Purdue University (2023-2024)

[opaque spear]

recruiters don't really care tbf

like

as long as its in the "realm" of cs and you can make it past the technical rounds

you'll be fine

[deft cargo]

but like the AI degree wont get u as many swe jobs as a cs degree wud

thats why im considering sjsu over purdue

[opaque spear]

my friend majored in industrial engineering with a minor in cs and works at aws now

im sure a major in AI (which is basically CS) will still get you the same offers/jobs

[opaque spear]

but yeah if you want cs

theres no reason to sacrifice the worry about a diff degree just for names sake

just go to SJSU and transfer 💀

[deft cargo]

my dad has dragged me to talk with cs ppl, and they basically say ai is good but cs is better
sjsu is also in the bay and is a feeder to startups or faang

[opaque spear]

yeah then do sjsu

[deft cargo]

but if i get purdue cs then i may consider purdue

[opaque spear]

do you like AI stuff

thats the big question

[deft cargo]

yea

quite a bit act

[opaque spear]

AI isn't the worst place honestly

cause like every random ass company has some sort of AI implemented already

like canva, grammarly, office, etc

[deft cargo]

im also scared its a field that is in a phase like crypto or smth

and itll just die

[opaque spear]

no its blown up too far

for it to die so quickly

[deft cargo]

but ive heard purdue cs is incredibly difficult, and i dont want another 4 years of a very competetive school after just finishing 4 years at one, so is it rly difficult

[opaque spear]

like openai set the trend

[opaque spear]

yeah i heard the math classes are hard af

[deft cargo]

dam

ughh

is sjsu difficult have u heard abt that

[sour ferry]

i feel like youve asked this question a million times LOL

[deft cargo]

cuz no one has answered 😔

[sour ferry]

u shld go to sjsu

[deft cargo]

yey :D

[undone geode]

I heard sjsu’s tuition oos is like 20k is that really true?

[native tartan]

HOW DID I NOT KNOW

SJSU’s like really good for big tech as well

lots of grads who go into faang/manga

[short sand]

i’m in the same spot (but in state) but am going to goto purdue. sjsu buildings are sad asf 💀. i went to a lecture there n the place was packed + no social scene

plus i’m not commuting like an hour

[deft cargo]

wait rly?

oh no

what major for both

[serene shard]

What’s the time of da day where it comes out

[wet barn]

no

cs is in college of science

[deft cargo]

yea

[deft cargo]

are the cs classes at purdue as difficult as ive heard, or not rly

[wet barn]

math is probably the easiest part of a cs degree here lmao

[wet barn]

they're a lot of work for sure. seems slightly harder than other similar schools but still doable

[deft cargo]

and is the ai major equally difficult

[wet barn]

not really

they aren't required to take any of the systems programming/hardware classes that cs majors do

just slightly less difficult if i had to guess

[deft cargo]

tysm :D

[deft cargo]

sry about the questions, im having a hard time deciding on purdue or sjsu
did u go to a competitive hs or was it more "relaxed"

[wet barn]

it wasn't competitive but academics were still pretty hard

i took a gap year before uni though so it was pretty much a fresh start in terms of building academic habits and stuff

[deft cargo]

ohh

overall r u liking it at purdue, and are people collaborativve and not competitive, or is it cutthroat

[wet barn]

i'm loving everything. idt i've had a single experience that could be called cutthroat here

[deft cargo]

thanks so much, sry abt bothering u with so many qs lmao

[short sand]

cs

i hear purdue has a very collaborative environment

sjsu is cheaper but that’s about it

and indiana is cold

[abstract cloud]

no, CS is still more competitve than both of them, although prob not much more than data science

[abstract cloud]

how is the CS program in compariosn to the CE program at Purdue? This one guy on this server seemed to hint its a lot worse

[sterile yacht]

I mean its ranked on par with JHU and Penn, how bad can it be

[foggy jay]

are decisions coming this friday?

[velvet hare]

Hopefully they release all this friday

[foggy jay]

yeah the rd ones might come are you rd?

[velvet hare]

Got deferred EA for cs

[foggy jay]

damn

did you apply to georgia tech?

[velvet hare]

Yes

[foggy jay]

its also coming out this friday

[velvet hare]

Yes, Purdue, CMU, GaTech all friday

[foggy jay]

cool

[velvet hare]

Does anyone know if Purdue will release all decisions on Friday? Or whether there will be decisions next week too

[foggy jay]

uncertain abt it

i hope

[summer umbra]

they’ll do waves till 31st

[wet barn]

can't really compare them

the ce program is relatively better because it's like top5 in the world

but the cs program is great too and still t20

ce here is very hardware focused whereas cs has just 1 hardware class

compe here is an actual engineering degree, not just a glorified version of cs

[mossy kindle]

purdue baby pls ill do anything to have a decision this friday

[magic briar]

what we doing if there's no decision

collectively pull up to the WL campus

pitchforks

[mossy kindle]

20000 ppl storming campus

[magic briar]

sounds ab right

[upbeat oyster]

What about EE? How does it compare to CE at purdue

[mossy kindle]

Idk

[twin grotto]

hows the applied math program to purdue in comparison to other top programs

[sour ferry]

idk but lmk if u find out

[twin grotto]

aight

[wet barn]

also a top-tier program

very math-y though

[idle kettle]

does anyone know if there are a admitted students discord?

[keen patrol]

I would love one

[abstract cloud]

whaat are the hards parts of CS at purdue

would u recommend the cs bridgething

[neat field]

Is anyone still “complete?”

[frozen dune]

me

i'm rd

[summer umbra]

still decided from deferred

its over

[neat field]

Are rejections really last?…

Yep it’s over.

[summer lagoon]

still deferred

it’s joever 😭

[dapper sorrel]

same, still deferred

guess it's time to give up on purdue hopium now

[foggy jay]

Screw purdue

[upbeat oyster]

Why all the MechE dudes be getting their decisions first 💀

EE discrimination

[velvet hare]

Does anyone else have an 'accept your offer' option on the top right of the portal?

[foggy jay]

yeah

[spark wind]

How? You guys didn’t get accepted yet though

[velvet hare]

Thats why I am confused

I would send a pic but it doesnt let me for some reason

[hasty edge]

when I got my EA decision I thought that option meant I got in so I thought I ruined it for myself

[velvet hare]

did u get in?

[undone geode]

Like bro, make it quick so I can choose housing for other universities 😭

[grizzled horizon]

rd?

[upbeat oyster]

Yup

[grizzled horizon]

i didnt get shit💀

[upbeat oyster]

I know a few other MechEs who still dont have decisions yet

Dont worry

Its kinda random

But I have not heard any EE or CS decisions for RD

[opaque spear]

are we even sure that it changes

im pretty sure it doesn't

or am i tripping

[summer umbra]

there were a few

[upbeat oyster]

Oos/intl?

[summer umbra]

idk i just saw some ppl here post their acceptances

for cs

[magic briar]

were there any for CE

?

[magic briar]

does it change tho for rd? idt it does afaik

[magic briar]

it changes for deferred peeps

[upbeat oyster]

EE? 🤔

[summer umbra]

idk ab that

but ik ppl got in for cs rd

[urban jay]

im cooked and served on a hot plate...

no more purdur

[hasty edge]

yes, would've been an extremely shit moment if I didn't

[viral reef]

r decisions still coming out

or is it over already

[magic briar]

tmrw and next friday

then its over

[viral reef]

a ok

gl guys!!

[magic briar]

gl to you too!

[viral reef]

i already got in during EA

[magic briar]

well

you dont need good luck just for university admissions erm

general good luck 🍀

[viral reef]

🥺

thanks

[stone lotus]

did it drop

[undone geode]

Its thursday bro

We gon see tm

[muted socket]

Does purdue look at quarter grades💀

I got like a 2.5uw rn im not tryna get rescinded

[civic spire]

bro neel wat happened

i dont think so tbh

[muted socket]

Senoritis is real

Also i got some teachers that are bad at updating grades

[mild nova]

Wtf what did u apply with

How the hell do u fall so low

U dont have senioritis you got high schoolitis

[muted socket]

I had a 3.87 uw overall when i applied

2.5 is this quartet specifically

[fair agate]

Same bro😭😭😭

[magic briar]

[bright urchin]

depends on if quarter grades appear on ur transcript

[muted socket]

They dont

[bright urchin]

then no

[sturdy iris]

Anyone get in for deferred aerospace

Or even rd

[tired leaf]

this is the most active thread don't know why

[boreal linden]

I got in for deferred mechanical

[spark wind]

Unfortunately that award actually goes to the NYU thread 💀💀

But I am happy to see this thread is also active

[woven zodiac]

we’re good school

[spark wind]

No it’s just that the thread this year is bonkers 🙂🙏

[woven zodiac]

mix a both i like to think…

[sour ferry]

purdue is like a top stem school, idk what hes on 😭😭

[woven zodiac]

no i meant that i like to think nyu is a good school lol

i think nyu is p chill…

[boreal shard]

did any deferred ppl change status

[inner comet]

Nope

[unique mesa]

cs is i engineering

https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/Academics/Schools

idk why u would want to change lmao

[undone geode]

CS is in science not eng

[deft cargo]

cs is in school of sci

yea

[viral reef]

cs is in science

[unique mesa]

aero cracked

now its not

[cinder scroll]

It is

[deft cargo]

nah

[unique mesa]

uh no lol

[cinder scroll]

It's also affiliated with college of engineering now

[unique mesa]

thats the old catalog

[deft cargo]

https://www.admissions.purdue.edu/majors/a-to-z/computer-science.php

[cinder scroll]

Nah

[deft cargo]

literally their majors page

[cinder scroll]

It's affiliated with college of engineering

[unique mesa]

yea

ok

[deft cargo]

cs major site

https://www.cs.purdue.edu/undergraduate/curriculum/bachelor.html

[unique mesa]

its changed

[undone geode]

oh fr?

[unique mesa]

i mean

look at the website lol

[deft cargo]

maybe their grad program is in eng?

bottom most major

[unique mesa]

thats not updated tho

thats last years catalog

not 2024-25

[deft cargo]

can u send source

[cinder scroll]

I'm not able to send links

[unique mesa]

wut does that mea

*mean

like fr it is related right

[cinder scroll]

Check it out

[unique mesa]

i can take engineering classes right

[cinder scroll]

Not quite sure

[pine gale]

hmmm sooo close!!!

[unique mesa]

thats old tho

im talking 2024

[pine gale]

bro they have not released those catelogs

[cinder scroll]

It hasn't changed for 2024

[pine gale]

yeah 😭

[cinder scroll]

It will not*

[neat field]

Is Purdue coming out tomorrow? 💀

I heard nothing

[pine gale]

probably

@neat field wait

[cinder scroll]

https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2023/Q2/computer-science-synergies-across-science-and-engineering-purdue-invests-in-computing-to-meet-student-need.html

[pine gale]

what nasa internship do u have

svp or ostem

[neat field]

Are you talking to me?

[pine gale]

yes

i am

[neat field]

I applied through nasastemgateaway

[pine gale]

are you svp/ostem/spaceapps

[unique mesa]

look at this tho

this random guy

on linkedin

[pine gale]

so ostem?

[pine gale]

bro

look at

[neat field]

I would assume

[pine gale]

the

catelog

[pine gale]

cool! what center are you with?

[unique mesa]

lol

[cinder scroll]

So you're gonna trust a random guy on linkedin

[unique mesa]

maybe

lmao

[neat field]

The one near FloridaTech: Kennedy Space Center

[pine gale]

https://admissions.purdue.edu/majors/a-to-z/computer-science.php

[pine gale]

nice! im with ARC

[unique mesa]

oh ok ig

whats the deal with engineering then

kinda confused then

[pine gale]

who knows

[neat field]

Ayo Minecraft is popular

I wrote an essay on it too

[unique mesa]

like just keep it in one or the other not in between lol

might confused ppl up when applying

cuz i think Purdue University in Indianapolis

has it housed in Engineering

or at least it was

when it was IUPUI

[cinder scroll]

Not anymore

[cinder scroll]

Now it is housed under college of science

[deft cargo]

oh my i believe linkedin

https://tenor.com/view/omw-to-spread-misinformation-all-over-the-internet-gif-26525511

[neat field]

Purdue rejections are last confirmed

It’s over for us

[unique mesa]

is that for the better or worse 😦

[deft cargo]

rly?

aw

do u have sauce

[simple isle]

I applied for aerospace ea and got deferred, haven’t heard anything, it’s over isn’t it

[stone lotus]

did it drop

[stone lotus]

yep

[sturdy iris]

Same boat

It’s ok I’ll cope by putting purdue to lose in the second round in my march madness bracket

[visual igloo]

i did rhe same for illinois i was so biased making my bracket 😭

if they rejected me they aint getting out the first round

[stone lotus]

💀

[sturdy iris]

My bracket is definitely biased to colleges that accepted me to those who didn’t

Rn I got Iowa state winning the szn

[pine rain]

Yeah I got in

[sturdy iris]

Hype

[wet barn]

wouldnt bet on them reaching second round tbh 💀

[mint burrow]

yup got in .

[neat field]

Did Purdue come out yet?

[upbeat oyster]

Anyone says decided?

[livid fiber]

yeah, ea

[sand comet]

mine still says decided

[upbeat oyster]

Does it change to decided only after they give a decision?

[magic briar]

yes^

Im gonna be so devastated if i dont get a decision today man

[upbeat oyster]

So decisions should come out within 24 hours?

[frozen dune]

yup for some

[magic briar]

allegedly....

[upbeat oyster]

Or else its gonna be on ivy day then

:/

[worldly sigil]

when does purdue come out

[hard horizon]

today or next friday

[velvet hare]

I got deferred EA, and my status still says decided

Is it supposed to say that, or completed

[sterile yacht]

Ive got all my mails as a CS major from the college of science

not the college of engineering

[jade crag]

how long did it take to get acceptance packages

i just want my stickers man 🗿

[dusky lynx]

mine says decided still as well. Last week thr people who got a decisions had theirs change to complete. So i’m not sure

[frank hedge]

people's are changing apparently

[velvet hare]

no way they make us wait one more week right

[livid fiber]

man 😭

[summer umbra]

dude i’m still fucking decided

[livid fiber]

had to submit nov 1st just to wait till april

[summer umbra]

i’m pretty much just taking the rejection

[livid fiber]

i think they just over-admitted this fall

[summer umbra]

it’s so over

[livid fiber]

it's not over till its over

[frozen dune]

it's like 90% over

[velvet hare]

me too

[native tartan]

it’s joever i also have decided

[velvet hare]

Does that 100% mean no decisions for us today?

[native tartan]

most probably

last time the people who got their decisions had complete

which means purdue is just delaying rejections

[undone geode]

DID ANYONE GET AN EMAIL

[thin kite]

uw mad or purdue main campus for cs

[next ridge]

purdue

[stone lotus]

purdue

uw mad has a really nice college life tho

compared to west lafayette

[visual igloo]

mine says complete but i dont have a view decision button is mine coming out td?

[simple isle]

mine still says decided ggs

[summer umbra]

bro just reject me i hate purdue so much

i made them exit in the second round in my bracket

i’m hating on them so hard

[next ridge]

means u got accepted

[visual igloo]

oh dang dyk why i can't see my decision yet

[mint burrow]

yeah u've got accepted 99%

[mint burrow]

it should show in the next 6 hours

was same for me last week

[visual igloo]

oh ok that's awesome

[stone lotus]

are you RD

or defer

if your RD i dont think it means anything

only for defers

[dusky lynx]

OK MINE CHANGED

from decided to complete

so damn, getting it today

[upbeat oyster]

You EE by chance?

[long breach]

mine changed today and I am EE

[dusky lynx]

well AE but engineering so yea

[upbeat oyster]

Dayum, Alright ill keep an eye out then.

No changes now tho 💀

[next ridge]

smh

still decided

[dusky lynx]

it's fine, there are acceptances every wave

like my friend got in las week from deferred for mech eng

so I mean there will be acceptanes today and next week

[magic briar]

Does anything change for rd

[simple isle]

Mine still says decided

[viral reef]

gl guys

[visual igloo]

i was deferred

[summer umbra]

so basically if urs still says decided it’s over

[visual igloo]

nah u still got next week

[neat field]

I GOT COMPLETE LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

[summer umbra]

it’s over

[upbeat oyster]

relax dawg

[neat field]

Wait is it supposed to say complete or submitted?

I’m so confused on what it should say

[upbeat oyster]

complete if ur deferred

decided if rd

[summer umbra]

it’s over it’s over it’s over

it’s over

it’s over

it’s over

[neat field]

Yep it’s over.

I didn’t get decided.

Bro I was so hyped

[upbeat oyster]

same here

next week it is my guy

[unique mesa]

no

u can still get in

btw whats the acceptance rate for CS?

[upbeat oyster]

Its not over. Merely the beginning

[unique mesa]

wdym

[neat field]

Bruh I’m actually going to withdraw Purdue

I hate them so much

[unique mesa]

don't withdraw

don't hate

they have a lot of applicants

u cant do anything

btw u should be hating on MIT

or UIUC

or GTech

[neat field]

But last wave = rejection right?

[unique mesa]

they don't accept no one

[neat field]

What is the point

[viral reef]

prolly around 20%

[upbeat oyster]

this guy gets it

[unique mesa]

no

ik ppl who get in

*got

last yr

during this time

so thats why

[upbeat oyster]

woah this guy REALLY get it. Mad props

[unique mesa]

it is a good possibility

[viral reef]

u cant even if u wanted to

they wont let u withdraw now

too late

[unique mesa]

i mean

like MIT

accepts no one

same as other tier public schools

[upbeat oyster]

Theyre not real

[unique mesa]

and private

purdue accepts a lot

i think

they overenrolled

ppl told me its easy

[viral reef]

public schl moment

[upbeat oyster]

yup. Lots of people still consider it a "safety"

and its still true ig

[unique mesa]

it is rihght

[languid nimbus]

a guy in my school got accepted MIT for RD

[viral reef]

ngl i considered jt a safety lmao

[languid nimbus]

2 gold ipho btw

[unique mesa]

yeah

[viral reef]

but probably isnt

[unique mesa]

so reach???

[upbeat oyster]

I know A level dudes with 2As and 1B got in MechE

[unique mesa]

theres no way purdue is a reach

[viral reef]

target

[unique mesa]

20%

is reach tho

anything below 25% is reach

i think?

[viral reef]

eh

[unique mesa]

idk

[viral reef]

idk

[unique mesa]

prolly low target

[viral reef]

different sources say diff thinfs

[neat field]

There’s no way I got rejected by Purdue what the heck?

[unique mesa]

target is 25-50%

purdue had a 50% acceptance rate last year

[viral reef]

2018 source said 26%

[neat field]

.

[viral reef]

probably includes instate

[unique mesa]

no

[undone geode]

Safety/target/reach is p relative

[unique mesa]

look

[undone geode]

To some extent

[unique mesa]

its b een hella competitive

[viral reef]

major specific

[unique mesa]

no like i saying overall

it is competitive tho

2021 they took so many lol

2022 they CUT BACK INSANE

[viral reef]

lol

[summer umbra]

i’m going to destroy west layfayette

[unique mesa]

destroy Indy

[civic spire]

is it out?

[unique mesa]

they're shipping everyone there

[summer umbra]

the whole state is getting it

[unique mesa]

Wisconsinitise

breh

[viral reef]

well i somehow got into fye and my profile isnt allat

u guys will be fine

[unique mesa]

what major??

[viral reef]

compe

[unique mesa]

breh

compe wac

[viral reef]

but they admit by school i think

[unique mesa]

why compe

its so hard

[viral reef]

becos

cs is cringe

[unique mesa]

i hate fourier analysis

no its not

[viral reef]

jk

i just felt compe is the way to go

[unique mesa]

did u apply CMU SCS?

or CMU ECE

[viral reef]

i originally applied cs

[livid fiber]

i'm still decided with A*'s and A 😭

[viral reef]

info systems

[civic spire]

do yk what time Purdue is coming out??

[viral reef]

waa going to*

[unique mesa]

wb GTech or UIUC

did u apply engineering there

[viral reef]

but ce seems more fail safe in the whole ai thing

[unique mesa]

no it doesn't

CS is fail safe

if u know what the output of Devin is given you can quickly do a lot of analysis

[viral reef]

got into compe for uiuc, deferred for ba from gtech lol

[visual igloo]

ME TOO I JS WANNA SEE THE CONFETTI PLS

[unique mesa]

but if u don't have the knowledge of coding

[civic spire]

wait same what does it mean

[unique mesa]

then you can't understand what GPT or Devin puts out

[civic spire]

wait is it coming today

omg im so confused

[unique mesa]

if its complete

u might have a chance

[viral reef]

i meant compe is more versatile

[neat field]

I was too hyped, apparently RD needs = decided, and EA needs = complete.

[visual igloo]

they did waves every frida

[unique mesa]

how so like in harddware though

[neat field]

I’m not getting mine today

[unique mesa]

and hardware jobs

don't pay much

[visual igloo]

do u think i could have compete and be rejected

[civic spire]

a chance to get accepted or get my decision 😭

[unique mesa]

decision

idk about accept tho

[livid fiber]

anyone cs here?

[unique mesa]

depends on

ur major

also

[civic spire]

bro im rd and I have complete 😭

[unique mesa]

like CS isn't going anywhere

u need to know

Prompt Engineering

[civic spire]

me

[unique mesa]

and need to wrok with teh tools rn in the market

[unique mesa]

whats ur mjaor

adaptability

is what CS teaches u

[upbeat oyster]

Living through college admission season is kinda wild. I have met a dude with 1200+ SATs and B for math get EE for UIUC. While another dude with 4A* and STEM ECs got denied outright.

[viral reef]

yeah but u always have the backup option, also its only like 10-20k less. i could still be swe for embedded systems

[civic spire]

cs and alt:Ai

[stone lotus]

complete

[unique mesa]

valid but like uh embedded systems fr

[stone lotus]

if ur deferred and u got complete

[unique mesa]

like the thing is

[civic spire]

so is it out at like 4 pm ct?

[unique mesa]

u gotta just be

[stone lotus]

most likely u got in

[unique mesa]

the top 10% of ur school

not matter where u go

[visual igloo]

pls be right

[unique mesa]

so if u go CMU

u gotta perform well

[livid fiber]

yeah it's kind of wild, i got a better acceptance than purdue but it's just that purdue is affordable and worth it

[unique mesa]

but if u go like UMD

[summer umbra]

did anyone get complete and is cs

[neat field]

If I’m RD must it be decided?

[unique mesa]

if ur top 10%

[stone lotus]

no

[viral reef]

thats kinda the case for cs too isnt it

[unique mesa]

then ull be successful

[stone lotus]

if ur RD it doesnt matter

[unique mesa]

yeah

[stone lotus]

if its completed or decided

[unique mesa]

im saying for any major

so if u are

then u'll do fine in CS

[civic spire]

my friend wasn’t at the top and she got into meta

[unique mesa]

but if u dont know the tools out there and dont' adapt

obviously ure gonna cry

[unique mesa]

where did she go

[viral reef]

lol

[stone lotus]

which college

[unique mesa]

might be some affiliation with the universit

[civic spire]

cmu

[unique mesa]

EXACTLy

fricking CMU

they take anyone

any big tech

[civic spire]

bro

what

[unique mesa]

Big tech

hires

from CMU

like CRAXY

[civic spire]

ok wait

[unique mesa]

its CMU

[civic spire]

my cousin went to sjsu

[unique mesa]

sjsu

[civic spire]

And got into micros

[unique mesa]

is a feeder

thats why

[stone lotus]

cmu is not at the top?

[civic spire]

yea but the thing I’m disproving is

u don’t need to be top 10

[stone lotus]

cmu is like top 2

cs

[unique mesa]

well im talking maojrity schools

CMU is in the Big 4

[magic briar]

Someone tell me I’m insane

[unique mesa]

[stone lotus]

maybe

[civic spire]

it’s not given to u on a silver platter

[unique mesa]

of every CS major

[stone lotus]

but faang is not big 4 for everyone

[magic briar]

Oh I see

I’m engineering so

[stone lotus]

still tho

cmu

[unique mesa]

yeah for engineering its different

much easier

in engineering

to get a job

like MUCH EASIER

but if u dont like it

[stone lotus]

job market is good rn

[unique mesa]

then obv ur life style will be bad

[stone lotus]

low unemployment rates

[unique mesa]

i wanna work remote sit on my couch and relax

[stone lotus]

almost 1.2x the jobs per applicant

[magic briar]

I really like engineering but I’m scared I don’t have enough creativity or whatever to create stuff idk

[mossy kindle]

lol

[civic spire]

yea but the classes r hella hard like ur not set unless u work hard

[viral reef]

the tech industry is different from other industries

[simple isle]

Still says decided and I got deferred it’s over isn’t it

[stone lotus]

?

[mossy kindle]

lol

[civic spire]

wait im rd and I got complete

[magic briar]

Next Friday

[unique mesa]

i meant thats the problem

[civic spire]

so I gotta wait?

[magic briar]

Same? Does it change

[stone lotus]

this is what happens when you base your opinion of reddit posts

[unique mesa]

engineering has reached is limit in terms of innovation

now it has to be more theoretical

we have to change the way we think about physics

[magic briar]

Yeah exactly like

[civic spire]

no it’s the same

[unique mesa]

which is where quantum computing and space theory comes into play

theres a lot more creativity in that field needed

[magic briar]

But guys I will make sure we have the full dive system from SAO in our life time 😋😋

[unique mesa]

as we haven't explored anything from the fundamental particles to the entire universe

[stone lotus]

the overall job market is pretty good now

cant say the same for CS tho

[unique mesa]

no CS is good

u just gotta

write a good resume

and a lot of ppl

[stone lotus]

true

[unique mesa]

just don't know

how to network

[stone lotus]

its not that bad

[unique mesa]

and how to interview

[viral reef]

not true, working llm's are relatively new

[unique mesa]

and do basic stuff

[unique mesa]

thats theoretical tho

the models are already trained

NVIDIA just released latest Gen Ai chips at GTC

[magic briar]

True that’s why I applied to schools that have co-ops and help you find internships with reputable companies

[unique mesa]

so like computing power is arleady

[viral reef]

ppl make new stuff with new tech -> engineering

[unique mesa]

no

qunatum computing

is a science

so like a new way of computing

thats all physics

like the processors are already there

everything is cloud now

big data

[stone lotus]

true

[unique mesa]

until a new breakthrough in physics comes

[viral reef]

wtf

i hate discord

ppl make new stuff with new tech -> engineering

new stuff in questiom are llm's

[civic spire]

🤦‍♂️

[unique mesa]

https://www.reddit.com/r/UMD/comments/1b5ku3k/so_what_happened_w_the_frats/

[velvet hare]

Are they still changing “decided” to completed

[viral reef]

didnt some1 dress as jesus in umd

[velvet hare]

Or is it over

[civic spire]

yes think

[viral reef]

and walk into campus

[stone lotus]

its over bro

[fathom lava]

is there a purdue wave today for people that got deferred initially

[civic spire]

u can minor and/or have a concentration

[stone lotus]

if it says completed for u then yes

[hard horizon]

No

[viral reef]

my deferred friend got his decisions already

[hard horizon]

I got defered

[old kettle]

so if i got accepted to law for some reason, i can still do econ as double major or minor righrt

[hard horizon]

Didn't change

Guess I'm rejecc man

[viral reef]

idt deferred and rd are split into diff waves

[stone lotus]

prolly yes

[fathom lava]

where wud it say completed

[visual igloo]

is it only acceptance or also rejection

[fathom lava]

like on the portal

[visual igloo]

instead of decided

[hard horizon]

Only acc

[stone lotus]

acc

[visual igloo]

yessir ok i'm so happy wtf

when do u think i'll get the actual letter on the portal?

[stone lotus]

n o idea

[visual igloo]

lolz ok i waited five months i can wait a couple more hrs

[viral reef]

lol

[old kettle]

good

[old kettle]

is it hard to do that though

[dusky lynx]

lmao same. applied mid october and finally will hear back for the last time (unless waitlisted ofc)

[visual igloo]

yeah waitlist would be terrible no more waiting please

[fervent scaffold]

guys don't portal astrology

ie just because someone's portal says complete or decided doesn't mean they're getting in

[dusky lynx]

yh agreed, however, being complete does mean that they get a decision today (good or bad)

that was proved last week

what they get doesn't change tho

[fervent scaffold]

yeah thats fine

getting a decision in general is okay, just don't use the portal to speculate about what the decision is

[mossy kindle]

Oooooo

[serene shard]

what time

[visual igloo]

did anyone that has been deferred get rejected yet?

[unique tapir]

5pm est

[serene shard]

Ok thx

[bleak quest]

are purdue deferred decisions coming today at 5 pm est?

[unique tapir]

there is probably a wave today, yeah

[dusky lynx]

not all but some yea

the rest will get one next week cause that's the last wave I'm pretty sure

[frosty cipher]

2 hours to go (?)

[native tartan]

it’s over for me

still decided

[dusky lynx]

yep, so nervous

[native tartan]

complete or decided

[dusky lynx]

changed from decided to complete today

so probs getting mine today

[stone lotus]

still decided

cooked

[velvet hare]

same

[stone lotus]

i think 31st is the final wave

yep

pretty sure i got rejected anyway

[dusky lynx]

no don't say that, they just deferred a lot of people this time cause of over-population in campus

“As part of Purdue’s effort to avoid over-enrolling students, Purdue is also relying more heavily on deferred decisions for the 2023-2024 admissions cycle; therefore, EA applicants should not be surprised to get a deferral on January 12. Defer is not a deny decision but a method of allowing Purdue to assess space and availability before making a final decision through its Regular Decision review process. Deferred applicants are encouraged to complete a Letter of Continued Interest form in their Purdue Application Portal.”

https://admissions.blog/55000-applied-to-purdue-early-action-97-of-those-admitted-submitted-test-scores/

[stone lotus]

i know

doesnt mean shit

still rejected

[neat field]

Wait if I’m RD, does it matter if I have “complete” or “decided”?

[dusky lynx]

nah, it's gonna be completed till they release it

[stone lotus]

nah

yea like he said

bro got a bit too excited earlier

[opaque spear]

its college of science

not eng

[stone lotus]

why did they put in college off science

[opaque spear]

technically it should be in college of science i think

most colleges who don't want to dedicate an entire dept/building just put it under eng because of all the courses that overlap

anyway i rather have it in college of science because then they can give more pathway/opportunities to cs people

[stone lotus]

engbetter

thats what i thought lil bro

[opaque spear]

eng is good

but cs should stay in science

it has science in its name

[urban sierra]

Mine says decided

[stone lotus]

cooked

[opaque spear]

ea or rd

[urban sierra]

Ea

[stone lotus]

yea its over billert

[urban sierra]

Yeah

I figured

[stone lotus]
