average cs major looking down on liberal arts

lofty raptor

grr liberal arts 🤓

#

stem and business rule nerd

strange gull
#

and willing to bet a good $1 that at least 70% of uf are non-engineering/non-business

#

omg and clas is probably mostly stem too... bc of the pre-meds going in for like . bio and chem .

lofty raptor
#

yes i know

#

but

lofty raptor
#

is it not obvious that its a joke

#

or am i that stupid

topaz stirrup
#

I think most people are in warrington

#

they have like 2k ish more than CALS

#

CALS offers the most majors though

#

Wait no

#

I just misspelled the acronym

#

💀

#

CLAS reports 12.5k, warrington 8k, CALS 6k

I had a plant science advisor telling me to take 8:30 am classes even though I lived off campus so I figured out I could change the classes through the next day so I went in and changed it up after the meeting.

Said advisor also said Disney didn’t recruit many engineers.

I saw her at open house in the fall and she recognized me and she asked how I’d been doing and if I’d gotten to do any internships.

Imagine the smile I had to smother/school when I told her I in fact had interned with Walt Disney Imagineering that past summer.

…tbh this

Oh my gosh yes get it done early

But

#

Selection bias goes hardstyle here

#

There is no way 44% of kids got accepted - even out of A2Cers

#

28% deferred my ass

strange gull
#

its not an overall guess... just meant to survey how many people here (that voted) got in smile

topaz stirrup
#

Wow that’s bad though

#

I’m grateful that my preview was better

sullen bobcat
#

Our issue with Preview was (1) the Preview advisor didn't know how to register departmentally controlled courses and (2) courses/sections in plan A, plan B and plan C all had 0 seats available. In retrospect, should have picked a later Preview day, when advisors know what to do.

#

so i got into uf and honors and i am planning on going to the engineering day in march

#

is there any reason i should go to one of the honors campus tours?

#

i am still waiting on other schools

sullen bobcat
#

if you are already planning to visit UF, why not?

pseudo orbit
#

it would be a completly different day

#

and im in miami so its not an easy trip

sullen bobcat
#

if you are not coming to GNV, then attend the Honors virtual session

pseudo orbit
#

whats gnv>'

#

and are there any recordings of the honors session earlier this month

sullen bobcat
#

last yr, we didn't go to any of the admitted student events (Floriday Day, GEE-day, Honors). Didn't miss much

#

we attended several virtual sessions

pseudo orbit
#

sounds good, do you know anything about the honors makerspace

#

it seemed interesting but there is no info on it

sullen bobcat
#

It's in the 1st fl of HV2

#

last time I was there (10/2024), it was not operational

pseudo orbit
#

its just a curiosity thing

obtuse olive
#

Late to this but good game

sullen bobcat
#

i'll ask. but you can see makerspace from outside of HV2. It's in the west end of HV2

Dude trust me don’t go to ucf over uf

now that ive done more research, i'm heavily leaning toward uf, but ucf is nice

#

Deadass no one’s gonna know wtf ucf is other than the metro Orlando area and Florida

obtuse olive
#

internships tho...

wind patrol
#

If u got hopes of making it out of Florida and work in a top tech company like in the bay area or in nyc, going to ucf gonna restrict that

#

UNLESS

obtuse olive
#

internships mean more than school name when ur tryna get a job

You are beyond cracked and can get onto the ucf competitive team

#

for coding

#

Those mfs have offers from like jump trading and other quant firms

uf going to be way better for cs

like on god

If you want nationwide recognition, go to uf

# strange gull no idea how to get on uf roommate matching

imo, it's not really advantageous to pair a roommate in Feb, when most didn't commit to UF. I suggest you wait till you are committed to UF in March/April.

  1. If you find a pair but go to a different school, it's a disservice to the other student.
  2. you are likely to find a roommate similar to you (waiting for other school decisions)

they made me fill out a whole profile

am I cooked roommate wise if I have literally no social media presence

reef shuttle
#

ive done it twice now and both times went swell

#

the people who try to find a roommate on instagram are scary tbh

obtuse spindle
#

ppl are shallow nowadays from my experience they think u r a serial killer or something if u dont have a social media presence at all

calm moon
#

u can put as many photos and stuff

obtuse spindle
#

start grinding that snapscore lil bro 🙏

calm moon
#

so u don’t have to have any posts on your account

#

snap is trash

obtuse spindle
#

everyone uses snap

#

like literally everyone

calm moon
#

wtf

obtuse spindle
#

ngmi if u dont have it

calm moon
#

nobody I know does

obtuse spindle
#

even the ppl without any social media have snap

calm moon
#

well nobody I know uses it as much as they use ig

obtuse spindle
#

💀

reef shuttle
#

i hate snap so much

#

probably going to purge my account and delete it

obtuse spindle
#

idk why but ppl act like you killed their dog if u dont have a snap account so i need to make one at some point

calm moon
#

using snap makes me feel like a middle schooler again

#

i use it occasionally but like

#

not daily

reef shuttle
#

insta gets the job done only bops use snap

obtuse olive

who wanrs to room at ucf!!!!

send me some Seminole aura

so I get in.

i pick my housing thursday morning

strange gull
obtuse spindle
#

ngl i think the most based discussion happens on twitter

reef shuttle
#

thankfully admissions is thursday afternoon

obtuse spindle
#

like my instagram feed is actually just slop my twitter feed makes me laugh

obtuse olive
#

On a thursday feels devious

reef shuttle
#

because if i get fucked over in housing ill need to make a few phone calls begging and pleading

calm moon
#

oh

#

that’s what I thought

#

yeah their phones r gonna be flooded

reef shuttle
#

we have like a 14% AR for out of state students but you got dis

topaz stirrup
obtuse spindle
#

y do random state schools have 0% OOS AR like who do u think u are

obtuse spindle
#

i respect UT because even though their OOS AR is cooked somehow they're still T30 despite 75% of their class being autoadmits from cooked schools that can barely do a derivative or complete the square

reef shuttle
#

which yknow have an intrinsic interest in educating people within the state that the school is located

obtuse spindle
#

nah this weird entitlement that u have no obligation to educate ppl from other states is weird as fuck to me

#

universities should be admitting people purely on meritocracy

reef shuttle
obtuse olive
#

taxpayer money goes to our state schools. i think it’s fair to prioritize in state kids at least a little provided that they are decently comparable to oos

reef shuttle
#

by virtue of how the united states was chartered each state has a relatively high degree of control over its own affairs outside of what is explicitly enumerated to the federal government

obtuse olive
#

i do not believe in auto admit for any reason tbh

reef shuttle
#

that includes education

obtuse spindle
strange gull
lofty raptor
strange gull
#

bro got that r/chanceme doom mindset on my ass

obtuse spindle
reef shuttle
reef shuttle
#

hence their interest in admitting oos students

sullen bobcat
#

Insta is not a must

#

Your parents can also find other parents looking for their daughters roommate. I saw many moms matching their kids in FB

reef shuttle
#

just make sure your mom isnt delulu, thats what one of my summer roommates moms did and he is NOT having a good time

sullen bobcat
#

But again, it's too early to contemplate these things, where you didn't even commit to UF.

reef shuttle
obtuse spindle
#

do ppl find their roommates on insta

i thought they just used housing lottery

GL with other decisions. You got this!

hazy shuttle
lofty raptor
#

generative AI always said defer

obtuse spindle
#

chatgpt is based

#

o1 and o3 are actually very good at rating shit

hazy shuttle
#

you heard it here first. ChatGPT knows what decision AOs will give you 🔥🔥

obtuse spindle
#

i don't think aos know what decision you'll get either

#

most schools probably use an algorithm nowadays

#

definitely publics because of the volume of applicants they get

#

UNC and UT have already completely automated their admissions processes

#

💀

sullen bobcat
#

I don't know about AO. But I am 100% convinced that many companies use AI to determine which internship applicants make the 1st cut.

#

I doubt HR staff has the time to review thousands of applications for 1 position.

hazy shuttle
obtuse spindle
#

UT's process was made completely public in 2014 and the only human part was essay/ec review

#

the final decision is made by plotting applicants onto a matrix with ones in certain cells getting in

hazy shuttle
obtuse spindle
sullen bobcat
hazy shuttle
obtuse spindle
#

AI here means academic index and PAI is personal achievement index

sullen bobcat
#

that doesn't sound like "completely automated"

obtuse spindle
#

personal achievement index was human scored back then but i read an article stating they use AI to review this now but that might've just been UNC idk

sullen bobcat
#

ofc, no human will add up scores.

obtuse spindle
#

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is using AI to automatically score the writing quality of application essays, The Daily Tar Heel reported on Monday. According to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, it uses artificial intelligence tools to evaluate the grammar and writing style of essays, which are used to judge admission to [...

#

ok it's not published whether UT uses it or not for the PAI

sullen bobcat
#

isn't "liason" in your screenshot = human?

calm moon
#

they 100% have the funds to pay enough people

obtuse spindle
calm moon
#

for there to be a human looking at each app

obtuse spindle
#

so ig it isn't automated but computerized

strange gull
#

tbh if it's just calculations it makes sense to have a computer do it instead of people

obtuse spindle
#

but it basically has the same effect because they dont review applications individually aside from the PAI review

#

the liaison basically just determines the cutoffs

#

idk how they account for context

#

apparently the PAI does

#

but like for example if you had a huge drop in ur gpa for 1 semester due to some unfortunate event ur AI is still going to be ultra cooked regardless of how much of a boost they give to ur PAI

sullen bobcat
#

If you think from AO's perspective, they will not use AI to make all the decisions. They are risking their own existence.

Just read a nice tip regarding dorm room selection.

Most incoming students will end up choosing a double room during May room selection period.
Unfortunately, double rooms with 2 available beds can be taken by a single (who is not paired). It's practically impossible to force a single to be limited to a double room with only 1 bed available.
Once the double room with 2 available beds is taken by a single, this double room will only have 1 available bed, which means paired students cannot select it. This was a big issue last year. Practically, on Day 2, there were practically no double room with 2 beds available. So all the pairs had to split up and pick 2 different rooms.

A mom suggested, if one wants a good double room, it may be strategically better to not to pair. You will have more room selection options but you risk not knowing who the roommate is.

#

For admitted honors student, a mom explained what the admitted Honors student event was like:

"we went on the admitted honor student tour Monday. It was very informative. The first part was an honors presentation, then we went on a general 90 minute campus tour and then we got to see honors village. We didn’t get to see the hv dorm rooms, but we got to see the community areas. My daughter is really glad she went and it definitely is helping with her decision."

hi so i just got an admissions letter from uf saying i got accepted but i didnt even apply?? im so confused

#

they have the right address and everything

#

does anyone know why or has this happened to anyone else?

sullen bobcat
#

did you also receive an email?

severe rapids
#

just the physical letter, folder, and flag thing

sullen bobcat
#

perhaps UF sent the snail mail to a wrong address

severe rapids
#

yeahh thats what i was thinking too but it has my full name

sullen bobcat
#

if you didn't apply to UF, ignore this mail

severe rapids
#

alrightt thanks

reef shuttle
#

we get random assignment based on building choice

sullen bobcat
#

at uf, students select their rooms. it's NOT assigned

reef shuttle
#

manual selection for returning students

reef shuttle
sullen bobcat
#

there's no random pairing done by UF

#

it's like a course registration. good sections/rooms get taken 1st by students with early appointment

reef shuttle
#

i didn’t know my fall dorm until like 6 weeks before we started

wind patrol
#

Y’all think the honors dorms will be all filled up before late march?

#

I haven’t decided if I want to go to UF yet but don’t wanna risk not getting housing 😭

strange gull

i dont even think they open housing until march

#

i lied! room selection opens in may

they will pair all the young kids at ucf together

strange gull

they said "call back in an hour lmao you so stupid short"

topaz stirrup

#

the national merit full ride

#

has to be started in the fall immediately passing your graduation

#

or you lose it

#

im gonna try to take a gap year

strange gull
#

why are you taking a gap year?

lofty raptor
#

im 14

#

and like

#

15 years old is way too young

#

but 16 is ok

strange gull
#

...that's it? 😭

lofty raptor
#

thats it

#

nothing more

#

nothing less

#

that is all

strange gull
#

i mean if you have some big plans for the gap year, that'd be... better?

lofty raptor
#

during the gap year i will work full time at a government agency or non profit

#

40 hours a week

#

thats my big plan

strange gull
#

oh so you have the job?

lofty raptor
#

no

#

not yet

#

i will apply later

#

but like

#

its one year

#

idk yet

strange gull
#

might want to have a backup plan smile

lofty raptor
#

backup plan is to sit on couch and watch netflix all year

#

maybe i can watch half of one piece by the end of the year!

strange gull
#

definitely discuss that plan w ur mom bc my dad would put me through the wall if I took a gap year to do nothing

lofty raptor
#

that was my moms plan

#

not mine

#

she didnt say netflix per say

#

she said like

#

get a job

#

do some projects

#

etc

#

but like

#

yeah

strange gull
#

...yeah so that wasn't her plan then!

#

I just imagine she'd be quite displeased if you didn't get a job and ended up doing literally nothing for a year

lofty raptor
#

yeah ik

#

i was kidding

obtuse olive
#

use the year to get your AA

#

and then graduate college at 17

lofty raptor
#

bro

#

if i do that

#

i will have more then 11 credits

and i will be a transfer

strange gull

yeahhh so maybe passion project is the way to go

topaz stirrup

Idk depends on the project

strange gull

it's better than doing NOTHING for a year 😭

also in this case it might not be something to slap on a resume, just do something to keep ur mind active

if i did that

#

i would just enroll full time at Florida Poly

its like 10 minutes away from uf HQ

also possible that a FL kid graduated from an oos prep/boarding school. he is not eligible for BF.

semi unrelated but its honestly really unfortunate how many high schools dont drill bright futures in heavy, ive talked to people about to graduate and when i ask them if theyre on bf they either look at me confused or just say idk

Posting this here for some non-bias answers.

FSU or UCF - Data Science Major

Hello. Currently I am waiting on UF for regular decision, but need to make a second choice option.

My major Data Science at FSU is a masters degree only, so I would have to take one of the pathways to get there and UCF it is a bachelors program.

My real problem here is do I go to a school which is more prestigous overall, or go to UCF where I got 14k scholarship and they have my major.

Any answers help. Thanks.

reef shuttle
#

majors like math, stats, and CS are common pathways to a graduate program in data science

#

you’ll certainly be more knowledgeable on data science than i am, so my question is if a bachelors degree in DS would mean you don’t need to get the masters in it?

#

or do you do masters either way

empty frigate
#

For FSU: These are the major pathways they have on their website.

#
  • Computer Science
  • Computer Programming and applications
  • Scientific Computing
  • Statistics
#

Right now I am signed up for stats at FSU, but want to do one of the middle ones but wasnt on Common App

empty frigate
reef shuttle
#

in that case i think the undergraduate major isn’t too important and i’d focus on cost… is the UCF scholarship 14k per year or 14k total

empty frigate
#

Its 14k total. I have BF and florida prepaid, so cost is not the biggest worry to me overall

reef shuttle
#

i think i would lean FSU here if the campus environment is your style

#

i personally preferred it to UCF as it’s a lot more compact, almost half as many students, and more “quintessential college experience” if you wanna call it that

#

but i would for sure look into program strength at each school, courses available, etc

empty frigate
#

Yeah I see that. Hopefully I get into UF that I dont have to make this decision but thank you for your help.

Florida leans right of course but I’ve found that most students lean left because it is of course a university

if you’re worried about that

i wouldnt recommend coming to florida if youre trans, but otherwise politics hasnt changed much if anything
