Purdue University (2024-2025)

[fiery goblet]

and aid and stuff

but in cmu it seems nearly impossible

[shrewd forge]

youre applying with aid?

[fiery goblet]

or maybe its just exaggerated too much

i still have to do more reserach into finances

[shrewd forge]

i see i see

[fiery goblet]

😅

[shrewd forge]

did u do ea purdue

[fiery goblet]

schlawg

i am still HS junior

😭

@shrewd forge wbu, did u apply anywhere yet

[shrewd forge]

missed purdue ea due to medical + family reasons

[fiery goblet]

😔

[shrewd forge]

seems like RD is impossible so idk

[shrewd forge]

glgl

[fiery goblet]

what board are you in

[fiery goblet]

Good luck man

[shrewd forge]

cbse

[fiery goblet]

ohhhh

did u take the SAT?

[shrewd forge]

mhm

[void kernel]

i realized i put the wrong major in my essay :/

[fiery goblet]

WHAA

[void kernel]

im cooked

do not do essays at 2am not smart

[fiery goblet]

when do Purdue EA results come? (i didnt apply buit just cuirous)(

[ruby cipher]

jan 15

[fiery goblet]

Oh okay

[sand aurora]

Its our highest ranked engineering major rn

[tulip harbor]

Bruh

[sand aurora]

Probably because we are more well known for those disciplines

[tulip harbor]

Im actually so cooked for calc 3

It’s not funny anymore

[sand aurora]

Im so cooked for calc 2

I may genuinely fail

[tulip harbor]

My condolences

[sand aurora]

Best of luck

[tulip harbor]

I won’t fail but I want a 4.0 this semester

[tulip harbor]

Thanks you too

[sand aurora]

And hopefully the curve provides

[sand aurora]

Thanks

[tulip harbor]

You defo have a curve bro

Calc 3 has been easier this year

[sand aurora]

The question is how much

[tulip harbor]

So the curve is probably bad

[sand aurora]

Its make or break for me

[tulip harbor]

Damn

[sand aurora]

Someone told me it's anywhere from 5 to 15 percent

[tulip harbor]

Apparently CS has seen 40 percent curves iirc

[sand aurora]

Holy shit

That's massive

[tulip harbor]

Yeah I know

What are you doing next sem bro

You’re ECE right

[sand aurora]

Aero

[sand aurora]

Chem, calc3, edps english, epics, and cs

Im also planning on becoming a physics ta

[tulip harbor]

Ah

Good luck

[sand aurora]

Ty

Were you able to get into thermo

[tulip harbor]

for next sem?

[sand aurora]

Or is it fully booked

Yup

[tulip harbor]

Nah I snatched 2k1 tho

[sand aurora]

Nice

[tulip harbor]

Dude sanj and I share a session you should join us

If you can

[sand aurora]

For what

[tulip harbor]

TR 3-430

EDPS

[sand aurora]

Im in async

[tulip harbor]

Sad

[sand aurora]

I could pull up one day

[tulip harbor]

I mean sure

Asynchronous sucks ass bro

[sand aurora]

Its either that or I take a 3 hr long class on Wednesday night

[tulip harbor]

Alright I need to look at my horrible calc practice final

[tulip harbor]

Woah

[sand aurora]

Yeah

It would be rough

[tulip harbor]

What chem are you doing

115?

Oh wait Im stupid it is 115

[fiery goblet]

does purdue have an interview after college apps?

[ruby cipher]

guys if i get into purdue

i will do many things

[fiery goblet]

same

it feels weird to know ill get out of uni in 2030

[sinful viper]

no interview

[fiery goblet]

LETS GOO

[quick linden]

clutched tf up and scored 110% 💀

uh i think it still is but you just don't hear as much about it

might be wrong though

uhhh yes

the feels-like temp is -20c rn

[fiery goblet]

YESSS

I love prudue

i love cold

I love snow

i oklve cats

i love starbucks

[quick linden]

i had to spend last night at a friend's place because of a snowstorm/sudden cold 😭

[fiery goblet]

Okay thats fire

[quick linden]

it's a nice little town. there's a TON of stuff that fits that criteria

a lot of cute stores 5mins away from campus

and the public library has a store where they sell hardcover books for less than a dollar lol

[sinful viper]

vons is so silly

[fiery goblet]

I LOVE Purdue. . ..

[fiery goblet]

less than a dollar

hardcover books

both of them in one sentence

feels unreal

[quick linden]

they also have a shitton of jigsaw puzzles and board games

i got a 1000-piece puzzle for 3 dollars

[quick linden]

literally same 😭

[tulip harbor]

whats ur score rn

[quick linden]

82%

[tulip harbor]

shi

[pliant garnet]

It was so so so cold last night and I wasn’t prepared

I hate the weather here 😔

[fiery goblet]

I love

[tulip harbor]

I love

[drifting lintel]

Did u just sleep on the floor or something? 😭

[karmic parcel]

hcem 115 is so ass

[quick linden]

[tulip harbor]

I don’t know shit hit the fan

ok gl

[karmic parcel]

bros still a senior

[shut lotus]

sorry that i havent touched this server in ages

[karmic parcel]

what u making

[tulip harbor]

Car parts

PER shit

[karmic parcel]

cool

[tulip harbor]

That’s fair tho I’m just here to argue with strangers

[tulip harbor]

@sinful viper look what I got!

[sinful viper]

copier

[tulip harbor]

Hey

:(

[shrewd kettle]

for 2$?

[tulip harbor]

Nah that’s sth else

This shi was like 16

[shrewd kettle]

cool

you get time to go for basketball games or nah?

as an engineering student

[tulip harbor]

Nah

Realistically you do I just don’t have a life

[shrewd kettle]

why bruh

[tulip harbor]

I’m dumb so I study a bit more. Also I don’t like spending money

[shrewd kettle]

valid

how much does one ticket cost

on average

i mean cause is the only big sport that purdue is good at

[pliant garnet]

depends on the game

like IU would be a lot more expensive than like an unranked team

[shrewd kettle]

lets say against a T25 team

like yesterdays game

against penn state

[pliant garnet]

https://purduesports.com/sports/2022/9/13/mbb-ticket-info

not sure about yesterdays

but u can find ticket prices for our future games here

[shrewd kettle]

goddamn all games sold out until march 4

wtfff

[ruby cipher]

no way

[ruby cipher]

how did purdue lose :Sob

[shrewd kettle]

braden smith bad game

[tulip harbor]

There’s also an aftermarket groupme

For tickets

[sand aurora]

I have gone to a few

men's basketball is fun

very packed and exciting

women's basketball games are empty

[shrewd kettle]

Yasssadss

But yall suck at football

Like horrible

[sand aurora]

I went to one and the people behind me were doing fluids hw

[sand aurora]

we know

we all wanted our coach fired

[shrewd kettle]

Have you been to a football game

Or nah

[sand aurora]

and prayed for basketball season to arrive

[shrewd kettle]

Not worth to

It

[sand aurora]

I went to two

the notre dame game was horrendous

the game against northwestern was fun

people actually stayed till the end

[shrewd kettle]

Cool bro

How much did you pay

[sand aurora]

and a bunch of people in my dorm dressed up as sharks

[sand aurora]

I got the boarding pass, so I had access to two home football games for free

the northwestern tickets were going for 25 bucks

if you buy football tickets closer to the day of the game, you can get them for decent prices

from people on snap, or the ticket exchange group me, or student seats

[shrewd kettle]

I see

What about the basketball games?

[sand aurora]

same thing with basketball games

you can find some last minute tickets from students selling them for cheap

I got tickets to a basketball game for $10

[shrewd kettle]

You go alone or you got a group

[sand aurora]

the night before the game

[shrewd kettle]

Student section?

[sand aurora]

yup

[sand aurora]

going alone is boring

so I go with a few friends

I have two good friends who are really into basketball

the rest aren't as passionate

or are busy doing something else

[shrewd kettle]

Cool bro

[sand aurora]

its fun. I'll probably try to hit up some more basketball games in the spring semester

cause that's when the conference games are in full session

[shrewd kettle]

Yup

Have you ever been to a March Madness game?

[sand aurora]

I have not. This year was my first year going to college sports games

growing up, I wasn't really involved in college sports cause my parents didn't go to school in the us, so it wasn't part of my life till I came to Purdue

I would occasionally focus on march madness in middle and high school but that was it

[shrewd kettle]

That’s cool bro

Hope you get to see one this year

[sand aurora]

Hopefully

[sand aurora]

And I hope you get into Purdue!!

[sand aurora]

Basketball tickets sell out instantly. Football tickets this year sold out pretty quickly as well

I don't know how fast volleyball tickets sold out but I assume those were also sold out fast

[sand aurora]

The last minute prices on student section to the Alabama game was 30 to 60 bucks

[karmic parcel]

yea u can if u want

[west pollen]

purdue please let me in

[ruby cipher]

alrighty time to glaze purdue

[fiery goblet]

is it easy to work part time jobs while being in purdue

[shrewd kettle]

Thank you bro 💙

[sand aurora]

You can. I have met a bunch of people who work at the dining courts

A bunch of people also become ta's for some classes as well

Its doable but it also depends on what you want to do with your time here

[raw pebble]

i have not seen many college bb fans

cfb is whats up though

[fiery goblet]

Oo

how much money can u make working at one of the starbucjks at purdue?

[sand aurora]

No clue

[karmic parcel]

thats something google might have to answer

[sand aurora]

Our minimum wage is 7.25

The university minimum wage is 9 bucks

Dining staff get paid 11 to 13 bucks

Ta wage varies based on department but physics is 12 bucks

[shrewd kettle]

what about internships?

[pliant garnet]

yea i know a ton of ppl with internship offers lined up

there are programs within purdue that give internships as well

[shrewd kettle]

yay

wbu

you got any lined up?

[pliant garnet]

got one thru purdue for next fall, but the market is screwed rn, so nothing over the summer so far

[shrewd kettle]

i see

is it common for freshmen to get internships?

or is it usually second year onwards

[pliant garnet]

depends on how cracked u are ngl

someone ik has like 17 offers

a lot of ppl ik also have 0

so it rly depends on u

[shrewd kettle]

wowzers

[karmic parcel]

u du?

[pliant garnet]

du meaning?

[karmic parcel]

you have an internship?

[pliant garnet]

Corporate partners next fall

[karmic parcel]

oh pretty cool

[pliant garnet]

Yeahh :D

U shud apply too

They’re rly lenient with sophomores compared to freshmen

[karmic parcel]

can engineers do it?

[pliant garnet]

Ohh I’m not sure

I’m doing it thru datamine

But def look into it

My roommate is engineering and he could’ve done it he just didn’t want to

[hoary shore]

yo how hard is purdue to get into for CS EA vs RD? also im OOS

[pliant garnet]

They STRONGLY recommend ea for cs

rd is def a loooot harder

[hoary shore]

am i cooked i didnt do EA :'(

like how much harder is rd

[karmic parcel]

lets see

they said tehy were gonna be more picky this year

so some of yall who woyld normally get in

might not get in

but purdue always says that

soooo we shall see

[shrewd kettle]

yes the AO who visited my school said no point in applying as an oos or internation rd

[hoary shore]

damn really

[shrewd kettle]

if you are applying purdue for engineering/cs do ea otherwise dont

he was very straighforward lol

[karmic parcel]

nah

dont listen

do it

[shrewd kettle]

on my life he said it

[karmic parcel]

i know alot of folks who came in with rd

[karmic parcel]

i know he said it

but its not as if its impossible

its just harder

[hoary shore]

can u chance me

[karmic parcel]

unless its a zero chance

[shrewd kettle]

extremely harder i mean for international students

[karmic parcel]

then u should apply

[karmic parcel]

nobody on earth can chance u

each app season is not the same

[hoary shore]

hmm did he say also for oos or only intl

[karmic parcel]

there might be statistical similarities

but the situations of the year change the chances

[pliant garnet]

Def apply if u can afford app fees and u like purdue

[hoary shore]

ya i will apply

[shrewd kettle]

no idea but if you want i can give you his contact card

[pliant garnet]

But it is considerable harder

[karmic parcel]

it is

[hoary shore]

sure ya canu dm me

[karmic parcel]

but just apply tho

[pliant garnet]

U can also just email purdue admissions too, they’re rly nice and helpful

[karmic parcel]

if u want to

yea

the admissions folks will help u

dont take third hand info

get it from them

[hoary shore]

ok ima email them

[hoary shore]

ATP if i dont get into a decent college should i take a gap year

[karmic parcel]

bro most colleges in the usa are decent colleges

u are doing cs, its not about the college anymore

its all about ur skills and connections

u can make that at any college u get into

remember u can always transfer

[hoary shore]

but u legit like cant

like most colleges dont accept cs transfer

most of the top ish ones atleast

[karmic parcel]

unless u know its a 100 percent guarantee

dont write things off

[hoary shore]

ya ofc im gonna apply still

[karmic parcel]

just check out how things will go

make ur decisions after u have everything

[hoary shore]

eh its fine ill go to my state school worst case

do you know any colleges where i could transfer into cs with a reasonable acceptance rate

[fiery goblet]

Wikipedia university

Does purdue have a gyhm

like owned by

purdue

[sand aurora]

Freshmen don't really get internships for engineering but after freshman year, you can land some really cool ones. I think we are third in the country amongst public schools for co ops and internships iirc

[sand aurora]

A gym? We have a really nice gym. Its calles the corec. Very modern building with mutliple floors and the option to do almost every activity possible

[fiery goblet]

omg

Thats

actually

FIRE.

r u from india?

[sand aurora]

There is also outdoor facilities as well

[sand aurora]

I'm from jersey. My parents are from India

[fiery goblet]

ohh

alr

coll

cooll

what were ur stats

[sand aurora]

Are you from India?

[fiery goblet]

to get into purdue

[fiery goblet]

Yah

[sand aurora]

Nice. We have a fairly large Indian community here.

[fiery goblet]

Yeah, i heard

[sand aurora]

1520 sat, 4.16 weighted gpa, 5 different clubs at least with leadership positions, vp of youth run nonprofit, 3 presidential volunteer service awards, 7 ap tests taken

[fiery goblet]

Holy CRAP.

Yeah im cooked

[sand aurora]

You will be fine. You got this!!

[sand aurora]

I'm cooked on my math final

[fiery goblet]

i sure do hope so 😭 i mean still got a year hopefully ill pull up w smth good enough

[fiery goblet]

good luck

[sand aurora]

Yeah. You have time

[sand aurora]

Thanks!!

[sand aurora]

Also, i remember the university yapping about how they are expecting less people to apply next year cause there are fewer students in the class of 26, so the acceptance rate can go up cause of that

We shall see cause the university says one thing and something else happens instead

[fiery goblet]

hm fair enough

[fiery goblet]

ooo okay i understand

[fiery goblet]

oh yeah where all did u apply?

[sand aurora]

Rutgers, Princeton, penn state, umd, gwu, gatech, tamu, ut Austin, uiuc, and purdue

[fiery goblet]

where did u get accepted

[sand aurora]

Everything but my reaches

So no gatech, prinxeton, and ut

[fiery goblet]

ohh i saee

what made you pick purdue over uiuc

i heard that UIUC is also reallyt good

[sand aurora]

Purdue is like uiuc, but more compact and cheaper

Also, uiuc aero is based in an old materials lab

Purdue aero is higher ranked and has a much newer building

And neil armstrong went here so that's very cool

[sand aurora]

Overall uiuc is a better ranked school than purdue

[shrewd kettle]

fire

[tulip harbor]

there are lots of ai related stuff for SURF

[ruby cipher]

i will be angre if i get deferred or rej

[shrewd kettle]

Why

[ruby cipher]

idk

[pliant garnet]

wait wait r u test optional

[ruby cipher]

no

hell no

[pliant garnet]

eyy good

[ruby cipher]

i submitted a 770m 720erw

my gpa might be lacking

[pliant garnet]

what major and alt major did u apply

[ruby cipher]

i didnt do alt major

computer engineering

does it matter 💀

[pliant garnet]

i mean, i wouldve recommended picking an alt major, but its fine

[ruby cipher]

womp womp

[ruby cipher]

i can still get in right

[pliant garnet]

yea ofc

[west pollen]

can i say no to not look at my SAT scores rn

[pliant garnet]

like go from test optional to not test optional?

[west pollen]

yes

[pliant garnet]

i would email admissions, cuz im not sure

[west pollen]

ok ty

[karmic parcel]

thats insane

i did not do allat

[tulip harbor]

I also didn’t do allat

[pliant garnet]

i also did not do allat

[sand aurora]

I also did not do allat

[sand aurora]

If you get deferred, you can still get in. Just cook on first semester grades and write a lot in the letter of continued interest. That's what happened to me

[eager kelp]

same am i cooked aswell 😭

[ruby cipher]

you got deferred???

WITH YOUR STATS??

[sand aurora]

Yup

I was not expecting it

[eager kelp]

bro

[ruby cipher]

IM DOOMED

[eager kelp]

same fr

[ruby cipher]

thata gotta be like yield protection bro

[sand aurora]

Its more of a we have a housing crisis

[ruby cipher]

true

oh shit are they gonna underadmit this year to compensate

[sand aurora]

The university has tried admitting less people but the thing is out of they people they do accept, a huge chunk want to come

[sand aurora]

Either that or they will send a bunch of people to indy

[ruby cipher]

oh hell nah 😭

NEU treatment

[eager kelp]

hell nah brody

i said no to indy

i applied cyber how cooked am i

[sand aurora]

Maybe they will keep things the same. Who knows. We have two new dorms being built and multiple apartment buildings under construction

[sand aurora]

Not as cooked as engineering

[eager kelp]

fire

[eager kelp]

treu true

[sand aurora]

One of my roommates is in cybersec

[eager kelp]

oh really

how do thgey like it

[sand aurora]

Based on what I see, he gets to sleep in more

Cause a lot of his classes happen later in the day

[eager kelp]

hmm interesting

[sand aurora]

My other roommate and I get to wake up early and do the engineering grind

[eager kelp]

lmao that's great

[sand aurora]

I pulled a funny today and woke up at 5:30 am

And then walked to the library and did work with a friend

[eager kelp]

damm wtf

[ruby cipher]

ritvik bro im cooked 😭

[sand aurora]

Its not joever. You still have a shot

[sand aurora]

When you hate sleep and love the grind

Also, i kind of did it cause a bunch of my friends did not expect me to actually do it

So i proved them wrong

[true heart]

My ass is NOT going to indy

[sand aurora]

Don't go to indy

The only good thing there is no housing crisis

Everything else is new and limited in resources and clubs and what not

[true heart]

I'd sooner go to one of the siberian gulag campuses of NEU

[pliant garnet]

how tf

[sand aurora]

They probably saw i got a b in pre calc 💀

[pliant garnet]

dude i had like 7 Bs and i got in

[sand aurora]

And then I got an a in calc ab halfway through senior year

[toxic lake]

wait I got a b in calc ab am I cooked

[sand aurora]

Lucky

I had two

And then I got a b+ senior year

[pliant garnet]

im ngl i would suppose my ecs saved me

[eager kelp]

bro i'm cooked in ab

[pliant garnet]

cuz my stats do NOT match

[pliant garnet]

i got a C lol

[eager kelp]

prolly gonna get a b

[sand aurora]

I need to figure out how to get access to my admissions profile

Cause I'm genuinely curious why I was deferred

[pliant garnet]

i got mine

they dont give comments

they literally just give u ur common app

[sand aurora]

Oh

So it's pointless

[pliant garnet]

yeah

[sand aurora]

Rip

Guess I'll never know what they thought of me

[eager kelp]

I'm so cooked bor

if i get deffered

it's abslutely wraps

[sand aurora]

Cook on ecs

[pliant garnet]

exactly

[eager kelp]

i did

[pliant garnet]

ecs my beloved

[sand aurora]

Fr

[eager kelp]

hopefully i cooked 😭

[true heart]

I might be cracked enough for Purdue

[finite rover]

maybe essays?

no offense ofc

[sand aurora]

Maybe

[finite rover]

or offense if youre into that

idk

[sand aurora]

I did write the purdue one's last minute

[sand aurora]

None taken

[eager kelp]

hopefully my essays were good

[finite rover]

cant believe i wrote 1750 words glazing purdue

[sand aurora]

It was my last set of essays

[sand aurora]

Damn

[ruby cipher]

wait

theres hope for me

[sand aurora]

Honestly, we do so much every day as a university that you could glaze purdue endlessly

[ruby cipher]

can i see ur EC's

[pliant garnet]

i can share them here, but not too specific

[finite rover]

what major are you

[pliant garnet]

lemme pull em up

[ruby cipher]

alrighty

[ruby cipher]

computer engineering

[finite rover]

oh gl

fye is competitive

[ruby cipher]

ik

bruh let me in man

if i dont get into a single target or reach im cooked

[finite rover]

nah i feel like thats pretty common

as long as you have safeties youre satisfied w

[ruby cipher]

rose hulman 😋

next week

supposedly

[pliant garnet]

to-be-published ai research at a t1 cs uni, ios app dev with 200k+ impressions, local csu ai project, a job, clubs and other smaller things
BUT my other stats were not that great, quite a few Bs, lackluster test scores, and not sure if my essay was good or bad

[finite rover]

oh ive heard about that

mostly for the gender ratio

[ruby cipher]

jesus christ

[true heart]

Bro imagine going to Purdue CS

[ruby cipher]

my ecs are garbage in comparison

[true heart]

Could be me

[pliant garnet]

couldnt be me

[pliant garnet]

cook ur essays 🙏

[ruby cipher]

my purdue essay was like

okay

[finite rover]

bros literally trying to transfer into cs

[true heart]

What does T1 mean 💀

[finite rover]

😭

[ruby cipher]

mid

[finite rover]

mit/cmu/berkeley/stanford

[pliant garnet]

stanford, berkeley, mit, cmu, one of those

[pliant garnet]

double major, im not letting go of ai

[finite rover]

bro did NOT have to copy me

[true heart]

Purdue is excluded?

from T1?

[finite rover]

yeah i mean

[pliant garnet]

im using usnews for that

[finite rover]

t1 is supposed to be 1 uni

[pliant garnet]

rightfully purdue should be up there

[finite rover]

but its just goofy like that

[pliant garnet]

but alas 😔

[ruby cipher]

purdue is t20

[true heart]

If I go there, hopefully it gets there by my graduation

because apparently the CS department is getting so much more cracked

[ruby cipher]

us news ahh

[true heart]

for CS yeah

[pliant garnet]

hopefully it reaches uiuc cs level

[finite rover]

now i need to finish my application for the t1 uni 😔

(overall)

[pliant garnet]

uiuc is sleeper cracked

[finite rover]

purdue would go up 10 ranks if i went there tbh

[ruby cipher]

did u get in EA or RD purude

[true heart]

If I had a penny for every elite CS school in the bum fuck nowhere midwest I'd have 2 pennies which isn't a lot but it's weird that there are two of them

[pliant garnet]

fr

[pliant garnet]

ea

[ruby cipher]

okay

u givin me hope

[pliant garnet]

lmaoooo

truly middle of nowhere

[ruby cipher]

is it jan 15 this year?

[pliant garnet]

but i love it here

[pliant garnet]

im not sure, i havent checked

[ruby cipher]

supposedly

[finite rover]

wait

[ruby cipher]

5pm

[finite rover]

public schools are counted in elite

[ruby cipher]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bro

[ruby cipher]

💀

[finite rover]

i thought elite schools were like the ones you can be a snob about

[ruby cipher]

i mean like

technically

u could have 3 pennies

if u count ann arbor

[finite rover]

idk ive only been considering private schools "elite" in my head 😭

[pliant garnet]

i got my decision on jan 13 at 10:47 am, so it depends year after year i guess

[pliant garnet]

uiuc is literally #5 in cs lol

[ruby cipher]

10 am wtf??

[true heart]

informally Penn CS or Purdue

[pliant garnet]

and berkeley is #1

[finite rover]

in my head elite is like big endowment small class size

[ruby cipher]

MARCH 31ST UR SERIOUS

[pliant garnet]

r u asking upenn cs or purdue cs?

[pliant garnet]

oh

[true heart]

Just generally not for me specifically

[pliant garnet]

i would take purdue cs, but i would take penn ai over purdue ai

purdue ai curriculum, though its great, it does seem a liiiiittle underdeveloped

[finite rover]

penn ai major is so cool

[pliant garnet]

IKRRR

it opened up for u guys

[true heart]

I'm going to do CS with a focus in AI because I ain't do allat stuff with humanities

[pliant garnet]

i wasnt able to aply penn ai

[true heart]

might do a math minor

[quick linden]

[true heart]

Beyond just the basic ones like "intro to ML" or "AI" or "Robotics"

[tulip harbor]

Women?

[onyx sequoia]

I’m a woman accept me Purdue

[true heart]

Apply to rose hulman for free money

[onyx sequoia]

Why

[true heart]

free money

[sand aurora]

The middle of nowhere is where it's at

Purdue cs was the first cs program in the us

[sand aurora]

Women in stem

Are you doing engineering?

If so, apply to women in engineering if you decide to commit. You get good housing if you say you want to live with the community.

[tulip harbor]

i hate WiE but its something personal

theyre probably a great program

[blissful shoal]

Yo this gives me hope

I had like 4 Bs and 4 B+s

But I'm gonna apply to cs so maybe not 😭🙏

[shrewd forge]

What did you count as impressions?

[pliant garnet]

views on the app store

have like 5kish downloads

but impressions sounds cooler lmao

[shrewd forge]

ok yes i really agree on this

one of my websites has 1500ish users, but a lot more requests (100kish)

i felt it would be "cheating" if i mentioned the requests instead of user count

im gonna steal the term "impressions" lmao i really love it ty

[pliant garnet]

i mean thats the term apple uses lol

[pliant garnet]

as long as u dont lie about numbers, u can say what u want

if u got 100k requests

[shrewd forge]

thats true

[pliant garnet]

then u got 100k requests

[shrewd forge]

but it felt misleading

[pliant garnet]

nah u shud be good lol

[shrewd forge]

alr

[true heart]

How many credits per semester is normal in Purdue CS

[karmic parcel]

21 credits

[pliant garnet]

what

[pliant garnet]

depends on how many credits u have from before, but all my cs friends are between 16-18 because theyre tacking on a minor or a double major

[true heart]

Also what is the foreign language requirement like? I heard that you have to take two courses and a cultural course. That still applies if you took 3 years of language in HS, right? Or does that even still exist

[true heart]

are you being silly or is this manageable

[karmic parcel]

im being silly

21 credits would be too much

18 is alot even

[pliant garnet]

im genuinely not sure

depending on school there is a foreign language requirement

[true heart]

what is it like for you

[pliant garnet]

like i took three years of foreign language, and i still have to take it here

[true heart]

how many courses? Two?

[pliant garnet]

yeah i think so

[true heart]

Are the courses especially difficult

[pliant garnet]

i havent looked into it very much

but yeah i know someone who has been learning spanish since they were 3 yrs old and theyre getting stressed out abt the spanish course

[true heart]

bruh

[pliant garnet]

but im planning on waiving it thru study abroad instead of courses
