a campus managed and named by both universities

[errant badger]

its j 2 equal systems that sit there

[pastel fable]

Idrk what the motivation was, but apparently there was at some point

[heavy vortex]

Interesting, I was unaware. Purdue is the best tho right?

[pastel fable]

For business IU Kelley is better

For Med and Law school IU is the only option

But for STEM PU is much better

[vast timber]

Wow nice

[heavy vortex]

Nice nice, thanks man

[fringe sage]

💀 NAH this was not necessary

why u doing my boy like that

[worn geyser]

Ram hates me lmao

It’s all cool tho

[fringe sage]

ram is just

[tulip steeple]

how common was cs defer at purdue?

[errant badger]

Rare

[tulip steeple]

bruh quite a few cs applicants from my school got deferred

but looking online looks like most ppl got in

[azure saddle]

what major?

[carmine stag]

I got deferred unfortunately

And there is a post on the reddit regarding the same. People with cracked stats have got a deferral letter

[vagrant kite]

Got deferred, should i believe its yield protection or im ass

[spice iris]

How good are your chances in RD for CS deferral?

[lucid canyon]

I think it’s just fucking random

[carmine stag]

I literally saw someone on reddit with 1570 sat got deferral lmao

Idk what happened this year

[vagrant kite]

With 42 ib points, good enough curriculars and excellent essays as per my counseller

[lucid canyon]

If you applied for a second major you get deferred (you won’t be accepted CS RD) and if you didn’t apply for a second major you get rejected / deported to other Purdue universities

[errant badger]

Intl has wildly diff standards

[lucid canyon]

Like I have USACO platinum

And I got deported

[errant badger]

Especially since its a public school that rarely even cares about oos

[lucid canyon]

But I’m gonna appeal

Cause imo it’s fucking bullshit

[topaz adder]

fuck purdue all my homies hate purdue

[lucid canyon]

It’s like

Actually

Random

Why the hell are 3.8 1430s getting in and not 4.0 1570s

[sleek verge]

Deferred International

[grizzled lotus]

they got deferred, prolly will get accepted rd tho

[carmine stag]

The only answer is yield protection imo

[grizzled lotus]

to increase average sat and gpa yk

thats my feeling

[rocky anchor]

Any Indians getting in Purdue Cs

[carmine stag]

Nope deferred🥲

Did you tho?

[rocky anchor]

Nope

Where else did u get in

[fringe sage]

purdue yield protection went crazy. probably because they overenrolled like HELL last few years LOL

[lucid canyon]

Deferred means you applied for a second major and they will consider you for only the second major. You won’t be getting in for CS

[fringe sage]

no

you can be deferred for first-choice

thats wrong

[grizzled lotus]

nah u can get deferred for cs

[fringe sage]

purdue does first-choice defer and second-choice defer as well

[grizzled lotus]

a lot of ppl did

[lucid canyon]

Everyone I know got deferred if they had a second choice and rejected if the didn’t

[fringe sage]

yeah

[carmine stag]

I applied to gatech and uiuc but i m in a huge self-doubt now ngl

[grizzled lotus]

nah dont, it doesnt correlate

[rocky anchor]

Same here bro but did u not apply to any other public schools

[fringe sage]

everyone you know is not the biggest sample tho; i thought so as well but i saw some ppl

[rocky anchor]

EA

[grizzled lotus]

college decisions are just not like that

rly random

[carmine stag]

Yup applied to Tamu and got in

[lucid canyon]

They don’t even accept CS people for RD I believe

[rocky anchor]

Nice what about suny stony did u apply

[fringe sage]

i mean it's not that they don't? it's that they probably won't

LOL

[carmine stag]

Nope

[fringe sage]

CS and engineering are notorious for basically filling up entirely in the EA round. they'll likely waitlist from RD though. just in case.

[lucid canyon]

But for some reason they did accept a few ppl with good stats

[fringe sage]

exactly

[lucid canyon]

And it’s random

[fringe sage]

its cause the department is mostly full

[lucid canyon]

So like wtf

This humbled me real quick tho

[topaz adder]

deferred

[fringe sage]

its not random its just that they probably just have like a 3.95 gpa cutoff for RD cs, because theyve filled up the rest of the pool

[azure saddle]

do u know for bio or undecided?

[lucid canyon]

Did you get deferred or did you only apply RD

[rocky anchor]

It do be like that for all of us man

[fringe sage]

it didn't humble me, the deferral lowkey was a nice surprise. but it humbled my dad for sure.

[lucid canyon]

Second major?

[azure saddle]

im applying rd

[lucid canyon]

Second major?

[fringe sage]

@lucid canyon did you get deferred?

[rocky anchor]

AI

[lucid canyon]

No because I didn’t apply for a second major

[fringe sage]

oh

darn

appeal

[lucid canyon]

Everyone who got deferred had a second major

Yeah

[fringe sage]

yeah

[lucid canyon]

Ima be like

Yo

I got usaco platinum

[fringe sage]

LOL

[topaz adder]

I got deferred for my first major, CS, but I'll practically not be considered for that in RD

[lucid canyon]

Do you have a second major

Lemme in bb gurl

[rocky anchor]

Same man shit I really wanted this

[topaz adder]

AI

[lucid canyon]

Yeah so basically

[rocky anchor]

Now I am feeling less confident about UIUC as well

[lucid canyon]

Deferred = rejected for CS but you will be considered for second major in RD round
Rejected = rejected for CS and no second major so fuck off

[lucid canyon]

UIUC is incredibly hard to get into

[topaz adder]

what are your stats, the ones who got deferred from CS?

[grizzled lotus]

4.0 and 1550 SAT

[rocky anchor]

Anyone who is maybe going to Penn state , stony brook or um twin cities or Michigan?

[rocky anchor]

Ayoooo what

[fringe sage]

no this is misinformation. you can be deferred for your first-choice lmao

[grizzled lotus]

and like almost val of my sweaty ahh bay area high school

idk what i did wrong but wtv

my essays were lk bad

[somber leaf]

i got deffered without a second major

[rocky anchor]

Bro I feel for u so much

[tender zephyr]

omg

ur def getting in RD dw

[topaz adder]

no purdue fills their entire class for CS in EA. so it's essentially a rejection

[grizzled lotus]

lol issok

[tender zephyr]

OH

wait

💀

[somber leaf]

lmfao

[tender zephyr]

true

[somber leaf]

nah my 1600 3.96 friend got rejected flat out

[fringe sage]

imma keep it 100%, prolly not. stats dont matter when the department isnt accepting from RD

[tender zephyr]

lol yea

[rocky anchor]

Damn

[tender zephyr]

💀

forgot abt that

[grizzled lotus]

bruh...

[fringe sage]

we don't know if thats how it is for certain, but it probably is

[grizzled lotus]

yup

[lucid canyon]

For CS?

[somber leaf]

yeah

[fringe sage]

especially considering this year has been so fucked

[grizzled lotus]

just move on if u applied cs

[fringe sage]

^

[somber leaf]

do u think they know abt those competitions tho @lucid canyon

[fringe sage]

its just delayed-action rejection

lmfao

[lucid canyon]

Rejected or offered to go to another school

[somber leaf]

i feel like they j didnt take them into consideration

[somber leaf]

deffered

[fringe sage]

if its usaco than yeah. everyone knows those

i wonder though

[somber leaf]

weird

[lucid canyon]

Yeah ima appeal

[fringe sage]

yeah

definitely

whats the worst they do

re-reject you

tough

[lucid canyon]

This process is actually causing me brain damage

[fringe sage]

im just happy i got deferred man

me and my boy blitzyt

✊

[somber leaf]

yall think aime means anything

[fringe sage]

cause who the fuck even looks at a 3.67 for cs/engineering

i mean it means something more than no aime

[somber leaf]

ig

[fringe sage]

yeah

[somber leaf]

:c

[errant badger]

@north trout stats?

[tulip steeple]

if you get in 2nd choice does it mean youre rejected from 1st choice?

[worn geyser]

Yes

[worn geyser]

Aye bruh what’s your top school

[tulip steeple]

i got deferred for cs

applied cs 1st ds 2nd

no deferred for cs

[azure saddle]

is undecided at purdue hard?

[tulip steeple]

so ig that means ill still be considered for both in rd pile? idk

[errant badger]

i dont got one

thats what school x v y is for

[worn geyser]

Chad response tbh

[tulip steeple]

hope for the best cope for the worst 😔

[errant badger]

bro what

so what i did wasnt even that bad

i at least did EA UMich

[tulip steeple]

i also umich ea'd

[errant badger]

10% = Fill our spots in EA

🧢

[tulip steeple]

🧢

0 chance umich cs is ezr than purdue cs in any case

[fringe sage]

definitely not OOS

LMAO

oh wait

no no alibi's right

[errant badger]

gfy

[fringe sage]

for RD yeah

EA no

[errant badger]

u realized who he was arguing w and flipped

eh

[fringe sage]

no i just realized he said RD

loll

[errant badger]

idk the stats for either

i j picked a side

i dont feel like it

[fringe sage]

purdue accepts like zero cs and engineering kids RD

[fringe sage]

junior?

go back to your

pillow fort

[errant badger]

will do

[fringe sage]

[errant badger]

im gonna mke hisory

[tulip steeple]

does this count deferred ppl

[fringe sage]

yes

[errant badger]

but now ive been ungot

💀 dwai

[tulip steeple]

so basically im rejected 💀

[fringe sage]

yes

for first choice

you might get second choice

yeah

[errant badger]

yea

[fringe sage]

@tulip steeple whats ur second cohice

[errant badger]

lowk u should j withdraw rn

[tulip steeple]

[tulip steeple]

ok now i will just not withdraw because of you

[fringe sage]

good

[tulip steeple]

potentially

low chance tho

[fringe sage]

im not taking purdue data sci but fuck u im not withdrawing

i love perdoo

[tulip steeple]

id rather go to my instate safety

[errant badger]

then withdraw

[fringe sage]

no

[errant badger]

so i can have a shot at CS

[fringe sage]

no

dont withdraw

[tulip steeple]

no im keeping it just for you

[fringe sage]

yes

YES

[errant badger]

fuck you

[fringe sage]

ANTI-RAM SENTIMENT

so true

[errant badger]

this is literally racism

yall are scared of bombers

[fringe sage]

RAMISM

oh

no

[errant badger]

💀

[fringe sage]

but i dont like you

its simple as that

[fringe sage]

oh also

[errant badger]

damn

[fringe sage]

the cat won the poll

82-76

[errant badger]

i voted cat

fiya

[fringe sage]

YES

[dark oracle]

Nah I got into the second choice major

[fringe sage]

goodddddddddd

aight ram is valid again

[errant badger]

betso

[fringe sage]

W

[tulip steeple]

idk why im even surprised bruh i have mid asf stats

[fringe sage]

what r they

i think god of war did math 2nd choice

[tulip steeple]

3.84 / 4.35 / 30

[fringe sage]

bitch

those are good stats

nahh stfu

3.8+ is god tier

i firmly believe

you are a god

[tulip steeple]

yea im fine w my gpa but my act low for cs

[fringe sage]

ah i see

[fringe sage]

yeah im flipped from you 😭
3.67 / 4.11 / 1540

low asf gpa

SAT probably kept me for defer

yeah im just so grateful i retook my 1520

cause my superscore is 1550

because thats the only thing in my favor for mid ass stats

[tulip steeple]

i have no motivation to take sat/act more than once as a cali instate

[fringe sage]

loll

i did it because studying for it gave me sum to do

i was like depressed asf back then

[tulip steeple]

bros coping mechanism is to study the sat 💀

[fringe sage]

low gpa = no UC acceptances for me HAHAHA so i took again for oos

[fringe sage]

dude

im so productive when my mental health is fucked

i got like a job and internship and shit

and then did aight on sat

if only

yes

lmaoo

too late now

no you dont put any gpas into UC app remember

just the grades

[tulip steeple]

bro theres sum juniors getting associates for transfer from ccs

[fringe sage]

LOL yeah

its wild

[errant badger]

i have 46 credits rn

i would've had way more had i maxed out my CC credits each sem

all it takes is 60 for an AA

[rocky anchor]

People being delusional

[errant badger]

eh

its happened b4

[shadow stag]

anyone know how common the merit scholarships are at purdue?

I got 10k just wondering if thats rly special

[fringe sage]

thats good!

congrats

i actually havent seen a lot of merit scholarships from purdue EA today on this discord

[shadow stag]

oh damn

[fringe sage]

maybe thats just me

[shadow stag]

Yea im super stoked

[fringe sage]

hypeee

what ur major

[shadow stag]

I never realized purdue was this competitive tbh

comp engineering

[fringe sage]

DAMN

nicee!!

that was mine too

[shadow stag]

but for engineering ur major doesnt matter i think

u can change it

[fringe sage]

yep its just fye

[shadow stag]

yeye

[fringe sage]

i got defer for my second choice

data sci

[shadow stag]

oh cool

hope u get in bro

[fringe sage]

yepp

appreciate you

congrats :))

[shadow stag]

thanks

i thought more people would get in tho

my friend who had 1560/ 93 gpa got rejected

[fringe sage]

damnn

yeah it was a bit odd this year ig

but i honestly think i got a bit lucky with my deferral

[shadow stag]

y

[fringe sage]

i wouldve rejected mysef

LOL

low gpa

[shadow stag]

lol dont say that

[fringe sage]

nah its true tho

esp for cs

and engieneeing

[shadow stag]

yea but still

did you get into northeastern?

[fringe sage]

nah

[shadow stag]

im new to this sub

[fringe sage]

no worries loll

[shadow stag]

lol

[fringe sage]

i just have it as username caus eidk

loll

[fringe sage]

nah im exaggerating a little

[shadow stag]

hahah

[fringe sage]

but was a bit happy cause of deferral 😭

[shadow stag]

nice man

hey im kinda curious now tho

[fringe sage]

wsp

[shadow stag]

what would you kinda equate purdue to like compared to other schools

[fringe sage]

for computer engineering?

[shadow stag]

cuz i didnt really realize how competive it is

yea

[fringe sage]

i mean

purdue engineering is amazing

[shadow stag]

yea fax

[fringe sage]

t10 in the country

im surprised it didnt get this competitive in earlier years

loll

[shadow stag]

truee

[fringe sage]

theyve been overenrolling a lot past 5 or so years

[shadow stag]

but like I think prestige is also a big factor

[fringe sage]

think they realized its screwing shit up

[shadow stag]

like for jobs and stuff

[fringe sage]

for current students loll

[fringe sage]

purdue engineering has really good employer name

[shadow stag]

wdym

[fringe sage]

like amazin

[shadow stag]

oh good

thas sick

oh i get what u mean nvm

[fringe sage]

yepp

[shadow stag]

anyways im gonna go to bed man

rly hope u get in rd

[fringe sage]

thank you bro !!

gn

[shadow stag]

keep ur hopes up

[hearty bramble]

Purdue eng is T10 at least, and our new president has a pile of industry connections (royal swedish academy of engineering international fellow)

[hearty bramble]

I graduated CompE so I can answer all your questions

I think you only need a 3.2 freshman or something to get into CompE from FYE but the major courses are somewhat difficult

[vast timber]

did purdue release all decisions today?

[shadow stag]

Oh that’s sick thanks

What’s are the jobs that people with comp e from Purdue typically go for

[hearty bramble]

Purdue is fantastic for chip design - we have a 2 billion dollar semiconductor fab moving in next door

[shadow stag]

Damnn

Is it intel or amd?

[hearty bramble]

CompE you would either go software focus and work normal tech (won't recommend imo), digital design, embedded, or analog

[hearty bramble]

GlobalFoundries I believe, AMD doesn't have their own fabs

[shadow stag]

Oh cool

[hearty bramble]

MediaTek is also opening a small office near Purdue

[shadow stag]

So like would internships be possible

[hearty bramble]

I think Purdue CompE is easily top 5 or above within the speciality of digital design, my computer architecture course was a lot of work but the best course I've ever taken

[hearty bramble]

Yeah definitely, we have a huge career fair and I guarantee companies will love you once you take ECE 270 sophomore year

ECE 337 will guarantee an internship, ECE 437 companies will be falling over each other to hire you

[shadow stag]

Sweet lol

[hearty bramble]

During 437, I designed an entire cache coherent multi core pipelined processor with branch prediction from scratch

[shadow stag]

What kind of companies

[hearty bramble]

Holdup I have a list

[shadow stag]

Bruh I don’t even know have of those words but that sounds crazy

[hearty bramble]

AMD, ARM, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung (they're literally spamming LinkedIn), Apple, Microsoft (?), Google (?), FinTech (mostly want FPGA, need FPGA experience probabaly), Meta (?), Cadence, Synopsys, Nvidia, Tesla/SpaceX (they work you hard and pay shit, but hella experience), MediaTek, Cisco, Micron, Waymo, Broadcom

[shadow stag]

Bro that’s like every top tech company

Damn

[hearty bramble]

This is just for chip design

I just graduated and I'm making 150k which is pretty good, my hours are very relaxed (hybrid office TTh) and I play a lot of games

[shadow stag]

Lmao

Where do u work if u don’t mind

And what do u do

[hearty bramble]

My team has gone to the beach, go karting, had a potluck, fancy lunch at Hilton, pumpkin carving, zoo meetup, trivia night, and boat party

since September

[shadow stag]

That’s sick

[hearty bramble]

I work at Qualcomm and currently do software even though I graduated with a chip design focus since the offer was unbeatable at the time

115k base, 20k RSU, 8% bonus, 25k signon, 15k relocation

such a good offer

[shadow stag]

That’s great good for u

[hearty bramble]

considering I'm really chill

I do like 1-2h a day of work lol

[shadow stag]

Are job prospects localized to Indiana?

Like how does it work

[hearty bramble]

Nope

[shadow stag]

If I want to stay in east coast

[hearty bramble]

Anywhere you want

[shadow stag]

Are there the same kind of offers

[hearty bramble]

East coast is usually Boxborough, Massachusetts iirc for AMD and Qualcomm, not sure about the others

There's also Fintech if you're interested though FPGA engineering ofc isn't as fancy as quant

Most jobs are in California and Texas though, maybe some Colorado and Washington

[shadow stag]

Ok makes sense

Yea I still have no clue what I want to do but this seems very cool

[hearty bramble]

Chip design is also a very remote friendly field

[shadow stag]

Is grad school like a common thing

Or are people eager to get hired straight out of college

[hearty bramble]

Very eager to get hired

Grad school doesn't help much

It's nice to have but experience is always better, depends on how the job market is when you graduate

https://engineering.purdue.edu/SoC-Team/about/system-on-chips

[shadow stag]

Do u secure a higher salary by doing grad school?

Like is it worth it

[hearty bramble]

Kinda but not as impactful as other majors

[gleaming frost]

Probably

[shadow stag]

Oh ok

[hearty bramble]

It's not like science where you must do grad school and phd

[shadow stag]

Cool makes sense

So like is ur salary expected to keep rising?

[hearty bramble]

If you get a good offer just take it

Oh yeah for sure

[shadow stag]

I’m trying to get a scope for the industry

Like what do u see urself making in 10 years

[hearty bramble]

Mirrors tech pretty much

[worn geyser]

Wow this place blew up lmao

[hearty bramble]

Maybe a bit lower but the advantage is much more stable job market

Hardware companies are usually very conservative at both hiring and laying off

[shadow stag]

What’s the diff between ur job and tech

[hearty bramble]

But yeah you advance to senior staff etc.

What I'm doing right now is just software but I would like to transition to chip design (specifically frontend digital design)

The work is somewhat similar - hell, even chips are designed using code nowadays (Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL) with tools and whatnot

[shadow stag]

ohh ok

[hearty bramble]

There's no reason to force chip design either - you learn enough programming to get a normal software job if you want

[shadow stag]

yea i heard about that

CompE has a ton of cs

[hearty bramble]

kinda sad

not many people took the comp arch course

my class had like 20 people

[shadow stag]

im hyped for that stuff

its so cool to me

[hearty bramble]

but it's by far the most useful course I have ever taken, hands down

[shadow stag]

nice

[hearty bramble]

@shadow stag Lemme send you the textbook, it goes into computer architecture from a very layperson viewpoint and is very interesting

You can see whether it's something you would enjoy

[shadow stag]

sure man thanks a ton

[hearty bramble]

Chapter 1 is just fluff

Then I think you wanna go 2, 4, 5, 6

3 is just dumb math stuff

[shadow stag]

this is rly cool

[hearty bramble]

Uh wait

Skip 2

2 is really boring

Skip to 4

That's kinda the digital design stuff

You might have to read 1 and 2 beforehand though

And it still might be kinda hard to understand if you don't have a digital design background, even with the block diagrams

[shadow stag]

i dont have any background lmao

[hearty bramble]

Here's some code I'm working on, yeah it's just code

[shadow stag]

all i have is ap CS

[hearty bramble]

It's literally just code written differently @shadow stag

[shadow stag]

is it ok to go into college with no coding experience

[hearty bramble]

and then this stuff gets 'compiled' to the gate-level stuff for chips

[shadow stag]

should i try and learn

[hearty bramble]

relax, you'll be fine - I would suggest finding a passion project you wanna work on though

it makes learning much easier

I copied my AP CS final project okay, it was console battleship

[shadow stag]

ok gotcha

[hearty bramble]

for instance, my first project for learning Python was automating scraping webnovel sites to epub and pdf

my sophomore project for learning Go was the same thing, scraping webnovel sites

my junior year project for learning JavaScript was designing Chrome scripts and extensions for... graphics cards

(I got like $1k affiliate from my EVGA script lol)

just find a project you're very interested in designing and learning everything related

I guarantee you'll learn 10x better than staring at some youtube video

[shadow stag]

yea that stuff sounds rly cool

[worn geyser]

What about business at Purdue

How are placements for integrated business engineering

[hearty bramble]

not sure about that major unfortunately, you can probably ask on r/purdue

it's an... interesting major I guess

@worn geyser looks like the downside of the major is that even though you have alot of business/econ courses

the engineering courses are very wide and shallow

https://catalog.purdue.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=15&poid=24181&returnto=19010
check the Engineering IBE Core Selectives

[maiden talon]

wait how is the campus like/surrounding areas?

[hearty bramble]

campus is very safe but kinda in the middle of nowhere

north of campus is residential areas for professors

west of campus is a golf course

[maiden talon]

omg fancyyy

[hearty bramble]

south of campus is pretty empty, and some discovery park which has businesses

[maiden talon]

i seeee

[hearty bramble]

east of campus is student housing, restaurants

and we have a river to the east of that which separates campus from the 'eh' side of town

the campus is actually really safe lol

[maiden talon]

oooo thats good to hear haha

does it snow a lot in winter?

[hearty bramble]

https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/police/images/reports/west-lafayette.pdf

[hearty bramble]

yeah, basically november to like march/april

we only had 1 robbery in 2021

[shadow stag]

thats sick

how is the community/students like in the engineering school

[hearty bramble]

like 2 arrests for weapons

plenty of clubs I think

not as much as other schools ofc, we're kinda sleepy cause it's so cold

very laid back campus, noone ever runs anywhere ever

campus is condensed, you can walk from one end to another in 10-15min between classes

you should never have an issue signing up for courses, ever which is a huge plus

[maiden talon]

is greek life big there? or like the party scene in general

[maiden talon]

oooo thats rlly nice to hear

[hearty bramble]

pretty decent party scene

frats have alot of parties

some frats also have a really bad rep as usual

[maiden talon]

niceeee

ohhhh bahhaha

[hearty bramble]

https://www.purdue.edu/odos/osrr/resources/documents/disciplinary_status.html

like 'bring your own drink' bad

[shadow stag]

damn

[maiden talon]

since its direct to major do u get to start w ur classes based on yr major or do u have to take lots of gen eds first?

[hearty bramble]

for which major

[shadow stag]

engineering has a fye thing

[hearty bramble]

engineering isn't direct to major

[maiden talon]

cs

[hearty bramble]

cs yeah

[maiden talon]

ohhh wait rlly?

[hearty bramble]

oh also

huge tip

https://selfservice.mypurdue.purdue.edu/prod/bzwtxcrd.p_select_info

just take geneds at community college

purdue only transfers credit

so just get a C at community college for like English

[shadow stag]

wdym

like now?

during senior year?

[maiden talon]

wait does it take transfer credit from dual enrollment?

[hearty bramble]

yeah I think so

[shadow stag]

does it take APs?

[hearty bramble]

ask your advisor

[maiden talon]

okayyy bett

[hearty bramble]

you can take it anytime lol

even between years at purdue

[maiden talon]

and for housing, whats that like?

[worn geyser]

Is it possible to take other classes too

Like ECE 437

[hearty bramble]

housing is really bad right now because bitch daniels was the president (politician)

[worn geyser]

At Purdue

[hearty bramble]

but he's gone now and our new president mung chiang is fantastic

[maiden talon]

ooooo okayyy

slayyy

[hearty bramble]

Fundamental to this success is a new initiative we are launching today: the universitywide Action Council on Student Housing and Wellbeing (SHW). This group, whose full membership is listed below, will be led by Patrick Wolfe, Provost and EVP for Academic Affairs and Diversity, and Chris Ruhl, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. It includes the presidents of Purdue Student Government and Purdue Graduate Student Government, senior leaders from across key Purdue functions, and a proud Purdue student parent. To our students, we have listened and we have heard you. We announce, effective immediately, additional investment in Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) to broaden our proactive support and fully meet student needs in counseling and psychological services. And recognizing that our master’s and Ph.D. students are the engine that powers both Purdue’s research and teaching missions, this Action Council will also focus on the important issues faced by 12,000 graduate students in West Lafayette.

our new president is also goated

[worn geyser]

Anything?

[hearty bramble]

he's a huge academic and has hella awards

[hearty bramble]

437 is a pretty advanced course, not sure

[worn geyser]

The chancellor tho💀

[hearty bramble]

you'll have to ask your advisor

[hearty bramble]

ngl PNW is barely affiliated with Purdue

it's a crap school

other than the name we basically have nothing in common

[worn geyser]

Hmm

[maiden talon]

do u get to pick ur dorms or like r they randomly assigned?

[worn geyser]

Is IBE a good major overall

And if u get into the Honors college is the housing situation better

[hearty bramble]

freshmen get randomly assigned based on preference (ac double, non-ac double, etc.)

freshmen should be fine since they allocated alot of housing for freshmen-only

past that you get to choose based on seniority

[maiden talon]

ohhh okay nice nice

[hearty bramble]

I would suggest getting off-campus since you can get some places for pretty cheap

I shared a 3b1b with friends like 10m walk from campus, 5m walk from food

for like $400 a month

[maiden talon]

okayyy that makes sense

[worn geyser]

What abt the Honors college housing

[maiden talon]

damn thats pretty goodd

[hearty bramble]

Honors has their own housing but I think they've overflowed to Shreve (another res hall, also new and fancy) sometimes

[maiden talon]

thank u for answering all my questions😭 sorry to spam u like that

[hearty bramble]

np

[worn geyser]

You’ve really helped

[maiden talon]

frfr

[worn geyser]

It’s like asking a senior lmao

[hearty bramble]

I just graduated so like

I know everything lol

also sorry our dining court kinda sucks now

Bitch Daniels the politician got bonus based on budget cut

guess what the hell he did

[sage gust]

yup

[daring pasture]

Been deferred boys

[fringe sage]

same same

gl in rd to the both of us

mostly me tho sorry

[daring pasture]

||gl to me since that|| gl to both of us

[fringe sage]

LOL

[lethal kiln]

bro

i want

clearly

deferred purdue gg

[dense forum]

IM LIKE SO RELIEVED AND SHIT LIKE@OMFG THE REST OF MY DECISIONS DONT EVEN MATTER NOW

[vast timber]

is there a purdue 2027 server or any other gc or smthg ?

[worn geyser]

Yup

Same qn

Is there a server

I’m looking at stuff abt purdue housing

And bro

Idk

[river trout]

commiting?

[vast timber]

not yet ofc, will wait for other decisions first

[worn geyser]

My parents really want me to go but I want to wait for Madison and UMD

[river trout]

among all the places you applied to, how high up is Purdue?

[river trout]

fair

[worn geyser]

Very high

Above it are JHU Stanford

And Madison and UMD should be on par if not a little higher

[vast timber]

unless i get into uc, gatech, uw or usc (with decent scholarship) or waterloo, i am going to purdue

its above umass, penn state and all

[loud vault]

Unless I get into nyu, bu, unc, stony brook, and UIUC, then I’m should be going to Purdue whether it’s 1st or 2nd major

Oh boy I’m about to get flamed for saying stony brook

[loud vault]

Is it not pleasing?

[vocal kraken]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/10bigv6/purdue_deferred_rejected_pls_read/

[worn geyser]

No f

[loud vault]

Tbh don’t feel much better reading this 😭

[thin flame]

Their new president sounds like an asian guy and he probably knows the potential for Purdue cs and other competitive majors so prob tryna make the college more prestigious 😩

Imagine if the old pres stayed one more year

[strong scroll]

It's more of purdue being extremely unsafely overcrowded

like there are major upgrades needed for the rooms

and I know top people in the CS department have complained about the size of the program

[loud vault]

Being too big?

[strong scroll]

Yep. IDK specifics but family friends with someone.

because with Daniels they wanted more people

[thin flame]

I did watch some housing vids on Purdue

[strong scroll]

and it's not just the CS dept but many STEM depts were worried that quality would drop if people kept getting in and committing in large numbers.

[thin flame]

ngl some of those rooms don’t look too good

[loud vault]

I call it fate

[strong scroll]

right and...there was an incident this year with some bad purdue press. they're going to be looking at mental health and pressure for students already in the programs

[thin flame]

maybe the newer ones or honors housing is better

[strong scroll]

yeah tbh i was sad but i get it

[worn geyser]

i got into honours and bro it doesnt look too diff

[thin flame]

rip

ig if you decorate the room enough it’ll look good anyway

[dark oracle]

Math

[river trout]

i got into my second choice

does that mean that they rejected me from first choice and THEN considered me for second choice? or they just looked at them together and gave me second

[dark oracle]

They rejected you from first choice I think

[river trout]

so if i hadn't applied for a second one it would just be a reject right

[dark oracle]

Yeah I think

[river trout]

ok nice

anyone know how easy it is to transfer at purdue? i got accepted to applied physics but i really wanna do electrical engineering

[dark oracle]

I think it’s quite difficult for engineering

[vast timber]

is that under the same college ?

[river trout]

applied physics is in college of science i think

so no

[vast timber]

its going to be hard then ig

[river trout]

damn

[thin flame]

so did they say in your decision that you got accepted to your second choice?

cause in mine it says "you will automatically be considered for your second choice" or something

[worn geyser]

anyone here got into IBE

[thin flame]

which makes it sound like they havent reviewed it yet

[signal cobalt]

my 2nd choice lol

stoopid me chose the wrong order so now im at business analytics :<

do yall think i can switch?

[worn geyser]

u got in IBE?

pr

[signal cobalt]

nah

[worn geyser]

or

[signal cobalt]

got in 1st choice

[worn geyser]

u want IBE

[signal cobalt]

bus analytics :/

[signal cobalt]

Want double major senor

[worn geyser]

So u want IBE?

[signal cobalt]

ye

[worn geyser]

ahhh

icic

[signal cobalt]

yeyeye

[worn geyser]

IBE gang

[signal cobalt]

fr

[worn geyser]

i was feeling lonely

[signal cobalt]

lol

dont worry

if purdue is the only good school that accepted me

u will have me as ur first friend from discord lol

honestly i dont think i've met anyone from the internet irl

[dense forum]

me neither, i have plans too eventually but its weird knowing i could be going to school with some of yall

[signal cobalt]

ye lol

but its like a fairy tale tho

magical

today's world is weird lol

we literally have chances of meeting a stranger irl whom we simply texted to on the internet a few hours ago

crazy

[dense forum]

oh for sure its actually insane

likesome people ive known for ages that id like to meet up with

but like ppl in here i could have literal classes with

and thats just mind boggling to me

[umbral latch]

So they do yield protect

Well I got straight rejected so they probably didn’t yield me

[lost marsh]

is purdue better than uw madison

[umbral latch]

I’m guessing those deferred were yield protected

[umbral latch]

Equal about

[lost marsh]

engineering

[umbral latch]

Still equal

[lost marsh]

hm

interesting

wait what

purdue is no. 4 lmao and uwm is no. like 28

[vocal kraken]

in terms of engineering, I'd say purdue is probably the best public out there

[signal cobalt]

ye

the best in t10 with highest acp rate

same for indiana bloomington for business lol

[pearl elk]

i mean purdue is really affordable compare to most state schools without merit aid with solid ranking

[signal cobalt]

ye factos

very cheap ngl compared to others

around 45k

[pastel fable]

And the cost of living here in West Laf is pretty low

Purdue is an amazing value

[vocal kraken]

tuition might increase in coming years cause of the new president

[umbral latch]

I’d say, you are completely incorrect

[pastel fable]

Yes, it's frozen until the end of 2023 but after I'd agree with that

[signal cobalt]

ye facts

[umbral latch]

Global warming 😞

[pastel fable]

But still, compared to univs that have been raising their prices every year that PU has been frozen (past 11) it's still gonna be cheaper

[vocal kraken]

yeah

[signal cobalt]

for usa? or at purdue?

[signal cobalt]

damn

[junior gulch]

Purdue

[vocal kraken]

at purdue lol

[pastel fable]

Purdue, we just got a new president

[signal cobalt]

inflation really helping us

ah

i dont check the news for unis lol

too much work 😢

ib students dont have a life fr

but i'd still tell my kids that IB is amazing so they can suffer like me 🙂

[pastel fable]

I'm at Purdue so I hear abt the admin stuff all the time, unfortunately

[umbral latch]

So you’ve overheard their conversations about yield protection?

🤓

[signal cobalt]

ahhh

[pastel fable]

No, but I've heard so many conversations abt how they need to decrease the size of their programs

[signal cobalt]

wdym?

like the cap for no. students?

[junior gulch]

They do got a lot of people there alr

[pastel fable]

Yes, we've really over-admitted

[carmine stag]

Ig its due to the new president

[signal cobalt]

ah

[carmine stag]

I just saw a reddit post regarding this huge pool of deferrals

[pastel fable]

Nope, it's that there are way too many ppl in first-year classes and we have 3 ppl in dorm rooms

[signal cobalt]

MESSSIIII

messi shall give us hope

[carmine stag]

Ayeeee😁

Do you watch club football?

[umbral latch]

So it indirectly ties with yield protection. Got it.

[pastel fable]

Purdue has been yielding a lot more than in the past so its old targets for admission are out of date

[signal cobalt]

ofc

just watched MU comeback against man city

[carmine stag]

I saw a reddit post from a junior at purdue

[signal cobalt]

wow really

thats new

[carmine stag]

And he told me it is due to change in presidency

[pastel fable]

The president started Jan 1

[signal cobalt]

same i saw the news abt over-enrolled and they dont have enough dorm spaces lol

is he good or meh??

[carmine stag]

Who knows

[pastel fable]

I personally think he's meh

[carmine stag]

I missed the game. Do you support utd?

[modern crag]

Prediction on acceptance rate this year?

[carmine stag]

Its defo low for purdue this year

[junior gulch]

In general?

[modern crag]

Yes

[pastel fable]

Yeah, Purdue's rankings have climbed a lot recently. It used to be a pretty mid school overall and they had to admit accordingly, but now that its reputations are creeping up more ppl are enrolling here than int he past

[junior gulch]

Like 35?

To 45

[modern crag]

Wow

[junior gulch]

Idk

[pastel fable]

45 overall sounds right

[modern crag]

And what was it last year

[pastel fable]

High 50s IIRC

Maybe higher than 45 actually

[blissful latch]

man

i got in

purdue

but damn

the amount of

rejects and defer i have seen today

insane

like no cap

[carmine stag]

Cs?

[blissful latch]

i think the ar for college of engineering has dropped significantly

[junior gulch]

Hopefully that trend doesn’t continue with other colleges

[blissful latch]

nah mechanical

[junior gulch]

Yea same

[carmine stag]

Oh great congrats

[pastel fable]

yes

I'd assume so

[umbral latch]

I believe the reason why is cuz they yield protected. Looking at each persons essay they can definitely tell if they are interested in the school or not.

[blissful latch]

wait u are at purdue ?

[umbral latch]

Purdue considers demonstrated interest

[pastel fable]

Yeah

I'm a student here

Not a representative of them, all opinions are my own

[blissful latch]

nope ... the thing is afaik they are considering increasing the tution and decreasing the student so a lot of decent ppl also got rejected

[blissful latch]

sooo tell me is the 10 people in a dorm thing true

[carmine stag]

I hope UIUC accepts me else i will go to tamu for Cs lol

[blissful latch]

?

[signal cobalt]

yessir

[signal cobalt]

why?

[blissful latch]

u got rejected bruh ?

[carmine stag]

Barca fan🙂

[signal cobalt]

amazing

[umbral latch]

Nah I’ve seen plenty of qualified students get deferred

[signal cobalt]

.....

[carmine stag]

Yup applied for cs

[tender zephyr]

I’ve heard it has a 1000+?

[signal cobalt]

i got no words lol

[tender zephyr]

Or is that typical for a large public school

[carmine stag]

💀

[signal cobalt]

with messi gone, barca is nothing

[pastel fable]

We've had some barrack style dorms but I think it got figured out during the school year

But we do have 3 ppl rooms

[carmine stag]

Kinda scared of our match

[blissful latch]

makes sense

[signal cobalt]

lol

ofc i'd be too

[carmine stag]

But i believe in my team

[pastel fable]

He doesn't have much of a vision and he was an official in the Trump administration so IDK if his heart is really in academia

[signal cobalt]

welp mu beat our archenemy

[carmine stag]

Lewa pedri and xavi might pull it off

[signal cobalt]

wow ....

thats rough

[carmine stag]

Tomorrow is pur game with madrid

[signal cobalt]

mb if lew dont flop lol

[umbral latch]

Over enrollment definitely plays a role. They are cautious to accepting students that won’t attend

[pastel fable]

He resigned as dean to take the position then came running back to Purdue after Biden became Pres

[signal cobalt]

lol

[blissful latch]

ok but as an international can i email purdue asking for some scholarships or is it not worth it all cause my efc dropped to 20k due to personal reasongs

[blissful latch]

true that fs

[pastel fable]

You can try, it's worth a shot. idk if Purdue will give much aid to international students tho

But, like, the worse that they can do is say no

[umbral latch]

Did you get accepted and for which major?

[blissful latch]

my point tbh they can't reject me when i already got in sooo yeah long shot

[blissful latch]

mechanical engineeiring

and yes

main campus

[umbral latch]

Congrats

[modern crag]

Do you think housing problems will be solved soon cuz thats my biggest concern

[umbral latch]

No

[carmine stag]

I guess it will be like this for a while

[blissful latch]

a lot of my friends got offered other campus

[carmine stag]

Since purdue is gaining reputation and more applicants are applying every year

[blissful latch]

not the main one

[umbral latch]

It’ll take a few years with Purdue

[carmine stag]

Other campus are shit ngl

[blissful latch]

purdue engineering is one of the best in us (especially mechanical and aerospace) the sole reason i applied

[umbral latch]

Yeah they literally aren’t even t100 🤣

Rather go to VT

[junior gulch]

W

VT>

[umbral latch]

Hence I really had no interest for Purdue

Congrats everyone though

[pastel fable]

New stuff is getting built

[modern crag]

Thats good to know

Whats in your opinion the worst dorms
