Bro rly thinks
shhh
@solar sapphire
i got into dartmouth
I believe brotha
nah
its impossible these days bro
literally ipmossible
true
swe is good
idk if i should do duke or purdue cs
columbia goated tho
duke is more expensive
speaking as someone from indiana if you can afford it i would do duke
i despise indiana with like
every other cell in my body
but it would be a burden
how much are we talking about
if ur worried go purdue
like im gonna eat less and shit
how much in debt
not qualitatively
indiana is so mid
50k over 4 years?
i donβt hate indiana
Oh hi billert
whats your major/career
12.5 per year
yeah
nah
and purdue
dont then
yeah purdue cs isn't bad
student loan debt is such a pain
its p good
why are there three Billerts?
if u commit i can invite you to the cs discord
isnt purdue cs t20?
two og's and one impostor
lmao
Quick questions about purdue:
-
Do people casually play soccer a lot? I wasn't able to play for 11th and 12th due to injury but really wanna be able to play casually so I was wondering if the intramural stuff there for soccer is like big
-
What is there to do for fun, I've heard a lot of bad stuff about location but beyond that what are some fun things there?
it is
it is
then wtf is with chat being like "eh idk if purdue is known for cs" LMAO
Ngl I say Duke unless itβs way more expensive
- yes. we have club soccer and a lot of indoor and outdoor soccer facilities. it's pretty popular around here.
- go to tsaocaa or movies or go to chicago/indy idk π
its 50k
the mfs who got into ivies say that
a year?
potentially more even
i never said that
no totals
yo let me in
π
i think purdue better
did you commit?
yeah IM sports are def a thing here
personally for fun movies, going to indy, i went bowling on wednesday, minigolf etc
not yet
50k over 4 years might be reasonable
but its my top school
how π
depending on how much it is youβre actually paying
indiana is just boring
bro thats allot of money
ah ok ty
it depends on your financial situation though
@neat trail u got in today?
like if it is possible then Duke is worth it but otherwise go purdue
I'd probably start earning less than minimum wage
i might join the tamu competitive programming discord because apparently they have prizes π
big fish in small pond moment
In that case go for purdue
canβt go wrong with either
but not worth going into a debt that you wonβt be able to pay off well
purdue campus better than dukes
purdue better @fresh dune
yea
fr?
ye
wait does purdue take honors college applications still
its real scroll up
yo do I keep spamming them with emails until they take me of the waitlist
i got in EA but assuming i odnt get into cmu im considering purdue
I donβt think so
yes he sent proof
π
did the person with a 1570 and nasa internship get in
this dude?
ib think he got WL
π
ok
cs applicant?
didnt he get into umich
cs applicants have it ruff fr
prolly aero
oh
guess i gotta go to umid now
CONGRATS!!
ucs too dang expensive
don't congratulate me
Lmao
UMD, Purdue, UW Madison, and Umass, how would you rank them all
im instate π
do u care about cost
No
bruh ucsb was my dream school id give anything to go
Umd > purdue > madison > umass
why umd higher
umd purdue very close but location gives the edge imo
i lowkey might go to UMD for Comp. Engineering
bro when u pull 5 all nighters over winter break doing a stupid art portfolio for cmu design you have slightly higher standards no offense
fair enough
if u care about cost tho purdue > umd
r u a sfa appicant?
if UMD let me do a CS minor i would have comitted
which major
so many rap fans
CE
oh
ce is good no?
idk CE man
i did ce for most schools
i was talking for CS
they dont let computer engineering do CS minor
dang
which is dumb
yeah i dont want to do a lot of physics tho
and if I want to do SWE later then It would be hard to take important classes like DSA
true..
How did I get waitlisted this was my safety
what major
not a safety slimesicle
purdue aos are so cute for letting me get in ea
Does Purdue admit by major
yea
he got WL and i also got WL (34 ACT, nasa internship: CS)
π
ys
what other choices u got
did u get anything els
prolly like some ivy shit
smh
I got case western and ucsd at least
this round fucked me
bro just take a gap year and reapply
yeah most likely
14/14 non acceptances
best of luck slime
cwru does not give aid π
only WL and rejects from my choices
Jeez
They gave me the most aid

oh
but could spend more time on projects
personally im tryna grad early
Hi!! Iβm down
Yess i like Purdue better π
is anyone tryna do double major rn
Iβm gonna try double major cs my second year but itβs highly unlikely
Too competitive I heard lmao
so did ts ever come out
me with engineering
rejected gg
i had two choices, economics and law and society
they picked second aka my alternate
ima also try finance as alternate
Bro is the academic weapon πΆ
Why do you want to double major law and engineering in first place?
pro building
Iβm curious of why cause I just seen heard someone doing that lol
Final results
ye
UCF I heard is a massive dubπ£οΈ
how the f did I get rejected by purdue im calling yield prot
yes!
theyre only seeing "application status complete," do they have to scroll down or smth
there should be a button that says βview your decisionβ
okayokay ill let them knowty
just this
no view decision
dang I thought all decisions were out by today? maybe theirs isnβt
this is not valid bro what r u on
out of state admission is 15-20%
bro no they're not that spreadsheet is wrong
i guess not π
nah
gl to them π i hope it works out
over what
ppl still got in
eng or cs major?
Rejected.. 3.89 with a 35 act for cs
Three people from my school got in today
Must be getting more competitive
cs but my school is competitive af and A LOT of kids get into purdue
some kid got in cs with 3.5, 1400, and basically no ecs
what π
u instate?
cause my friend had better stats and got rejected for cs

Got rejected 
π
sorry to ask in ur time of sorrow but when did ur decision come out π 8 EST?
also furina supremacy i agree
Not sure π₯Ή
ahhhh
ok slayyyy
waitlisted no fucking way π
all this time staying deferred to get back into the rat race again
i genuinely dont understand how this works
i have like a 43 predicted(ib) n like 1550 sat n get waitlisted n a friend of mine <1400 sat and like 36 predicted got in
tf is this
I'm in the same shoes
hOlIsTiC aDmIsSiOnS
my activities r also better...
college sucks
maybe their parents dnated a building or smth
Tell me abt it.
nah aint that rich
cuz im kinda the same, my gpa test scores everything sucks, yet i got in while super qualified apps didnt
Nah my friend got in with 3.5, 1400, legit no ecs
so idek what theyre thinking
I have higher gpa, more ec involvement, 1530 from same school & got waitlisted
what major?
both of us are CS
ohh
I've convinced myself it's yield
yeah def yield protection
Is WL rly yield tho?
yea
see what cmu is doin
or uchicago
<1% rd acc rate
wled anyone whos promising
Tru
n the thing is ppl from my school applied ea n got it in. thats fine but the guy im talking about abv got in rd only
did u apply ea
or straigth rd
rd
its over
why not ea
just asking
got accepted FYE RD after Ea... 4.0 UW senior gpa, co-founded collegiate robotics team that won national champions and 3 times world record hold.. decent Loci.. but I got rejected from every rd private schools. At the end its a luck show I thought... GL to ya'll who got accepted or rejected today.
i thought initially wont be able to afford purdue but then ppl were getting few scholarships as well so was like fuck it can try
damn
to merced, sjsu, fresno state, and purdue
and rejected from literally every other UC, and any private school thats decent for cs
and i got crazy ecs, but meh gpa and test scores, but ig good essays
this stupid process sucks
like luck based college apps
also school dependant when you're intl
im intl
ohh
π«‘
what country if u dont mind me asking
ind
umd
congrats!!
thanks
wanted to go purdue because its 20k/yr cheaper
xd
but il manage π«‘
π«‘
umd but no purdue is insane.
isnt umd cs like 5% ar
I've decided that I will be sending post-rejection letters of discontinued interest to multiple admissions offices across the US, in the mail-in style of popular American author, Ted Kaczynski
should i even expect getting in from wl like any chance
I looked into it online and it acc looks like pretty good odds im ngl
ya got it
Oh fuck... nvm
I was reading outdated info
apparently pre-2020 the wl AR was around 50%
No
thatβs crazy
its prolly gonna be even lower this yr
like compared to last yr
given they had over 78k applications
considering they overadmitted last year
and that they're trying to reduce admits
it'll prolly be 0
Fuck
do US citizens get priority
for acceptance? prob
purdue my one and only love i will officially be committing here
same lmao
were you accepted ea or rd?
its so frustrating
rd
like march 1
but i do live oos so thatβs probably why it took longer to arrive
hopefully I get mine soon
Oh I never got mine I got accepted on March 1
I was accepted March 15
I'm going on the 12th
i'm visiting next week i'm excited
I went into the buildings of the departments I'll be
Yea
iβm still thinking abt committing since indiana in general is so different from where i live
what are the other options and where you from?
hype
yeah same it will be different for me too
nyc, basically the cunys and sunys are all the other options
iβm gonna miss the pizza rats
i'm not gonna be used to the landscape being so flat
Unless you like any of those schools better than Purdue then I say go Purdue even if it a change
No Purdue area is pretty hilly
ucsb ee or purdue ce
i guess i didn't know that
but i live in the mountains so it will still be pretty different
have u ommited?
yes
Finance
nice
but doing minor in CS
they have nice buildings now i think
yes they do I was there today
minor in CS is hard
u are at campus?
I got in 4 weeks ago
I was the entire day
yeah
It's a nice vibe
i heard theres construction?
longest walk between 2 buildings is 15-20 mins
yeah but not too much a hinderance i dont think
not bad considering other campuses where u have to take the bus
they also have free bus from resident halls to class areas
and class to class i guess kind of
they have resident area and academic buildings segregated so it's easy to follow really
ohh
thats good hen
is it prolly the best campus so far you've seen
or are there other campuses that look superior
ive only seen campuses in IL but its the best imo
maybe UChicago slightly better but idek if I can say that
well no UChicago is still like a college town
because it's its own world
outside of it it's like oblock
hmmm ok
but inside of it its a beautiful campus
yea facts
but oblock is literally lilke 5 minutes south
and it's hood southside chicago any south of uchicago
hyde park which is north of uchicago is good but still
all of them came out
is there a class of '28 or FYE discord server?
yes Iβll dm
yea
Does deferred mean you were shifted to the RD pool?
Yes
uchicago campus is beautiful
but area is not safe
my friend doesn't have one yet
same
i thought all decisions were out haha
ahh
My guess is that they are holding some apps to see if people commit or not
Bcuz if they were definite rejection or acceptance they wldve alr released
anyone left was prob more borderline than the waitlist candidates
Idk. I feel like that was the point of rolling out releases. They had a whole month to estimate yield which is why I think the earlier Fridays had the biggest offers
Yes I know itβs a fantastic campus I loved it!
Campus itself is because of the nice safety precautions but I wouldnβt step foot outside tbh
Does anyone have the Purdue discord server for FYE 28?
can you dm to me too?
DM to me also pls
May I also get the link (if it's class of 28)?
same to me
depends on price
can't dm u for some reason
can you send it to me
Please and thank you π
could you send it
FYI the server is supposedly for engineering students (although there are some general chats/place to ask questions)
is there a server for class of 28 then
me as well please
can i also get the link to this?
Me too pls
has anyone received their financial aid offers yet?
when i go to the financial aid page the entire thing is empty
Is it the one with 6800 people?
There's one in the making
me pls
yea may i have that
how were decisions yall if they have come out
could i also have that
last wave was only rejects/waitlists
veryyyy few acceptances sprinkled in
so not that good
fr?
one of my friends got in for Purdue CS
last wave
I would like that
cost?
yeah could you dm we as well
Ez Purdue imo
hi
Can you tell me also Purdue V/S Umass for CS?
guys are all the purdue admitted students day gone for u
do the completly white ones mean theres no reservation and u just walk in
Purdue vs UNC vs VirTech for CS?
Its kinda up to you
Purdue, no doubt
I would have taken UNC because I love the uni but their CS isnt as famous
Between Purdue and VT, def purdue
also whichever is cheapest
im oos so purdue is cheapest
yh, same and purdue is rlly good for cs and eng
Yeah theyβre all full
White just means thereβs nothing on that date
purduee
Does anyone know how long the winter break is?
white ones means there are no admitted students events that day
so you would have to tour campus yourself
there are open house dates throughout April
not sure if they are still open, but worth a shot
if everything is booked, call the admissions office and see if they can squeeze you in
same
Is this chat literally only for CS students or what
Every time I see someone mention a major here itβs about CS
i mean Purdue is known for CS
tere is
*there is
im pretty sure it is CS Memers
search on discord you'll find it
no i meant like is THIS chat only for CS students lol
because theres so many of them my god
also for engineering but ive only ever seen like three engineers text in this sub
it is known for engineering
of course
id say better
but engineering is an incredible weedout
but also im kinda scared with CS with this whole AI thing
elon musk
says all cognitive tasks
wiill be replaced
in 3 years
π
thats why im planning on getting a masters in AI and Robotics

like from purdue?
i believe they have a masters in Ai
maybe not but ill cross that bridge when they come to it
and anyways in actuality like i doubt CS will become completely obsolete in 3 years
r u deciding between rutgers and purdue
PS Elon Musk is terrible with schedules and timing
thats why
lol valid
yeah
i also got SC but its too expensive
purdue is a no brainer
yup
family is closer to rutgers and im instate there
my family friend had the same situation
they talked to professors at rutgers
so idk im waiting for like a financial aid package or something that could swing the scales
their cs program is unfunded and their classes are kinda bad
rutgers gives no aid
esp to instate lol
my friends play like 35k in state
lol housing is such a problem
like i hear that but i also hear that they have really well-funded departments so IDFK lmao
and their dorms are sht
purdue doesnt even HAVE housing π
who lol
no they do
the covid fiasco
ppl just cap about that
purdue has housing
esp freshman year
and following sophmore year
u just got to be proactive
go the library and do the housing form with ethernet
im hyperbolizing like duh they have housing but in freshman year specifically its REALLY hard to get it
during covid they had so many students that people had to live in makeshift dorms in like an empty room or something
no walls and there was like 20 people crammed in there
still cheaper than the 45k tuition from purdue
yea
news to me
but there a lot of opps at purdue
like everyone at purdue ik gets internships
and curriculum is really nice
like very versatile
and its not like the difference is extreme
lmao what
opportunities
oh
rutgers is closer to NY though so theres that too
i mean it doens't matter
like purdue is near chicago too
and plus like location doens't matter sht
u apply online to like amazon microsoft
all of those are in seasttle
true
and its not like nyc companies take from rutgers
they're gonna take
from NYU
Columbia
etc
literally in their hub
guess i should look into it a bit more then
like their department has gone down tho
rutgers
they used to be good like 10 years ago
like in the top 30
but now its like #50 on undergrad
i think theyll get better tbh this is the first year they opened commonapp
so they have a lot more students and funding
i mean
that doen'st matter
that just means they accept less
it doesn't equate to their funding
purdue gets like 100 million dollars like that
i mean id hope they dont send all the money to like the CEO but what do i know π
through grants or wtv
lol yeah president holds the money
rip
ik
ppl who even chose UMD
paying 60k/yr over Rutgers
cuz like any program in the T15-T20 is good
and secures you a job
also a lot more club engagement and other activities in general that happen in those unis
i was gonna apply to UMD but ngl their campus looked so bad
as theres like more ppl
rlly?
ppl todl me
*told
it was like the best
and ive also heard like their crime rate is higher than other public unis
from what ive seen it doesnt look very good lmfao
damn how tho
is campus in the middle of no where?
i thought its near DC
isn't that good?
i suppose so but DC doesnt have that many opportunities
pretty closed off and small
though you are near other places like connecticut and pennsylvania
what? DC has a lot, no?
in my mind DC is like 2 blocks wide LMAOO
oh
i think its like hella far
from campus
and DC is huge right
idk
guys i have a question
for Purdue AE ik the autoadmit to 5yr masters is 3.8GPA, but what is it for Texas A&M
is there a purdue admitted students discord
90% CS, 9% eng, 1% everything else
π
UMD's campus was love at first sight for me
The area around college park is mid
Campus is nice
Why do people diss on Purdue campus though? It looks good to me
I understand not liking the campus life but the campus itself looks nice
I will judge Purdue's campus when I visit it in less than 2 weeks
idk i liked it a lot
what's wrong with the campus life?
Me too
People say itβs quite socially dead
it seemed fun
pprob depends heavily who ur with ngl
i like it because of the brick theme they got going
okay you're in bumfuck Indiana where it's snowing for half the school year, idk what you expect
it reminds me of an actual college campus
tfw it's not actually brick
it's concrete with the brick pattern thing LOL
LMFAOO WHAT
the one thing they had going for them πππ
DAMN OKAY
