and the ones which do exist
you dont even need a license for them
its so stupid
scenic vigil

scenic vigil

lucid hull

lucid hull
the other option is paying 5000 online which goes directly to the government
opaque spear

lucid hull
603 dollars
opaque spear

opaque spear
money glitch patched
wicked flame
wait so what if you work a remote job from India that pays you in the US
that'd be a very big issue with the way indian banking works
good way to loose all your money
scenic vigil
the company looks at it as a risk
if the company is already in india as well
they'd just hire you from india and pay you less
opaque spear
is it like illegal or something
scenic vigil
no
opaque spear
why’s it a risk then
scenic vigil
just lot of legal issues that us companies are scared to take
wicked flame

scenic vigil
perception of india in the west is insane 💀
fr bro
lucid hull
i doubt anyone knows that Indian FinTech is at least half a century ahead of the US simply because they pride the Visa/Mastercard duopoly
scenic vigil
india better
wicked flame
what are you talking about
The withdrawl/spending limits
scenic vigil
culture here is so good
lucid hull
the spending limits are based on your income though
scenic vigil
with banks
yea
you pay india tax
not usa tax
besides no one who makes that much
holds it in accounts
probably real estate or other equities
rather hold them in dollars yk
wicked flame
India is consistently ranked as the most corrupt banking system in the world
scenic vigil
conversion rates on the rise is crazy
lucid hull
💀
scenic vigil
India is consistently ranked as the most corrupt banking system in the world
bro is yapping
sure maybe it is
says who
as a resident of india you cant hold more than 3000?
or as a tourist
wicked flame
as a resident of india you cant hold more than 3000?
As a resident of india you are not allowed more than 3000$ dollars in foreign currency
scenic vigil
bro
thats in notes and coins
💀
no ones holding more than 3k at their house
i mean they are probably the black money situation is crazy in india
but not in dollars
it is
scenic vigil
you wont have any issues
lots of people do it
move from usa to india after making bank
or just work from home
better social life here
lucid hull
this is why I mentioned no one really knows about Indian FinTech
scenic vigil
yea
lucid hull
carrying notes in india is very uncommon lol
scenic vigil
carrying notes in india is very uncommon lol
everyones storing stacks in their houses tho 😂
lucid hull
💀
scenic vigil
5 lakhs i believe
theres a higher chance of a bank in usa going under than a bank in india going under dude 💀
no svbs in india
scenic vigil
25 banks a year fail in usa
23 have failed in the past 20 years in india
so yea
i agree with you there is mad corruption here
like insanely high
lucid hull
yeah citigroup in india is operated by an indian bank
scenic vigil
damn fr? i didnt know
lucid hull
yep, they weren't able to compete with other indian banks
so they sold their division for india to axis
wicked flame
I also thought there was a whole thing in BBC recently about indian banks giving loans for money they didn't actually have
scenic vigil
indian poltiics are so stupid
scenic vigil
I also thought there was a whole thing in BBC recently about indian banks giving...
bbc just likes to hate
maybe true tho
fuck bbc
lucid hull
I also thought there was a whole thing in BBC recently about indian banks giving...
well every bank gives loan for money they don't have
that's money creation
scenic vigil
true
lucid hull
it's called a money multiplier or more formally keynesian multiplier
wicked flame
it's called a money multiplier or more formally keynesian multiplier
I don't think that is what they were referencing in this case
scenic vigil
keynes is the goat
lucid hull
i think more famous cases are where indian banks blindly gave out huge loans that were never recovered
because the loanee fled
scenic vigil
banks giving loans for money they dont have probably happens in every country in the world
vijay mallya
i thought he offered to repay his loans
idk though clearly
comparitive to the amount of corruption in real estate that happens in india those bank loans that were never recovered are peanuts
scenic vigil
yep
lucid hull
real estate 💀 not so much
wicked flame
real estate 💀 not so much
fairly unregulated depending on your state in US as well
scenic vigil
or piece of real estate is sold at 70% black + 30% white
scenic vigil
fairly unregulated depending on your state in US as well
nothing compares to india
lucid hull
real estate in india is where all the black money is at
scenic vigil
yea
its crazy
market rate is 55000 per sqyd lets say
its gonna be sold at 160000 per sqyd
the same land could be sold like thrice
panchayati registered lands
wicked flame
real estate in india is where all the black money is at
I thought it sat in all the maltese banks
scenic vigil
I thought it sat in all the maltese banks
what
wicked flame
Malta’s black economy, technically referred to as ‘the shadow economy’, was conservatively estimated to reach 26 per cent of GDP
lucid hull
I thought it sat in all the maltese banks
there are very few people in India that can think of offshoring their wealth in banks outside of India
scenic vigil
yea
wicked flame
there are very few people in India that can think of offshoring their wealth in ...
Yeah I think malta banks is a euro thing mostly
scenic vigil
offshoring to maltese banks is out of people's reach
lucid hull
but the real estate corruption happens across every income class of india
scenic vigil
i dont think theres a single person here whos bought real estate who doesnt own a percentage of black money
generates very quickly
wicked flame
by black money we mean money from crime correct?
scenic vigil
the seller who recieves the money
lucid hull
money that's essentially not accounted for under indian transactions
scenic vigil
doesnt have to pay taxes on it
wicked flame
I considered that criminal money
scenic vigil
if hes getting it in cash
sure if you want you consider it like that
if that is a crime then india has atleast a billion criminals
lucid hull
I considered that criminal money
well yes, it's certainly a crime to have black money in circulation
wicked flame
Black money includes all funds earned through illegal activity and otherwise legal income that is not recorded for tax purposes.```but its become way too generic thats its not a crime anymore
lucid hull
but it's not crime in the sense that it originates from cartels, drug trafickking or other stuff
scenic vigil
yea
sour ferry
why are we talking abt black money in the purdue chat
wicked flame
well yes, it's certainly a crime to have black money in circulation
Yeah I think the connotation is different in india
than in US
scenic vigil
Yeah I think the connotation is different in india
yea
wicked flame
why are we talking abt black money in the purdue chat
Crime chat
scenic vigil
its become very usual
sour ferry
purdue has a dark past
scenic vigil
not a single real estate transaction without more than 50% black money
market rates are a joke
its practically not a crime anymore
lucid hull
ok i could give you an example
a property may have a market value of 100K usd, this property can be displayed as 15K usd on paper which means tax applicable is only on 15K USD, this is the white money paid, the remaining 85K USD is paid as black money.
eventhough the source may be white, it has now been converted to black
scenic vigil
yea
besides the market value is not 100k usd
the market value is 15k
stupid ass regulations
in a place where land is worth 150k usd per sqyd
its market is prolly 50k
so the gov is already helping you in the crime
lucid hull
yeah, black money is also a lot larger in denomination especially where i live
scenic vigil
yea
lucid hull
where houses prices are synonymous with american home prices
lucid hull
where houses prices are synonymous with american home prices
i think a 3 bedroom in trump towers is like 2 million USD 💀

There is going to be phenomenal research at both UMD and Purdue, as a undergrad you aren't going to have a field you're specialized in and as such aren't really guaranteed to be working on the research that interests you.

some ppl have fields they want to specialize in though
scenic vigil
some ppl have fields they want to specialize in though

True, but doesn't guarantee you'll get research in that field as an undergrad
Regardless of going to Purdue or UMD

This ranking is designed to identify institutions and faculty actively engaged in research across a number of areas of computer science, based on the number of publications by faculty that have appeared at the most selective conferences in each area of computer science (see the FAQ for more details). ```doesn't surprise me ASU would be so high

scenic vigil
Is umd letters and sciences worth it
i dont think so
transfers are crazy hard now they reduced the number of seats
scenic vigil
Due to severe enrollment pressures, the campus is changing the requirements to become a Computer Science major, starting with Fall 2024 matriculants. While we plan to increase the number of freshmen directly admitted to the Computer Science major by 150 slots (from 450 to 600 enrolled freshmen), the number of slots for new external transfers and internal transfers coming from a different UMD major will be reduced to 100 per year (down from 1,000). The new LEP Guidelines go into effect for students matriuclating to the University of Maryland, a Maryland Community College, or a USM school in Fall 2024. Current students who matriculated to the University of Maryland, a Maryland Community College, or a USM school prior to Fall 2024 will follow the prior LEP Guidelines.
this why
1000 to 100 slots for transfer

but lots of my classes have professor office hours as well

Why aren’t they just in one round? <:meltingsob:839958632452063263>
ive heard this year specifically theyre doing it to try and get a better eye on their yield and make sure they dont over enroll again

why did u pick purdue
top-tier academics, loved the vibes i got from talking to students alumni and profs

Cuz it’s the last true engineering school for my major :]
did u get cooked by other schools
whats ur 4.5a
and why is there a .5

cs is part of engineering at Purdue
no, Cs is part of ocllege of engineering.
clever moon
cs is also in college of science
abstract cloud
That’s just cope ngl
for CS UMD is the better program.
yo what even is this discussion man 😭 I didnt apply to umd cs coz i didnt know their direct admit but they are rlly good for cs 😭
clever moon
for CS UMD is the better program.
for cs purdue is better and its not close tbh
abstract cloud
for cs purdue is better and its not close tbh
😭 ppl have different reasons to choose a university. for research opportunities in ML and AI, UMD diffs i just have to say.
i mean theres literally google career fairs on campus
umd is an amazing location
clever moon
location is like the onyl reason to pick it
abstract cloud
im ngl no offense to anyoen but debating because someone wants to choose umd over purdue is crazy
clever moon
i mean theres literally google career fairs on campus
theres career fairs on like every good engi school campus tbh
abstract cloud
theres career fairs on like every good engi school campus tbh
theres like a lot of google recruiting on umd
they also have amazing scholarships
clever moon
i mean its up to u bro
abstract cloud
i mean its up to u bro
i didnt apply to UMD
but read the message i replied too
to*
go to the thread
its actually interesting 😭
ppl debating about umd over purdue
wait thas not the thread
i went all the way up
anwyays it doesnt matter
clever moon
what r the results in ur name
abstract cloud
what r the results in ur name
tons of rejections fr 😢 Purdue ASU, USC(Basically a reject they defer everyone), UIUC, Cornell, and UT austin
i applied RD to uiuc and austin
kinda dumb for that but i didnt knwo what a priority deadline was
only prioritied to like purdue
coz sm1 told me to
it woudlve been a 4R
abstract cloud
im still finding it funy that ppl are debating purdue vs umd tho
like for undergrad it aint that deep
abstract cloud
usc isnt a reject btw
either way i woudlnt consider over purdue
abstract cloud
i mean dude for CS purdue is better but usc is like 90k per year. my parents down to pay for whatever, but i always want to be conservative with my cost choices
abstract cloud
id take usc over like willaims or rice tbh
rice isnt that good at cs is it?
abstract cloud
when it coems to cs programs i look at usnews, csrankings, academic placement, and best paper awards
abstract cloud
ik these are mainly grad school stuff
clever moon
and id def take usc cs over purdue tbh
abstract cloud
but im like super interested in CS research
so research opportunities
idc about overall taht much
for me the only benefit of usc is that its close to home
but their cs program isnt good enough to pay 90 k a year
thas js my opinion tho
more expensive than MIT
abstract cloud
tuition isnt an issue but
i want to save as much as possible
i want to go all the way to PhD and Postdoc
clever moon
mm
abstract cloud
its not like 50k difference is spare change
clever moon
yeah ig
abstract cloud
i dont even know if id take umich over purdue(decision sint back yet)
coz its 75k oos
purdue has a strong engineering program too so u can do good resaerch programs with them
clever moon
i think id take like most of my remainign decisions over purdue and uiuc
abstract cloud
i think id take like most of my remainign decisions over purdue and uiuc
id go for uiuc
clever moon
ppl glaze those two schools but ion like em
abstract cloud
but im just a straight CS ranking goober
idec about campus
it can be in antarctica
clever moon
im more of a prestiage and environment person mor than cs ranking
abstract cloud
im more of a prestiage and environment person mor than cs ranking
hmm
well then u'd care more about national ranking than cs ranking right
clever moon
yes except kinda on my own scale cuz i dislike the national ranking thing
like i have berkeley at like 8 and stuff
abstract cloud
idc about national ranking that much bc theres so many cs schools like GT and UIUC that aren't good for other stuff
abstract cloud
like i have berkeley at like 8 and stuff
ru tryna get into any finance related job
or economy or whatever
clever moon
im gonnab e studying cs and ecnomics
abstract cloud
Ok then yea id probably not go to purdue
purdue is a one trick school
uiuc cs is amazing tho id choose uiuc over purdue
clever moon
yeah ofc
clever moon
ye
abstract cloud
ppl go to schools for different reasons, so (looking at the guys debating above), theres no objective "school X better than school Y"(for the most part)
heck id argue a community college offers some advantages
@clever moon wait woudl u choose dartmouth over uiuc + purdue
abstract cloud
ya that makes sense
abstract cloud
not close for me either
ik some kid whos doing cs + econ and he didnt rlly apply to the engineering/cs schools more the overall schools
he got into USC for history
abstract cloud
gives u freedom to dabble
for any finance or business or whatever(idk much about the differences 😭 ) aren't like companies prestige chasers
abstract cloud
HUh
clever moon
even tho stern is def more prestigious
abstract cloud
really?!?!?!
abstract cloud
i see
i mean NYU stern is like the best of the best for business but its all about fit after all
@clever moon wait is nyu stern like t5 for that field
abstract cloud
school vibes r immaculate
but dude how do u figure out vibes without visiting
ru gonna visit all the schools u get into
for me "vibe" is like the overall STEM prescence
ik this sounds so goofy but like
thas another reason i like Purdue coz of their engineering reputation even tho CS isnt even part of engineering
clever moon
but dude how do u figure out vibes without visiting
i actually did visit both of em
and also u can kinda tell when ur applying
when u do ur research u kinad get a feel for mission statement
abstract cloud
if i was tryna do cs + econ id love yale coz their campus is amazing

hey guys
should I take Purdue Indy over VT?
or Rutger, Psu
im international
cs major
I mean Purdue Indy is fresh new, kinda risky thou
dusky lynx
well a degree from purdue indy is a degree from purdue, holds some name to it
also the campus is in a more "popular" location
languid nimbus
yes but Im concerning bout their programs
i heard s1 said that Purdue started hiring new profs for the new campus

Gimme a Purdue :[

Did anyone get accepted with major in agriculture? I am curious about the stats since my second major is agri with my first in engineering. (I am a pretty average international applicant)

you migjt be able to find some old statistics on acceptance stats by college on purdues website

hey guys
should I take Purdue Indy over VT?
i wouldnt, id go for a more established school over what is essentially a branch campus

can i still be admitted if i dont get into my first two choice majors

what would you guys say is the acceptance rate for out of state engineering?

im ngl no offense to anyoen but debating because someone wants to choose umd ove...
Im personally choosing umd rn
Better climate and location and guaranteed good dorms bc of honors

Im personally choosing umd rn
Yh, umd has many ways it’s better
My statement was that it’s funny ppl debated about it

Debating someone over their school choice is stupid
