Summer of ‘24 i spent travelling and enjoying myself
yeah
Because hs is over and I have no worries
But if you want to get a ahead go for it
cause i need to send my ap score to my cc too
so i can take the clas
nevermin then
Mmm
Ooops
If you really really want
Uh
You can take it during spring
But that seems like a lot of work
enjoy your time
They take IB, lemme send the link
YESSSSSS
TAKE CALC 2 AND RUN ITS SO BAD
THE EXAM AVERAGES ARE AN 52 AND HES NOT GONNA CURVE IT
Only credit i get is MA 165 for HLAA
Is that good or bad
That’s calc 1?
Damn it
Calc 2 is horrendous
It’s THE weed out class
I’m being weeded out rn 
What r the calc 2 topics
wait if im doing multi/linear w/ DE r/now do i still have to do in college
or if the stupid credits dont transfer
Do we gotta take it if we get 5 on BC
Check their website
nah 5 on bc fixes it
u can check here: https://selfservice.mypurdue.purdue.edu/prod/bzwtxcrd.p_select_info
Bet
evil, dasterly, demonic things
calc 2 is a class that makes or breaks a mf
ive only heard bad things
literally not a single good thing
this aint even an exaggeration
well now thats more motivation to do well on the BC exam for me then
bro if i didnt do well on calc bc, it woulda been over
can confirm, I’m in calc 2 rn
fire
papadue
yes u shudve 😔
if u decide to go to purdue, try ur best to take calc 2 thru community college
its rly bad
It was either calc ab and AP physics c or calc bc and honors physics
I couldn’t fit calc bc in 😭
Q: what % of Purdue incoming engineering freshmen come with AP Physics C and AP Calc BC transfer credits?
over or under 30%?
under?
A lot of kids start with calc 2 and phys 172
i dont think they release that
but empirically, id say def under 30%
might be cooked
I take it back I was not fine
i did bc the year before this year
but physics is still cooking me
What math are you on now
multi/linear
from your observations, what % would you say? 15%?
Oh nice
What do you wanna do at Purdue?
much easier cuz 1. all our quizzes are group and 2. notecards on test
Bruh
cs 😭 💀
genuinely no idea
Jealous
but def not a lot
Right
😔
Yeah cs is only up to linear
sorry purdude no ai
And then you’re good
Based
cs and then adding ai is a lot weirder than ai then adding cs
Interesting
i need that FAANG cs job with big bucks (mcdonalds is calling)
cuz of all the ethics 🤢 and psych 🤮 courses
Ew
who needs those anyways 🙄
eeeew (i did ap psych last year)
oh no u need a loooot of psych/phil for ai
very annoying
cs is better in that way
._.
yappin about what makes something self-conscious and its implications and whatnot?
kinda
more like ethics/biases, neural networks, societal implications
all that stuff
ew
but i need all the gpa padding i can get
grateful for my history course next sem 😔
What is it
history of ai
OHHHH
Did you pick that or do you have to take it
grade inflation my beloved
solves my "great issues in science" gen ed requirement
Mfw I have to write for my history class
(i will have to write a lot for that class)
but its taught by a former yale prof
yale is notorious for its insane grade inflation 🙏
what history r u taking rn?
Modern Japan
I don’t know
whats its course num
gimme a sec
hist 344
nice
that is bad right
Is calc 2 separated for specific majors or does everyone have to take it as a prerequisite
nah not rly
wdym
ok yeah a little
cooked
wut?
Like is there separate classes for engineering majors
nah
there kinda is? but its more between non science and science people
there is like calc2 for business or smth
like theres 'applied calculus 2' and those are for psych/ polytechnic majors people
Sigh I guess I’ll have to thug it out in calc 2 🥲
yeah that
bruh
All I need to do is take calc 2 and then I’m done
yes
🙏🙏
whats your top choice shawn
wait what major?
Bio
Yea
get the fuck out of here
NO
youre gonna die
DO NOT COME HERE
are you from indiana
no im srs do not consider purdue if ur premed

god damn indiana state is better than here for premed
Yes
ok thank fuck
yeah
its rly grade deflated
yeah
Sigh
and u need a gpa if ur going to med school
yeah
Can grade deflation just die 🫤
is it?
idk
yea thats a C+ or B- average
idk how it works
neither
Oh lord
nobody knows
Isn’t the average engineering major gpa like 3.5 tho
hallo
i met a doctor thats going to IU med school and he went to IU for UG
also
hopdy
my song i made yesterday sounds worse than i thought
if the premed to business pipeline occurs to you shawn at least kelley i sgood
real
I was asking for your guesstimate
Yea most ppl go to IU
much less than 15 percent
But my dad told me there are Purdue premeds
blud thinks we know the entire FYE population
ty
yeah no shit
theyre dead inside
fr, theres like an amount of us
one of our friend's roommates went from premed to business
idk that number
cuz he couldnt take it anymore
The pipeline is very real
my friend back home did that
he was not doing medicine
theres definitely a fye population
for sure
now do i know any number close to that pop
nah
do i care
nah
does it matter
nah
Does grade deflation mean that professors grade harshly or they have that weird thing where only a few people can have As
both
both :D
ignore grade deflation
simply understand it as this
theyre premed
profs hate to grade good
real
and they give hard everything
theres a reason why calc 2 is so bad
if they graded and scaled reasonably
mfw 60% average
it wouldnt be an issue
52%
Time to adjust my college plans 😁😁
nvm
dont let it deter you
simply itll suck
yeah start praying for IU boy
I think IU is locked in for me
🙏🙏
wait is in state iu easy to get?
mfw this is a A-
actually I need to do their honors college essay
idk abt indiana residence thingies
I keep procrastinating
I would assume so
which one
damn we arent even close to being done with scla 101
WAIT how r u getting calculated grades
It’s acceptance rate isn’t too low anyways
is that brightspace?
IU
boy this is SCLA
there is literally a grades section in brightspace
i alr have my calculated grade for mfet
shit
u can make what-if grades?
shit
i needa check
i gotta submit mfet assignkent
its dead week after we get back
i did the final paper
and the speech
IU doesn’t have supplementals on the common app but they make u do a supplemental for honors college on their portal
i should do my final paper
yes you should
Wait so for engineering does gpa like not matter?
uh
yes and no?
3.0 is the minimum a lot of companies look for
at least for internships
wait r ur final grades in, or u edited it?
and under a 2 you get suspended
no
i have like the final left
but its fucking inferno
and i am cooked
then how r u calculating it
oh wait
ur prof is competent
do you are have stupid

now im 75%
cuz finals arent done yet
@karmic parcel im actually so proud of my MFET grade
im gonna almost be done
Is the purdue housing stuff true
what did you hear?
yeah i heard they over admitted last year or some
last admission cycle
They over admit all the time
They over admitted by over a thousand kids because they suddenly committed to Purdue due to the protests in other schools
Last year
theyve been over admitting for almost a decade
protests in what other schools?
like in other state schools?
bc i remember IU had a nasty police response
it was mainly fafsa
Oh mb
I don’t know just all around
yea money speaks more than other things
That’s what I’ve heard
man i hated fafsa
i just finished the fafsa form, and it lowkey wasnt too bad?
im probably missing something lol
My bf didn’t do FAFSA as a citizen because he was legally dead
last year it was hellish
it was like vietname
it was IU
yea, but mung chiang pinpointed IU as a major reason
really?
what they do?
mung chiang our beloved
i dont know this lore
ah i see
yea bc yall were the DOE's guienea pigs 💀
bro it was something horrible
i knew people who didnt go to college
cause they couldnt afford it
cause fafsa didnt come through
in time
Yes
They mixed him up with his dad
ohh
Moral of the story: don’t name ur kids after urself
Their names aren’t the same
schedules dropped
I’m not even gonna ask how it happened
im on 15
doing history, edps 315, lin alg, vip, statics, and band iirc
we got a musician
ay
edps?
How
It’s the oral class I wanted
whats edps stand for
It’s related to exploratory studies I think
The Purdue course catalog bulletin lets you search for every class and course for every major offered at the West Lafayette/Indianapolis campus.
Bruh what the sigma
yeah hence the terrible schedule
my schedyle kinda mid
same
edps, calc 3, epics, chem, and cs
my edps is async
and most of my classes are in the afternoon/evening
except math, which happens strictly in the morning
im trying to get thermo
try to snipe for a better spot during open reg
I'm defintely changing some things with my schedule
fair
I was placed in the asme epics team instead of aaee, so I have to change that
and I want a later recitation
also, I wanted to do physics ta but the mandatory weekly meetings are during my chem lab
so I may have to change that as well
best of luck with that endeavor
async classes still exist?
i think i can try for thermo
yep
We have too many people and not enough class sections so some classes have an async section
Fun fact most of JPNS101 is async online
I'm curious to learn about the Purdue course registration system. Who gets priority? Are there waitlists? Is there a link to read?
Damn
Priority is based on how many credit hours your have. I think honors people also get prioriry as well
Long story short on the registration system is you meet with your advisor, choose your classes on the portal, and then at some point the university will create everyone's schedules, and then you are given a time ticket to start modifying your schedule if you wish
interesting. what are common complaints among the students?
7:30 am classes
That's the main one I hear
Usually, when schedules come out, most classes are full capacity so it may be a while before you can move your classes around
time ticket is also by seniority? so freshmen are stuck with 730 classes?
In rare cases you initially don’t get the vital classes. My bf didn’t get one and now he’s scheduled to graduate late
However they usually fix those
I suppose that may happen because of too many enrollments.
yeah hes a cs major
very popular
hehe
yup. I got lucky and don't have any 7:30s but I know a lot of people who do have 7:30s
upperclassment can also be stuck with 7:30s as well. It depends on when their classes meet
seems that the students can choose the course but not the section (at least initially)
Yeah but sometimes your request gets rejected. I didn’t get thermo which is what I want
how does # of AP credits affect all this?
Red are the ones I got credit for
I mean do AP credits help or hurt the course registration seniority? Or doesn't matter?
i shoulda done ap chem
i always regret
you can always choose the sections along with the course
chemistry is so annoyin
open registration is when you choose the sections along with the course
it’s not recommended though because you’d much rather have a slightly inconvenient time than risk not getting the course at all
a few classes (only a handful from what i know) are hard to get if you’re not at least a junior by standing. apart from that it really isn’t bad at all ngl
Just let me in bro.
I love Purdue shut
Yuh haven’t seen you before what’s your major
we dont
they were here always
help
sorry
cs+econ
can you join honors even if youre not in honors program
honors sections of classes? from my understanding yes, but they have a priority in those sections for honors students
That’s insane cuh
i think they used to, but not anymorr
yeah who knows
but truthfully, i came in with enough credits that these typically freshman classes were not difficult for me to get into bc of my reg status
Yo if I have a 1 credit course ENGR10100 intro to engineering will that help in any way with FYE
It’s from a college
check it
Where?
Is that good or worthless
worthless
anything with xxxx is worthles
take this from a person who has 19 of those credits
Bruh
I have calc 1 as well but I’m taking BC so it doesn’t matter
I hope I get 5s on APPCM and EM
With BC and chem that’d be like the most annoying courses out of the way
And I have lit credit
chem credit saves you from the worst class in engineering
WAIT NO WAY I HAVE TO TAKE CHEM AT PURDUE
Please not for cs
Please not for cs
haha
bro im suffering rn
cs is not engineering
Thank god
but also if you get in
do epics
or vip
escape from engr 131 and 132
oh the engineering journey just begings
regardless of what college
its gonna be fun
Wait bruh
So if I do nukes I gotta do FYE
I heard if you’re NM you don’t need to
Or is that another school
letting me in fr
Can an ap score do the trick
yep uclear engineering is fye requirements
Nukes is fun
If you want I can ask the nuke people I know if you wanna talk to one of them
Yes for sure dude
I'd love to have a word
Is Purdue your top choice?
Nah but it's like top 5
My top reasonable choice
If i'm not being delusional .
What’s top choice?
Very strong nuke degree
Purdue is so worth tho
I've like deep dived into so many niche programs for essays lol
Very small department
Noooo fr dude
My counselor was telling me how Purdue was so boring
But then when I'm looking into it to write the essays
It's like
Awesome??
Depends what you want out of college
What do you want
Think college rez. What is the college kid you wanna become?
@raw pebble why am I telling you this you already wrote your essay lol
It's chill haha
Oh yeah
Purdue is great for that
Have a whole building for ROTC
think it’s the uh
Armory?
I'll take your word on it
Also it snows a lot in Purdue (according to this channel) so I'm on board
I wanna go to somewhere very cold and snowy
Do you wanna rush or party
Then you’re in the right spot
Low key might do a frat
Idk yet
I've only heard frat stories from a mutual at Mich and it's insane LOL
Idk if I'm into that or hate it
Fair enough
What race are you if that’s okay
You'
You're good
Asian south not indian
Ah I see
Lowkey i would be fine with 730s
I wake up at 6 every morning now
How bad can it possibly be
It hits different trust
Could you explain why?
I have calc 3 at 730. The idea of getting up at 7. Getting ready. Walk 5-10 mins in the dark and having to focus in a lecture hall when you can learn this on chenflix + attendance is mandatory
I only go to lecture when I think homework is too hard
Usually I learn through my homework
It’s the idea how you aren’t forced anymore
Every engineering major here has to do fye
On the outside it seems boring but purdue is a wonderful place. Every other day, I learn about the most random things people from our school have done. Also a great community
We aren't a huge party schools so it will probably be toned down compared to umich
Getting up in hs vs college is very different. In high school, I would be up by 6:55 am. I could never do that on a daily or every other day basis now.
If your counselor knew Neil Armstrong went here, they would definitely change their mind
We have so many frats so if you are interested, you can definitely find one that fits for you. Just have to do some research and during rush, go check them out.
Hi ritvik
Happy thanksgiving
Hey Jamie. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!
I’m gonna be getting up at 5 roughly most days for ROTC
So
Woohoo!
I get up at 6 on weekends too though...
Maybe it can work out for you. It comes down to when you go to bed. In high school, I went to sleep by 11 pm. Now, I go to bed anywhere from midnight to 2 am on weekdays.
Mostly because of peer pressure and homework at least for my experience
my HS started at 7:30, and i had some 7:30s in college. it was so much worse
idk how to explain why
Same
Its mostly hanging out with people after midnight
Sometimes it's homework or studying
Yea if u schedule it well, it may not be that bad for u
But usually, when everyone else has classes at like 10:30 or even 1, and then are sleeping rly late, u tend to also sleep late, and with a 7:30, it just rly sucks
No you don't, i lost all motivation to wake up by mid october
Thanksgiving
Ill tell you why it's worse, its the lugging outta bed getting yourself awake when you really dobt have to
Happy thxgiving
Happy Thanksgiving
Like i kept on hearing chenflix and office hours from people
I just did that
there's a lot more to do in college
during high school, you probably didn't have a lot to do on weeknights. in college, most people are out and about even after midnight
sometimes eating pancakes with friends
chat is the ai program good or should i just do cs and cut my losses with RD
can i even apply RD for cs
lets ask the man the myth the legend
@pliant garnet
I’d recommend applying cs first choice ai second choice
The ai program is good, it’s almost identical to cs but more ai oriented choices in third and fourth year, and more ethics and psych courses
I personally really like it, but some concerns I’ve heard is that it’s a temporary hype cycle and that it’s not worth it over cs, but I don’t believe those for certain reasons
i think its similar to the dynamics of agricultural engineering and mechE
while mechE the main thing, you can still do the same kidns of jobs with an agricultural engineering degree
simply all about how you use it
and present it
Are there any good ski resorts near purdue?
ai is decent enough
even as a worst case, it’s not that hard to transfer into cs from ai
there’s not a lot in indiana. the closest decent ones are probably in michigan
there’s a ton of ski trips though
i got onto a ski trip to colorado this last spring break. the ski club has a trip to banff during winter break, and even some residence halls host ski trips for the residents
oh and pretty much every fraternity has a spring break ski trip too if you end up rushing
i see
got it
ig my reasoning is ai is prob easier to get into but it wont have the same versatility as a cs degree for all kinds of tech jobs
and i added purdue to my list really late
so i missed the cs priority deadline
and EA
whats the avg admitted profile of a cs major at purdue
Nah ag and mech is beytrt comparison
Oh fire
How far are they are
Away*
Nah ag has like crop sci and stuff, but aero is purely a subset of meche the same way ai is purely a subset of cs
ag is the closest to mechanical
its just mechanical acctualy
they just make you take some bio classes
but its merely mechanical with bio classes
you right
its not the best conparison
God damm that’s insane
Where did yoy guy in Colorado
i ended up falling sick but they went to copper mountain
So I’m not so sure anymore if it’ll be easy since now a lot more ppl will be applying ai this year, and my advisor said that they really wanna keep ai contained to super small cohorts
ohh alr
But yea it’s gonna be easier than cs
depends on residency
yeah
for intls the average is like 1530 sat
1500-1520 avg sat from what i remember
yeah my superscore is in that range
Scroll down here for cs specific, but it rly varies for in state vs oos
https://www.admissions.purdue.edu/academics/freshmanprofile.php
purdue is test required so hopefully my sat can offset some of the impact my gpa will have
purdue cs is in the college of science right
Yeah
They give major specific for cs near the bottom
Ooh sick
That sounds like hella fun
damn yall smart
if thats the case then i might acc have a chance at purdue
I have a 3.76 but a 1570 so it’s my only hope 😭
bro wdym but both are solid
dawg
youre good
what are the AI opportunities at purdue
dont expect aid tho
alot of autonomous robotics clubs
o
what type of robotics
like car racing? or
is there also any research/internship opportunities or is it mostly robotics
literally robotics
cars
alot of the engineering clubs have ai related things
so not only ai only
there are
like what
bro i dont know all the ai research opportunities
large language models
like theres alot of things
thats fair its good to know there are some though, I'll do some of my own research
thanks for your help
yep
How bad is it
I know alpt of folks who get nothing
They rarely give out merit aid
For FYE?
What was your GPA if you don’t mind me asking
Uhh like 3.9, but they recalculate it
Do they recalculate it to Ike absolute value of your gpa?
idk but all i know is that they do it
WOOHOO
The ai opportunities are insane
There’s actually so much
There’s like three autonomous driving teams
There’s like two clubs that do autonomous robotics
A bunch of research labs (I’m in one that takes freshmen!!)
ooo
What aspect of ai r u into
idk I just dont got any AI opportunities because I live in the middle of nowhere
and I wanna learn that stuff in college
I also want more research opportunities
I've done some already but like I have zero resources
what aspect of AI do you do
There’s a tooooon
I’m into ai and music
ooo very cool
That’s my lab and the club project I’m in
oh yeah
does Purdue have merit aid
nmsqt or like other just merit based aid
oos public lowkey kinda expensive
Not a lot sadly
rip
Since the cost is alr so low
Yea so though it’s cheap, it’s rly hard to get it any cheaper
Classes are tough, but u do learn a lot
thats good
It’s one of the most difficult and rigorous schools in the country
Cuz of deflation
yee
Campus vibe is greaaaaat
betttt
What r u looking for? Parties and frats/sororities, or more like close group of friends hanging out, or smth else?
prolly like hanging out and like things to do around campus/city
places to explore or smth
:( lolll
well I'm used to that lmao no worries
does it rain a lot
random question but I wanted to know
So it rains a looooot in my opinion
lmaooo
Oh way less than Seattle
Way way less
lolll ok
yo thats goated
Someone could correct me tho
imo yeah
I’ve met one rude person in general, and that was a random encounter in the lunch line
Other than that, it’s rly chill
ayee
Ppl are hella nice
All the time yeah
I don’t rly attend cuz I don’t have that much time (my time management sucks)
nah totally fair
But I always see flyers and social media posts and stuff
are the research opportunities super competitve
Nah not at all
I got it thru cold emailing
I don’t wanna doxx myself, but I’m in this group: https://ai4musicians.org
oh shoot yeah my fault
I meant more like
do you code deliverables? or like
what does it look like
in a lab
how many people r usually in one
My specific group within AIM has like 10 ppl
That’s rly rly prof and project dependent
ah I see
Like my prof expects work to be done, but it’s a reasonable amount
They all know u have classes and need time for other college stuff
I’d say it’s as much commitment as an extra class tbh
If u can apply, do apply
Honors housing is rly rly nice
lolll ok
And there’s other stuff like class registration, more opportunities etc
alr cool you sold me on purdue lmao I'll apply
see you on campus if I don't get in my other schools
👍 thanks for your help
it was very insightful
and purdue accepts me lololol
Ofc!!
Are you from the Seattle area
Rahhh seattle area pog
Chats, how you deal with a rejected letter😢😢😢😢😢
you just experience it
and get through it
keep your mind occupied
with other things
thanks

that usually works
wow
Which school?
Well the only guy I know from the Seattle area seems to love Purdue
January 15
ah okay
i love purdue too
is January 15 rd
Cyber is ez bro
But what I would recommend is do CS with Cyber focus
I’m so tempted to do that
Nah. Nothing in this school is easy
Approach everything with caution
It'll be easy until it's not
should I apply Purdue even though I’m not getting scholarships
Can you afford it is the question
I checked the net price and total cost is 37k (with scholarships)
my parents make under that
but we also have the fasfa
Cyber is in polytechnic institute, so it’s substantially easier than cs
Did u apply cs first and cyber second choice?
you should be good then I believe with fasfa no?
Or u just went straight up cyber
they make 30k/yr but they need to eat and pay bills no
I don’t know I’d be slaughtered if I dare apply to the polytechnic
All in on cyber
I just applied cyber first cause I know I wasn’t competitive for cs
I meant like getting in
Well u can apply
Uhh, just try
fr
Why do you think that?
Also
After you joined Purdue you’ll realize you are never the best nor the worst
Lots of people go to Purdue. Sometimes I would think “wow these people are brilliant” and sometimes I would think “these people are a waste of space and oxygen”
My sat score was ass, and yeah that's true but i also just like cyber more that's what i wanna do in my life is cyber
My roommate was a cyber major
After she got here she regretted it because she found it too boring
Snowy I’m a girl
According to my bf it takes a certain someone to do cyber
Brother why would you think I would have a male roommate
You’re good
What does he mean by that 😭
I’m messing with you
ah okayt lmao
My bfs roommate went to a cyber comp. Bro only got up from his seat to either get really strong coffee or to shit himself
LMAO
I love cyber tho highkey
I do a cyber comp rn and it's 4 hours long and i don't usually stand up eitehr lmao
Woah
only to get pizza that my teacher orders us
and then i get right back to it
like cs with cyber emphasis
It's called cyber patriots it's like a competition where i have to secure an operating system after it's been hacked
It's hella fun
Yeah
Oh woah
I think I already told you but I’m still considering whether to do CS
There are tracks that you can do
jamiebf is planning on doing two tracks
FYE but hopefully ME eventually
ohh okay that's really fire
oh sick
That would be interesting if i was able to CODO into cs with an emphasis in cyber
Oh yeah
since alot of the cyber classes at purdue seem really fire
You can try
Yeah
Hol up lemme try asking the cyber major
the only reason i wasn't going to like first choice major for cyber is that i don't want to pigeon hole myself
alright cool
Never mind he’s not online
dayum
I think you know this but cyber and cs are in two schools
So codo is hard
But not impossible
yeah fs i knew that
yeah
if i really wanted to i could try but i would be happy just sticking in cyber tbh
Fair enough
Lemme look at the curriculum rq
