i use vue as well

#

im also the "head of IT" for aeteau university

strange gull
#

yeah I'd honestly advise against graduating early because that extra year is super important to be a competitive applicant (more aps, sat taking, extracurricular achievement, etc). the people ik who graduated early are cc bound, no tea no shade, but that wasn't what they wanted

little siren
#

And UF is just getting harder and harder to get into

native oak
#

God, I have a Tolerate/Despise relationship with SAP and Concur

median glacier
#

Yea the colleges knowing your reapplying and having to lock in graduating in advance changed thing

lofty raptor
#

i would

#

so yeah

#

i would basically go to CC as a dual enroll

#

for 2 years

little siren
lofty raptor
#

and yeah

strange gull
lofty raptor
#

btw

median glacier
#

Yea I don’t plan to take a step back onto my high school campus after this year

lofty raptor
#

i told a kid in uf discord "mods send him to FSU"

#

and he replied with this

median glacier
#

Yea now I can tell your 14

little siren
#

lmao

strange gull
#

real honestly and I'm not even uf bound

strange gull
lofty raptor
#

ok

median glacier
#

Wait were you accepted into UF or are you doing full time dual enrollment @lofty raptor

lofty raptor
#

which is surprizing

strange gull
lofty raptor
#

i thought i would get gator engineering tbh

median glacier
#

What even was the pathway you took to get to UF so early? Full time dual enrollment? FLVS spam?

lofty raptor
#

(gator engineering is a program where you do some time in jail santa fe and then transfer to UF guaranteed)

lofty raptor
#

and then go forward from there

#

tbh i would have done an extra year

median glacier
#

Bruh šŸ’€

lofty raptor
#

but i took the psat

#

and got a high enough score for national merit

#

and i cant delay benacquisto

#

so i was just about cooked

strange gull
lofty raptor
#

i had two options

#

1: delete the national merit and retake later

#

2: take the national merit and roll the dice

median glacier
#

Tbh if my 6th grade self went to high school I would bully him.

lofty raptor
#

i decided to roll le dice

lofty raptor
#

not FLVS but virtual

median glacier
#

Ohhh that makes sense now

little siren
#

that ruins the fun of school

lofty raptor
#

i actually had alot of fun

little siren
#

virtual is so bad

lofty raptor
#

i did NHS

#

i did martial arts

#

i had homeschool groups

#

i had church group

#

i was in a band

little siren
#

FLVS AP CSA worst thing I did

median glacier
#

You live in Gainesville correct your not dorming.

median glacier
#

And this is your 1st exposure to a traditional school environment.

lofty raptor
#

gtg byeee

little siren
#

yeah wut u even do when everyone’s on a very different maturity level than you

median glacier
#

I can picture this guys experience in my head before it even happens

median glacier
#

the home school kids transferring to traditional high school was already really bad for them I can’t imagine college on top of the age difference

little siren
#

like idk these are the prime years of our lives should be having fun with friends and stuff

#

not j grinding out college

#

and speedrunning life

little siren
median glacier
# little siren and speedrunning life

I agree with the maturity part but looking at his profile I can relate to him a bit, he seems to truly love computers and coding.He will likely have a good time in the classes he is taking. But socially this is a massive change, on the level of young Sheldon

little siren
sullen bobcat
#

You can't take 3504c without AP CSA. AP CSP won't cut it.

#

Sorry, you have to start from 3502c

median glacier
sullen bobcat
#

he's the CpE director

median glacier
sullen bobcat
#

he specifically said the edit part in the screenshot 1 yr ago to us.

#

from the discussions that I seen, butter will likely struggle with 3504c. better to take 3502/3503 route

median glacier
#

Yeah from what I understand 3502 isn’t necessarily just about Java and its syntax but covers general Computer Science concepts as well

lofty raptor
reef shuttle
lofty raptor
#

ill dm you my reason why

sullen bobcat
lofty raptor
#

this

#

that specific prof has a test to place in that specific class

median glacier
#

Can and should are different concepts

lofty raptor
#

good point

median glacier
#

Like I said Java is shitty language but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t learn it. It is very useful in Robotics and mobile development and you will learn the language of Oracle one of the largest enterprise cloud companies out there

sullen bobcat
median glacier
#

Also from the languages you have listed (Web and Python) it sounds like likely you haven’t really done anything low level yet which Java and C++ can help develop

sullen bobcat
#

GL with the test

median glacier
#

Spamming C++ and Python into one semester in a class that assumes proficiency in Java is likely not a good idea.

obtuse olive
lofty raptor
#

if it was my choice i would have stayed

#

i was also almost banned from uf minecraft but they voted to keep me

median glacier
#

@lofty raptor do you mind listing what languages exactly you have worked with?

obtuse olive
#

what???

#

bro got banned from uf furry server???

i feel bad for you butter

just wait til he finds out he can’t play in the sandbox with the other VVers

lofty raptor
#

what

#

i was informed i could join VV regardless of age

lofty raptor
strange gull
reef shuttle
lofty raptor
#

ive used scratch ofc
ive used sql as well
ive also coded basic python

#

im planning to spend the summer taking some coding classes so i'm not behind

#

i know the basics

#

by basics i mean

#

the methodology/idea of programming

#

i know the stuff that jobs look for

#

i also am a good problem solver

#

which is important for code

#

i just need to learn specific language syntax

median glacier
#

Yea bro do not skip Java, it’s not just for the Java language, but rather for Object Oriented Progamming, Type declaration etc, c ++is an entirely object oriented language

lofty raptor
#

how does that sound

#

i got from 6/7 to 8/1

#

to learn:

Java
C++
Python

#

not too hard

jaunty ingot
#

Java is light

median glacier
#

My point is that learning syntax is easy, however you may miss some important general comp sci concepts.

jaunty ingot
#

What do Comp Sci majors study

lofty raptor
#

ive taken 3 years of general programming

lofty raptor
#

but like

median glacier
lofty raptor
lofty raptor
jaunty ingot
#

Just curious since I’ve heard it was mostly theoretical topics so I’m just curious what it winds up being like

median glacier
lofty raptor
#

yes

#

honestly my biggest worry is calc

jaunty ingot
#

Is ML in the CS curriculum?

median glacier
#

Then you take a single ethics class before accepting a offer from Lockheed Martin

jaunty ingot
#

šŸ’”

#

Dealbreaker

median glacier
#

Also there’s a opportunity for a little bit of Electrical Engineering if you want which is kind of math, you learn circuts and computer logic

lofty raptor
#

its great

median glacier
#

And engineering statistics

lofty raptor
#

UF CS is amazing

median glacier
#

Bro you haven’t started stop glazing

lofty raptor
#
#

alright

#

now

#

bye

#

good night

little siren
strange gull
median glacier
# strange gull is this a joke

I agree with him. simply learning the syntax of a language really is not that hard. Learning memory safety and all of the various other things lower level languages come with is not

strange gull
#

i think you could learn the syntax and fundamentals, but you will be nowhere near proficient

strange gull
reef shuttle
strange gull
#

upvote

#

just stay fresh on one language and the fundamentals so ur not clueless

sullen bobcat
#

why do you want to take 3504c instead of 3502/3503? what's the rush?

median glacier
#

He believes he has the prerequisite knowledge needed for the course

sullen bobcat
#

there's one big benefit of 3504 but doesn't apply to a 14/15 yo.

median glacier
sullen bobcat
#

allows to take DSA in 2026 spring, which opens doors to SWE internships in 2026 summer.

#

being a 15 yo, companies won't hire him, unless he knows the CEO. If he has connections, he doesn't need DSA to begin with.

#

I have seen many kids struggle with the fast-paced 3504c. 1st semester with heavy course load will be a gigantic adjustment for any freshmen let alone a 14yo

median glacier
#

Yeah that’s another thing I was thinking even at 18 a job is going to be tough.

lavish night
#

learning other languages becomes easier then

dusty karma
#

@lofty raptor how did you schedule your classes like that

strange gull
lofty raptor
#

im set on 3504c though

#

so please no more discussion of this

median glacier
#

Alright man we’ll respect your wishes we want the best for you. just please know what you’re doing.

strange gull
#

I looked up what the fuss was about and damn icant you're cooked if you don't have cs experience, better use those office hours + tutoring for that class

sullen bobcat
# lofty raptor im set on 3504c though

ok. hope you ace the placement test and get in 3504 along with discrete and calc2. expect to spend 30+ hrs a week on these 3 courses. you have been warned.

strange gull
#

wait he's taking all that at the same time?

#

thoughts and prayers lil bro

lofty raptor
#

its only 13 creits bro

#

im taking 3504, discrete, calc2, and engineering design and society

strange gull
#

it's 13 hard credits... lmao

#

if you enjoy studying like bhemh said, great! do ur thing

lofty raptor
#

alr

sullen bobcat
# lofty raptor alr

FYI, my kid took 3504 + discrete + calc3 in her 1st semester. Calc3 is arguably easier than Calc2 at UF. She said Calc3 was the easiest of the 3. She didn't have much spare time in her 1st semester.

strange gull
#

is she the type to love the grind or was she like "I'll never do that again"

sullen bobcat
strange gull
#

oh . you know what hell yeah

sullen bobcat
strange gull
#

and she's in honors... lord she's cracked

lofty raptor
#

😭

#

sorry

#

but like

#

can you take calc3 if you dont know calc2?

sullen bobcat
#

no

lofty raptor
#

your confusing tediousness with how hard it is

#

it may be less tedious

#

but is it more hard

#

no not really

#

its like

#

algebra vs calc

#

sure calc is faster to do

sullen bobcat
#

FYI, calc2 at UF is known as the weed-out course

lofty raptor
#

but most people would rather do an algebra problem than a calc problem

sullen bobcat
#

I'm not suggesting calc3 is easier than calc2 in general. i was talking about at UF specifically

lofty raptor
#

ohhhh

#

but is that

#

is that less tedious or no

#

also should I wait to take calc2

sullen bobcat
#

UF made calc2 exams a lot harder than needed

lofty raptor
#

cuz ive heard i should take calc2 and discrete at the same time

sullen bobcat
strange gull
sullen bobcat
#

if you are talking about the advice given at CSU, you got confused. they never said it.

#

instead, they recommended to take 3504c with discrete.

lofty raptor
#

ohh

#

ok

median glacier
median glacier
lofty raptor
#

or should I do transient calc 2 at fau in the summer

#

or at my cc

median glacier
#

CC is going to be easier assuming I’m right about CC not having weed out classes

lofty raptor
#

cuz im set on 3504c

#

i have personal reasons to be in that class

sullen bobcat
#

I'm philosophyically against taking a less rigorous course from a different school. You got into the flagship school in FL. take courses at the best school. why go somewhere else?

sullen bobcat
#

if you can't survive a weedout course, you don't deserve it. (I know I'm being harsh)

strange gull
strange gull
median glacier
native oak
sullen bobcat
#

If my kid couldn't survive, I may have a totally different take. I may advise her to seek easy way out.

#

my bad. calc2 + 3504/3053 + discrete are all pre-req for DSA.

#

didn't think of calc2 pre-req because my kid had the AP credit.

#

so if your 1-yr goal is to complete DSA, then you have no other choice but to take 3504 + discrete + calc2.

median glacier
#

Is DSA a garunteed internship or something

sullen bobcat
#

oh wait, you can also take DSA in 2026 summer

strange gull
sullen bobcat
#

DSA is essentially required for any SW job

strange gull
#

it's data structures and algorithms

#

ugh I wish I was going to uf bc bhemh just knows everything šŸ’”

sullen bobcat
#

you will do just fine any where

strange gull
#

I hope so!! just need to find a mentor

sullen bobcat
#

join SWE (society of women engineers) and look for a potential mentor.

strange gull
#

noted! I'm also thinking of like. actually being active on social media so I can make friends early

native oak
#

One of the people I worked with at Disney and then my desk mate at universal are both quite at SWE

median glacier
#

Does UF have enough programmer baddies to go around or just dudes who need deodorant, Gender diversity in the program would be nice

lofty raptor
#

ok buddy

strange gull
median glacier
#

Hopefully it’s just less majors šŸ™

obtuse olive
#

wait actually that’s probably true lmao i forgot about reverse chain rule

strange gull
#

girl I forgot calc 1

obtuse olive
#

I’m gonna eat on this BC exam šŸ˜›

strange gull
#

good for you! I'll be starving

lofty raptor
#

my one year goal is DSA

#

for a summer internship

#

at 16

strange gull
#

why did you say "personal reasons" help

#

gatekeeping the goals

median glacier
#

Probably because he thought we were going to immediately shit on his goals given our criticism of his schedule. However butter that is not true

#

@lofty raptor I currently work a database management internship at 16 with a insurance company working in python and vue js. I did not need an algorithm class or whatever. you can just simply go at a regular pace and then apply for internships anyways

#

Let’s say you go down the rush route how are you going to have time to do internships with such a loaded schedule?

little siren
#

also u can j do codequest to get internship at lockheed

#

in highschool

median glacier
little siren
median glacier
#

also he isn’t technically a high schooler anymore

little siren
#

and then you get transitioned during college pretty sure

native oak
#

Professor chooses virtual class so my birthday gift is not taking the trek through pollen to class

median glacier
# little siren yeah but like faang

Screw that working with a smaller company I’m 90% sure I’m getting more hands on experience then FAANG interns, they have working on actual production AWS servers. S3, DynamoDB, Lamda, Red Hat enterprise etc.

little siren
#

fair

#

I j wanna be a quant

Looks like someone's brought up quant again!

I think it’d be better if you analyzed some grass instead.

im prob j gonna go to UF because its a lot cheaper and then try getting my masters at a feeder

median glacier
little siren
little siren
#

undergrad also a lot more competitive for top schools

#

ive gotten deferred/waitlisted everywhere but UF and I got USRP at UF

little siren
#

you just do research every single year basically

median glacier
#

What if I made a ChatGPT wrapper and apply to do machine learning research carlneutral

little siren
little siren
#

that program is more like your guranteed research and a mentor instead of having to find one I think

#

Just also write a really good UF Honors essay and include how you want to do research

#

your a sohpmore so I meaan you got a lot of time to work on your resume for college

native oak
median glacier

#

I mean I think everyone who gets into USRP is in Honors but idk if they are fully correlated

i spoke about research and didnt get it </3

she didnt get USRP

#

she got honors

strange gull

#

Ah I see what does lac mean

strange gull
#

liberal arts colleges, admitted to every single one i applied to (williams, amherst, swarthmore, wellesley, and hmc)

waiting on more decisions. i applied to 20 colleges so!

thank you! but i just got wl from vandy </3

lofty raptor
#

sorry

lofty raptor
#

are you in state for UF?

#

if so i would go the UF route

#

you cant beat free tuition

raw flame
#

regardless u have great options

raw flame
lofty raptor
#

oh alr

raw flame
#

but thankfully i got some money off

lofty raptor
#

how much?

raw flame
#

UF is acc cheaper than my state school rn lol

#

thxx

#

no honors tho but its alr

lofty raptor
#

yeah its fine

raw flame

#

so community-oriented and engaging

#

i loved it

lofty raptor
#

did you do a florida day event or nah

im debating between UF and UCF rn

raw flame
#

u cant go wrong with either tbh

lofty raptor
#

yeah

raw flame
#

idk much about UCF but ik its large and located within Orlando right

#

lots of things to do outside the classroom + prob a lot of internship/employment opportunities in the local area i assume

#

r both schools rlly cheap for u rn?

lofty raptor
#

yeah

#

i got full coa at both

raw flame
#

sry what does coa mean?

reef shuttle
#

his usage of the term doesnt really make sense though

how good is uf with oos financial aid?

#

i'm not hearing a lot of good things from ppl but i was wondering if i could get any info from the actual sources lol

#

@native oak @topaz stirrup maybe?

#

i have yet to receive my packages but tbh that may be bc i submitted late

median glacier
#

If you have any financial aid for at least semester I’m pretty sure qualify for instate after your 1st year at UF

wicked dagger
#

oop i was asking bc i didn't get my packages up until yday but i just received them haha

#

i'm a bit confused though i'm ngl is there anyone who could help me figure this out

wicked dagger
#

nvm figured it out!!

native oak
#

I woke up at 2pm and had a zoom meeting, so the brain is JUST waking up

stone peak
#

im between this and gt

reef shuttle
#

and cost differential between the two

stone peak
#

gt is math and uf is data science im instate for gt so ik bout hope and zell and it only costs about 6k to go to gt so yeah

#

im not sure about uf financially bc my package hasnt been finalized yet

median glacier
#

UF just got a brand new sexy Data Science building šŸ˜

reef shuttle
#

gt almost certainly seems to be the move, besides a math undergrad there will set you up well for DS masters programs which afaik are pretty favored by DS jobs

stone peak
#

i heard bout that

median glacier
#

Im a freak in the (excel) sheets for that building

reef shuttle
#

UF is getting a lot of data science funding but im not sure if that beats gt math

median glacier
#

Where is Toast from

reef shuttle
#

esp for so cheap

reef shuttle
#

so like...

median glacier
#

oh hell yeah go to GT man

stone peak
#

#

wait i forgot something

uf admitted me to honors but for gt honor program deffered me

honors just lets you take special classes and priority for some stuff thats it right?

actually

#

40k total across all 4 years

#

i cant afford

lofty raptor

so basically

#

unless i get hella finaid

#

i cant

tulip forge
#

scholarships

#

im feining for that UF spot

lofty raptor
#

tbh

#

i would write them a loci

tulip forge
#

its waitlist not defer tho

#

they dont want locis straight up

lofty raptor
#

oh

#

well i would just send it

#

and just say

tulip forge
#

waitlist just means hey man, you were a good enough candidate to get in UF

#

but we dont have enough space

lofty raptor
#

alr welp

#

i got waitlisted u miami

tulip forge
#

bro

#

its the first year UF has a waitlist too...

lofty raptor
#

i got in UF and waitlist UM

#

also UF apperantly admitted too many kids last year

tulip forge
#

theres no info on UF

#

no way

uhh gracie

lofty raptor

so i scheduled my tour

#

florida days 5

tulip forge
#

i didnt get paced

lofty raptor
#

the 14th

tulip forge
#

I just got waitlisted

median glacier
#

im pretty sure it was similar to waitlist

tulip forge
#

it means u take online classes for a year

topaz stirrup
tulip forge
#

and then go on campus

topaz stirrup
#

That’s a Friday right?

lofty raptor
#

no

topaz stirrup
#

Or no that’s a Monday

lofty raptor
#

monday

topaz stirrup
#

ok!

lofty raptor
#

yes

topaz stirrup
#

I prob won’t volunteer at it but yay :D

#

I might see you on campus..

wicked dagger
#

my finaid was all loans and honestly i can’t afford that

topaz stirrup
#

idrk, you should get at least some need based aid if you make <80k I think (but a lot of complex factors determine it)

#

You can appeal your aid, too

#

I’ve appealed my aid and been successful twice

wicked dagger
#

i mean i got 8k in need based

topaz stirrup
#

Oh that’s good

wicked dagger
#

and so i’d still have to pay like

topaz stirrup
#

But a drop in the bucket for oos

#

yeah..

wicked dagger
#

50k per year

#

for sure

topaz stirrup
#

???

#

Woah

#

50k per year?

#

how did u get that number

wicked dagger
#

well i think so..? would u mind if i dmed u my finaid stuff

#

so u can check

#

but i think that’s what it is

wicked dagger
#

okok hang on

topaz stirrup
#

oos tuition is roughly 28k/yr

#

so the only other expense would be housing (6k/yr at cheapest)

#

so the rest is a variable price

wicked dagger
#

i sent a friend request so i can forward u the ss ^^

topaz stirrup
#

like in my experience you can almost ALWAYS find a free way to get textbooks, food costs range really heavily

wicked dagger
#

right lol my teachers were talking ab that today

#

ab how they all found ways to get books for free when they were in school

topaz stirrup
#

yeah lol

#

the only thing I’ve paid for to access for a class has been adobe cloud

#

but even that i could’ve gotten for free if i did work on uf computers

bspwm worked on linux on my previous laptop a few years ago but i didn't use it this time

#

I... do no one specific programming thing

#

like I know a bit of JS, a bit of python/GDScript, bit of java, bit of C

#

I did try doing the Odin Project but I didn't go past the foundation levels (and that took a few weeks in and of itself)

#

anyway I'm not going to be a CS major so I should prob focus on python for my degree (Physics and Math most likely)

#

and matlab, mathematica, etc. ig

UF has a really good statistics program for that

The surprising thing about benacquisto was that nobody mentioned it to us, even though her high school has over 10 National Merit semifinalists each year.
We only discovered this scholarship after she applied to UF. It was completely unexpected. We stumbled upon it on the UF website and were shocked.

tired dawn
#

and i found out about it while eating dim sum

#

i spit out my dumpling in shock

#

"FULL RIDE TO A T30?!"

#

(note: i was scrolling on UF website looking for any scholarships and i saw this)

sullen bobcat
#

We found about it while eating at Reitz union during a campus visit.

tired dawn
#

i do have some other good news

#

im going to tour UF the 14th

#

as a florida day

#

im contacting a prof to see if I can sit in on a CS class that day (as I have already done the UF regular tour and the engineering tour)

#

the tour is mainly for my mom tbh

sullen bobcat
#

good idea

tired dawn
#

my mom also wants to stop by UCF and drive around so she can see how it looks as well

sullen bobcat
#

do you have a specific CS class/prof in mind?

tired dawn
#

we discussed this earlier

#

im taking COP 3504c so I can take DSA my second semester

sullen bobcat
#

I don't think DSA has a class on 4/14

tired dawn
#

im taking COP 3504c that day...

#

What does departmentally controlled mean?

#

Also, how can I make my first year calc class as small as possible?

sullen bobcat
#

only CISE advisor can register the class for you

#

Preview advisors can't

tired dawn
#

alr

sullen bobcat
#

CISE advisor will ask you for eligibility (4+ score on AP CS A). Then manually add you to the course/section registration. We didn't know, the preview advisor didn't know. It was a 2-hr nightmare on Preview day.

@sacred parcel is it acceptable to ask them if they are the a2gator

native oak
#

There’s literally only one of the people working that fits the description haha

#

Ask anyone in a blue polo if they’ve seen TG

#

That should help

#

Or ask at the info desk who you should ask about theme parks

#

TG is probably a more reliable method tho

tired dawn

whos TG?

is that like

your nickname?

It’s the default way I show up on most admissions communications in GroupMe so yeah just aboutšŸ˜†
