No problem
yeah io understand that
It's ass lmao 1250 😭
Ok fair enough
I just am a a terrible test taker
Fair
That's why i didn't apply cs
Okay
cause i knew it wouldn't work out
Yeah i'm a seattle guy
Hopefully UW for cs
but unlikely due to how compettive it is
Fair
My sisters bf is a Washington resident
Bro is currently at Purdue Indy
Doing comp e
dang
I would really like to go to UW
ig ill just find out in 4 months smh
idk why it comes out so late
Interesting
Iirc Purdue OOS is slightly more expensive than UW instate
It depends whether you can afford to pay for ‘getting out of your home town’ or ‘not having to run into kids at your hs’
lmao yeah, we can pay for purdue OOS
Don’t be like my ex and get in for FYE and proceed to CODO into psych
wtf
If not you’re all good
why would you ever do that
He wants to get PhD but he doesn’t know what PhD
bro what
He was always a non stem enthusiast
then why apply for fye??
And also realistically he realised he’s not smart enough for anything more advanced for calc 2
Dawg Idfk ask him he blocked me everywhere
damm 😭
interesting
I did some things
If you really want I can send you his way
nah it's okay lmao 😭
LMAO if he wants to be
intersting
i would never CODO into psych tho
especially if i got in for cyber
Neither
that ain't happening
yeah it is
i love UW so much
I would go the second i get in
no thought about it
but i don't really think about it that much as my dream school because i don't want to be let down
Don’t do dream schools bro
Ruined me for 3 months
Who in their right mind would pay oos tuition to do Purdue psych
Bro has too much to spend
Oh wait my sister is doing that ooops
CODOing as an ai is a lot easier than cyber
yeah fr i'm not doing that
I shit on the polytechnic
That's why i'm not thinking of it as my dream school lmao
U shit on ai too 😔
Don’t get me wrong it’s good but one kid I know is a massive disappointment
LMAO
I love having a sense of superiority
Yeah he gets shit on all the time for being an AI major
damm 😭
When’s your flight back purdude
Cyber is more respectable than AI trust
At least it’s not a trend
oh okay 😭
nah ai is just super hyped rn cuz of chatgpt
But there is ai beyond llms
I don’t wanna do llms
Saturday night
Omg same
Hell yeah
But like mine is 6 hours
Urs is prolly like 2 or smth
But yeah you’ll like cybersecurity here if u like cybersec in general
It prepares u for a job immediately after grad
CS CS CS
Both of y’all’s degrees are tracks within CS
oooh that sounds fire
yup
https://catalog.purdue.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=16&poid=25633&hl="Cybersecurity"
See if these courses interest you
The Purdue course catalog bulletin lets you search for every class and course for every major offered at the West Lafayette/Indianapolis campus.
That’s how I picked my degree lol
Ooh ok yeah
Then u do have a decent chance at switching to cs
Cuz all that matters is ur math courses, and cs180
Which is Java
wdym
So like, cs major change cares about ur math courses gpa that u take in purdue (since they’re weeders) and ur cs180 grade. Cybersec major only has u take calc 1 and 2 for math and no more. If ur taking calc 2 rn, u won’t be taking purdue math at all
And that could make ur major change app kinda scuffed in terms of competitiveness
ah damm that is kind of scuffed 😭
that's chilling tho
I don't really wanna take math anyways lmao
Yeah good, purdue math is insaaaaaaane
What classes are you doing there
It’s just calc 2
Calc 3 is fine
Never mind it will not
Purdue CS is annoying that you have to take some courses exclusively at Purdue
Washington State has a program or rather UW has a program where you can take UW classes at your high school
yep it doesn't transfer 😭
my absolute favorite
LMAO THIS INTERACTION IS SO FUNNY
@tulip harbor
Sup
Same
I got a sled waiting for me to finish
Meaning?
Like average admitted gpa or average gpa upon graduating purdue
admitted
Depends on major, r u applying flight tech?
yes
would they accept lower
I have 3.7 I think
ik I didn’t apply early but I’m just praying I get a lot of outside scholarship
since Purdue is my dream school
I had 3.75
oh wow
good luck!!
thx
Hope u get in :D
Uhmmm I don’t remember the deadline 😔
R u OOS
Yea it’s in dept of cs
Ty :D
im still surprised they let someone as stupid as me in
Cuz the ppl I see in my classes and lab
Holy crap they’re insane
Yea they’re basically test mandatory in practice
It’s damn near impossible to get in test optional
Have u taken them at all
Oh it’s fine still submit no matter what
If u don’t mind sharing, what’s ur score
21 on my ACT
Only if u don’t mind
I’m dumb
That’s not rly far from the average
Flight tech I think has 24.8 in 25-50 percentile
ppl were shocked becuz I have low act but good gpa
it’s because I can’t take stuff fast
and I worked hard on my school grades.
oh wow
so I could still pass
I’m planning on retaking my ACT
Yeahh, if u can afford the fees, I do encourage u to apply
Esp if it’s ur dream school
Will the results come in time?
Yeah just make sure it comes before u submit ur app
Def better than no score imo
true but if you were a college. you would choose a higher act score
especially if it’s rd
Oh yeah I cooked
Aah I'm scared
when is purdue gonna be out
jan 15 i think?
did yall apply thought website or common app
commonapp
ea
in state so i thought it would be easier to do it that way since i already had a commonapp essay
is purdue cs/ce a reach for in state students? I always thought it would be easy but now im kinda worried after reading on reddit lol
commonapp EA
Unless you have exceptional circumstances you NEED to submit a score
what are your stats
1590 superscore 4.0 top 1% ok ecs hard courses
but ppl are saying its like a coin flip for comp e
CE is diff from CS
i applied for both
i think my main one was comp e bc its the school of engineering and my secondary was cs
Similar situation to you (1590 top of class decent ecs hard courses) I think we’ll be fine
CS I would say coinflip
in state?
CE? You get admitted to FYE
still a target not a safety
But I’d be rather surprised by a defer
Nah oos
bc i dont rly have safeties
NJ kid spotted
Right on
i got a letter of assurance early for a service academy so i hope that works out
Rutgers should have been an ivy
YO
where
yessirrrrr
Get that dodmerb done cadet candidate
You do any place ED or REA
but its a gamble lmao
i got invited to visit their rotc detatchment and they said theyll try to help with admissions
but no guarantee
fr i need a remedial tho but its hell
What code u got
some kidney thing from when i was one
lemme check
i had to do a urine sample and ultrasound and now i gotta send in everything about my surgery lol
after doing the initial eye and body exams
D173.72 is the disqualification code
Dq is rough
ppl have said it shouldnt be too hard tho
U ready for beast
i was week 1 and they talked abt like getting yelled at which was super diff than sle
Plebe yr as a whole sounds awful
Same
and having to stand for an hour bc someone on your squad was dumb
I was 1/7
but too bad mil day was rained. I think i was 3/5
For real
Dude
We all had our alarms set
We thought we were gonna get fucked by the cadets bro
fr i wanted to shoot the m4
wait what
smart ass kids fr
wait afaik cs as a second major wont get considered sadly
fr
insane to think how someone as stupid as me and then ppl as smart as them end up in the same school
i still dont know how im here ngl
My year is just super competitive for some reason
Everyones is just pushed to work harder
Yeah same except I’m still a lazy bum
Idk how I’m top of my class half of my teachers think I’m a bum(i got recs from the ones who didn’t)
😭
Eh you can’t transfer into CS so I just made my decision when I applied lol
You can still do SWE with compe but also way cooler stuff like chip design
Purdue’s great for that since I think u need at least a master’s to get out of basic verification jobs
4+1 ftw
I know comp e is a way harder route tho
Yeah but CS is lowkey a bum major for people who can’t do physics
CE/EE are the goats
I wanna do ece 4+1 lol
Yeah same lol
Part of why i applied
Why does purdue have an ece major and a ce major
Cs has it too
I was confused so I just applied CE
You join Purdue as a first year engineering student
And ce has some potentoal for software
For any eng major
Then you take the courses for ur specific major
I think
So it doesn’t matter too much
Yeah its kinda annoying tho
But the median salary for cs is a bit higher than ce
~10k
Main thing for me is the difficulty
Also more people with CE degrees do grad school I think
Like how difficult lol
If you got a 1590 you’ll be able to handle it
How are u doing in ur phys coursework
If ur doing good you’ll prolly be fine
A rn for phys c but theres such a heavy curve
Its wild we get like frqs from the ap exam for tests and the class average is like a D precurve and i usually beat the curve but its still like a B-
So maybe cooked for college but i cant tell
Yeah our honors physics was super easy
Also our whole phys c class is full of people who got 5s on phys 1 so our averages are shifted way up
But our ohys c teacher is notoriously bad
So usually around 80 raw idk
Tbh as long as you get a 5
It doesn’t matter
And you prolly will
Yuh does Purdue have grade deflation?
that gets you out of the physics courses at purdue I think
Purdue is def tough
I’ve heard bad things about the intro level courses
It’s why you take ur ap credits
u can?
like major switch into cs right?
Insane grade deflation
One of the most in the country
Bruhhh why are all 3 schools i applied ea have deflation
The struggle is real to not just choose an easy major lol
Prolly would help with admissions tkk
Nah u can’t major switch into CS i think or at least I’ve heard it’s very hard to
U can switch into cs
I’m gonna try it
Huh well I won’t be gl with that
U have to have a high gpa in a few certain courses
Yay
Yeah tbh
If I get honors college I’ll prolly go there
Since I don’t have to worry about housing crisis
You will after freshman year
I mean for me, since I don’t have a car and a reason to go off campus
It’s fine
But ymmv
Yeah that’s the only thing that worries me
I mean at least this year
Literally everyone I know
Got housing in the end
Honors college willl help right
Yeah it does
shits so mid
u will still have to
only for first year
nj sucks
Aww I missed the conversation damn
I love Purdue
If I get my drivers license I will very nicely beg for a car
Hopefully I can get my current dream car (VW Beetle)
It is not but it’s cold lemme check the temperature
It’s 15
Where are you?
very north georgia
Oooh I was just at Atlanta
bordering tennessee
For thanksgiving
oh fun
Yeah very fun
atlanta (derogatory)
Georgia tech was like second choice. Straight rejected EA
damn.
don’t Georgia have good schools iirc
yeah I get that I’m not a city person but that’s just where all the Asian foods at
UGA and Tech
Good luck
also emory
yea LOL our family goes down there all the time for the asian markets
Jamie are you Asian
yea chinese
oh
Omg same
twinn
so many Asians at Atlanta
Alright imma lock in for a test imma be back in 1.5 hours
bye gl
i got deferred from UGA it might be over for me lowk
is UGA uni of Georgia?
instate EA rates for GT and UGA are very similar though
yea
UGA this year was 41%, GT las year was 38%
I would go to college in Georgia but no college has my major there
GT also gets like half the amount of applicants of UGA
whats ur major
ohh nice
yeah hbu
ur basic computer engineering major
oh that’s not basic
Oh shit come to Purdue man
What state
purdue is like the cheapest oos college tbh
its like 40k + they give out some schollys
we make less than 40k so
no income
I thought you liked AI bruh
double majoring in ai and cs
im not gonna switch out of ai
Wait that's allowed?
I thought they were too similar
u cant minor in cs as an ai major
but you are allowed to double major
Weird
likely not a reach, target though
its snowing
its cold out
im instate and last year two kids ik got into cs with a 1350 and 1390
i think you’ll b fine
do we got the same teacher.. 😭
I live in greenwood lol
vtech is 58k
nah bro
No Im a senior forgot to update it
Are you in period 2 or 5
check dms
yes but also like
it would be insanely hard to get into
Yeah but tbh it should have been one
Colonial n everything
If they funded it right they could have gotten two princeton level colleges in NJ
But it is NJ after all so they don't really think much down there
enough of those exist, its all subjective
its real useless tho
cause while ur at the college
ur being stuffed in ur classes
and prestige or rankings never coming up
until jobs
IMO that's just what old Rutgers alumni tell me
They're just annoyed that their degrees didn't go up in value I guess
Idk
yeah honestly
like rutgers is a solid state flagship
where are NJ kids gonna go if rutgers has a 2% AR
they'll prob have to settle for NJIT
yes
its compeititve to get here
and competitive here
u will find no rest
unless ur a business major
Lmao
i wouldn’t say that
YES it snowed yesterday
i wud say its not competitive, its just tough
awesome
@karmic parcel
should i attend meeting? also is this a sign 😭😭
purdue pls let me in
i already filed my fafsa but i want to show interest
Maybe not this meeting
But if u get in
Do the mep
Its a great way to meet people
Their summer course is great, I didn't do it
But i know it is
is this a sign
🙏🙏🙏🙏
they better let me in sending me emails like ts fr fr
im not a engineering minority though…
its any minority
yes
we got literally every group of people in the mep
u just apply to join
theres a scholarship
the folks are cool
the seminar is a greatway for nextworking
like they make us do resumes
and then we do two receptions
one in the start
one in the end
and we network with companies
its amazing
awesome
the academic bootcamp in the summer
is also a great way to start college
meet folks
and form a close knit community
Surprisingly, the business majors have more exam finals than a decent chunk of the engineers
tips to increase chances of getting into perdue cs?
have good stats and ecs? idfk
Bet
Spell purdue correctly on the application lol
I have a friend who spelled purdue wrong on his application and got waitlisted
damnnn
prude
pudue
p
yall i am not ready for finals
im acc dumb
how many finals do you have tay
4
spledid
i have two back to back
ill be gone by wednesday
insane
i have this fri, then tues, thurs and one that i can take any time during finals week so im gonna do monday
ill be leaving friday morning
like this friday?
HUH how do u have this week?
profs are allowed to do that if they aren't doing anything during actual finals week
its an exam for my bio lab class
yes, as in dec 6th
I said PU am I cooked
ive never heard it called that 😔
Dw I didn't
Maybe
Same
I have 2 exam finals that are separated by one night
Math Wednesday night and physics Thursday morning
NOO 😭
purdude
@pliant garnet
i have finals on mon and tue

im on my second can of monster today
life is good
imma be passing kidney stones before i graduate college
pls take me purdue
holy hell why
how late r u staying up
I didn’t
I just need monster for better focus
I sleep 24/7
fr, half the day
!purdue
nah bro
freak
it's insanely competitive for business majors ngl
the consulting clubs all have ~5% acceptance rates 💀
like the clubs at purdue?
yeah
2-3 rounds of interviews 💀
my business frat has a ~10% acceptance rate too afaik
the biggest one had ~600 apps -> 100 first round interviews -> idk how many second round interviews -> ~10 people got in
nothign at this school is easy or straightforward
istg bro
also procrastination is getting the worst of me
i have a compiler project worth 15% of my grade due in 6 hours
and i'm only 60% done 😭
what’s the average or minimum stats and stuff for purdue
i really am hoping that I can get in next year
like ib scores and stuff
Good luck!!
Thanks you too!
I mean what are your stats
I know a mecheng senior here who got 5s on IB iirc
Granted he got in like 3 years ago
Insane
Did not expect that from the business people
*smart business people
I still feel like most of them are stupid frat people
Fair
Also I got a study room to myself at Lambertus/ Dudley
If you wanna pu and share lmk
True
I did it last night
Fair enough
Ah I see lol
tbf the consulting clubs are 75% IE majors 💀
Lmao
Didnt expect that either
SAT 1540
Im still a junior but I could prob get mostly 6s in IB
(My ib subjects are physics maths chemistry english all HL)
That’s good I had a 1530
Why tho
IE sets you up perfectly for consulting and business roles
and purdue ie is top5 in the world
Compared to lets say AE or ME
I know a CS major with SAT in the 1400s you’ll be fine
I’m also not actually an English major if you can’t tell
It’s just a joke someone here thought first year eng was first year English
evidently not a CS major
FYE
huh
I don’t like coding enough to be a CS major
whats that
First year engineering
does it mean first year engin
oh
ok\
Purdue’s general engineering program
I’m intl if I came to Purdue for English my parents would murder me
which country are you from
i heard that geographic location matters a lot for college apps
if thats the truth then im like
deepfried
turned into ashes
You’re Indian?
dumped into the ocean
I heard that 70% of purdue ppl are indians
Bro like 10 of my alumnis from my hs are in purdue
and like 5 of my friends
"friends"
well
people i knew
Yes
You’ll be fine,
I sure hope i will 😭
purdue pls let me in lol
you’re doing IB right? Just work hard in school and do some CS ECs
What major
econ
xd
my dream school is MIT or CMU but well im NEVER getting into MIT and CMU is the most expensive thing in the world like the entire worlds economy is not enough to get admission into CMU so the only logical or well rational decision for me and my future would be purdue (or USC, princeton, stanford, UC Berkely, Upenn but well same situation as MIT 😁 😁 )
I would just try to fall in love with Purdue lol
And then if you get in somewhere more prestigious then you’ll still be happy
Uh yes?
where you need the big huge fat jackets
And boots
Yeah im going insane i need sleep
That looks fire
hows the food
Food isn’t bad but its repetitive
How about the surroundings of the campus, is the campus in like the middle of nowhere or is there lots of stuff around where you can go
example like class is over u have 20 mins and u wanna go look around for cool stuff like maybe books or go to starbucks or sm
The campus is in west Lafayette which is kinda a bubble. Lafayette has a bit to do but it’s more run down
There’s two Starbucks on campus
But shopping wise or cool stuff not so much
There’s one cat cafe in Lafayette tho
WHAT
I love kitties
LMFAOOOOOO
Artificial Intelligence
Yeah the cats are great
Get that fucker @pliant garnet
You got another friend
😭
Yeah
or her idk
Purdude is in fact a dude
Majoring in AI just doesn’t sound as good
Also there’s some ethics and psych class in AI
I think
Thats fire
Well
thats something to decide later
but i know that i wanna get into purdue badly
Also if you get in CS its easier to swap to AI than vice versa
What about finances, how much did u have to pay when you got into purdue?
Yeah if you need essay ideas let us know
I think for intl its a bit less than 50k
No
Intl don’t get aid
purdue lmk PLEASE
so you had to pay full price?
Mhm
Yes
so far ive been accepted no rejections
dpnt wanna jinx tho
My parents are relatively well off
dont*
Where
Where are you from
rutgers, penn state, uic, illinois state, iowa state
You’re from Iowa?
Oh right
uic is University of Illinois Urbana champaign?
wait no
thats uiuc
no
whats uic
sanj is an econ major from Chicago
University of Illinois chicago?
unuversity of illinois chicago is uic
damn
Why not UIUC
No
i see
yeah its finance program is good
Why not UIUC
Oh nice
wowie
I got in UIUC for Aero though
i think purdue is better lol
It’s cheaper too
Honestly if i had the choice between UIUC and Purdue i would prob choke there too
Besides Purdue people just seem happier? I don’t know
i mean idk i would prefer something out of state
ONG SANE
It is not
SAME
What
man i love the cold sm
Have i been lied to my entire life
UIC is in Chicago UIUC is in Urbana Champaign
Oh
yeah
illinois is colc.
Yes
but its pretty cold there too
bro the entire mid west is cold
the summers are the biggest problem
Uh when I arrived in august I was wearing shorts
But its not as bad as Hong Kong summers
i wanna go in a place so cold where u feel that summers arent even hot
If that helps
bro my summers in india are horrifying
I know
are u indian
Yes
oh, same
but well i am an interesting species of dumb so i wear 4 layers in summers
and i roam around in shorts in the winters
yeah i could tell by the name
to experience extremes
Yeah lol
Let’s see if he will respond to you
Or just dm him
He’s chill
i really really really really really hope i get into purdue
He beats me up all the time
😭
You’ve got a year bro lock in and max out your stats

the cat cafe is my motivation
Yessir
fr though
Pleaseee send me picsd from the cat cafe
Oh my god
Most of them have people in it
AAAAAAAAA
So I can’t send here
I Ammmmm8jwq980ejg890wjgh90wjegsv[adaddddddadadadadadadadadadadadadd
Thats it
Im going to purdue
What
Mhm
Dead week is the week before finals
Thank you im dying in calc 3 right now
Makes a L)OT of sense
FINE >:(
bro how are you calculating finances?
just curious, CMU seems to be almost equally expensive as uc, stanford, upenn etc how else are you calculating
