[pine gale]

deadass?

[abstract cloud]

yea

[pine gale]

dam

@abstract cloud r u indian

[abstract cloud]

no

[pine gale]

wait no

[abstract cloud]

im bangladeshi

[pine gale]

bangledeshji

[abstract cloud]

Lol

[pine gale]

ytes

[boreal linden]

I think the reason why I got deferred was cause my math and English grades were bad junior year

Then I wrote a lot in my LOCI and my grades were much better 1st semester senior year

And got accepted

[spark wind]

When’s decisions coming out this week? Friday?

[tired leaf]

Genuinely asking, for a person who already got in Purdue engineering is it logical to be stressed about ivy or better schools?

[deft cargo]

i mean u can be stressed yea

but its good to have a rly good option in the pocket so ur not incredibly sad or anything

[urban sierra]

Wait what

Isn’t it Friday

[eternal imp]

Ivy day

[urban sierra]

Oh

I thought you were talking abt Purdue 😭

[eternal imp]

My bad, sorry wrong thread 😦

[civic spire]

so I kinda applied late feb

do u think I’ll get a decision on Friday 😭

[pine gale]

wat

wasnt it due 15th jan

[digital fulcrum]

yep its the last friday of march

[civic spire]

idk they sent me an email saying they extended it

[valid copper]

#1222699208784613478 would appreciate if anyone could help me out if they have time!! tysm

[fleet onyx]

How am i wishing people get rejected??

I havent gotten my desicion yet

and I saw that noone got rejected from this server during RD so i was assuming that all RD rejections gonna come out this week

i wasnt wishing on anyone's rejection

Oh ok

now i wish i selected engineering instead of cs

[abstract cloud]

the college is less important than the major

[fleet onyx]

Wdym

[deft cargo]

purdue cs 🔥

[fleet onyx]

this is the last college i need to get a decision for

[deft cargo]

hope it goes well :D

glgl

[fleet onyx]

gl to you too

i have only gotten into 1 out of state college which is rutgers

didnt get into my top school UF hopefully atleast purdue

[deft cargo]

rutgers is great tho

congrats!! :D

[pine gale]

bro please purdue

last hope

or else cc

fuck

[deft cargo]

i belive in u

glgl

[civic spire]

no Berkeley is the last hope

Berkeley coming in clutch

[pine gale]

so i did in fact get rejected/wl

[civic spire]

portal astrology can go to hell

[civic spire]

oh my god

[deft cargo]

yea its all fake

[pine gale]

even if its confirmed 😭 im just being optimistic

[civic spire]

wait this so so random

[pine gale]

its not

[civic spire]

but did u guys take apcs a

[pine gale]

it 100% is not

fuck sca

[civic spire]

why is chapter 10 so hard

[pine gale]

csa

[deft cargo]

🤫

[civic spire]

guys I quit cs

[pine gale]

LOL

[deft cargo]

ch10 is....

i frgot

[civic spire]

idk recursion

[deft cargo]

recursion?

[pine gale]

recusion

[deft cargo]

AAAAA

[civic spire]

my brain is exploding

[pine gale]

what do u need help w

[civic spire]

why is physics easier

[pine gale]

i did recursion a while ago

[deft cargo]

re__curse__ of cs

[pine gale]

what do u not understand

[civic spire]

uhm like every college board q

[pine gale]

send me one

[civic spire]

wait let me pull it up

[pine gale]

ill work it through step by step

[civic spire]

dms?

[pine gale]

kk

[civic spire]

omg ur a god bless

[pine gale]

here so others can learn!

[civic spire]

so kind 😔❤️

[pine gale]

hell yeah!!!!

[civic spire]

bro berkeley needs u

ull balance out the toxism there

[pine gale]

apparently they did NOT

ana send question

[civic spire]

wait i am

[pine gale]

i have to leave at 8 so u have my atteention untiul 8

[civic spire]

oh

[pine gale]

because calculus needs me at 8

[civic spire]

OMG srryy

i guessed on every q

like uhm i dont understand this at all

wait like how does it work tho

[pine gale]

okay so for this little guy we have 2 methods right: f1 and f2

that are supposed to produce the same result

f1 is a recursive method and f2 is an iterative method

[civic spire]

yeaa

[pine gale]

f1 checks if n is less than 0, and if so, returns 0.

otherwise, it calls itself with n - 1 and adds n * 10 to the result of that call

right

[civic spire]

yess

[pine gale]

and then

f2 initializes an answer variable to 0

while n is greater than 0, it adds n * 10 to answer and then decrements n

[civic spire]

do i like i have to try each condition out

like replace the current condition w the options

[pine gale]

yes, you need to check under which conditions both methods will produce the same result

so lets start with I

[civic spire]

okkk

[pine gale]

if n<0

f1 will immediately return 0 without any recursion

f2's while loop will not execute, and it will return the initial value of answer, which is 0

so I checks out

moving on to II

n=0

[civic spire]

ohhhhh

[pine gale]

f1 will not satisfy the base condition (n < 0), so it won't return immediately but will eventually reach the base condition after the first recursive call with n - 1, resulting in 0

f2's while loop will not execute since n is NOT greater than 0, and it will return answer, which is initialized to 0

so II checks out cus both produce 0

now onto III

n>0

[civic spire]

OHHH waitt that makes so much sense

[pine gale]

f1 will execute a series of recursive calls, each time decreasing n by 1 until n is less than 0, accumulating the sum of n * 10 at each step

f2 will iterate, decreasing n by 1 until n is no longer greater than 0, accumulating the sum of n * 10 at each step

so III checks out

because both methods will produce the same results since they both decrement n until it is no longer greater than 0, and they both accumulate n * 10 into the sum at each step

so therefore f2 will always produce the same results as f1 under all three conditions

[civic spire]

so all three conditions work

[pine gale]

correct

[civic spire]

omgg u made it so simple

[pine gale]

YAY

what else

[civic spire]

stop my teacher complicates like everthing

[pine gale]

😭

[civic spire]

i gotta relearn recursion NOW LOL

[wet barn]

literally same

purdur cs killed me 😁

[civic spire]

omg

[pine gale]

@wet barn i wanna get purdue cs so bad

let me in

pleaSE PLEASE

[civic spire]

manifesting for u bro

[wet barn]

good luck bro 🙏

[pine gale]

me2

[civic spire]

wait like is it like hard

or like grade deflation

[pine gale]

its hard

[civic spire]

oh 💀

[spark wind]

purdur

[civic spire]

maybe i shuda majored in datascience

[wet barn]

I think I got a 70/100 on my discrete math midterm yesterday

and i'm literally doing discrete math research rn 💀

[civic spire]

ok discrete is crazy harddd

[spark wind]

female cs? guaranteed admission

[civic spire]

bro thats not true

false information

[pine gale]

wait i love discrete what r u working on @wet barn

[spark wind]

you wish it was

[civic spire]

obvii

wait is cal 3 harder than discrete??

[spark wind]

though it is fact that women are more likely to be admitted cs

[civic spire]

bc im planning on taking discrete

[civic spire]

yo what 💀

thats not true

[spark wind]

yes it is? one sec

[pine gale]

purdue has 45% female 55% male

[civic spire]

there r way more men

[wet barn]

my last paper was right before college, that was on hat problems so combinatorics and boolean logic

[civic spire]

in cs

than women

[spark wind]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/v42rlr/is_there_a_difference_acceptance_rates_for_males/

granted its reddit so take with a grain of salt

but still

[civic spire]

reddit is not accurate

[pine gale]

slide a question abt discrete math i wanna take a look

been a min

[spark wind]

yeah because they naturally apply more often for CS than women do

[wet barn]

rn is finding closed form for summations of these forms:

mix of lin alg and discrete

[spark wind]

women tend to go for more liberal arts so theres more women in liberal arts. men tend to go for more math-based majors so theres more men in those types of stem areas

[spark wind]

yup cuz men applying cs is more than the women applying cs

[civic spire]

bro what

[spark wind]

am i wrong?

[civic spire]

u do realize its bc men set that system up

[wet barn]

this is from a meeting today. rn is just recurrence and inclusion-exclusion spamming

[civic spire]

which is why women in stem should be more promoted

[spark wind]

regardless of why, its still fact that women apply to more liberal arts majors

[civic spire]

also women make less than men in the field

[spark wind]

im not disagreeing on any other reason

[pine gale]

1st formula is triangular number for n right

[civic spire]

yea but ur og claim is that more women get admitted

[spark wind]

all im seeing is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[civic spire]

which is false

ur claim is completely baseless

[wet barn]

just sum of first n natural numbers

[civic spire]

omg is this the future 😭

[spark wind]

why are you arguing against this

not trying to be like "gotcha" but where are you getting your reasoning from

[civic spire]

cornell isnt every school bro

[spark wind]

for A2C it is 💀

[wet barn]

this is from the latest practice midterm

[civic spire]

😭 alr

[spark wind]

plus for MIT its double as well

so

[pine gale]

bet

[spark wind]

you guys do matrices?

[pine gale]

for 6.) is it O(n * log(n))

lmk

[wet barn]

bro i lowkey left a similar question blank on the midterm

damned if i know 💀

[civic spire]

LMFAO

[pine gale]

oh shit do u not know the answers

[civic spire]

wait ur a freshman right?

[pine gale]

i think its O(n*log(n))

[wet barn]

mb i forgot we got the solutions 💀

[civic spire]

do u guys learn discrete freshman yr

[pine gale]

😭 so do u know abt 6 or is it lost

[civic spire]

wait kunal

cal poly slo is out

[wet barn]

proof-based lin alg was a required pre-req for this project so yeah

[pine gale]

runtime expression for 7a is O(n^2) and 7b its O(n^4)

[wet barn]

but the prof made a sheet with tons of results from lin alg that we can use without proof

[pine gale]

wait this is for 6????

[wet barn]

yeah, makes sense

[pine gale]

what abt 7a and 7b

[pine gale]

yeah im highly stupid

or i just think too fast

[wet barn]

yep

sem 1 - intro
sem 2 - discrete + c (intro to systems)
sem 3 - comp architecture + dsa
sem 4 - systems + algorithm analysis

[civic spire]

@muted socket this is the math ur doing next year 😭

[muted socket]

💀💀💀

Done for

[civic spire]

LMFAO BYE

[muted socket]

That discrete math?

[unique tapir]

hello nerds

[civic spire]

yeaa

[pine gale]

wait could this also be O(n^3) beacuse this argues that regardless of whether n^3 is a power of 2 or not, the total number of times the BOILERUP(n) function is executed in the algorithm is 2 * n^3 - 1, which is O(n^3) in big-O notation

[civic spire]

wait if i take this summer, and i like pass can i test out?

wait oops i pinged u

[muted socket]

Thats assuming I can even declare cs💀

[civic spire]

wait what

u declared ds?

[muted socket]

Data doesnt need discrete I dont think :))

[wet barn]

yes but i is increasing by a factor of 2 on every iteration

so it's only log(n^3/2) iterations

[civic spire]

data science is harder when it comes to theory

[wet barn]

= 3logn

= logn

[muted socket]

Highest math is lin alg but a bunch of stats iirc

[civic spire]

i took this really hard stupid data science class

and it was all theory 😭

[wet barn]

it does 😭

[civic spire]

wait frr

[civic spire]

oh damn we cooked

[muted socket]

Bruh.

[little cosmos]

i loved discrete when i took it

[wet barn]

ds = cs - systems

[civic spire]

is discrete harder than calc 3?

[little cosmos]

albeit it was in hs so much easier

[civic spire]

bc calc 3 was like super hard

[wet barn]

yeah calc 3 is just the same grind as calc 2

[little cosmos]

imo calc 3 is harder

[wet barn]

discrete is completely new

[civic spire]

ohh

[pine gale]

oohhhhh so when i is doubled in each iteration of the outer loop, the number of iterations it takes for i to reach n^3 is on the order of
log_2(n^3) because doubling a number is just increasing its logarithm base 2 by 1

[civic spire]

wait also cal poly slo is out

[muted socket]

The portals down💀

[civic spire]

omg check ur dms

[pine gale]

so we have been denied to slo

fuckj

[civic spire]

it’s yield dw

Purdue and Berkeley will come clutch

[hoary spear]

Is there a Purdue Discord?

If so, can someone pls send in dms

[sour ferry]

i have one for fye 28

[bleak quest]

pls send

[narrow dew]

is \purdue polytech good?

[sharp verge]

there's a 28 one? nice

I thought people just weren't gonna make one

it's not registered in the discord university thing

[plucky zodiac]

Is Purdue polytechnic reputable

[hoary spear]

Send pls, I got in but idk if I will go so I wanted to talk to other student

[frosty cipher]

when does purdue drop tom

[eternal imp]

5pm est

[tropic oyster]

what is that?

could you send the link?

[hoary spear]

yeah same

i need to see if the honors college is worth it

ive been hearing a lot of mixed things but right now im leaning yes

[brisk atlas]

could you send it to me too?

[hoary spear]

Same

[chrome bolt]

guys am I missing out on choosing vt over purdue

for engineering

[opaque spear]

not rlly

[trail patio]

vt better food, campus, and student life no? while purdue is just slightly better program and cheaper

[chrome bolt]

Yeah leaning towards vt because of the location and campus

And for comp/ee, it’s more on par w purdue

[long breach]

What does purdue send in their acceptance package

I hope i get stickers

[boreal linden]

I believe it's mainly stickers

Purdue poly people get more stuff

[unique tapir]

depends on college iirc

college of science is stickers

but some other colleges got other stuff

i think last year business got a lanyard

[narrow dew]

how long did it take for the acceptance package to come?

[unique tapir]

i dont remember

[long breach]

Ok

[hoary spear]

@unique tapir is there a Purdue discord and if so do UK when it's coming out

[neat musk]

the college of ag sent a crap ton of stickers lmfao

[unique tapir]

theres an overall discord its linked in the purdue reddit i think

[hoary spear]

can u send the link? im on the page but cant find it

r/Purdue

[stone lotus]

does it say completed

for anyone

[eternal imp]

I guess for rd applicants it shows completed

[eternal imp]

bro the completed text disappeared

[foggy jay]

yeah same

[deft cargo]

oooh is it dropping today

[foggy jay]

tmrw

[deft cargo]

glgl

[foggy jay]

gl

[hoary spear]

gl guys

the honors college has been filled already right

[urban sierra]

Mine says decided rn

[grizzled horizon]

are you deferred

[urban sierra]

yeh

I’m cooked fr

[stone lotus]

dang billert

we all cooked

[urban sierra]

I’m not as good as the real billert but I hoped I wouldn’t get cooked too badly in college apps

[stone lotus]

chill dawg

you not cooked

[urban sierra]

idk man all I can do is wait for tmrw

[small beacon]

Need this decision to come out fr

My last non safety

[neat field]

Predicting a rejection tomorrow

[dusky lynx]

damn how many colleges did u apply to?

[keen patrol]

Alright see you guys in August!

[frozen dune]

same

[forest blade]

When is Purdue RD coming out ???

[native tartan]

tomorrow maybe

[urban sierra]

My last day of college apps tmrw

[gusty ivy]

purdue i love you so much, all of the other bitchass schools weren't good enough for me anyways i can't wait to see some of you guys in the fall

[neat field]

If Purdue rejects me with a 4.16 and 1570

I’m gonna kick their ass.

😋

[native tartan]

just reject me already purdue

[languid widget]

wait 28 rejected fr?

[stone lotus]

are you intl

[neat field]

I’m OOS

No I’m not intl

[stone lotus]

4.16 1570 dangg

why 28R

[languid widget]

prob cracked schools

[neat field]

I mean 8 of them are Ivy’s.

NYU
UVA
Duke
Etc…

Rejected instate GeorgiaTech was a big surprise

[languid widget]

yeah i can imagine rough

[neat field]

UMich is my last hope

[languid widget]

gl!

[neat field]

And maybe Emory cause they didn’t fix my portal today. 💀

[spark wind]

the amount of times youve said this across multiple threads is making me concerned and i dont even know you

[neat field]

I’m sorry 😭😭😭

I’m sorry for being ubiquitous

[spark wind]

i literally had to google what that word meant

do not worry child, i forgive you for being... omnipresent?

[fleet onyx]

its also rlly expensive for oos Purdue is a lot cheaper

[quaint linden]

Purdue cs is all I ever wanted anyways

I’m too good for the ivies

[deft cargo]

w
me too

[deft cargo]

A FRIENDLY REMINDER FOR YALL TO WITHDRAW IF ACCEPTED TO IVY TODAY

[boreal linden]

I doubt withdrawing today will help

If decisions come out tomorrow

[native tartan]

would only help any waitlists but not as much

[deft cargo]

no for my wled frends

[boreal linden]

I see

[muted dirge]

Fuck Duke Boiler Up

Who wants to be a blue devil when I can be a boilermaker

[tropic oyster]

was expecting purdue today ☠️

[neat field]

It’s not Friday tho

[hard horizon]

isnt it good friday on friday?

[mossy kindle]

Possibly

[hard horizon]

then how will they release on a holiday

[mossy kindle]

They’re different

Might be Monday

Who knows

[hard horizon]

true

gonna die from waiting

[mossy kindle]

Latest is Sunday actually

March 31

[hard horizon]

yh

[mossy kindle]

Idk I think Friday

[gusty ivy]

bro this is so freaking real

i'm not even joking after the past week of rejections me and my dad planned a trip to purdue next week

ily purdue

[sour igloo]

Yo anyone commiting to Purdue?

I wanna set up a gc so we all have some friends when we arrive

[gusty ivy]

theres a 99.9% chance i'm committing and i'd be down

[hasty edge]

yeah I might

[sour igloo]

Sick

[hasty edge]

if I get umich im not sure but theres a very solid chance i go to purdue

[sour igloo]

Ok

[muted dirge]

Sameeeeee

[muted dirge]

I’m a fan of the campus it was nicer than I anticipated

[sour igloo]

Yessir

Glad to know that

[plucky zodiac]

Boiler up

!!!

[broken tree]

🚂 🚂 🚂

[muted dirge]

🚂

[broken tree]

probably committing to purdue FYE now after the ivy day Ls

[gusty ivy]

so real

[unique mesa]

nah

u still got a chance

thats lower than Caltechs acceptance rate

if you get off of purdue waitlist

ur CRACKED

[sour igloo]

Boiler Up

[dapper sorrel]

deferred and it still says decided 💀

time to go cry, purdue was my last hope

[unique mesa]

dont worry

it should come out tomorrow

[neat field]

Is getting a decision tomorrow (since we’re last) means rejection wave? 💀

[unique mesa]

no

they should do last admisison wave

[dim marsh]

Ayo me

[unique mesa]

what major

[sour igloo]

ayyyyyy

[dim marsh]

CS

[sour igloo]

damn

[dim marsh]

wbu?

[sour igloo]

bro is cracked

[dim marsh]

bro is dumb

trust

[unique mesa]

noice

[narrow dew]

anybody here committing to CIT?

[outer plume]

when purdue?

[neat field]

@outer plume tomorrow

[sour igloo]

nah that me

[lime socket]

Purdue finally comes out today right?

[neat field]

Yes Friday

The final wave.

Makes me think of a rejection.

[outer plume]

any idea what time?

[trim apex]

I think it was 6 p.m est

[outer plume]

so still quite some time

[sour ferry]

mee

[sour igloo]

Ayyyyy

[sour ferry]

oh my god ur in the fye 28 server 😭😭 did u go to the event tdy??

[sour igloo]

Nah I went back to sleep because I’m sad about Ivy day

[vernal shadow]

Anyone know deferral to acceptance rate for cs?

[undone geode]

I’m not even cs

I’m aerospace

Plz Purdue, gib me the rejection letter so I can go on with Texas A&M

[undone geode]

Real 🥹

[broken tree]

can I have an invite?

[outer plume]

can i please just get my result today n be done

[dense ember]

Does anyone know when the Purdue freshman class starts, like the approx dates ???

[broken tree]

august 19th probably

[meager raven]

everyone got the change in their portal?

[undone geode]

No

[wind sorrel]

In my portal, the reply form section (deferred student) disappeared, no other changes

[undone geode]

Anyone know what time it comes out?

[outer plume]

guys when

[eternal imp]

5pm est

most probably

[languid nimbus]

GL everyone

[tropic oyster]

does the portal look diff or am i delulu

[undone geode]

looks about same to me

[tropic oyster]

ah man

[wind sorrel]

I felt the same

the background feels weird

[tropic oyster]

ikr

the banner feels changed somehow

[wind sorrel]

yeah, the reply forms dissapered for me and the setup of the page also feels diff

[tropic oyster]

oh

i am rd

which was a mistake since they take basically no one in cs rd 💀

[wind sorrel]

really, I did EA cs oos

I feel a rejection cmng since they had previous waves of cs acceptance

[tropic oyster]

same

but they thing is they also rejected a bunch of kids back then as well

I have some hope that I might get waitlisted or maybe accepted

[wind sorrel]

Hmm, I only heard of people getting accepted and it induced too much anxiety in me

[wind sorrel]

Best of luck to you!!

[tropic oyster]

you as well!

[wind sorrel]

thankx

[dusky lynx]

lmao I rlly wanted to but slept through it 💀

[vernal shadow]

Is something supposed to happen in ur portal if u got deferred

[wet barn]

classes start at august 19

orientation starts on ~aug 9

[boreal linden]

It's supposed to change so that you can't see the deferred decisions anymore

That's what happened to me 2 weeks ago

[muted dirge]

Good luck to everyone today

Crossing my fingers to see you guys on campus in the fall

[summer lagoon]

4 cst for decisions

[native tartan]

joever

i can see mine

[summer lagoon]

same

its fine

prolly

[native tartan]

only if purdue improved their housing situation

we could have had more acceptances

[unique mesa]

they have

they are building a brand new building

it came on their news and ppl told me

[native tartan]

if they are building then the housing situation is improving not improved

[unique mesa]

oh

yeah improving

it says that 35% additional housing

but the thing is

purdue wants to decrease admit rate

[native tartan]

35%??

[unique mesa]

for their competitive majors

[unique mesa]

read online

i think it said smth like that

[native tartan]

alr lemme check it out

[unique mesa]

just search up purdue new housing

i mean

u could email them

and say u dont want the gaurentted housing first year

and try to find your own apartment

and easily get into purdue

acc that might be the move ngl

[native tartan]

35% increase but june 2026

[unique mesa]

oh

damn

by june 2026

they'll be like 100k. per year who apply to purdue

[native tartan]

we’re reaching 10% acc rate for cs by then

[unique mesa]

oos

or instate

[native tartan]

oh yeah oos

[unique mesa]

purdue accepts anyone in state

isn't it already 10%

OOS

idk

[native tartan]

should have moved to purdue

[native tartan]

i thought it was 20 what

[unique mesa]

its 15-20

but for total

in and out of state

acc idk

prolly 15% practically

given this years housing rate

damn thats ivy leageu acceptance then

why do ppl say its a safety/target then

[native tartan]

yeah definitely below 10 in 2026 then

[unique mesa]

prolly low target idk

[native tartan]

applying for the easier majors

overall acc of 60% right?

[unique mesa]

same like UIUC right

[native tartan]

yeah

[unique mesa]

no

50%

[unique mesa]

the only schoool that doesn't do that is Georgia tech

is it cuz they're privae?

private

[native tartan]

gtech is public

[unique mesa]

what?

[native tartan]

yeah

[unique mesa]

thats crazy

they only accept like 9% OOS

during EA

wtf

ok ur crazy if u get in there

[native tartan]

in state is also pretty low

[unique mesa]

relly?

[native tartan]

like 30%

[unique mesa]

yeah

[native tartan]

would even uga be a safety for georgia residents?

[muted dirge]

I think I remember seeing it was a 50% acceptance rate for instate students so I don’t think so unless ur cracked

25% for out of state

[native tartan]

yeah where do they even go then

[muted dirge]

I guess apply to like Bama or something

Since they’ll give money to anyone with a pulse

[unique mesa]

bro

[native tartan]

yeah they gave me money lol

[unique mesa]

check instagram

EA2 was 9%

for OOS

and EA1 was like 25%

[native tartan]

we’re talking about uga

[unique mesa]

EA

[native tartan]

not gtech

[unique mesa]

ohh loll

yeah UGA is not that difficult to get in

when does gtech

[native tartan]

gtech 25% would be crazy

[unique mesa]

come out

[muted dirge]

No clue

[native tartan]

didn’t it already come out rd?

idk

[unique mesa]

it did??

[woven furnace]

It came out last week

[native tartan]

march 22

[muted dirge]

I didn’t like GT so I didn’t apply

[native tartan]

damn fr?

you’re like a minority in that opinion if you’re a cs major

[muted dirge]

Yeah just didn’t like being in Atl

nah Engineering but still

[native tartan]

yeah engineering also pretty close

[muted dirge]

out of Purdue, Uiuc, and GT Purdue was my favorite which I know is unpopular

[unique mesa]

how

gecause of cost

[native tartan]

you’re actually really correct

[unique mesa]

isn't atlant

[native tartan]

you shouldn’t pick a school based on rankings

[unique mesa]

the tech city hub

any jobs

[muted dirge]

I just didn’t really care for the other two when I toured

[unique mesa]

u can get in atlanta

[muted dirge]

And they’re all going to give a good education so

[civic spire]

bro what

so is Purdue out today

[foggy jay]

not yet

[velvet hare]

5 EST

[civic spire]

oh ok tyyy

[foggy jay]

welcome

[fervent atlas]

Any updates for deferred?

[tropic oyster]

was this released by admissions or is it speculative?

[primal stream]

spec

[fervent atlas]

deferred was released around that time

[muted dirge]

I applied EA and was accepted at 4est so I don’t rlly know when they’ll send it out

[velvet hare]

They have been releasing at 5 EST every friday this month

[velvet hare]

Oh damn ok

[muted dirge]

But if they have been regularly sending it out at 5 I’d assume that

[tropic oyster]

oh

but i mean

they can just go purdue and not release today

[velvet hare]

Hahahah yeah

Hopefully they release tho

[tropic oyster]

same

[unique tapir]

every other wave has been around 5pm est so id say its safe to assume there will be another wave around that time today

no portal astrology

[tropic oyster]

portal astrology is bad

[fervent scaffold]

check server rules

[foggy jay]

yeah set your computer to 5 pm est

[hard horizon]

where were you when i needed u tay

they been yapping 😔

[unique tapir]

probably on a break or in class 😔

had orgo & bio this morning and only just got back to my room like 15 minutes ago

[hard horizon]

ironically i was the one spreading portal astro during EA decisions and now i understand why its banned

💀 😭

[unique tapir]

it just causes panic and a lot of times isnt even accurate

[hard horizon]

yeah

[unique tapir]

best to jsut wait for the decision and open it then

[hard horizon]

not over until its over ™️

[unique tapir]

instead of trying to speculate

[little spruce]

"isn't even accurate" is a bold statement when talking about purdue portal astrology lol

[hard horizon]

true, but why cant you just wait 5 more hours?

[little spruce]

5 whole hours bro

[hard horizon]

:/

[unique tapir]

youre a HS sophomore

chill out

[little spruce]

seen too many cases but okay

[unique tapir]

and yeah portal astrology is rarely accurate and its not allowed for a reason

so stop talking about it now

unless of course, you'd like a warning

!

[little spruce]

but i'm not actually doing any portal astro

[unique tapir]

discussing it, and saying its accurate is just as bad

so stop now. final warning.

[little spruce]

alr, whatever you say mrs.mod

[undone geode]

That’s 6am in my time, should I stay awake folks?

[tropic oyster]

but a few times it id

☠️☠️☠️

[little spruce]

sleep

[tropic oyster]

thats why go to college confidential to waste time

[unique tapir]

nah go to bed & just open it when you wake up

[little spruce]

it's probably better to sleep through the rejection

[fervent scaffold]

she's a college student, why the mrs 💀

[undone geode]

Real

[tropic oyster]

+1

[fallow swan]

purdue what time?

[little spruce]

4 or 5 pm est

[unique tapir]

5pm est

[little spruce]

most likely 5

[unique tapir]

people are odd

idk

i dont want to go to psych today

can it be the weekend already

[fervent scaffold]

awh

take care tay

[velvet hare]

same

[fervent scaffold]

just one more day

[unique tapir]

literally just one more class LMAO

[fallow swan]

shud i pick purdue or ucsd jacobs cs

[unique tapir]

1:30-2:20 then im done

[unique tapir]

personally, id go with what is cheaper

[little spruce]

how much does money matter

[fallow swan]

i love indiana tho
legit downtown carmel love

[unique tapir]

admittedly idk much about ucsd's cs program

[fallow swan]

alot im from india i aint got shit

[little spruce]

purdue

[unique tapir]

id imagine purdue is much cheaper than

[fallow swan]

can i dm you?

[fervent scaffold]

#954425230896545792

[dusky lynx]

for cs purdue is rlly good and also I assume cheaper

[unique tapir]

about..?

[little spruce]

ucsd is almost twice the price

[fallow swan]

youre from west leff right?

[unique tapir]

im not

[fallow swan]

i had a few questions about purdue im really worried

[unique tapir]

i go to school here

but im from ohio

[little spruce]

bro

[fallow swan]

oh

[unique tapir]

happy to answer any questions about the school, campus life, etc

but just ask here bc others may be having the same questions and then they can read answers in here

[fallow swan]

no like do you study in purdue west leff?

[unique tapir]

oh

yeah

[little spruce]

she does

[fallow swan]

oh

[unique tapir]

and its lafayette

[fallow swan]

LMFAO

[unique tapir]

why are you answering for me, thats weird. please stop

[little spruce]

thats not weird

[fallow swan]

so hows the party culture and indian community there? if you have any idea

[little spruce]

you have purdue'26 in your name and you've been talking about west lafayette for a while

[unique tapir]

party culture im not sure, thats not my vibe but ik some people who enjoy partying and as far as im aware theyre able to find stuff for them to go to

[fallow swan]

is it bad for international kids like racism or anything like that?

[little spruce]

i heard 2 indian kids got attacked this year

[fallow swan]

yeah same

one indian kid passed away

in purdue

thats why im kinda worried

[fervent scaffold]

i know a lot of indians go to purdue so there's a decently strong indian population there

[unique tapir]

as for indian community, im not sure again. i am white, but i have some indian friends and from what theyve told me they seem to feel like theres a good community

[fallow swan]

thanks alot

[unique tapir]

this was a freak accident, and had nothing to do with race

[fallow swan]

could you tell me more?

[unique tapir]

very tragic, but he was drunk and his friends didnt make sure he made it into his dorm/room okay

[fallow swan]

oh

shit

i didnt know about that

[unique tapir]

he wandered around campus, and eventually died due to the cold

[little spruce]

wasn't he attacked by a homeless person or smtg

[dim marsh]

Similar thing happened at UIUC iirc

[little spruce]

or am i thinking about smtg else

[unique tapir]

yeah, very similar thing happened at UIUC

[unique tapir]

you must be thiking of something else

[fallow swan]

i was thinking the same thing

[unique tapir]

both the UIUC and this case was due to the elements, and iirc both people were drunk

[fallow swan]

ah alright

[unique tapir]

so its likely their body couldnt tell them that it was stupid cold, and they may have not been fully adjusted to the climate

[dim marsh]

A few years ago, a roommate did uh well

[fallow swan]

how would you rate the dorms and the food ?

im vegetarian btw

[unique tapir]

dorm deff depends on what dorm youre placed in, not all are created equally

im in honors, my room is quite nice

[fallow swan]

ohh

thats nice

[unique tapir]

food is fine, i know my vegetarian friends will struggle sometimes with finding food, but there are options at every dining hall

[dim marsh]

I regret not applying for honors

[fallow swan]

whats your majors?

[unique tapir]

if you didnt apply to hnors and want a higher chance of a better dorm id apply to a learning community like data mine or WISP which are in hilly and meredith south respectively

im a genetics major, currently co26 but im a freshman. might go back to being co27 and pick up ecology, evolution, and environmental science

and then i have a psych minor

[little spruce]

when's the deadline?

[unique tapir]

unsure

yall deff have time still

granted not sure how much

idk when the priority housing deadline is

last year it was april 15

very important you apply for housing before the priority deadline though

[little spruce]

"The application deadline for priority placement is May 5th for incoming students. Students who apply for a Learning Community by the May 5th priority deadline will be notified of their placement status through their Purdue email account by the end of the first full week in May."

[dim marsh]

Tay, what are the odds that I get into the dorm I ask for?

Dorm AR 😭

[unique tapir]

you cant request a dorm

you rank preferences

[little spruce]

lmfao

[fervent scaffold]

that was in georgia

[dim marsh]

Fair enough

[little spruce]

mb

[unique tapir]

and preferences are for room type not dorm

so like

[dim marsh]

Oh

[unique tapir]

double w/ ac, triple w/ ac, yada yada yada

[undone geode]

Iirc the deadline was extenddd

[little spruce]

to?

[dim marsh]

I am assuming you suggest double yeah?

[unique tapir]

yeah

triples are cheaper though

so if cost is important to you then that may be smth to consider

[little spruce]

you can't pick room mates right?

[unique tapir]

you can pick a roommate

[little spruce]

it's randomly assigned?

oh

[unique tapir]

but yall gotta make sure your like

preferences for room type rankings are the same

[foggy jay]

hey tay do you study at purdue or are you an applicant?

[little spruce]

study

[unique tapir]

im a current student here

[dim marsh]

The fees calculated for COA includes the highest or lowest room type?

[unique tapir]

i think the average

[little spruce]

google it

[dim marsh]

Ah

[undone geode]

How do you pick one? Like registering and stuff

[foggy jay]

thats awesome! cuz i wondered how you knew so much I overlooked the purdue'26 lmao

[velvet hare]

King dude, what are you doing here. Thank you so much for donating all that money to me in January. It allowed me to apply to college

[unique tapir]

this i cant remember, im sure there are instructions in the housing portal (i personally went random)

i tried for a while to find someonne who meshed well with me to be a roommate but everyone i meshed well with wasnt in honors so i couldnt live with them

[undone geode]

My friend I haven’t met for 7 years is going to Purdue, hopefully I get in so we can roommate

[dim marsh]

Did the random turn out well?

[unique tapir]

ehhh

[dim marsh]

lmao

[unique tapir]

her & i are not compatible living wise

shes a nice girl

but our schedules are very different

[foggy jay]

ofc man dw about returning it and if you need more just ask

[unique tapir]

i dont think she was fully honest on her like living preferences thing

but its not a huge deal to me

bc like

she lets taybf sleep oveer

so

[undone geode]

Nice

[tropic oyster]

@unique tapir is honors worth it if you are not going towards academia?

[little spruce]

would help in course selections maybe

[tropic oyster]

hmm

[dim marsh]

And well, dorms

[fervent scaffold]

wait how big is your dorm damn

[unique tapir]

for housing alone yeah

[tropic oyster]

but isn't honors like much harder

[unique tapir]

the seminars are easy A's and some decent gpa boosters

can also answer any questions regarding honors!

[forest blade]

When is purdue coming out ???

[unique tapir]

im TAing the freshman honors seminar next year as well :)

[unique tapir]

expected wave around 5pm est

[forest blade]

Cool

[tropic oyster]

ah damn

[undone geode]

Can you get into honors in the second year for example.

[unique tapir]

you can! but one of the biggest benefits of honors is the housing which is reserved for freshman so idk if its really worth it at that point

[undone geode]

Are there any extra costs for being in honors?

[unique tapir]

small fee

[dim marsh]

Tay would you say that off campus housing is better for 2nd year and ahead for non honours

[unique tapir]

i wanna say its like $200

[unique tapir]

depends, off campus housing is very expensive bc they will jack up rent prices for desperate students

[undone geode]

Do you switch roommates each year?

[unique tapir]

personally my room next year will be cheaper than my room this year but i was under a lot of stress to find on campus housing

[unique tapir]

you can

but if you like your freshman year roommate yall can continue to live together

[dim marsh]

oof

[undone geode]

Nice

Thanks!

[wet barn]

don’t take physics at purdue 😁😁😃

been up for 28 hours studying for this midterm and i’m 100% sure i’m still gonna fail ffs

[fervent atlas]

Did basically almost everyone in here just muted bruh

[unique tapir]

dont say this to me, im taking physics next semester

[fervent atlas]

yea...

what did they even do

im curious

[wet barn]

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO DONT TAKE PHYS241

delay graduation by a semester if need be

[hard horizon]

is it e&m?

or mechanics

[wet barn]

yes

[fervent atlas]

why...

[wet barn]

there’s 2 intro e&m classes here

[hard horizon]

glad im getting to skip that with aps

[unique tapir]

ill be doing 233 and 234

[hard horizon]

🫡

[gentle gust]

how is premed route at purdue

[wet barn]

272 is the class everyone takes. everyone gets an A on that one and it’s super easy

[hard horizon]

is it harder than boards

[wet barn]

then 241 is the one i’m taking

because 272 was full

…

[fervent atlas]

idk why im even asking tbh i dont think im getting in anyway

lol

[unique tapir]

hey im doing a pretty similar route to premed so if you have any specific questions feel free to ask!

[gentle gust]

ive been seeing things about not enough resources at purude for premed

[wet barn]

this class has 1.5x the content, half the resources, and 0 grade boosters

[gentle gust]

what major are you doing?

[unique tapir]

genetics

[wet barn]

no labs no recitations nothing. one exam counts for 30% of final grade

[unique tapir]

bruhhh i dont want to walk to the physics building its so far

[gentle gust]

oh thats cool, im going in as biochem but i was wondering if my major is best premed route to take

[unique tapir]

i mean im not sure what major is best, id assume bio or things more in the bio department probably make it easier for you to hit your prereqs

[old kettle]

when is purdue regular coming out

[fervent atlas]

today apparantly

[old kettle]

btw @unique tapir or @wet barn do u know if its possible to do double major

[wet barn]

i’m doing a triple major

so yes

[old kettle]

triple??

how

[dim marsh]

more like

why???

[wet barn]

insane amounts of overlap

cs + math + mathematical econ

[unique tapir]

its possible

depends on overlap

[old kettle]

im assuming u originally got in for cs

[unique tapir]

i might pick up a second but its very similar to@my first

[wet barn]

yes

[dim marsh]

How much of Physics would I need to take as a normal CS major?

if at all

[old kettle]

idk if its hard to get a double major in engineering

im assuming so

[wet barn]

nothing

[civic spire]

do u graduate earlier

[wet barn]

you just need to take a sequence of lab sciences

[civic spire]

since like most of ur classes overlap

[unique tapir]

yall dont have to have physica???

thats so not fair

[dim marsh]

Can I get that off with AP credits?

[wet barn]

physics chem bio earth sciences anything works

[wet barn]

yeah

[wet barn]

i still took it like an idiot 😭😭😭

[dim marsh]

Thats extremely good then lmao

[wet barn]

no i’m staying the full 4 years and taking a shitton of grad courses instead

[unique tapir]

shoulda done eaps to get your lab science req

[dim marsh]

I do NOT want to do science again

[wet barn]

i should have

[unique tapir]

i took bio 135 it was a lab class and it was stupid eady

easy

[wet barn]

not even kidding if i don’t get a 90 on this midterm im actually gonna drop the class

[unique tapir]

grade wasbased on learning targets

[wet barn]

because then no matter what i won’t get anything above a B

[civic spire]

wait r u doing a blend of ms and bs

[unique tapir]

me with cogsci next weem

[wet barn]

nope, just a bs

[unique tapir]

stupid ass psy200

[civic spire]

oh

[wet barn]

but you can take grad courses with prof permission

especially in math

[civic spire]

ohh I see

[wet barn]

ik a freshman taking 3 qual-level courses rn 💀💀💀

[civic spire]

damn wtf

[unique tapir]

some degrees require you to take a few grad courses

💀

[old kettle]

so what majors should i double in as law major (second choice)

[wet barn]

data sci/ai/econ

[old kettle]

unless law and econ are similar

oh lets go

nice

[dim marsh]

Wait I am not sure how double majors work, I got accepted into CS, can I still double major with cybersec?

oof according to reddit it isnt advised

[unique tapir]

i think cybersec is inn polytech so your advisor may not let you

[old kettle]

wait can i also change major at purdue

incase law doesnt work out

[unique tapir]

mine was apprehensive on letting me double major in smth that was in a different college

but she added the minor for@me at least

[dim marsh]

ah that sucks then

[unique tapir]

doesnt hurt to ask if its smth you want though

[dim marsh]

Well atleast CS has a security track

[dim marsh]

Do double majors have additional costs?

[unique tapir]

if there are any additional costs to the major yeah

[old kettle]

wdym additional costs

[dim marsh]

Fair enough

Will research about double majoring but I wouldnt want my GPA to take a hit

[muted dirge]

Some majors have additional costs on top of the coa

[void sluice]

when do they release financial info

[muted dirge]

Like I think Engineering has like a 2k additional cost

[muted dirge]

I think mid April

[unique tapir]

unknown bc fafsa is fucked up

[old kettle]

thats fine purdue is pretty cheap anyways

although it is impossible to go to engineer for double major im assuming

[muted dirge]

Yeah it’s really reasonable

I’ve heard it’s not impossible just very very difficult

[stone lotus]

fuck fafs

didnt even release corrections

[fair sequoia]

application just changed to say “complete” instead of “decided”

took them too long 💀

[old kettle]

wait its out

?

[serene shard]

really?

[eternal imp]

nope

after 3 hrs I guess

[undone geode]

5pm est

[old kettle]

whats that in california terms

[undone geode]

2pm

[stone lotus]

its not out

but it changed to complete for everyone

[dapper sorrel]

yeah just checked it changed to complete

was decided a few hours ago

not staying up another night for another rejection 🔥

gonna check it in the morning

[civic spire]

it’s been complete

😭

[stone lotus]

yea

gon be a rejection fosho

[outer plume]

mine hjas been saying complete for whole ass 2 months
