Ws
uhh no they’re id put them on a similar level with umd winning slightly due to location
there’s 3 billerts
out of what I have left cmu and Cornell
oh out of what I got into
yea
nah I messed up essays
abt 50k for 4 yrs
zamn
so umd is a bit more expensive than Purdue for me rn
and with my instate schools about to hit 30k I’m considering oos more and more
Dude
Admissions is just
Rolling the dice
I got UMD with underground research and Purdue defered me
Makes -1 sense 😢
there was a wave of decisions for deferred people on friday
deferred and RD*
dude u literally selected certain aspects coz ASU isnt 4th overall. Also, ASU's grad school has a lot of strong faculty so their cs is crazy, and they have professors with h-indexes of 90+
I do know instate went up a bit to 27ish
they got 7 callers on queue and the wait time is 60 fucking minutes
Lmao
yea austin sucks anyways
it was like 75 and 169 minutes a few hours ago
she lifted the call but my music was playing too loud so I couldnt hear her
💀
now its closed
i got scammed
yea austin sucks anyways
purdue's infinitely better 👍
idk why but your profile is annoyin me a bit lol
fr bro
no pic no name
😔
when is purdue out again
Every Friday
every friday
they’re just saving my rejection for later
~~ the mods dont like it dont bring their attention to it~~
I don’t like college apps
me too, kid
I know people outright rejected from umd cs but accepted Purdue west Lafayette cs
beat his ass
And meanwhile I’m here deferred from Purdue w a umd scholarship ☠️
why are there so many bill/billerts?
npcs
Hi
2 of them are mods what
cuz they say they cant ping me, but u can just ping green_berets
that looks messed up lmao
Are you using those ghost characters
i forgot what they were
I used to have a similar name
My discord name is literally called blank because I had that name before
lmao
nah use the zero-width whitespace, it cant even be copied lmao
the mods ended up changing my name in servers cause they couldn’t ping me
😔
just ping green_berets
Ye
They are sorting by AI
ASU is definitely t10 for AI research
They just have very high research activity and their grad school is much more prestigious than there undergrad
Huan liu h index like 130
Yea ppl on a2c wouldn’t understand that
A2C confuses selectivity with quality
There are ASU alum in basically every job in the world
Not saying it is the highest quality education in the world by any means, but they have a very good grad school and high research activity
and there is definitely nothing wrong with attending ASU
Well yea but this is grad school research
So the comment above was js ignorant regarding the ranking
Teaching is better at private unis
Yes, but who do you think teaches the undergrads?
Possibly
Ya ya ik inwasnt disgreeeing
Although I heard unis that focus more on research have worse teaching
That definitely can be true, but isn't always
Plenty of R1 unis in the t50

hm
Doesn’t UMD have an insanely high crime rate relative to the other public universities
This must exclude small LACs or something
wait are you going to purdue
No
I'm going to either Duke or GT still waiting for more decisions though
I got a likely for Duke, but I'm holding out hope for MIT, CMU or HMC
Yeah
i dont think harvey mudd has civil engineering though..?
or any specific engineering
afaik
Or specialize through an individual course of study
I got rejected from Olin it was my top choice
Possibly I don't know if we've talked before
i applied to hmc too
hmc is pretty cool
BRO I LOVE HARVEY MUDD (please reconsider my ed1)
dude ed was a bloodbath
if someone here gets accepted can u guys donate me ur acceptance
two of my friends got rejected and they had PERFECT STATS like ??
yea i got rejected too
good luck w ur other schools tho!!
gl w/ urs too :D
where r u hoping to go now?
any UC thats not sc, riverside, or merced
and ill be more than happy
i did crapshoot a bit but not rly expecting anything
hbu
mm i live in cali but i'm pretty sure im cooked for ucs
i started like a few of my good ecs after the deadline
my gpa barellyyyy fits my schools ave admitted gpa for merced
my uc gpa is a fucking 3.4 LOL
SAME HONESTLY
dam ur school is brutal
dude idrk what happened
i've gotten into purdue eng and rpi eng so i'm not doing that bad
but idrk abt ucs atp...
uh what
yea i got purdue as a worst case too
what’s ur normal weighted
yeah....
weighted is a 3.8
i didn't really try sophomore year but i got straight As junior year
in that case it’s pretty in line
my gpa is also abt .3 lower at uc
I remember I accidentally miscalculated my uc gpa once and everyone lost their mind
do you play hypixel skyblock
skyblock was my fucking downfall sophmore year actually
i got like 1k hours that year
ur in skyblockz
ah
same lmao
mainly freshman year tho
have you played recently
I was on that all day
lmao idk anymore
HMC doesn't care
everyone has perfect stats (who applys)
they admit differently
a lot more based on personality
yea they want literally everything
stats and ecs and personality and stuff
so opaque
nice pfp btw
idk I think they almost entirely care about personality and ECs
just most of the good fit people also have perfect stats
being female will triple your acceptance rate though
guess I'm wrong about the personality part according to the CDS
but I really don't believe the CDS in this case
What major are you
why is oakland university on that list 💀
oh nvm it's not oakland, ca 😭
is this for purdue i thought they took demonstrated interest or somethign right?
I got rejected lmao
Even tho unc wasnt ranked very high for CS, I vibed the most with it
even i got the SPIRE invite, UMD just didn't admit me into CS, they admitted me into L&S
and its very difficult to get into CS
so there's no point in me going there
plus Purdue admitted me into the Honors college, that's gonna sort out the research thing for me im hoping
damn
they gave me cs
purdue straight up defered
il choose purdue over umd because of the costs, if i get in.
they arent lying when they say its like a lottery
i got deferred from northeastern
i was so confident id get into there
the weirdest part is, the unis i spent a lot of time writing for deferred or rejected me
but the unis i wrote last day essays for let me in
I wrote my purdue honors college essays and Wisconsin essay on november 1st
i wrote one of my toronto essays at 11:00PM with the deadline at midnight
got into all 3
SAME
i spent so much time on purdue
wrote umd last minute
legit
because i wrote my DSF last minute
my mid year report isnt the best
so its basically delusion telling me i have a chance
same and i got into berkeley💀
same
i wrote both my purdue essays in under 1h 30m
frauded my way into fye
Does purdue only release results once a week?
thanks!
Damn ur goated 🔥
Were u deferred
Heyy
Wow!
you cant be deferred rd
mine still says decided but it still shows my deferred letter
praying that i get accepted
its over bro
i've got engineering 2028 and regular purude if you want that
dm me engineering 2028 please
can u send reg
just put it here na?
Could i get reg?
gonna have to dm yall to send wait a sec
i can only invite people
nvm send it to yall
Mining away
cooked
wait
what’s going on
I thought it was every Friday
did something change
no
oh
I got scared cause everyone was talking about Purdue in general chat
bruh moment
itst over
@scenic vigil u got in bro?
No
Is it like every Friday
ye
rolling
middue
no purdue slander here
or pete runs the boilermaker special over you
ok random question
even though purdue strong recs SAT scores
how influential do yall think they are
this girl from my school with a 1590 got deferred
but i got in with 1550
they're def holistic
imo anything above 1550+ is the same
same as how 1500-1550 is pretty much the same
yeah ur gonna get rejected
no way u went test optional w a 1500 what the heck
OH
well
idk, i heard somewhere that like everyone that gets in submits a test score
anyone else deferred here
for cs
I submitted my sat score but I was a bit hesitant lol
my math score was a 750 but my english score was wack
Yoooo did yall get your decisions?
I got mine
yeah I just got mine but some of my friends haven't
zamn
accepted btw 🥳 woohoo
congrats man
congrats brother
Im so happy
I thought submitting my 900 SAT might get me a rejection
but looks like 900 is a pretty competitive score for CS
i got in too
with a 25 act
idt purdue care that much about standardized test scores
brother what
fr?
arent they test very much recommended ?
Yeah I heard about that too
so i submitted my score
maybe it was my essay that carried
yeah but i got in
i have some other friend who got in w test scores
insane
excuse moi what wow brother must have insane ECs
sameee i wrote mine about discord calls with my friends
that sounds very unique
unfortunately many of my classmates copied my essay idea :(
must have robotic classmates
ia purdue really that great
begone 900 scorer
can we ban that guy LOL
nooooo
heard it's pretty good
no
i got in ea
hes a chad
better than iu
but i am not that great of a student

my reaction to that information
no.
damn
i want to party and drink and dance

purdue's not for you then
in purdue
do they have cool dancers
thats all im looking for in a college
go to Dallas
bros on that ASU grind
apparently dallas is full of indian dudes
come to mexico
ive heard all the dancers are in caltech
prestige is overrated imo
i will personally make sure u have nice parties
wall jumping is a good excersise
same i heard cause of LA
frfr the physics goes hard
wait did people get in today?
fr
ASU does stuff better than stanford
yeah some people got their admissions today it seems
fr ASU is number one in innovation
no 1 in innovation
it says so in their emails
few decisions came today
i am thinking between two options
yessir
which is better purdue or uiuc
are people in purdue happy and social or are they cs nerds
holy brother u got UIUC engineering aswell?
ive spent a lot of time on the reddit
its not a party school
its a tough school
yeah in regular
but ofc theres people having fun
but how bad are the parties?
are they like
yeah good enough
i got lucky
or are they just shit
insane lucky
god blessed you
u must have had rly good Essays
i wrote shit essays
what did u write about
oh
what was ur topic
i wrote about tacos for my commonapp
couldn't have been worse than mine
turned out to bbe disaster
nvm
nah but fr, sometimes shit essays work
i wrote about my mom forcibly giving me homeopathy pills and how i proved to her that theyre sugar pills
i wrote about how i text girls using an algorithm and logic and how i use those same formulas at hackathons
I think my eating oreo essays were prolly better
in one of my vtech essays
and in another i wrote about how i wanted to diversify my rommates' diets from noodles to authentic butter chicken and naan
i wrote about legos
close to my oreo one
damnn
im still sad my common app essay didnt carry me
like who begins their essay with
"I have eight grandmothers"
where else did you apply
and how each piece represents a philosphical parts of my personality
what did you talk about in your yale essays
yeah smth like that
hey you got in at the end of the day
or do I not know math
ssshhh its a secret
so i know math
ea- caltech, northwestern and texas a and m
and purdue
all rejected except purdue
did u get any of them
i wrote about how theyre all teachers, which made me realise how much i liked to learn and then i went on
ah
i talked about the political and economic state of the world

im not even lying
thats insightful
that is an objective truth
talked abt my camp counselor job

you have a wikipedia article after your community
what do you add into ur tacos
bro we have 3 indian mexicans here
The Punjabi Mexican American community, the majority of which is localized to Yuba City, California, is a distinctive ethnicity holding its roots in a migration pattern that occurred almost a century ago. The first meeting of these cultures occurred in the Imperial and Central Valleys in 1907, near the largest irrigation system in the Western He...
this guys prolly an imposter
what are the chances

im very proud of it
wait I thought those guys with caps were punjabis
thats all that matters
They're sikhs

um mate
come to Queensland
thanks for enlightening me on the path of a greater spirutual level
ull know what actual murder is
what major did you apply to?
he got rejected tho
yeah I know
ask the accepted guy @carmine notch
did you rd purdue as well?
hes a basedshrimp
did u get in?
no ea
Finance
I got deferred
ohh same
o
i got accepted
did u get in yet
nada
still waiting
ah, heard anything from them?
nice! what’d you apply to?
cs
oh shit damn
stacked
yeah I got deferred from cs too
hope u get in
oh best of luck mate
Lemme in
well keep praying
good luck man, fingers crossed!
linsanity was insane
was?
do yall know if you can get into honors collleges (in general) when youre accepted as a normal undergraduate at first
what are u implying brother
doesnt have to be just purdue
youre such a nice guy always supported everyone and giving confidence
nope
hes my idol
ive seen on some other megathread
I aspire to spread positivity!!! :))
nooooo
The college would metion it in the letter
at least here, you need to wait till soph year to join the honors college if you weren't accepted when in hs
yay
if u get in to honors college
o
That's fine
yeah but all the benefits of honors college are concentrated in freshman year so you lose out on most of it
they ain't hasty mate
a guy died in purdue
is purdue really safe
what are they ?
whats the difference between honors and regular?
^^^
do u get a better housing?
yea heard a lot of ppl got shot is that true
is the course more challenging???
best dorms on campus, living with other honors college students. those are pretty much it
lot as in 4-5 but yea
is purdue next to a beach?
i love the ocean sea sand and girls
oh
same man
good to know
haven't heard of a single injury because of shooting
yeah you can
these guys on reddit rly gotta stop then
im sorry if i offended you im just being honest and curious
same
i like beaches
and party life
u just gotta apply early
What do yall think between purdue and UW madison for CS?
uw Madison right
purdue is better imo cuz of cost
or no wait wrong uw
yep, doesn't purdue usually overenroll?
yeah Purdue is really cheap compared to other OOS schools
uw madison is the good one right
udub is the rlly good one
yeah
madison is still pretty good
ah
isn't udub uwash seattle?
Madison is pretty cool honestly
yes
no yeah but people who appeal are kinda screwed
wdym appeal?
like if you want to appeal your rejection
it takes another 2 weeks to review and by then the priority housing deadline has passed
you can do that?
yeah i think most if not all schools have a system like that
yea apparently
UIUC had it
does it cost more?
i know uiuc has it
nope to appeal its free
i didn't do that for any of my rejections
what are the chances of it getting appealed
ah, should've appealed then
honestly depends what you write
is it like a LOCI?
if you had something that prevented you from being better, it might work out
wait is there a deadline for appeals cuz I want to appeal my UIUC decision now
no go for it
ah thanks mate
if you go in your portal there should be a new forms tab with "appeals" in it
oh
idt UT Austin had that
isnt it very unlikely of the appeal actually working out?
unless you have some new good tests scores or some serious reason?
its just another chance of you to write missing information you didn't include in your actual prompt like preventing circumstances and whatnot
ah i see
some schools like UIUC have a policy to not include new information like test scores or senior year grades
yeah, they said that when I got deferred
yeah appeals don't really work out if you don't have anything new to add
but its worth trying tbh
who knows
@opaque spear what did you apply for?
no
cs
it’s the capital of wisconsin so yea
im kinda cooked
purdue is less urban i’d say
few of my ec's started after the application was submitted so I couldn't put it in the Idt I'm allowed to mention those right?
the only reason why I have some sort of chance is because people who apply to purdue (in my opinion) apply to bigger schools like uiuc and ive seen some get in both
is it bigger than milwaukee?
so im just hoping they pick the other school lol
id check with the specific school
did you get waitlisted?
some say its allowed, some say not to
at purdue? no I got defered
I declined my purdue offer, hope it helps
ic I'll mail them I suppose
ah
Any acceptances so far?
yeah i got asu, rpi, rutgers, njit, cu boulder, and iu bloomington
i’ve never been to milwaukee unfortunately
but milwaukee is prolly bigger
im trying not to stay in state soo
ohh nice
are you from nj?
milwaukee is bigger than madison interms of pop but similar
yeah
i see
im still waiting on purdue, northeastern, umass, uwash, and penn state
ive heard uwash is incredibly difficult for OOS
but for most cs applicants its a dream
iu bloomington is good for finance right
yeah i gave up on that LOL
2% oos acceptance rate
nahh anything can happen with these unis, you never know
the decision process feels so random
yeah
oh kinda like ut austin then ig
u gotta cling to the hope mate
did you ED anywhere?
nope
i think thats kelly
a friend of mine did the same thing ended up with a lot of time to make up his mind with the housing stuff
yep, kelly's great for business and finance
T15 if I'm not mistaken mate
wow
oh yeah kelly's like amazing
Did all Kelly decisions come out
i think its rolling too not sure
did few decisions come out or what
WHAT THE FK
same I got 880 and got accepted
are you guys instate or OOS?
oos
fr
What major?
mechanical engineering
still crazy for mech eng
I dont think SAT matters anymore
true
Damn nice
thanks man🫡
nah just SAT dont matter anymore ig
Are you an athelete or something?
no
💀
SAT will matter later for some schools bc they’re reinstating them
I think SATs r dumb still
I went test optional for every school I could lol
Purdue was one of the ones I had to send my score to tho
i sent a 31 act math score to purdue and got accepted
im cooked
I don’t know what would hurt more, sending my 1200 SAT score to Purdue or stay test optional?
This paradox hurts my brain
unless you’re in state
1200 is almost auto reject for the competitive majors
neither cases are good but one is less desirable than the other
So test optional then?
me sitting here w a 1540 deferred 
NASA internship
Will that make up for it?
Though it’s only for like one summer
chances of an appeal being successful are pretty much 0 anyways
he/she is trolling dw
Yeah but it’s not far off from the Apple falling from the tree
I’ve seen it happen with 1500s
good lol
what happen?
hm
I feel like it’s possible if I got deferred w a 1540
But then again
college apps are weird
Actually I take that back it’s possible
oh yeah my friend got straight up rejected for meche with a 1520
my friend got accepted with a 1360...
Me applying to mechE with 1510: :)
So moral of the story: be careful what major you choose
it could’ve been because of ec’s and essay so keep your head up!
do yall think it's fine to submit in a continued interest letter for purdue at this time
asking for a friend
only and only if you have something that could truly tip the table
if its like "oh I volunteered another 10 hours and my mental health is better", No.
if its like "oh I made my own club with 500 people and raised several grand for charity alongside radically improving my grades", Yes.
possibly yeah
it won’t hurt
no it doesn't purdue has a lot ML opportunities check Vertically Integrated Projects etc
not anymore rip
like 3 years ago use UMD > Purdue but in 2024 not anymore Purdue is almost the same as UMD if not even better
the only problem with Purdue is that they don't put AI/ML the CS department they have it in engineering departments for some reason
people should rebel and change that lmao
cuz all the CS majors ik litearlly just operate the engineering labs lmao
i mean to be fair, theres factors to purdue to consider more than jobs
if i wanted a killer tech job id just go to sjsu
but like research, connections, professors, college/sports life etc, purdue and umd are top notch
how good is purdue for business?
pretty good altho im p sure IU is better
