Purdue University (2024-2025)

[karmic parcel]

they wanted to make your life horrible

[sand aurora]

its whatever

that test sucked regardless

[pliant garnet]

🫂

i also died during that

bro the dude sitting to my right smelled so bad it was a struggle 😔

[sand aurora]

That's rough. It was definitely a cs person

[sinful viper]

chm256 exam destroyed me

[karmic parcel]

i aced the chem 115 exam

[onyx sequoia]

I have a dumb question. I'd like to do the math - cs major at purdue. on the website it says this: "Important note: When applying for any specialization within Mathematics, select “Mathematics” as your major. You will have the opportunity to specialize as you progress through the curriculum."
But on Common App I can select every math major, including math - cs. Is it bad if I do that? It's a bit hard to find more info about the program online.

Also it shows up in some places and not others, unlike other math + whatever majors

[supple sinew]

Applying EA!

also is the Indianapolis campus good for alternative major selection

[sinful viper]

nobody knows because it’s brand new, this year is the first year it’s running. with that being said every student here considers it as a branch campus and generally not worth going to, despite what the university itself is trying to push

[karmic parcel]

Thats a different school bro

[tulip harbor]

nah

i didnt even choose indy

didnt even want to be considered

[karmic parcel]

indy would be good if it wasnt so brand spanking new

dont wanna be a guinea pig for the education that matters

[supple sinew]

Fair

Ill move alternative major to main campus then

[sinful viper]

we dont do chancemes

[lucid flint]

oh my bad!!

[sand aurora]

Going off of what has already been said but Indy is essentially a branch campus. They are essentially brand new and everything is being constructed and developed now. The only reason why you would go to indy is if you want to do motorsports engineering or want a much smaller student population. Right now, west lafayette is where it's at cause most of the resources and clubs are all here

[supple sinew]

thanks!

i understand now

[pliant garnet]

how the hell havent i met u yet man

[sand aurora]

I mean this is a big campus and we live very busy lives. We should meet up. What dorm do you live in?

[pliant garnet]

mccutch

hbu

[pliant garnet]

nahnah im saying like we shud coordinate smth with all us a2cers

[sand aurora]

Damn, you on the edge of campus. I live in t block

[sand aurora]

I see. Honestly not a bad idea

[pliant garnet]

wait whats tblock

ive literaly never heard if it lol

is it an apartments?

[sand aurora]

Its tark

But we call it t block

[pliant garnet]

ohhhh

how is tark

is it as bad as ppl say

[sand aurora]

Compared to places like Winifred and Meredith south, it sucks. We are the least renovated building. But it's a great experience excluding the heat wave. It's character building and we have a great common area. Also good location.

[azure snow]

is getting cs acceptance hard at purdue

[sand aurora]

Yup

Its one of our most competitive majors

[azure snow]

😦

[sand aurora]

Not as hard as uiuc cs but still competitive

[azure snow]

whats acceptance rate like

[pliant garnet]

r u in state or oos

[sand aurora]

30 percent

For 2023

[azure snow]

oos

[pliant garnet]

what do u mean my character building lol
cuz ive heard 3 tark ppl say that so far lmao

[pliant garnet]

technically, 30%, but the in state acc rate inflated it

[azure snow]

oh ok

[sand aurora]

In state acceptance rate to Purdue is like 75% of something lol

[azure snow]

what parts of ur app does purdue value mroe

[azure snow]

oh dang

[pliant garnet]

check the cds, cuz were not rly sure abt that

[azure snow]

im new to this sry, what is cds?

[pliant garnet]

oops mb, the common dataset

lemme just screenshot and send

[sand aurora]

Lol. We bond over a shared experience and no ac and what not. Also, people are more likely to leave their doors open, especially in the beginning of the year. So great way to meet new people and see what people are up to. Also a lot of the stupid things happen here

[azure snow]

if you lmk where i can access it thatll be great

for future reference

[sand aurora]

Just type in purdue common data set

[azure snow]

ok bet

[sand aurora]

It should show up on google

[azure snow]

ohhh got it

thx

[pliant garnet]

here u go

[sand aurora]

Not sure if it's up to date for class of 28 data

But it's accurate within the last 2 years

[eager kelp]

Isn’t demonstrated interest on there aswell

[pliant garnet]

OH SHOOT THEY REMOVED IT?!

dammmm

[eager kelp]

BRO NO CHANCE

I’m gonna email my admissions counselor

[eager kelp]

I’m litterallly maxing it out no way they remove it

[pliant garnet]

[eager kelp]

I need thattt

Didn’t Purdue have a took where you could check the ar for every major

Or am I tripping

Like it was like a graph or something

[sand aurora]

There may be something out there but I have never heard of purdue having one

[eager kelp]

ah okay

[sinful viper]

there was one for college but not major as far as im aware

[onyx sequoia]

How competitive is the math major to get into? Especially as a second choice?

[eager kelp]

ah okay thank you

for the polytechnic school how much do you think the acceptance rate varies by major?

[karmic parcel]

its gonna go down

[fringe gyro]

how similar can the 1st choice and 2nd choice major essays be? i'm applying to closely related majors, but idk if the AOs read all of the essays at once

so

[sinful viper]

from my understanding they evaluate you for your first choice, and if you dont make the cut for that then they'll look at your second choice

so i imagine if theyre similar it'll be fine. just make sure to have specific reasons for why for both of them

[fringe gyro]

ok

[tiny hemlock]

doesn’t purude offer full ride to intls

[marble meadow]

Does "Math Circle" still exist at Purdue? It's on the department of Math website (https://www.math.purdue.edu/outreach/circle/), but I don't see it in the Student Organization Catalog (https://boilerlink.purdue.edu/organizations).

Also, in general, can you join student organizations that are not from your deparment? I'm interested in CS at the College of Science, but I've been doing Math Circles at my high school (for middle schoolers) and would love to do an analogous version at Purdue for high schoolers. :D

[pliant garnet]

I’m not sure about math circle, but yeah u can join any organization u want

[marble meadow]

Got it, thanks! I’ll do some more digging for math circle lol

[fringe gyro]

should i bother writing the honors colege essay

[sinful viper]

hey, theres a list of pros/cons about the honors college pinned. if you have any additional questions feel feee to ask!! im in the honors college and ive really enjoyed it so far

[fringe gyro]

sounds good

i read up more abt it and ill probably abstain from writing the essays, it seems a scholarship is not guaranteed for it

[frank parcel]

Math circle does not exist anymore :(
i know this because i also wanted to contribute to this supposed math circle x_x

[sand aurora]

Better housing is the main pro of it

[sinful viper]

easier access to opportunities is an unspoken pro

[marble meadow]

Oh no :( thanks for lmk anyway I guess

[drifting lintel]

Is it true that most dorms at Purdue don’t have AC?

I stayed at the honors college this summer and they had ACs but I heard the other dorms don’t

[pliant garnet]

some do some dont

like mccutcheon harrison meredith honors etc do

wiley tark owen etc dont

but u dont need it after the first 2-3 weeks, since it starts to get cold

i havent used mine in like 2 weeks

[karmic parcel]

my dorm does not have ac

its not that bad

maybe the first few weeks are a bit bad

but if youre from somewhere that has ever been hot and humid, its like that

afterwards, its just not that bad

[drifting lintel]

I see

[karmic parcel]

with a fan, its essentially like having ac

[drifting lintel]

I’m just not used to the concept of cold weather

[karmic parcel]

the cold weather is not that bad if youre prepared

[drifting lintel]

I never really understood how some places don’t have ACs

[karmic parcel]

and since youll be inside buildings

itll be fine

[drifting lintel]

Mk

[karmic parcel]

you do not want ac blasting when its less than 40 degrees

that is horribly cold

[drifting lintel]

Yea that’s true

[pliant garnet]

wait where r u from

[drifting lintel]

I used to live in NC and Georgia

[pliant garnet]

ah

doesnt it get cold there?

[drifting lintel]

Not really

It’s so humid

Like I had to wear shorts and t shirts in early march

It only gets cold in the western parts bc that’s where the mountains are

Climate change is messing everything up rn so it could be different

[sand aurora]

Most have ac

I live in non ac and you definitely need a fan

Unless you used to no fans or ac

You will probably use it until mid September

The funny thing during the heat wave was ac people were complaining about it being too cool while the non ac people were suffering

At first, it will suck but you get used to it

If anything, living with no ac makes the community friendship much stronger

[sinful viper]

older buildings that havent been renovated to have AC

every single person ive spoken to says that not having AC only isnt great through september and otherwise its fine and not needed because itll start getting cold

i cant speak on personal experiences because ive lived with AC both of my years now but 🤷‍♀️

[sand aurora]

They turned on the heat today in tark

I felt it while in the bathroom

[fringe gyro]

Does Purdue admit by Major?

I know UIUC does, is it the same with Purdue?

[pliant garnet]

Mostly yes

Except for engineering

[raw pebble]

Can someone at Purdue confirm if undergrad NE students operate the PUR-1 reactor

Or if it’s only research

[meager holly]

any idea how to write an alternate major essay for FYE? I mainly wanted to do computer engineering and not too interested in the others. (first choice cs)

[raw pebble]

Plz purduvians

[quiet sorrel]

Is it worth it to apply to the honors college

[pliant garnet]

I would say yes

If ur willing to write the essays

[sand aurora]

if you want good housing, then yes

especially cause the housing crisis is only getting worse

[karmic parcel]

when you come in, already have apartments in mind

[sinful viper]

best to start looking for apts in like sept if you want an apt over UR

[karmic parcel]

i did not heed your warning

now i am freakig out cause of it

[sinful viper]

just take a deep breath, it'll all be okay

the numbers definitely seem a little scary, and it's okay to be a bit worried, I am too.

There is about 8k beds, and probably an expected 11k students going for UR housing if the numbers are similar to last year. That'll leave 3k students out of luck in UR housing, but that doesn't mean all hope is lost. Truthfully the lottery might scare more people into apartment hunting right now because they're worried about getting a slot. The good news is that if you make it through the lottery (and I'm reading the emails correctly), you will get UR housing. Last year was very scary because there was no guarentee you would get housing just because you were able to access the portal, this year will be different in that aspect.

I know a lot of people got into housing off of the waitlist last year, so it's not impossible. The most I can offer you right now is to start looking for potential apartments/find roommates for potential apartments in case UR housing doesn't work in your favor.

[pliant garnet]

R u in favor of lottery system or do u think the previous system was better

[drifting lintel]

Anyone else stuck on the honors college supplement

[sinful viper]

as an upperclassman id have preferred the old system but i can see why people would prefer this one

a lot of anxiety with housing last year was the uncertainty and knowing so late

i secured housing like the week before thanksgiving but thats way too late to get an apartment

this year youll know oct 28 which is much better

[karmic parcel]

hopefully

[finite rover]

@sinful viper

I added Purdue to my list like 2 days ago and honestly the essays seem like way too much 😭 and honors makes up more than half so idk if I should do it

[sinful viper]

imo its definately worth it (depending on your goals)

[finite rover]

For most colleges, honors just has better dorms and early registration. Early registration doesn't matter too much for me but I'd be willing to do the essays for better dorms

[sinful viper]

the essays seem long, but I found them pretty easy to write and I was able to reuse some content from my other essays

the honors housing is the best housing on campus imo

you only get it for freshman year but it is leagues better than the other dorms

let me see if i have a picture of my room last year

this was my half and there was a good bit not shown behind me with the closets

[finite rover]

Oh wow

I'm gonna do the 1k words then ig

Oh also, how hard is it to double major inside the College of Science (I'm applying first choice CS, second choice fye but I want to ultimately do bioinformatics so the bio majors interest me)

[sinful viper]

in terms of being allowed to do it, since you'd be trying to add bio it wouldnt be too difficult

the act of actually doing it is a lot. bio degrees are very stem heavy. there are 4 semesters of chem, 4 of bio prereqs, 2 of physics. some of your CS credits would definitely overlap but unless you're coming in with a lot of credits you'd have to heavily overload and do summer classes and shit if you wanted to graduate in 4 years

if you dont mind staying 5 years or whatever then it wouldnt be an issue

[finite rover]

I have an AA from a florida CC...would that help?

[sinful viper]

let me find something for you

[sinful viper]

https://selfservice.mypurdue.purdue.edu/prod/bzwtxcrd.p_select_info you can use this and see how the credits would transfer. i know its a little nitpicky with taking cc classes but im sure at least some will come through and definately help you out, especially with like geneds.

if you've taken AP chem, AP bio, physics C, Calc AB/BC those will also all be very useful to help you out with adding the degree

[finite rover]

I've taken all except chem, thanks lemme check!

I kinda hated honors chem...how bad is chem at Purdue 😭

[sinful viper]

truthfully im on my third semester of chem rn and ive enjoyed orgo for the life sciences

genchem was rough, even with taking ap chem

but if you dont add bio right away you'll probs be taking a different chem then I did which might be kinder to you LOL

or you might be able to enroll in 129 anyways

[finite rover]

:/

Alright

[sinful viper]

the orgo professors though

i can not praise enough

theyve been really great

im in orgo 2 rn

[finite rover]

Oh wow

Everyone says orgo is hard

[lethal remnant]

Can you just drop out of the honors college after a year, if that's the only time you get the good housing

I'm guessing there's a lot of useless/annoying classes as well

[sinful viper]

it can be, but the orgo profs in the bio department are wonderful.

[sinful viper]

yep

[sinful viper]

just 2, and theyre both only 1 credit 8 week courses. you have to get 24 honors credits but theres really easy ways to get them that arent HONR courses

you can contract any course (make an agreement with the prof to do a bit of extra work and get honors for it), honors sections, research for credit counts, and so does any level 500 course which all degrees require a few anyways

ill be done with my honors credits by the end of this year i think

and then your scholarly
project but thats whatever

[pliant garnet]

Yes the honors dorms are rly rly nice

[limpid rampart]

For the exploratory studies on the common app, what does the Area of interest matter? Does it change what courses I'd take?

I couldn't figure it out online

I'm mainly trying to figure out of I should put engineering or technolkogy

[sinful viper]

i imagine it just helps you get into those intro classes that are technically major locked since the point of exploratory is to explore and you cant do that without access to those classes

[limpid rampart]

Welp

It does not help that my main 2 interests is CompSci and Eng

[sinful viper]

@pliant garnet @tulip harbor did yall go to starry nigh

[tulip harbor]

No did you

I’m at a party right now

[pliant garnet]

Wait no what’s that

[sinful viper]

yeah it was fun

[sinful viper]

festival down in chauncey

[vocal solar]

hii

so I was wondering, what specifically do yall like about purdue? what's off campus life like?

aand I'd like to do research in my undergrad, if possible. Does Purdue have any reasonable avenues for this?

[sinful viper]

purdue is actually huge advocate on undergrad research

[vocal solar]

oh? 👀 what does that look like

[sinful viper]

its different for different departments but i found my research through the honors college

they called it a matchmaking fair

[vocal solar]

ooh I see

is that only for honors college people?

[sinful viper]

and it was kinda like speeddating but i got that arranged spring of freshman hear

that yes, but other departments do diffwrent things

[vocal solar]

I see

[sinful viper]

ik people met their PI through like a semimar class thay arranged speakers

[vocal solar]

👀 oh that's cool

[sinful viper]

or they saught help via the department of undergrad research

[vocal solar]

honestly I'm liking purdue more and more the more I hear about it

hopefully I get in 🥺

[sinful viper]

as far as off campus life its pretty rural but theres def still things nearby

tonight thwre was a festival basically on campus which is fun

im not really into partying so i cant talk about that

[sinful viper]

what major?

[vocal solar]

I see

[vocal solar]

CS haha

my second choice is physics

I'd really really like to do research

[vocal solar]

how hard was it to make friends?

are the people generally friendly?

[vocal solar]

campus events like this seem pretty fun

I definitely want to go somewhere with a solid school culture

[sinful viper]

i got really lucky and met my core friendgroup online beforehand including my boyfriend LOL

but my other friends ive made through clubs and stuff

so i didnt think it was too difficult

[vocal solar]

oh I see

fair enough

[sinful viper]

it doesnt happen super often but it is a thing 😎

[tulip harbor]

Hey

Are you still at Chauncey

I drank too much and fell asleep

[sinful viper]

no im back in taybfs room

[sinful viper]

oops lol

[tulip harbor]

A lot of people form friendships groups through BGR

[tulip harbor]

Awesome

[sinful viper]

this too

[vocal solar]

BGR? 👀

[sinful viper]

orientation

[vocal solar]

oh found it

[tulip harbor]

It’s the orientation program at purdue

[vocal solar]

that seems cool

[tulip harbor]

it’s worth I’d say

[sinful viper]

its advertised as one of the best orientation programs in the country LOL

[tulip harbor]

I just wasn’t lucky

[sinful viper]

idk how true it is but bgr is a must

[tulip harbor]

I found my friend group here lmfao

Like A2C

Degenerate I know

[sinful viper]

also @vocal solar its defo worth going for honors imo

[vocal solar]

yeah I'll apply, at least

[sinful viper]

i met mine on insta

so

LOL

[tulip harbor]

I just dragged all the A2C Purdue commits into a group chat and half of us became close fiends

[tulip harbor]

My failed talking stage I found on the gram

[vocal solar]

I'm not sure what my shots are at getting accepted in the first place though, especially since it's CS, and I come from a competitive school district 😔

[tulip harbor]

I told you right

[tulip harbor]

Where you from?

Bay?

[sinful viper]

always worth trying

[sinful viper]

yeah

[tulip harbor]

Yes agree

[vocal solar]

northern virginia lol, D.C suburbs

[tulip harbor]

Just apply EA @vocal solar

[vocal solar]

yeah, I'm doing EA

[tulip harbor]

And you’ll be fine I believe

[sinful viper]

always try to EA publics

[tulip harbor]

RD is tough

[vocal solar]

yeah I've heard as much

[sinful viper]

and do honors college

we’re cool

[vocal solar]

gotcha

[tulip harbor]

If you have the time. I sure didn’t

[sinful viper]

i TA the honors seminar

[vocal solar]

I'm pretty great, so i'll probably be fine

[sinful viper]

its not extra time

[vocal solar]

hopefully 🥴

[tulip harbor]

For context I have a friend that got into Cambridge and CMU for engineering but waitlisted Purdue RD

[sinful viper]

its only technically 2 extra 1 credit classes

[tulip harbor]

No like the essay

[vocal solar]

oh what 😭

I know someone who got into purdue RD, but they were rejected from CMU

[tulip harbor]

Eh Purdue RD is harder

[vocal solar]

I see

[tulip harbor]

I also know Caltech admit Purdue RD waitlist

[vocal solar]

it's because spots fill up, isn't it?

[sinful viper]

oh i tgought they were chill but im jist really passionate about psychobiology

LOL

[tulip harbor]

I would say so

[vocal solar]

I see

[sinful viper]

interdisciplinary education is so cool

[tulip harbor]

I was so burnt out man

[vocal solar]

oh, how hard is it to dual major?

[tulip harbor]

Depends how interdisciplinary we’re talking

[tulip harbor]

Depends on the major

I know CS math majors

[vocal solar]

I was thinking I could do like, Philosophy + CS.

[tulip harbor]

And CS physics

[vocal solar]

or linguistics + CS

[tulip harbor]

That’s gon be hard

[vocal solar]

fr

[tulip harbor]

Try UIUC

[sinful viper]

you could do degree plus

[vocal solar]

yeah I'm applying there 👀

[tulip harbor]

CS and Phil I’ve only heard from Oxford

[sinful viper]

so it would only be an extra year i think

[tulip harbor]

If you wanna try

[vocal solar]

their CS-X programs are pretty great

[vocal solar]

😭

[vocal solar]

I see

[tulip harbor]

Does engineering have that

[sinful viper]

im planning on doubling if i get the RA posistion

[sinful viper]

all do i think

https://cla.purdue.edu/undergradci/degreeplus/index.html

[tulip harbor]

Thanks

[vocal solar]

btw, what's your major?

[tulip harbor]

Oh fuck it’s 5 year

[tulip harbor]

It’s in my name

FYE

[vocal solar]

oh, lol

[tulip harbor]

but I’ll be specializing in ME

[vocal solar]

that's pretty hard isn't it 👀 good luck

[tulip harbor]

Thanks

It’s alright

I wanna add a math minor for fun

[vocal solar]

lolol

alright then, I need to finish up my essays

thanks for the advice and insight yall

[tulip harbor]

Good luck bro

[vocal solar]

hopefully I'll get in 🥺

[tulip harbor]

Dm me for help if you want

I’ll try to help if I have time

[vocal solar]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!!

[pliant garnet]

yea 100%

[tulip harbor]

Look up EURO and FTR

[vocal solar]

I will, thanks!

[raw pebble]

I had to glaze tf out of undergrad research for the honors essay

[lethal remnant]

Yeah I still gotta write my honors essays

How bad can they possibly be

[sinful viper]

i didnt think they were bad at all tbh

[raw pebble]

They are not bad at all

I actually fw Purdue heavy after really basic research into the school

So I just kinda talked

[finite rover]

Bro ikr like I took it off my list but it kept popping up and convincing me to apply 😭

Purdue is actually so good

[raw pebble]

My counselor shit talked it so hard I’m not gonna hold u

She does not fw Indiana

[finite rover]

I don't talk to my counselor about the colleges I'm applying to cuz lowkey she only thinks the Florida ones are valid 😭

[raw pebble]

Nah mine is a W

But she just doesn’t like Indiana

[finite rover]

Indiana was the reason I took it off my list

It is my cheapest out of state option

[sinful viper]

so real so true

[raw pebble]

Fact checked by real Purduvian patriots ✅

Real Boiler Makers

[finite rover]

Nah why is the mascot Boilermaker

What does that mean

That's almost as bad as Vanderbilt 😭

[onyx sequoia]

What I learned was that there was a football game where Purdue destroyed another team

And the team got mad and put in the newspaper “Purdue’s big burly boilermakers beat so-and-so 49-0 (or whatever)”

Boilermakers being the big strong guys who worked at the railroad, not actual students

[finite rover]

Ohh

Interesting

So it's like Yankee?

[sinful viper]

our mascots are confusing we generally just say purdue pete / trains

[finite rover]

i'm on the fema declared disasters list but didn't actually have any damage, should/can i still select this?

for reference, i qualify for a waiver for georgia tech

[lethal remnant]

I think you can

Given how it's written I probably wouldn't, since it implies you've been directly affected, but I think it's defensible

I really hope they like my second honor's college essay

I didn't follow their hint at all and kind of just yapped about whatever I wanted to

[sinful viper]

which one was that one/what did you write about? you can DM if you dont wanna share im just curious & im pretty involved in the honors college LOL

[finite rover]

Yeah idk, I want the fee waiver but I'm not sure if I really count as a "victim"

I am in the red here

[lethal remnant]

Yeah that's valid, I'm not happy about spending the fee either haha

I would probably just do it

[lethal remnant]

Only $500/year for nmf is crazy though

Like why even have that

Is it ok to reference other essays

Like for my why major essay I talk about the research I've done, and if I could reference that in my four pillars essay for the honors college that would be nice

[meager holly]

shuold purdue's "why major" essay have anything about the school since there's already a "why purdue" essay

[pliant garnet]

idk about in general, but my why major essay also included how the schol specifically will help with my majors, and opportunities for my major

[sinful viper]

they won’t get read by the same person so i wouldn’t reference other essays

[lethal remnant]

Oooh that's true

I forget that the honors college is it's own separate thing

[lethal remnant]

Wait

So do they only consider your honors college essays if you are initially accepted?

Or are they considered as a part of regular admissions as well

[sinful viper]

they are seperate admissions. so yes, they wont look at your honors college essays unless you get into the school itsself

meaning you can get into purdue but not honors

[tulip harbor]

ive only met one person that got into purdue but not honors

[sinful viper]

i knew a few actually

but theres deff a good bit of self selection bias in actually applying for honors

a lot of ppl dont bother bc they dont wanna write the essay so the people who apply are usually 1) very qualified and 2) actually want it

[lethal remnant]

Ah ok sounds good. Tbh I think my honors college essays are better than my regular essays but I'll survive

[sand aurora]

I wrote my purdue application 2 days before the ea date so I ended up not applying to honors

[west pollen]

when purdue apps due

oh wait its 1st nov i thought they had a diff date

[lethal remnant]

Nope

[nimble kraken]

For purdue's supplementals, they give you a why us and a why major. Is there any point then in mentioning certain aspects about purdue in my why major essay if I'm already talking about all the opportunities for my major in the why us essay?

[sinful viper]

what other reasons aside from your major? personally i didnt mention anything about my major in the why purdue, i ended up talking about clubs but they also gave you a longer word count

lmao this is actually so bad how did this get me in

i wont even be taking viruses and viral diseases because the professor sucks ASS

[nimble kraken]

Well cs is part of my niche I'm trying to convey in why purdue

addressing clubs is only one aspect of the why us

there's also research institutions and cs classes

for ex. I want to combine my passion of music with CS, particularly with AI since my ECs align with those

so i said i wanted to join the AIM lab which utilizes machine learning tools that optimize practice sessions

[sinful viper]

which is very valid, 100 words vs 250 words is a large enough difference. i would probably recap on the opportunities, i wouldnt be shocked if different people read different essays in regards to your application, but if you have multiple things maybe shift some of the "why major" stuff in your "why us" essay over to make more room for other things in why us

[nimble kraken]

Actually that's a good solution

thanks

[tulip harbor]

im in fye but for why us i wrote about the research a purdue prof does and the aamb (you can also talk about the clubs). for why major i just talked about a specific field that i was interested in.

[warped hornet]

can i send you both of my honors ones? i am planning to apply this friday when i get my october sat results

[sinful viper]

hi, absolutely!

[warped hornet]

thank you! i'll send them in DMs soon

[sand aurora]

Look into the data mine learning community

You could yap about that

I yapped about epics somewhere in my application and now I'm in it

[tulip harbor]

I did not yap about it but i still got in

honestly purdue EA isn't that hard

[finite rover]

what abt honors

[tulip harbor]

i didnt apply

but shouldnt be hard if you make the effort

[finite rover]

alright

[pliant garnet]

data mine my beloved 🙏

id recommend datamine over honors (im not biased at all)

[raw pebble]

I glazed the fuck out of PUR-1

Plz let me in for dat 🙏

[sand aurora]

For engineering, it's definitely getting harder. I know a bunch of people, including myself who were deferred

[tulip harbor]

Oh mb

[sinful viper]

you can do both 🧠

[pliant garnet]

whaaaaaaat

rly???

[sinful viper]

mhm

[pliant garnet]

oooh i shudve 😔

[sinful viper]

i didnt realize until it was too late either lol

otherwise id have applied for wisp

i enjoy honors though so its an all well moment

[sand aurora]

Ur good

The point i was trying to make to current applicants is purdue engineering isn't a safety

Cause a lot of people think that it is

[karmic parcel]

i thought it was

thought uiuc was a safety

theres a reason im not there

[raw pebble]

Both are pretty good targets

But UIUC if you're compsci you're cooked

[karmic parcel]

reaches

[raw pebble]

I would disagree honestly

[karmic parcel]

things getting spicy nowadays

[raw pebble]

Some guy in the UIUC channel really didn't like my reasoning but some majors at UIUC have had relatively high acceptance rates for the past few years

[karmic parcel]

things are chaninging

maybe

[raw pebble]

Like

[karmic parcel]

idk how much to trust the word of the purdue overlords

[raw pebble]

I can give you the major I'm applying to as an example

[karmic parcel]

they say theyre reducing the acceptance rate overall

for this application season

[raw pebble]

@karmic parcel

All out of state

[karmic parcel]

like i said

things are changing this application season

[raw pebble]

Oh really

I just saw

Where did you hear this

[karmic parcel]

yea, idk how much purdue actually gonna act on it

[karmic parcel]

purdue

but they tryna reduce acceptance rates

and engineering might reduce

we shall see

could just be a bunch of malarky

[tulip harbor]

it was mine lol but i also didnt know how selective it was

[sand aurora]

They have been reducing the overall acceptance rate, but the yield is going up

[pliant garnet]

this year is gonna be the hardest app cycle of all time

for all schools, but especially purdue

[raw pebble]

Bruh

R u cereal

[pliant garnet]

yes

starting next year (this years juniors) theyll have it easier

[raw pebble]

I actually fw purdue really heavy so if yall reject me I'm gonna be a little annoyed

[raw pebble]

Why

[pliant garnet]

praying for u 🙏

[pliant garnet]

08 stock market crash

less kids, more value of money, less value of college among parents

etc etc

[raw pebble]

Yo fock the market

[pliant garnet]

theres like an nyt article on it or smth, but i lost it 😔

[vocal solar]

what SAT did yall have?

people in engineering, ideally

[karmic parcel]

ive seen folks with 1100 to like 1600 at purdue engineering

[vocal solar]

I see

I've got a 1480 right now, waiting for october scores to come in

honestly not sure how to feel about my score

what about high school GPAs?

mine isn't amaazing, but I do have an upwards trend and a pretty challenging course rigor.

[karmic parcel]

youll be fine

[karmic parcel]

just have like above a 3.5

its all about how you rpesent yourself in the application

[vocal solar]

I see

do you have any tips?

[sinful viper]

this is true

[karmic parcel]

the numbers alone wont save you

[sinful viper]

i know my freshman year the AR had dropped from googles 60-some% to like 50%

[karmic parcel]

you gotta hae somethign tangible

[sinful viper]

and i know that bc i got an email from the university lmao

[vocal solar]

😭

what did yall decide to write your personal statements on, and how did you get there?

[karmic parcel]

that shit took way too long

my ideas switched

[vocal solar]

I know im having a terrible time 😩

[karmic parcel]

and changed

[sinful viper]

supposedly the overall oos acceptance rate is 45%

[karmic parcel]

over a course of 6 motnhs

[vocal solar]

I see

I can manage that hopefully 🥺

[sinful viper]

i wrote my personal statement about cross country

[karmic parcel]

i wrote about covid being ass for me

[vocal solar]

I kind of feel like mine is all over the place, im not really sure how I like it

[karmic parcel]

a sob story and a little light at the end of the tunnel

[sinful viper]

it will be lower if you want cs/eng or anything competitive. its evened out with the liberal arts and other easier to get into majors

[vocal solar]

I see

[sinful viper]

mine was a revenge story

it was so silly

[vocal solar]

one of my ideas was to write about my browser tabs on my phone, and sort of use them as a way to discern my character

[pliant garnet]

wow

thats insane

[vocal solar]

it's not really a story type thing though, so that's worrying me.

[karmic parcel]

halved in 4 years

[pliant garnet]

i wrote about roly polies and squirrels in my backyard

[vocal solar]

lmao, I assume AI comes under the engineering school, yeah?

[pliant garnet]

nah its under the dept of cs

in college of science

[vocal solar]

oh I see

is it similar in competitiveness to CS?

[sinful viper]

it will continue to drop im sure. im hoping purdue locks tf in with actually dropping it this year to account for the higher yield so housing isnt screwed overrr

[pliant garnet]

not nearly as much as cs, but its not un-competitive

[vocal solar]

I see

[pliant garnet]

its also rly hard to tell how compettive it is cuz its so new and small

[sinful viper]

the ai building looks really nice

i walk by it a few times a week

[pliant garnet]

ikrrr i need the housing

[sinful viper]

i kinda wanna go in and poke around

[pliant garnet]

yeahh the inside has like a silicon valley startup office feel

but the outside is nice brick and mortar

[sinful viper]

stop me too 😭 hoping and praying RA works out. my roommate for next year is also applying to be an RA so i hope we both get it so that we dont abaondon the other in whatever apartment/dorm we're in

[vocal solar]

aight

I am so getting in

[karmic parcel]

we aint gonna be the ones who reap the benefits of the housing

[karmic parcel]

im tryna be an RA

[pliant garnet]

tark here i come 😔

[sinful viper]

best of luck!

[pliant garnet]

glgl 🙏

[sinful viper]

if you get lucky enough to stay in UR, you probs wont be in tark unless you end up becoming an RA

[karmic parcel]

yea, was not planning on doing that until next year

[vocal solar]

I know someone who got in RD, they had a 4.3W and a 1520 or something, I think.

[karmic parcel]

but yknow its just how the river rolls

[pliant garnet]

OH is tark mainly for freshmen?

[sand aurora]

1520 was my superscore. I got 800 on math

[sinful viper]

yes

[pliant garnet]

yessssssss

phew

[vocal solar]

oh I see

[sinful viper]

for sure for sure, i wanted to my freshman year but i self-handicap so i ended up not applying but i locked in this year

[vocal solar]

hopefully october turns out well 🥺

[sinful viper]

chances arent 0, but they usually reserve it for freshman

owen, tark, wiley are all predominately freshman

[pliant garnet]

yay :D

[sinful viper]

others may be considered 'upper division' or 'lower division' but its not super majority

[pliant garnet]

cuz id mentally resigned myself to tark/owen

[sinful viper]

like technically windsor is upper division and mostly for upperclassman but we have lots of freshman here this year

i mean

[sand aurora]

There are a couple of sophomores in tark

[sinful viper]

sit on it

if you get housing

and the only option is tark

take it

because it will be cheap

[sand aurora]

I know someone in tark who rooms with a junior

[sinful viper]

and you will be on campus

[sand aurora]

The ghetto life is great. Great location, people, and low price

[sinful viper]

it def happens, not saying it doesnt. but its not that common

dont be picky when it comes to UR housing, be grateful that you get to stay

yk

like if i end up in wiley/owen/meredith its not ideal but i will take it

but traditionally wiley is all male so idk the odds of that happening for me

[karmic parcel]

i just want cary

cary south

[sinful viper]

i want windsor again

i love windsor

[karmic parcel]

my dorm room type

its cheap and spacious

[sand aurora]

Is it actually

I thought it was coed

[sinful viper]

yeah

i think this is maybe its first, or second year being co-ed

but in previous years it was all male

[sand aurora]

Oh

That's a fun fact

[sinful viper]

the all male dorms were honors north, tark, wiley, and cary while the all female dorms were honors south, meredith, meredith south and windsor

[sand aurora]

Isn't mccutcheon also all male

[sinful viper]

but wiley is currently co-ed and theres one guy room in honors south which is so silly

yes i forgot about mccutcheon

[sand aurora]

Or was it coed at some point

[sand aurora]

Lol

[sinful viper]

i just dont pay as much attnetion to the all male dorms bc

yk

🧍‍♀️

[sand aurora]

Fair

[pliant garnet]

lmao

[sinful viper]

i miss honors sometimes

[karmic parcel]

no

[sinful viper]

my RA sucked

but

[pliant garnet]

wait mccutch is coed?

[karmic parcel]

no

[sand aurora]

My RA does not care at all

[sinful viper]

mine like didnt tell us about anything, literally didnt do her job, and was borderline homophobic and as a bisexual girly that was just

mine this year is way better

[sand aurora]

Oh. That's rough

[karmic parcel]

my RA is chill

[sinful viper]

like i didnt learn that hall club was a thing until this year

???

bc mine just never said anythig

and there was other stuff too

but

i digress

not my problem anymore

unless i miraculously get RA in honors south

[sand aurora]

I have no clue what our hall club does

Or if it even runs

[sinful viper]

its just kinda like

they plan events for the whole hall

im involved with hall club, its fun

ik hillenbrands took them to kings island

[sand aurora]

Nice

[sinful viper]

windsor and meredith combine and do a winter formal

lego night is popular

we just had a buildabear and plant event

[sand aurora]

I heard tark and Meredith do a dance

[sinful viper]

sounds about right

[sand aurora]

I think there is a UR field trip going there this weekend

[sinful viper]

it very much depends on whose on the board but im sad that i didnt know about honors

[sinful viper]

so jealous

id love to go

[sand aurora]

They are also going to six flags

[sinful viper]

but alas im stuck on campus

im doing pumpkin painting though with an org im in

so thats something at least

[sand aurora]

That's cool

[sinful viper]

not fair

[sand aurora]

On top of that, they made it a lottery system to go on the trip

What is with this university and lotteries. The freshman football passport was a lottery, the amusement park trips were also lotteries, and housing is now a lottery

[sinful viper]

so fun..

[sand aurora]

Got to love purdue

[karmic parcel]

gotta get folks addicted to gambling

[pliant garnet]

gambling is banned in indiana

unless its for housing ofc, then its perfectly legal

[lethal remnant]

Lol I saw the photo of them condemning gambling on sports right next to telling you to enter the housing lottery

[finite rover]

Taking Purdue off my list 😡

[pliant garnet]

😔

If u do Econ then u can legally gamble (invest in the stock market)

[finite rover]

I prefer putting all my net worth on green and spinning the wheel

[dusk nymph]

damn

[vocal solar]

ok so

I just got my sat scores, it's a 1490, is it...well, I know the application has more to it, but it is decent enough?

I was really hoping for a 1500+ 😭

[sinful viper]

that should be fine :)

[drifting lintel]

Anyone have some examples for the honors college essays 🙏

[karmic parcel]

a 1490 is beyond well for here

i aint even get that close sat wise

[vocal solar]

yeah but I'm cs 😭isn't it a lot more competitive

[karmic parcel]

im engineering

its as compettive, maybe more

[vocal solar]

I see

[karmic parcel]

maybe i was just cracked, but my 1410 suffcoded

you shouldnt worry

[vocal solar]

I'll try not to 🥺

[meager holly]

I'm super confused about how to write the why major essay for purdue for FYE. I have a specific engineering major in mind (Computer engineering) so should i talk about that mostly or engienering as a whole?

[digital aspen]

Yeah same here, anyone know?

[tacit python]

i hate that we have to write another essay if we chose an alternative major

[supple sinew]

But OOS is kinda cracked isn't it

[tacit python]

if i apply for a not-so competitive alternate major but extremely competitive first major, would there be any chances of atleast getting the alternate

[karmic parcel]

I'm from a small ass state

That helps

[sinful viper]

yep. theyre looked at independently. if they decide you dont get your first choice then they will look at your second choice and evaluate from there

[onyx sequoia]

I’m writing about CompE specifically but I’m not sure if it’s the right move

[vocal solar]

so I'm currently in the midst of writing my "why purdue" essay, I've mentioned a handful of things that are academic in nature (e.g I mentioned research opportunities provided by EURO, and PurPL) - I'm looking for things that aren't as academic in nature now, though, and might be more unique to Purdue. I know that it's a very diverse school, which I'm a fan of, since I'm from an ethnic background myself, and I feel like it'd prevent me from feeling alienated. I also know there's a loot of student organizations, and I'd like to know some more about those and which ones are cool/interesting.

[onyx sequoia]

I think there’s a website

https://boilerlink.purdue.edu/organizations

I found a couple I liked and mentioned why I like them

[vocal solar]

would you recommend picking an alternative major?

to be honest, I'd rather study CS at a safety school than not study CS at purdue

I was thinking of putting physics as my alternate

physics or math

[sinful viper]

if you'd rather do this then i dont see a reason to put an altnerative major down

[vocal solar]

gotcha, thanks.

[vocal solar]

can CS majors do research under EURO?

[pliant garnet]

euro?

[lethal remnant]

What are something things you guys don't like about Purdue?

Besides the housing situation 💀

[vocal solar]

engineering undergraduate research office

[pliant garnet]

im not sure about that

but if ur engineering

look into VIP

its research for credit

[pliant garnet]

the fact its in indiana

tho i havent rly felt it yet

its still in indiana lol

[lethal remnant]

That's fair haha

Is it just the distance away from everything?

[pliant garnet]

not rly

i dont got a car

and everything i need is off campus

just like the fact that im in Nowhere, Indiana is off putting to a bunch understandably

[raw pebble]

How is parking?

I'm going to get a car so I'd prefer if there's decent student parking

[pliant garnet]

uhhh

no idea

dont have one 😔

[lethal remnant]

Yeah that's fair

Honestly not having to drive sounds like a dream

I'm sick of it ngl

[vocal solar]

nah, cs

[pliant garnet]

check out datamine VIP

[vocal solar]

I'll look into it, thanks

[supple sinew]

i cant seem to find this online but whats the deadline for when the school needs to send in transcripts for EA

because i have just screwed up big time

[supple sinew]

because i have to send my transcript through a online website, and rn its locked until nov 4th so i cannot request transcript. If the deadline is like 2 weeks after Nov 1 i can still send it in

[bright slate]

does purdue superscore?

[pliant garnet]

yepsters

https://www.admissions.purdue.edu/apply/criteriafreshmen.php

[bright slate]

phew ok thanks

also should i send my ap scores to purdue? do they even consider those for admissions?

[whole junco]

ap scores are only sent for college credit after you get accepted im pretty sure

[vocal solar]

omg purdue has such a pretty campus

[sinful viper]

te food sucks

[sinful viper]

bad

[sinful viper]

the vast majority of things youll need you can find on campus or get to via the bus system

[pliant garnet]

yeaaa :D

[sinful viper]

campus is peak though

horticulture gardens my beloved

[drifting pike]

fr i remember walking down a road and seeing some old boiler thing in a glass display in a building

[pliant garnet]

i rly wanna check those out someday

[sinful viper]

so pretty, would recommend

[pliant garnet]

is it a greenhouse?

wait no

[sinful viper]

its just an outdoor garden

[pliant garnet]

its horticulutre park lol, horticulture gardens is just some greenshouse

[sinful viper]

nope

[pliant garnet]

ooooh theyre rly close

[sinful viper]

the gardens is outside

the park is a trail out by mccutcheon

[pliant garnet]

im in mccutch, so ill def check it out

ty!!

[sinful viper]

the park is pretty but the gardens are prettier

park is >> tho

taybf and i do a lot of walks over there

[lethal remnant]

Oh ngl that's sad to hear

I hoped at least the honor's college would have good food

[sinful viper]

it doesnt work like that

the honors students have the same food as everyone else

[lethal remnant]

Ah rip

What makes it bad?

[sinful viper]

bland, poorly cooked

[lethal remnant]

Yikes

Are you forced to buy a meal plan or can you cook for yourself

If I can cook for myself I'm chilling

[sinful viper]

you need to get a meal plan if you live in UR

[vocal solar]

are there kitchens in the dorms?

I know there won't be any per room, but is it like a per floor/per building type thing?

also how are the dorms in general?

[lethal remnant]

UR?

That is definitely unfortunate though

[raw pebble]

R u fr

I can't be driving around n shit

[pliant garnet]

per building

at least in mine

[pliant garnet]

they range from rly good, to rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly rly bad

[vocal solar]

lmfao ok

[sinful viper]

depends

[sinful viper]

university residences

[sinful viper]

also depends

[vocal solar]

lolol, gotcha

[sinful viper]

if your okay with parking far away its not too bad

[vocal solar]

do people tend to get apartments and stuff after freshman year?

[sinful viper]

a good amount, yeah

[pliant garnet]

we may even be forced to 😔

[raw pebble]

Like how far we talking

[finite rover]

How long do the essays take btw? If anyone's written them 😭

[raw pebble]

I'm applying to honors so if I assume I get that housing

[sinful viper]

edge of campus by mcchutch

[raw pebble]

Will the parking be not so bad

[finite rover]

I have 2 schools to do before nov 1 still 😔😔😔

[sinful viper]

its like a 10’minite walk from honors

[raw pebble]

Oh not bad at all

[sinful viper]

theres street parking on russel but its competitive

[finite rover]

Do u need a car?

[raw pebble]

How much is parking?

[finite rover]

For Purdue?

[sinful viper]

nah

[finite rover]

How much work to get to airport?

[sinful viper]

uhh reshall pass is 250 a year i think?

[raw pebble]

Oh WTF

[sinful viper]

you could walk there, it’s kinda far but

[sinful viper]

maybe less idk i don’t t’énerver

[raw pebble]

Most places its like 60-100 a month (other than U-M which is 200 a month)

[sinful viper]

remember

[finite rover]

LMAO

[raw pebble]

That's fire

🔥

[finite rover]

No like

Is there a bus or something?

[sinful viper]

you won’t be getting a pass as a freshman

[sinful viper]

yeah

[finite rover]

That goes to airport?

[raw pebble]

Oh

[pliant garnet]

purdue has ur own airport

[raw pebble]

Are you fr

[pliant garnet]

has a flight to chicago

[sinful viper]

oh to the airport idk

like the purdue one?

[raw pebble]

No parking pass as a freshman sucks

[sinful viper]

there’s buses to ohare and shit

[raw pebble]

Do they enforce it

[pliant garnet]

theres also a bus for free to purdue indianapolis, and then uber to aiport

[sinful viper]

it’s possible but not likely it’s usually like you work off campus

[pliant garnet]

or shuttles to chicago aiport

[raw pebble]

Like we'd need a valid reason

[sinful viper]

why do you need one lol

[finite rover]

So I'd need to take a connecting flight to my location

[raw pebble]

To need parking

[raw pebble]

I want somewhere to park my car

New York parking sucks

[sinful viper]

yes and they don’t save a lot of spots for freshman

[raw pebble]

Super expensive

[sinful viper]

why do you need your car here

[raw pebble]

^

[sinful viper]

idt they would take that as a valid reason tbh

[finite rover]

Oh ok, I thought Chicago was kinda far?

[raw pebble]

That's kind of annoying

[sinful viper]

it’s like a 2.5 hour drive

[raw pebble]

Is it easier to get one after freshman year?

[finite rover]

Oh damn

[pliant garnet]

theres an airport in indianapolis that i use, i like it cuz its small and goes direct to where i needa go

[sinful viper]

anything you need is a bus ride or walk away

[pliant garnet]

but there are shuttles to chicago

[finite rover]

Idk how the north looks tbh

[sinful viper]

its fine i promise

you’ll survive without a car

[finite rover]

Alr

[sinful viper]

ehhh

[raw pebble]

Well it's more of like

[sinful viper]

it was a nasty fight to get one this year

[raw pebble]

Idk it's complicated

[raw pebble]

Oh fr

[sinful viper]

it’ll probably be worse next year

yes

i was in line for over an hour

[raw pebble]

Can you like

Use someone else's parking permit

[finite rover]

Did Purdue over-enroll or smth?

[raw pebble]

Idk bro I'm coping

LOL

[sinful viper]

if they add your car sure but only one car on campus per permit at a time

[raw pebble]

Oh fr

[pliant garnet]

yes

[sinful viper]

you’ll be fine without a parking pass i promise 💀

[finite rover]

All the cali kids migrating I bet

[raw pebble]

We'll see

I will fight for a permit

With all I have.

🙏

[pliant garnet]

nah

IU protests made ppl commit to purdue instead

[raw pebble]

IU?

Oh

[pliant garnet]

indiana university

[raw pebble]

Indiana U

Yep

[finite rover]

There can't be that many people in indiana

[raw pebble]

Fr

[sinful viper]

not just IU

[finite rover]

Like 3 right?

[pliant garnet]

yeah

[raw pebble]

I believe it's more than 3

Just a thought

[pliant garnet]

mung specifically referenced IU

[finite rover]

4?

[sinful viper]

yield in general was higher than expected due to palestine protests

[raw pebble]

Maybe more than 4

Is Purdue riot free

[sinful viper]

but the reason isn’t really relevant

[sinful viper]

i feel safe here

[raw pebble]

My school in New York got encampments cuz ppl came up from Columbia

[pliant garnet]

i havent seen any protests on campus yet

[finite rover]

Did Columbia have lower yield then?

[raw pebble]

It was low k bummy but at least we had online school

[pliant garnet]

but tay can speak on it better

[sinful viper]

i mean irs columbia so probably not

[raw pebble]

It's quiet probably

The town itself

[finite rover]

True

[sinful viper]

it is

[raw pebble]

Low key I want a college town that gets cold in the winter / snows

[sinful viper]

there was a palestine protest last semester but it was very peaceful

it was more of a sit-in type of thing

i signed their petition

[finite rover]

I thought Gainesville was cold am I cooked 💀💀💀

[sinful viper]

yes

it’s going to start dropping so bad

[finite rover]

😭

[pliant garnet]

yeahh there was one a few weeks ago, they just marched and put a bunch of fflags on a lawn

[finite rover]

I'm a florida man

[sinful viper]

i think last winter the temp dropped to a feels like of -35

[finite rover]

WHAT

[pliant garnet]

D:

[sinful viper]

yeah outside of lilly and the hillel

[raw pebble]

Does it snow

[raw pebble]

This is what I'm looking for

[sinful viper]

yeah it snows

[raw pebble]

If it snows and gets cold

You got me hooked

[sinful viper]

you should definitely walk under the math building then when it’s windy

[raw pebble]

I'm gonna be doing ROTC so I can't wait to see what they make us do in the middle of winter

Shenanigans for sure

[finite rover]

@pliant garnet how is AI as a major? I was considering it but just afraid it wouldn't be as recognized as CS

[pliant garnet]

im just a freshman, so im not into the ai curriculum yet, but also no one is since its so new
its in the dept of cs in the college of science, so administratively i would suppose its the same
but perception wise, its rly weird

current students see it as a scam or jumping on a bandwagon

[finite rover]

Oh ok

[vocal solar]

based

[pliant garnet]

but cs professionals and researchers see it as a rly good and worthwile major that will def pay off

Wait if it's in dept of cs then no point of applying for it for second choice right? Because if I get rejected from CS, I'd prob get rejected from AI?

AI is fake they're gonna turn it off

[vocal solar]

what do you do in AI?

[raw pebble]

E = mc^2 + AI

You are the constant in that equation

[pliant garnet]

[finite rover]

I like how this implies AI = 0

[pliant garnet]

first 2 years is simlar to cs

[raw pebble]

Yea

It's a sign

Cuz they're gonna turn it off

[pliant garnet]

but its python based

instead of like C or smth

[vocal solar]

because to be honest I'm not that interested in AI, my big thing is being able to take more theory based CS courses.

[pliant garnet]

[vocal solar]

3rd and 4th year its more ai oriented
