UW-Madison (2022-2023)

[fervent raven]

lmao

[elfin star]

He’s not - keeping staying delusional

[opal stratus]

One step above Rutgers is vile haha

[fervent raven]

terp head ahh

[opal stratus]

Umd a dope ass school I just dunno what ur tryna prove here lmao

Like $10k is not a lot when ur talking about CS jobs

[fervent raven]

in cs once u get here unless ur at mit or cmu or sumn like its all bout u

[fervent raven]

^^

[elfin star]

Massive levels of cope

There’s a difference between 83K and 99K

[fervent raven]

median with the largest cs program in the country 💀

[opal stratus]

That’s 16k LOL

[fervent raven]

also yk that site only tracks ppl that received federal aid right

[elfin star]

Yes, I lowered the difference

[fervent raven]

not whole sample size

[opal stratus]

Median doesn’t matter anyways

The mean and upper hand matter

Median is a pointless metric

[fervent raven]

ye im sayin umd literally has the largest cs population so even then median income != how good a program is

[opal stratus]

Yeah exactly

[sand kayak]

also has to do with the fact that wisconsin is a much lower COL area, and 90% of instate madison grads end up staying in wisconsin

if you're intl/oos, I doubt it matters

purdue intl salary is also like 10k more than purdue in-state salary for cs

[elfin star]

Source?

[fervent raven]

r u rly asking if wisconsin has the same col as the dmv

[elfin star]

No, I’m asking about the 90% claim

[opal stratus]

Also dude im pretty sure you are looking at the computer engineering graduate salary 💀

LMFAO

[elfin star]

No I’m not. It is CS. Not sure where you’re getting that from.

[opal stratus]

Where are you from btw

[sand kayak]

https://ecals.cals.wisc.edu/2019/01/21/uw-madison-working-for-wisconsin-uw-graduates-stay-in-wisconsin/
here's a page that touts 80%. lemme find another page with more comprehensive data

[elfin star]

Does this specially talk about CALS graduates?

[sand kayak]

idts. also says "50% of all uw-madison alumni call wisconsin home" which is about in line with their in-state numbers

[opal stratus]

Also I just looked it up

And uw Madison cs graduates make more than umd grads

[elfin star]

Fwiw, median salaries do matter because they provide objective data that reflects the job market’s assessment of the opportunities, and demands of different careers. There’s no productive meaning in assessing outliers in your salary assessment

[opal stratus]

So I don’t know what statistic you are looking at bro

[elfin star]

You’re talking out of your ass dude, you know it

[sand kayak]

https://federalrelations.wisc.edu/announcements/salary-outcomes-2020/
this is institution-wide data btw

[elfin star]

https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/search/?search=University of Wisconsin-Madison&page=0&sort=threshold_earnings:desc&toggle=institutions

Vs

https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/search/?search=University of Maryland-College Park&page=0&sort=threshold_earnings:desc&toggle=institutions

[fervent raven]

Problems with ur argument

• site limits it to ppl who receive fed aid
• UMD is much larger
• COL is lower in wisc
• UMD isn’t so special that you’ll get hired for going there u still hv lots of individual work to be done
• in every metric such as cs research, placements etc they are comparable and overall uw mad is better
  So fuck up bout umid no one cares

[elfin star]

COL?

[fervent raven]

@elfin star what’s better brown or gt for cs?

[fervent raven]

Cost of living

[opal stratus]

@elfin star that site isn’t accurate

[elfin star]

In terms of an engineering program, GT wins. But Brown graduates earn more. It comes down to what schools vibe you fuck with

[opal stratus]

65k is the median salary for the ENTIRE UNIVERSITY lmfao

[elfin star]

Yes, there are filters there, in case you didn’t notice, genius

[opal stratus]

The fact that the median salary across all majors is only 10k ish off proves our point

Yeah that site doesn’t have accurate data

[elfin star]

🤦🏻‍♂️

This is cope x3

[fervent raven]

Gt

MIT

Brown

[elfin star]

Yes, I did say Brown graduates earn more

[fervent raven]

Would u say brown is better than mit

For cs

[opal stratus]

Also brown starting salary isn’t 200k

[elfin star]

Not at all, no. Go to the Big4 if you get into them.

[opal stratus]

This website clearly isn’t too accurate

[fervent raven]

The number means nothing 🤷🏾‍♂️

[opal stratus]

Also there are only 185 data points

[elfin star]

“Numbers don’t matter because they don’t fit the narrative I’ve set my mind upon”

[opal stratus]

Wisco doesn’t even publish that kinda stats for specific LSA majors I don’t think

[fervent raven]

I mean you’ve disregarded every other point? 😂

The number while being informative is no indication of what ur getting from a school

For cs

It’s common sense

Umd is a good school whatever bro said earlier shldnt even bother u that much lmao

But saying uw is shit cuz u got 10k on a site that can only use data from ppl who recieved aid is insane to me

[opal stratus]

Literally

[elfin star]

1. Yes, that data could still be representative. Not a flaw.

2. Yes, that does not matter. You’re regardless going to study in one college anyway.

3. Not by a huge margin. College Park is cheap.

4. Same with UW. What matters is the opportunities you get for free.

[fervent raven]

And if u can’t understand that cs is more bout wut u out in than ur school name I expect u to transfer before graduation 🤷🏾‍♂️

[opal stratus]

Don’t come in here saying cope when umd is also easier to get into as well

Like cmon 😭

[elfin star]

Never said that

Show where I said UW was bad

[fervent raven]

In this market no opportunity is free

[fervent raven]

Cba I’m off to bed lmao

[opal stratus]

Unless you tryna work for the army

[elfin star]

You cannot

[fervent raven]

Cs is hella competitive

[elfin star]

I never said UW was bad

[fervent raven]

👌

I’m fine with that

My point was made

[elfin star]

It was my top choice before I decided on UMD

[fervent raven]

We’ll hope ur happy at umd 🤷🏾‍♂️

I like umd too 💀

[sand kayak]

3. college park might be cheap but what umd graduates are working in college park lol

[fervent raven]

The dmv is expensive

[sand kayak]

talking about DC's high COL

[fervent raven]

Ye most end up in dc, maybe nova

[elfin star]

Yeah, this is true. But many move to either NY/west cost too. I think I’m gonna go down that route, I don’t know

My point to claim was that both these schools are equal, and honestly, you should choose depending on the vibe you fuck with. None of them “clear” each other — I was being distasteful when I said that

[fervent raven]

Fair enough

We’ll all get to what we deserve in the end

[small musk]

also

guys

any intls here

when do you plan to reach madison??

[graceful comet]

That is what you’re on

[graceful comet]

Tbh Median is not a pointless metric and honestly the best metric to use here, he’s just making dumb arguments with said median

[graceful comet]

Bro, this violates the argument you’ve made this entire time lmao. Brown has higher average salaries, but probably lower for CS due to the fact that its CS program is far worse

[graceful comet]

This is most definitely true

[graceful comet]

That data is in fact, not representative. Non-response bias, specific polling and a small sample size make that like a 20% degree of confidence

[elfin star]

Small sample size? What the fuck are you on? https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/assets/InstitutionDataDocumentation.pdf

[elfin star]

It does not. There’s little difference in the engineering programs Madison and UMD offer. That is not the case for those schools that were mentioned above. Also, I think you do not have the ability to read — evidently so, Brown has a higher median salary for CS than GT

[elfin star]

Look, this is a massive cope, but you do you. There’s definitive documents of where the data comes from, so I’m not sure how and what grounds you’re dismissing it on.

It has all the schools in its dataset that report to the federal government. So, no, the data is 100% representative.

[elfin star]

Bla Bla Bla Bla

[elfin star]

Mediocre pay for mediocre employees. The median salary ensures everyone can earn an uninspiring, totally average paycheck. Why reward high achievers or pay to retain top talent? That only encourages unrealistic expectations. The median salary keeps things predictable, boring, and in line with the minimal effort most people put in. I agree, what a useless metric.

On a concluding note, median salaries DO provide a useful statistical summary of the central tendency in pay for a given role, location, or degree. They are not skewed upwards or downwards by a few outliers and represent the experience of the “typical” or middle-earning employee.

Fwiw, it essentially reflects the reality of most workers’ paychecks. For most roles, the median pay is quite possibly a more, and possibly most, representative figure than the mean or average. Outliers aren’t something you can rely on.

Unless there are confounding factors involved that affect this data in shape or form, I don’t think you’re making the argument you think you are.

[graceful comet]

I will repeat what you asked me. Do you know how to read?

[graceful comet]

Yeah and is that data entirely true? Absolutely not, since it shows a median above 180 grand. A median income above 100k is nigh impossible unless we’re tracking 40 years out

[elfin star]

🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeah, I’m out.

[graceful comet]

Gives up when their data is bad lmaooo

[fervent raven]

Critical thinking isn’t for everyone 🤷🏾‍♂️

[opal stratus]

Hopefully umd has a liberal arts requirement 🤣

[elfin star]

If you guys want to think you “won” some argument by claiming something without any cause or evidence, go for it. Stay delusional.

[uncut reef]

Yall fighting over unis

Absolute state

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-moment-gif-20176719

[elfin star]

Your claim that a $184K median CS salary is "nigh possible" reeks of ignorance and narrow-mindedness - utterly unfounded doubts born of laziness and lacking any grounding in economic reality. Within the tech field, $184K medians are snarkily implausible only to those content remaining obliviously asleep at the wheel.

Oh, but, by all means, you do you. I mean, who needs to understand the difference between starting and median salaries anyway? It's not like that information could be useful in making informed career decisions or negotiating a fair salary. Keep doing what you're doing, champ. Keep dismissing data.

[graceful comet]

… its ten years after enrollment

[elfin star]

No. See the data for yourself. I’m not sure why you’re making claims right out of your ass.

[graceful comet]

No one gets 100k raise from their starting their pay

I looked at the data

Its 10 years after their enrollment

Maybe if you knew how to read your own sources, you’d know that

[elfin star]

Did I ever claim those salaries were starting salaries?

[elfin star]

There’s quite literally a taunt at you right here. You brought the strawman of “starting salaries” in.

No where did I claim these were starting salaries. I only used the term median.

[graceful comet]

Bro, you brought up starting salaries. In the time frame shown in the data you’re claiming, its ten years after enrollment at the university. Thats at most 6 years after your oh so precious starting salaries. My point, if you could actually read it for once, is that the MEDIAN salary shown is unrealistic for that working timeframe, so therefore I don’t believe the arguments you are making. However, since you refuse to even listen to this point, it leads me to believe that you know this and are just trying to incite chaos

[summer mortar]

Yo this funny af. Keep fighting

[graceful comet]

Lolol, I am just too bored. Senioritis do be kicking in

[elfin star]

You brought up staring salaries

Where? Quote me.

it’s ten years after enrollment

Does not weaken my argument a single bit. You’re the one who misread all my messages and tried to argue with an imaginative scenario. Not my fault at all.

Median salary shown is unrealistic

Sure, whatever floats your boat.

[neon crown]

Dept of Ed numbers are 💩 and you know that

UMD is a fine school, don’t take it personally. You’re gonna do great there. Wisco is also a fine school and people who go there do well too. Take it easy

[fervent raven]

it is im jus sayin in cs if u think the minimal diff between schools at the t20 matters enough for job prospects then no one canhelp u fr
atp its more about u and bro seems too not understand that idk

[radiant dawn]

umd is better

cause twizzy terp is attending

no question

UW madison is mid af cause they yield protected me

while UMD has understood the sexiness and raw potential of luh twizzy

[fervent raven]

Real

Umd yield protected me

Trade off

[radiant dawn]

oh true

then theyre tied

[fervent raven]

Ye

[radiant dawn]

W

@fervent raven WAIT bro left the server 😭

[fervent raven]

Yep

[radiant dawn]

tough luck

[graceful comet]

?

[neon crown]

I think you’re replying to the wrong person? I certainly agree w you. The difference among “good state schools” is really minimal unless it’s UVA/Mich/Berkeley/UCLA/UNC and even then only for specific majors

[fleet notch]

Best way to appeal UW Madison's financial aid offer for something better as a shot in the dark?

(I'm out of state)

[fervent raven]

i think u can get up to like 6k in loans but otherwise not rly (not a financial advisor)

[lament arrow]

UW barely gives fin aid for in state. I wouldn't count on it

[fleet notch]

yea that's why I said shot in the dark lol

[fervent raven]

only way is merit which ion think u can bargain for

[fervent raven]

wuts ur instate coa

[graceful comet]

You can appeal for merit?

[fervent raven]

I meant i don’t think u can appeal for

[graceful comet]

Yeah I just checked I can't

sadge

[formal axle]

hello

does anyone have info on uw mad vs purdue cs

[fervent raven]

imo comes down to personal preference

bouth good

[lament arrow]

Sticker price
I got loans but that's it

[fervent raven]

28k?

[lament arrow]

Yea

[fervent raven]

the oos coa is insane

if i was instate id be on a full smh

[lament arrow]

Tuition's going up with my class. They've been able to keep it constant for years now

[fervent raven]

ye went up 4% (im in ur class lmao)

[lament arrow]

I totally knew that 💀

What're you studying?

[fervent raven]

CS hbu

[winter yoke]

Do I need to register for the placement tests after enrollment? Or before?

[uncut reef]

after

[drifting folio]

I was considering UMD because one of my (former) friend studies there. Until I heard that he did a lot of scummy stuff lol

[lament arrow]

Econ and maybe intl business as i have most of my degree credits already

[fleet notch]

anybody know of any really unique stuff offered by uw madison (especially within the college of letters and science) that most other colleges don't have? could be specific research opportunities, professors working on groundbreaking projects, organizations, courses, etc.

[formal axle]

like in terms of what 😭

[opal stratus]

Purdue I think is higher ranked right

And cheaper

Wisco is more fun

More school spirit

Madison is awesome

[fervent raven]

Wel what matters to u

• UW is more fun, better campus iirc and is really good for cs around same level as Purdue however it’s likely more expensive oos unless u got scholarships or cost don’t matter
• idk much bout Purdue heard it’s depressing idk and there was the overenrollment otherwise Purdue is an engineering giant so there’s that

Personally I think I’m terms of cs they’re bout equal more bout the work u put in urself

[opal stratus]

Yeah

[fervent raven]

Tldr can’t go wrong with either

[formal axle]

man 😭

thank you

do companies see madison the same as purdue

like i konw purdue is renowned and well known

[summer mortar]

Purdue academic rigor is fking insane

[formal axle]

tbf isnt it rigorous no matter where u go for engineering/cs

[summer mortar]

Naw Purdue diff

[formal axle]

oh word

[summer mortar]

Their curve is at like C while other schools do B or B+

Wacky

[formal axle]

oh yea i heard theres grade deflation

wb uwmad

[summer mortar]

Only thing about UWM is that the letter and science requirements

Idk much about UWM but that’s the only thing that popped out for me

[formal axle]

do credits transfer p easily

[summer mortar]

Ima leave that for someone else to answer cause idk much abt the school

[fervent raven]

Ap or De

[graceful comet]

If UW-Madison has equivalents, I get 52 credits for my CC classes 😎

[fervent raven]

Yes I’m this job market it’ll be hard almost everywhere except maybe t3 or so but both will be enough to get u looked at after that it’s all u (don’t expect school name to carry u if u hvnt put in enough)

[graceful comet]

The page on transfers says they will analyze course by course and count equivalence, and award credit based on that. It does not impact your GPA at Wisconsin

Also I love the Courtney pfp

[lament arrow]

I speak for in state: yes, all of mine are counting towards what i need them to count for
They're from a four year vs cc though

Transferology is what they told me to use to get an idea. If your course pops up as like an Xx-17 or something like that, they'll run through the validation process. Just means no one's transferred it before

[valid elbow]

Yes. Anything after a t5 is seen the same (except few biases)

[rose mortar]

Does UWM have good internship chance or job opportunities?

[opal stratus]

Yeah definitely

[fluid spear]

i cant decide between madison and uiuc. i wanna go to uiuc bc instate tuition much cheaper tha madison but i visited madison and i like but that price is too much for me as an oos student 😢

[opal stratus]

What’s ur major

[rose mortar]

Me as well

Engineering and i cant choose between A&M , UWM, and UDub

[graceful comet]

What’s your opinion on each?

[fluid spear]

im art major in graphic design

[rose mortar]

UWM: direct entry, cheapest, good campus and student life, dk about the internship opportunities
UDub: most expensive, not direct entry, but good location(surrounded by microsoft etc), somewhat prestige
A&M: ranked high in engineering, not the best location but I can transfer to UT Austin, really need to work hard first year to avoid unwanted major, and i heard that its tradition is somewhat like a cult, very hot

[opal stratus]

What major business? Or engineering

[opal stratus]

Hmm

Both are prolly the same

Illinois is going to be super fun

Lowkey go there to save the money

It’s still big 10

But Madison is pretty and if you think your happiness is worth money you’ll make back later in life then go for it

[rose mortar]

engineering

[graceful comet]

I would say UWM based on what you say

[lament arrow]

Uwm is UW Milwaukee, not Madison

[rose mortar]

But I am a bit worried about internship in wisconsin since it is not in the industrial area

[lament arrow]

They're rather good at placement, as they're close to Milwaukee, Twin Cities, and Chicago and work regularly with employers from those areas to offer students internships and jobs after grad

[graceful comet]

I think internships are possible anywhere, you just need to put in more effort. I’m sure you could find good internships at any of these schools

[fluid spear]

lol thanks u. i noticed madison and uiuc have big campuses but uiuc feels more comfortable to me madison feels more city like

[opal stratus]

Yeah honestly go with your gut at that point

Everyone on here always says to go for the cheaper option but imo I think happiness is the most important

If you feel that the burden isn’t too terrible and you’ll be happier go for it

[cursive fern]

Anyone know when wl decisions come out

[lament arrow]

RD came out end of March

[valid elbow]

After May probably

[graceful comet]

So I visited Wisco today

Any questions y’all?

[fervent raven]

Food dorms location weather

Cant visit till June

[graceful comet]

Weather is cold for most of the year, warm for start of fall, end of spring

Location, its right in the middle of Madison, connected to the captial building

It has a lot of urban parts, but the lakeside dorms are more suburban

I can’t say much about the inside of dorms or food

[fervent raven]

Ic Ic

[graceful comet]

The lake was so pretty

The hill in the middle of the campus was torture though

[boreal mango]

Wisconsin sucks

[graceful comet]

Liz Waters was on top of it, so maybe avoid that dorm if you don’t want that commute

[graceful comet]

Oh this dude is a troll account

[summer mortar]

Is he talking abt the state?

[boreal mango]

Nah the school

[summer mortar]

Yo anyone know what the Math placement test is like?

[fervent raven]

i took it

pretty much sat math

wasnt too hard

[graceful comet]

Any like time issues with it?

[fervent raven]

i had 90 finished in 45

sorry for late response

[graceful comet]

all good

[lament arrow]

Does it have any calc at all? Stats?

[fervent raven]

ummmm

ion remember any stat

nothing that was like ap stat lvl at least

[graceful comet]

Aight

[lament arrow]

Do I remember pre calc two years and some after taking it is the question now

[fervent raven]

wen u take sat

[graceful comet]

4 years for me 😎

I'ma fucking die

[fervent raven]

yall b aiit 💀

if u hv calc cred it dont matter

[lament arrow]

Never took it

[fervent raven]

oh 😭 act?

[lament arrow]

Yep

[fervent raven]

similar ig

[lament arrow]

Math's kinda diff though, at least with set up

When you haven't done the kind of math on it in years and can't remember

The dumbest thing I did for it was take the derivative to find the min or max when i could have legit plugged into my calc and graphed it out

[fervent raven]

lmfao

i mean ye

but i think the concepts on it were pretty foundational

i prollly made dumb mistakes but like guy in the ss said if u alr havve credit (which tbh its a2c) the placement test matters 0

and u can retake it IF u want

[fervent raven]

for cs theres not either afaik

[verbal plank]

it's madison time

[upbeat thunder]

yo where do i find the estimated cost of attendance?

I can't find in anywhere

[graceful comet]

In the financial aid tab on the student center part of my.wisc.edu

[fervent raven]

do u mean like post aid and scholarships

well everything in same place

go to student center then fin aid

[fervent raven]

u african?

[upbeat thunder]

i lit have nothing on that page

[upbeat thunder]

nah

[fervent raven]

lemme see

How do u know if your housing preferences are submitted?

[graceful comet]

Should say Housing Contract Submitted or smth like that

[fervent raven]

^^

[upbeat thunder]

i have nothing like that

mine says "Room Assignment Information Not Available
Room assignment information will be available later this summer. Be sure to regularly check your wisc.edu email account since all University related correspondence will be sent there.'

[upbeat thunder]

have you got it?

hai

for your dorms did you guys choose double or triple rooms or any

[fervent raven]

if u want best chance go with any ig but i hv 2 roomates so triple

[foggy palm]

Hmm

am i more likely to get a double or triple if i put any?

[fervent raven]

idrk

[fervent raven]

if u join the wisc hub u shld be able to see a co27 server

u can ask there

[foggy palm]

discord server?

do you mind sending me the link 🙏

[robust halo]

It’s this https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406046651927-Discord-Student-Hubs-FAQ

You have to sign up in there

[warm cairn]

But like what did you screenshot for proof?

[buoyant raft]

i did the

enrollment deposit receipt

[lament arrow]

With how housing has been the past few years, I've been hearing from friends who attend that if you get a double, it's a shock.
Older dorms are more likely to be doubles due to spacing while newers are more likely to be triples

[warm cairn]

If we signed up for a later soar date, do they save spots in classes?

I'm in late July unfortunately

[fervent raven]

i jus went with a triple with a friend (ish) and someone he knew for this reason

[fervent raven]

they do but its not nearly as much as early soars

like lets say there r 100 spots

50 may be filled early

and they may save 10 for every subsequent one

something like that obv more complex

[warm cairn]

Thank you 😭

Ima try to get an earlier one if I can

I legit signed up the day that it opened and all the good spots were filled

I guess my spot isn't too bad, there are aboit 10+ sessions after mine

[fervent raven]

ye

[fervent raven]

i waited on that shi like an album dorp got the second session

[lament arrow]

Same
I was on the site with three tabs ready to go if one decided not to work. Then i got scared at the testing thing bc i thought you needed it done to sign up, only to realize you just needed to check the box lol
I'm trying to switch my advising group from L&S to the intercollege one and the dates legit keep disappearing

[warm cairn]

So stressful 🫣

[graceful comet]

I think some colleges have earlier SOAR dates (I’m engineering so mine may be earlier than L&S)

[fervent raven]

Oh word when’s urs I’m ther 6/7

[graceful comet]

7/8

Shit my theory has been disproven

[fervent raven]

We same date I mean June 7 btw 😂

[fervent raven]

I mean I think similar dates but they fill up based on school I feel

Cuz there r only so many advisors for one college

[graceful comet]

Ye

Colleges also have massively different sizes

[fervent raven]

Ye

[lament arrow]

I'm June 14/15 rn
I know people in Engineering who are mid August. I think they just separate dates by college to keep it more organized

[cursive fern]

[fervent raven]

[cursive fern]

[mental epoch]

[mental epoch]

Yeppp

[blissful wyvern]

Does everyone get to their major despite getting admitted to letters and sciences

And does it depend on ur performance in placement exams

And can someone help me what to do next

After accepting my offer

Plz🙏🙏

[fervent raven]

Some majors have course abs grade requirements

Unless direct

[fervent raven]

No those just decide ur math and English level of u have no credit ig it lets u declare faster cuz no or less pre req

[fervent raven]

Go to student to do list has everything

[blissful wyvern]

I did not get it

[fervent raven]

Wdym

Wut major

[blissful wyvern]

Computer science

[fervent raven]

Oh

Welp cs u can’t get in direct

U have to complete some math and intro to cs req but it’s not hard

[blissful wyvern]

Then what is to be done

[blissful wyvern]

So that I have to do in uni

Or beforehand if so how

[fervent raven]

https://www.cs.wisc.edu/undergraduate/undergrad-program-cs/

[blissful wyvern]

So are placement exams easy

[fervent raven]

Scroll down to cs major declaration requirements

[fervent raven]

Depends on the level ur at but was easy for me

[blissful wyvern]

Well I am good i calculus Indian board tho

[blissful wyvern]

It says to take some classes so these are to be taken once we start uni right

[fervent raven]

Yes

Unless u have equivalent credit that lets u skip it or u do well on placements

[blissful wyvern]

Do we get prep material for placement exams or after registering that’s it

[fervent raven]

U can also test out of specific courses

[blissful wyvern]

Didn’t give AP’s

[fervent raven]

Um I think there’s a practice exam somewhere but they don’t rly send u much

It’s like sat level math

So up to trigonometry

[blissful wyvern]

Aah easy then

[fervent raven]

Or pre calc

[fervent raven]

U can still ask ur advisor

And if they don’t give it u can place out of specific courses

W an exam

[blissful wyvern]

Also if I do get good placements marks I skip classes and what do they teach next

[fervent raven]

U go on ao the next course in that sequence

[blissful wyvern]

So people with credits are like automatically ahead of me in degre

[fervent raven]

Or u fulfill the requirement

[fervent raven]

Eh somewhat they’re just either not rly taking a certain course or might grad faster

But there’s no being ahead

[blissful wyvern]

Hmm

Cool

[fervent raven]

Especially in cs

All bout wut u do o. Ur own

[blissful wyvern]

Thanks a lot mate sorry for picking ur brain so much really appreciate it

[fervent raven]

[blissful wyvern]

[lament arrow]

What's up?

[blissful wyvern]

I need a roommate cuz I am being offered off campus only

Any Indians going off campus

?

[lament arrow]

There's a roommate page on IG and FB you can post on

[blissful wyvern]

Link?

[fervent raven]

y off campus only?

[lament arrow]

https://www.facebook.com/groups/uwmadison2027/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

And the account on IG is uwmadison27

[robust halo]

Oh god

Not that

Do not join that

That is not official

That is run by people with ulterior motives

They want to promote their page

The fact that they put “official” in title even if they clarified in bio is pathetic

They run dozens of those btw

In fact I wonder if you could report it to the school

Like I told Davis abt them once and they said this

[small musk]

no acc you should post on that, it has the most amount of people on it

[lament arrow]

Madison does not have a school run roommate page. The group running it found a niche in the market and they filled it. I also didn't pay anything and was still allowed on the Facebook page

If you need a roommate, that's where everyone is looking for a roommate. You don't exactly have much choice

[robust halo]

it says they want you to subscribe lmao

and ik people here who did pay

albeit not for madison but another group they run

[lament arrow]

They didn't exactly check if i did

[robust halo]

still a scummy practice to put it on your site to begin with

and some schools do in fact run their own pages

[lament arrow]

And most of my classmates who posted on it didn't either

Madison, however, does not, which leaves the student with no choice in the matter

[robust halo]

start your own!

encourage them to make an official one!

in all honesty tho

its your choice

support a shit company

but i am going to tell people not to

[lament arrow]

It's everyone's individual choice, as it is with every other discretionary purchase

[robust halo]

of course

and i am allowed to attempt to persuade them against it

if they choose not to listen then like you said it is their choice

[blissful wyvern]

I got 80% in my exams my predicted were 88%

Will I not be able

To get in now

[fervent raven]

You’ll b fine

[spare stirrup]
