is it worth going purdue for undecided?
Meh, if you're instate, yes, otherwise, no. If you go undecided getting into CS and Engineering will be difficult. Other programs will be possible, but Purdue doesn't have a significant advantage in those areas over other state schools (and is prob more expensive if you're OOS)
azure saddle
Meh, if you're instate, yes, otherwise, no. If you go undecided getting into CS ...
mhm
strong scroll
In all reality, not very high compared to earlier years as a lot of people got deferred. It's not 0% but I will say single digits probably for main campus. A lot of people might get CS at another campus or 2nd choice major.

Some scholarships closed on Dec 15 but the priority date is April 15 so you still have time

If you file before Feb you'll get an aid package within 2 weeks, if you do it Feb or later it'll take more time but you'll still get the same consideration

It was probably a mix. Some people legit just got screwed because Purdue is reducing its class size and can't admit as many ppl this year as in the past, some ppl just didn't put in the work to write an essay

How long do purdue rolling usually take?
chrome onyx
how does purdue determine the merit scholarships
i got in for AI w a 4.7/3.96 1550 and didnt get a scholarship
but one of my friends who got in for animal sciences (i think?) got the presidential scholarship w worse stats and stuff
sorry if i sound ignorant im not at all familiar w how scholarships work
leaden wigeon
I think it might be a certain amount allocated to each school
I got a trustee with a 3.87 and 1490
For poli sci major
chrome onyx
ah ok
purdue would be higher on my list if it was more affordable
but since im oos/cali a UC is probably gonna be better
i really like purdue though one of my friends goes there
leaden wigeon
I’m also in state which helps I imagine and had pretty good ecs (imo)
chrome onyx
!!
leaden wigeon
The website says ecs, leadership and those things being connected to your major are part of the merit scholarship criteria
chrome onyx
honestly idk how i got in i decided to apply and wrote all the essays in the 3 hours before the deadline for ea
ah
unlucko
i had shit ecs
ok thanks for info

I’m really hoping I get a Cox scholarship for IU

Did you get another scholarship (if you're comfortable sharing)? I read somewhere that it was the students accepted into the honors college that received either the trustee or emerging leaders scholarship that get invited, but I don't know how trustworthy the source was

I got an email today

purdue is pretty much the same price
yeah but berkeley and LA are better
educationally (pretty sure) and opportunity wise
plus i have lots of friends in the area if i get into berkeley i’ll be close to one of my friends who got into stanford rea
and more likely than not my other friends will also get into berkeley/la if i do

i mean if you have the choice to go to berkeley or la obviously
swift gulch
It was rolling as said
sharp cloud
obviously you would go there over purdue
but if you dont get into any good ucs then purdue is not a bad choice
sharp cloud
ucsd would be better
sharp cloud
i would say everything except sc riv and merced is better than purdue
chrome onyx
for artificial intelligence
sharp cloud
idk about AI but
chrome onyx
/cognitive science stuff

if were talking CS, it would be berkeley la sd and then purdue
chrome onyx
i think purdue is comparable to sd
sharp cloud
and then the rest of the ucs
chrome onyx
hmm ok
sharp cloud
i think purdue is comparable to sd
sd has better prestige and its much nicer
also sd is up there for cs
chrome onyx
sd’s campus is indeeed so nice
my dad and brother both went to sd lol i kinda just don’t want to go there as well

I'd say just stay in CA

for everything besides cs/eng,

IMHO Purdue is overrated for cs

Oh no Purdue is good, just relative to how selective it is
sharp cloud
bruh
quasi remnant
for the old curriculum, yeah
dark oracle
Like it’s almost as selective as UIUC but I’d say that UIUC is better

cs as a field is just so competitive

Neither is UIUC

not worth applying unless ur a genius imo

purdue is not selective for overall

any idea what the acceptance % for ai should be around this year?
it’s a new major right?
chrome onyx
what abt ucsd math - cs vs purdue cs
ucsd probably
chrome trench
ranking is only diff by like 2 right
sharp cloud
what abt ucsd math - cs vs purdue cs
math-cs is basically a math major so purdue would be better if you wanted to do cs
chrome trench
math helps w cs though but ik what u mean
chrome onyx
qol at ucsd is definitely better than purdue though
if that’s something ur considering
sharp cloud
if u only care about cs then purdue better
its not worth taking all those math classes
well
you could just switch to cs

at least at my school
grades and ap exam scores correlate well so it’s not like they’re free 5.0s

contrary to popular belief grade inflation is not that bad here

the gpa distribution at my school is something like
rank 1-20: 5.0-4.6

rank 51-200: 4.0-3.0
and the rest just don’t care
out of 400ish
chrome onyx

quasi remnant
my school doesnt do class rank 💀
chrome onyx
well these are weighted gpas/5 with no real limits on ap classes
most people take 3-5 aps junior and senior
heavy vortex
Even stupider that Californian universities don't accept fucking standardized testing
chrome onyx
ucs?
heavy vortex
Yeah
chrome trench
too many apps
heavy vortex
This whole making admissions backfires hard
If you've got 4-5 guys with the same gpa for one spot
Differentiating based on their extra curricular involvements would probably even more unfair than just straight up using sat/act
chrome onyx
the ucs have nice essay prompts though
and arent sats proven to be more a measure of economic ability/opportunity than intelligence?
like by far?
chrome trench
But that opinion was met with fierce opposition as well as lawsuits alleging that the tests illegally discriminated against minority and low-income applicants.
chrome onyx
ecs can be written about and elaborated on to take personal meaning and stuff
chrome trench
you can argue that everything is a measure of economic status
where do we draw the line
and uc is trying to make their own standardized testing right
heavy vortex
Wouldn't extracurriculars be even more unfair
They should just have a quota for having a certain number of students from each income level
chrome onyx
that also can lead to legal trouble
chrome onyx
Wouldn't extracurriculars be even more unfair
i don’t think so
chrome trench
are they allowed to use income level in admissions
chrome onyx
ecs are valuable even if they aren’t “flashy” on paper, as long as they have personal value and show facets of ur person they are strong
chrome onyx
are they allowed to use income level in admissions
now that u mention it i wouldn’t be surprised if they’re not

i doubt you are able to
uc doesnt have access to it unless you report it and i think they say its not used
