1 messages · Page 2 of 1
same class
the difference is like
u hv college requirements outside of ur major
so for the college thats in the form of writing, foreign language and engangements which are discussion based
for engineerng thats like chem, physics and ik they hv something called foundations of engineering or something
as for what u learn major wise its all the same and up to u
It's easier to transfer out of E School then to transfer in tho. I'd honestly rather go for what I want and then, if needed, try to transfer out
i mean i applied to eschool
Though hopefully I'll go to MIT instead of UVA 
and transferred out wen i got in
gl my guy but truss uva cs is pretty good
You transferred out of the e school?
currently working on a project and its pretty cool
My brother is a CS major he's class of '24
ye literally sent an email
at UVA
oh nice
How come
wouldnt wanna dox but id like to meet him
i didnt wanna do physics
Yuh lol my oldest brother has a Masters in Data Science from UVA & Undergraduate degree in Statistics & Econometrics
But you still wanted to do engineering?
Or whatever ur doing
im on the visualization team
Speaking of that what are u doing
sheeesh
i wanted to do cs
comp sci
But you didn’t want to do physics
in the college
ye
In the e school
cuz cs has nothing to do with physics
So you transferred to the college
yep
Okay so it doesn’t rlly matter which one u pick
It was just preference from that point on
Ah okay
ye exactly
id say that bacs is def easier unless ur extremely like stem heavy
personally would rather spend time doing projects
than a thousand psets
Psets?
No not rlly
Oh?
I mean yeah they're just problems that they give you to complete
Basic homework-style type
are ba and bs in cs looked at like equally?
Or is one more like better then the other
Or not rlly
They are yeah lol no one really looks at the B(S/A)
I mean if you say you have a CS Degree from UVA
They're not going to ask
Should I still take a 4th year of foreign language to meet the recommendation of UVA
ion think it would matter too much
but if u hv space might as well
It wouldn’t be Spanish 4
if ur applying to the college
¯_(ツ)_/¯
no
no no no no
do not take a 4th year
no nono
also u get into all the engineering fairs regardless
Why not
I took 3 years of Spanish
Waste of time?
Hell no
Exactly
I would get a 1
I'd just try your best to pass out at UVA
I mean to have a better chance to get into UVA
Oh from that sense a 4th year will not help you at all no
It won't hurt you or help you
Idk what to take for electives
Whats ur schedule look like for next year?
AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, AP Lit, AP Gov, IB Business Management
And 2 open slots
Doing AP CSA this year
Yes
hmph
Sophomore year
VA
Everything in person
oh rip
No online classes
Wow
Or dual
I took 14 APs and like 5 Dual Enrollment
Oh I take that back my Dual Calc teacher was in person
Your school don’t offer any?
oop i only took 7 aps
Not a single one
but i only had 2 years in america
Looks like I’m adding intermediate guitar
Took beginner guitar freshman year
AP Chem?
💀
You said u from southwestern va right
Kinda makes sense
yuh
I wouLDVE LOVED TO TAKE AP CHEM
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
NO IDEA
HOW LONG I BEGGED FOR THEM TO LET ME TAKE IT
I BEGGGGGGGGGGED
but no
iT rEQuIrEs lAbS
wHo Is goInG tO wAtCH yOu wIth ThE LaB eQuIpMeNt
the fucking Chemistry teacher you bitch
AP Com pGov? @little pagoda
I find it pretty easy to do in tandem with AP Gov (I'm taking both rn)
I think the school only offers 1 type of AP gov
its a good option if you're looking for an AP that won't be as hard
i took econ & personal finance over the summer and took the wisetest and made a 100 lol
But if I switch I’ll lose my perfect lunch schedule
I have A and B lunch
If I get D lunch I will literally die
I will be 300% less productive in 3rd block until I get my lunch
Crazy
Anyone here know about UVA's portfolios? @little pagoda maybe you do
It says art, dance, or music portfolio
Can I really not submit my CS portfolio

I worked so hard on it
yeah lmao
it my firstnamelastname.com actually but u know
Anyways I guess you're right
Atleast MIT accepts it
Oh that screenshot isn’t urs
What screenshot
On the mit thread
Oh no it's from reddit
Yeah
I'm taking it again in October, hopefully it's good. However, I think my ECs MIGHT just MIGHT make up for it MIGHT
33 lol
😭
Princeton are frauds MIT are #1
Pays more to US News
Like what does US News rank them so much better in
Idk
All I know is that there’s no way a mf is taking Princeton over MIT or Harvard
is your #1 harvard or mit
My #1 is ED Cornell 💀
You're applying ED next year or are you skipping a year?
Ah ok ok
My dad is telling me to EA CMU for the lolz
Cornell has a really good Engineering program and if you go to Cornell you're guaranteed at least 1 message a day from ApplyingToCollege about Cornell
I’m debating between Engineering or Buisness
To Cornell?
Yeah
Engineering unless you don't thnk you're strong enough in it
To like every college
My ecs are more business related
I have engineering ecs but like my main stuff is state lvl deca and Fbla stuff
Hopefully nationals this year
Wdym
you must hcoose 1
Then you are a traitor
Damn
All my FBLA members are banned from entering the DECA rooms from my school
That’s crazy
Any fraternizing with DECA members results in immediate termination
My school gotta DECA vs FBLA rivalry too
FBLA has like 3x the members but DECA sends more to nationals
I'm the FBLA President lol
Wow
Who let a freshman be Fbla president
FBLA
Sorry
That’s crazy
I got too many mid tier ecs
My philosophy is: If I can apply programming to it, I can be good at it
lemme see
dm me them
ok
Does uva accept by major
no
unless ur architecture or sum shit
it accepts by school
We need portfolios???
Optional portfolios
Ik this sounds dumb, but I’ve been lacking so much on actually knowing what this shit is
Apparently it’s only for arts and music
Like I know the colleges I want to go to and I researched what they have so I’d apply accordingly, but I haven’t gone anywhere near to or in depth into like the application process of shit like w ur portfolios
Dang
I’ve accepted that I might end up instate 🙏
Which isn’t a bad thing
Virginia doesn’t have bad schools
USNews is bull shit
Half of those schools shouldn’t be up as high as they are 😂
avg prestige chaser
Bro jhu is nice
Bro really said uva "isnt bad"
isnt it 24 on usn
mickey mous erankings but
sounds like a great school to me
real af
tbh id argue va has best public besides cali
cuz uva vt w&m is honestly a solid trio of schools
How is it Mickey
I hear UVA cs is worse than VT
Well I mean
Tbf
It has tech in its name
But
I prefer uva over tech
tech seems a bit too
Whatcha call it
Like
Rowdy?
Kinda?
Idk
what
UVAs comp sci catalog looks like shit
UVA is the #1 CS in Virginia and like #26 in the US
idk what ur going off of 💀
i mean as someone at uva and has many vt cs friends
short answer is no vt isnt better
if ur talking bout research (?) maybe
My teacher told me that VT is better for comp sci / engineering in general
Teacher went to VT
WHAT
but in terms of employability id argue uva any day
Nah
VT IS NOT BETTER FOR ENGINEERING BRO
💀
He's a theater major turned physics major
JUST FOR THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ALONE YOU GET MORE OUT OF UVA THAN VT
dont make me beat you bro
Damn
lmfao
I'll beat ur ass little dude
bitch
ONG COME OVER HERE RN
wanna go rn
I WILL BEAT UR BITCH ASS
hey hey
uva is much more of a target school than vt sry
I rlly dont know wtf is a target for me lol
UVA is best public school
My stats are so weird
berkely doesn't compare never heard of it
Berkeley*
https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/?234076-University-of-Virginia-Main-Campus idk u can check here
A year?
Yeah lol
damn
lmfao
slide me sum
A data analytics firm based out of DC
He works remotely
Wow
oh so hes making bank
yeah
thats good
I wanna do that
Dude cost of living in king william
is dirt
legit dirt
we got 10 acres for like 30k i think
btw yall can use this for any school u lookiung at
to guage how much they be m,aking
I ain’t ever heard of a mf that lives east of i95
I wonder if VT would gimme a scholarship
theyre not knnown to
unless ur low income
Yeah aint happening
even then its not that much
bro college gonna be so expensive
uva full need
VCU?
Where the hell is king William
Anyone can get a full ride to vcu
uva ur best bet if u rich and instate
Isn’t that where a buccees is opening up??
ye was bout to say
I swear I saw something on ig
vcu isnt hard
no
King William has 1200 people total
xD
It's 8 mins from state fair tho
Yall go to the fair this year?
how you get rejected from community college
Nah the bucees is on i64 heading west from Richmond towards Charlottesville
VCU had a 93.1 acceptance
if u get denied there ur fucking slow
I'm sorry
theres no excuse for that
Idk but I applied to take DE Precalc last year and they said no
OHHH it’s new Kent
LOL
That's such a rip
Dude I emailed them for linear algebra
them pricks ignored my email
like yeah fuck you too
They ignored my friends email too
If uva rejects me I’m still going there
and he's a sophmore in calcbc
Real
that's a good attitude
Guaranteed admissions agreement
For engineering
Also I’m fine w going anywhere else
But
I rlly don’t wanna live close to home
It’s not like I don’t like home
It just seems cooler
Living farther away
With random@people
I would like to go somewhere else but north is too cold and south is too hot
Talking about Virginia in general?
Virginia the sweet spot
The country
The Hampton roads area can kiss my ass
It’s bipolar as hell down here
Could be sunny one day
Next day rainy
Then fucking snow
Bro I hate the weather rn
Virginia such a shitty state
And the roads were flooded
I wish I lived in boston fr
50 in the morning and like 80 at 3pm after coming out of school
Cause we’re basically on the beach
Nothing I wear is comfortable
I love living on the beach
But
I’m just not a beach guy
Like I fucking hate sand
Like that’s it
VA Beach gotta be the worst beach I ever seen
Just fuck sand
Dirty af
Some places yeah
Mmk
There’s a couple sweet spots
what school is in boston 💀 (public)
EA VT & UVA
Oh idk
Why is CMU EA for high school juniors
I just like boston
word
It feels like a vibe
ion like boston much but not like va is much better
I’m bout to ea to uva and tech with barely and ecs 💯💯
as a urm
my ecs were alright
My ecs r prolly the weakest point
Whats ur gpa
Like my grades don’t make up for that
Not horrible
for me it was like
essay
ecs
lor
grades
My best is gonna be essay & ecs
I think I’m getting rejected 🔥, too many academic weapons at my school and they value gpa so high
my lor are crazy
i mean is ur school competitive
Cause I'm paying for someone to review my essays
W/o a doubt my lor would prolly be the best
It’s an ib school
Mine is ib school too
I was ib for first part of 3 years
girl im talking to got a 4.9 lmfaoo
Then dropped for my senior year
I go to a school in the boonies
Sheeesh
What the fuck you mean 4.9? What the fuck did she take
How the fuck
Why you drop ib
Cause I didn’t drop ib cause I wasn’t doing good
I took every AP/Dual I could and miens only a 4.5
Idek how youd do that
idk she went to a magnet in dc
I just wanted to do different classes
Ik someone that got a 5.1
Ib was so restricted on the schedule I had
I couldve been done with like MVC, LA, Dif Eq
wrong scale
I had only 2 open blocks to pick other classes
lol
fucking magnet schools
So I decided to drop ib
Ik a kids school
Probably out of 5.5 yeah
they'll give you a fucking 5.0 for paying their application fee
where 9/100 magnet kids
cause I wanted to do ap calc
So UVA is a private school right
got into MIT
I don’t belive so
Hell nah
Blair Magnet school in maryland
its one of the schools known as a "public ivy"
9 of the 120 magnet kids
Oh and yet the acceptance is 20% of Virgina kids?
got into MIT last year
public ivy
Probably higher
Public ivy sheesh
For instate
Is NC state a public ivy
NC Chapel Hill probably is
I ended up dropping that
Bro got the water bottle schedule
Bc was virtual
I was forced to do AB first which was bullshit but
And I hate virtual
oof
What's asb
the issue with VA schools
Study block
all are broke asf except in nova
I need it
😭
I need a study block
I hate nova kids
Half our ap courses are online
Oof
its so depressing
Like I could’ve done an excuse block
lol
But I focus better at school
I wanted to jump every single nova kid
Cause last distractions
Fuck nova kids
Study block is worth it
No school is OFFICIALLY a "Public Ivy" though a few papers from attendees of actual ivies have dictated certain schools as "Public Ivies" and you can see that online
Afford
Our math teachers teach cs
public ivies r pre much the t5 on usnews
ahh
Same
No special cs teacher
We have a good Math teacher
maybe UF
Besides 1
ours is department chair of county so we have a good one
at my school we don't even have a cs course other than AP CSA which is online
pfft
yep
damn
sucks
My school definitely corrupt as fuck
what was it
cosby hs ion go there no more so
It’s not that big
i'm going to wait there on summer break and find you
💀
oh chesterfield
Shut it
AYO CHESTFIELD?
Yeah
prolly one of the better ones in VA but still not amazing
I’m in chesterfield too
who go to chesterfield
HA
Highland Springs is good at sports
wait brightpoint rejected u @little pagoda
yeah
lol
💀
we been knew that
we r good at soccer tho
This, my friends, is the grammar of a CS major at uva
lol
lmfao
man im black 
at UVA do u have to do autistic classes
woah now
same
Richmond??
tf that mean 
Woz lives in Richmond
real
um
it means your gen ed classes
Please say no
Va beach better
if ur in the college
istg if im forced to do a history class
yes
no if you go to engineering school
Physics coonsidered engineering?
yes
um
good
I aint doing a history class
or english
Thats one thing im making sure no schools i apply to do
wait
I am not doing that bull shit
Physics may be in the college
I'll do comp sci then
u can pick i think
Might apply to the engineering school just so that I don’t have to do Spanish gen Ed’s 💀
Spanish fun though
I won’t tho
both my siblings only had to 1 semester
FOR WHAT
Physics and Engineering - UVa Physics
oops
@hard ridge ayo check dms is important
english?
How hard is the Spanish pass out test

prick
no
Ye i saw
requirements
Found the others
word
whatever tf that means
idk how good UVA is for physics
Wtf physics majors do
Prolly not great
Academia, Research, work for gov
If I don’t get into an ivy I’ll just do comp sci and math
Otherwise I’ll do physics
Cause physics isn’t smtn you can study in Virginia
The way the curriculum works with physics it just wouldn’t work
idk i dont think being just a physics major is good
i think going into engineering with like an emphasis in physics
but hes smart af
wtf
oh right nvm uva accepts those stupid transfers
bro took linear algebra as a freshman
Yuh I'll have alot of classes too bc everything transfers
hes like
I will be able to graduate a semester early if I go to UVA
That’s crazy
and he made a master doc for all of calc 2 and 3
and is working on discrete and linear
bro is literally him
EB?
The smart mf’s that be helping are literally blessings
meant be
Oh
most positive guy ive met here
I think teaching would be fun
meh
have you had the mac n cheese from OHill yet
ye once
bro its so good isnt it
How are uva dorms?
ye but had beteter
new dorms r pretty nice
So it’s shit?
no
or if your a bitch you can live on the lawn and die of heat stroke in summer and hypotherma in winter

How many room mates ?
1
Not bad
everyone is in a ddouble
That’s W
You get to pick?
How do you pick?
my roommate is @frank flume
Oh fr?
u jus specify on the housing app
What if I want no roommates can I pay double rent
I’m asocial asf
my brothers roomate was from belgium
nope
So idk man
Are most comp sci kids asocial there
I assume so? 😂
I hope I get a cool mf that don’t vape or smoke
And your roommate is too
like a lot
He has a galaxy pfp
less so
😂
UVA is actually pretty social bro you can pull up to the lawn and talk to like 900 people
ye
Wtf
i mean
@hard ridge ahve you been to any concerts at the ampitheater
there r hellla fucking parrties
nah
The people are deadass so asocial
you been to a frat party?
tbh
My biggest fear is my op getting in and me not
hell ye
which frat bro
sigma nu i think i be going to the black parties tho
He’s black my guy
like
Wtf you mean BLACK PARTIES
they have specific
no
Yes
do they got Asian parties
do they have caucasian parties
jus that the black groups like the BSA OAS (african) SOCA (carribean) all throw parties
and there r black frats as well
oh nice
Black frats prolly are amazing
naturally
thats what most of the frat parties r
Nvm I going to them Cuban parties
its not closed off to other races 💀
bro my sister-in-law was moving out from her sorority and i was helping and they were having a fucking BANGER of a party
juys that most of the ppl there r prolly in touch with said groups
bitches can take some alcohol at uva

everyone can
then her sororioty mate type bitch was fucking hot as hell
she wouldn't take my number she fr called me a baby
No I was 10
You prolly get so many bitches fr
My sister in law is 26 lol
😭
I used to be embarrassed of my companies ngl
People chat shit till I say numbers then they wanna be friends 😂
Companies?
Yes
I rather drive 2 hours back home everyday than get a shitty roommate
imagine being able to drive 2 hours back
Imagine being able to drive
It’s closer to an hour
16 year olds rise up !
I miss my fucking car
Oh that’s right
oh yah you can't bring a car your first year
You don’t get a car first year uva
Nope
Walking 20 mins to class every day
Most schools r like that
you don't get a car first year at most univerisites at MIT you never get one unless you're interested in $200/month for parking
Depends on what down u get
Oh god
Dorm
Ima list that I have asthma and diabetes on the thing
Old dorms to central grounds is like 10-15 minutes
New dorms is like 20-25
How many miles
Dillard is like
2?
30 minutes
Lemme see
there's also a bus lol
I assume walking a mile is like 2-3
Like a mile
Can you bike?
Veo lmao
Yes of course
A lot of ppl bike
I can’t ride a bike
i'll be at uva in like a week @hard ridge
So that’s off the table
I just hunt gotten round to buying one
pulling up
I’m staying over fall break
My buddy is going tmr to tour
so is my brother bro what is wrong with ya'll
The tours suck
My friends breaks aren’t same time and brother in boarding school
I’d rather go to CMU
No reason to go home
Wouldn’t recommend it
CMU is a great comp sci school
CMU has bad rep tho
Expensive as balls
I'm applying to CMU too but they have like a bad vibe apparently
And horrible culture imo
I meant tours not yours
Cs would pay off
Toxic
Oh
I mean
My friend and I both applying
Salty kids that didn’t get into mit
Can you pick a friend
If they get accepted
School doesn’t matter all that much for cs
^
For roommate?
Ye
Yes
Oh dope
U can pick anyone
FOR REAL
👀
You can pick ur gf
At CMU?
?
For CMU I got a friend who will prolly get in
My hall is coed
But girls r on other side
I hate the bathrooms at the dorm you're in
How does showering work @ UVA
And for some reason my key card works for their bathroom??????
Found out cuz my girl tried it wen she wa sober
You got one in ur room?
They’re not bad
I don't like them
Hell I could show u rn
No
Do a room tour
ive been in them
If ur in suites then kinda
Go general vc
In a sec
Can you pay for these?
Smh
why would you get a suite
