yes
idk how it works
yes
which state
??
.
im getting an aneurysm trying to follow this convo im ngl
L
if you have US passport you count as in state
but what state bro
Hong Kong
do you have a state ID
wait gtg bye
afaik, im prolly wrong, but wont u be counted as oos for every state if ur a us citizen living abroad?
idek
lmfao what a productive convo
What did I just read 😭
someone thats not familliar with how the us works
my thoughts exactly
Yea I could tell by the back and forth convo
in senior year?
oh
Senioritis hit hard
i see
Wait purdue guy did you have to send a mid year report after you got admitted?
or just final grades
Nah just year end transcript
ah sick
Yeahh I emailed admissions abt it

Not even gonna focus on Purdue rn
January seems like an eternity
I’ve been doomscrolling this server and a2c subreddit for days
so like 5-6 classes
bros got 7 classes 💀
ur insane
i dont speak any of the languages they have
my hs let me waive my foreign language req thru a language that mst colleges dont have
even if you speak any other language they allow you to
ik of people who got out of it because they spoke hindi
you just need to prove that you know about a different culture
ooh wait how do i go about doing that
cuz thatll make things so much easier
mail your advisor. they should point you towards someone who will then interview you
alright tysm!!
like tamil would work even though if it isnt like a “popular” language
wait thats so cool
you're insane
for college of sci theres also the three course pathway
wait whats that
im also wondering lol
omg the study abroad program looks so cool as someone who loves traveling
woww queen fr
whats that
a short-term study abroad. mine is like 2 weeks long
OHHH i see where at?
belize
WOAHH that sounds funnn
im very excited! its through the honors college, and i also actually got an honors college grant to do it!
wowww!! definition of winning academically
Woah that is awesome
hi
hallo
i forgot exactly what ur residency case was
but i rember it was a special case
was it similar to what Future is delaing with?
I did not backread
and also, shud i refer to u as smith, or smth else, just wanna make sure
but im basically oos everywhere
theyre a US citizen in hong kong
smith is fine! ty for checking
ah yeah then except a very small group of schools, you're a domestic/oos applicant
so you probably don't have to do stuff like IELTS/TOEFL (although some schools recommend but don't require)
so it just varies from school to school tbh
bc I think duke you still have to do ieltz
tyty!
hope that clears it up for them lol
lmao
we also have a room nicknamed the Jedi temple
Cuz it kinda looks like that conference room where the Jedi met
Does purdue like demonstrated interest for your major?
What's the general consensus on admission chances for rd cs
Wallahi ur cooked
Pretty much
should I still try or not waste money
are you oos
how was calc 3 @quick linden
pretty good ngl
It was so bad for me lmfao
the curve’s there to save us
Yessir
it'll be rough
yoooooo you were sitting to my right in the exam wtf are the odds
you were STRUGGLING on one of the problems I think it was the stokes one
yoooooooo you are sitting opposite me NOT STUDYING wtf are the odds
no way damn lmao
RIP my 4.0 cuh
are you doing that next sem?
Nah
for RIZZ 21000?
it happened finally
does this give plus points or what
ya
nah i just enjoy having mung chiang connected
Bet
lowk screwed up my purdue essay :(
a lot of colleges like that
let me in let me in
You’ll be fine homeboy
be ready for hell
thats all imma say
engineering gets so much worse as u progress, ur easiest semester is the final one
great
like
what math
im not able to take diff eq or calc 3
because highest class i could take in middle school was alg 1
u dont wanna take calc 2 here
as an engineer u wanna avoid that
this is future stuff
but if u get in, u wanna start exploring test-outs offered by the university to get the credit for the class through exams
its time consuming
but it will save u time and enegy
to focus on whats important
since alot of fye credits are really annoying
Is it a bad idea to add a math minor with eng?
nah
but u wont really declare a minor until latter part of sophmore yea
so give urself time to develop ur interests
and shit
cause math at purdue is sooo much different than hs
i declared a minor the summer before freshman year 💀
im thinking about adding another one
thanks !
It is march 31st and rolling release for rd
not sure if it is rolling for ea
is it hard?
how many can you do, realistically
there's a bunch I'd like to do but it seems like it'd be infeasible after a certain amount
classes be funky
I see
@tulip harbor @karmic parcel @shut lotus calc3 scores out
how we feeling about the curve 💀
depends on too many factors
I see
for example what major(s) you have, what minor(s) you're trying to add, how many credits you came in with, how long you're trying to spend to graduate, how many credits you're willing & able to take per semester
gotcha, thanks! Appreciate the insight
imma minor in math and polsci
dawg whats your major
im actually so fucking cooked
RIP my 4.0 dreams
i have psych and wanna add HDFS and maybe chem
how do you balance engineering and 2 minors
damn bruh
whats hdfs
its not a lot of extra classes/ effort
human development ans family sciences
mainly just my geneds and the math classes i have to take anyways
ooo
u wanna do engineering?
what engineering do you wanna do
its fine im still alive
Comp
ah
for compe you kinda have to go out of your way to do the math minor
thats what i did as meche
nah my roommate is compe
and he just plays valorant all day, idk when this dude works
but he also has a 4.0 this sem, so ig hes just insane
things get wayyy worse after fye
oh damn rly?
i thought fye was the hard part meant to weed u out
fye is just high school stuff for the most part
when you transition to an engineering major, that's when you start taking some of the most rigorous engineering classes in the country
WHAT
WHAT
I’m actually gotta hop off a building
He did calc 3 right
hes in diffeq rn
17 credits or smth
IMMA DIE
dudes chilling
like im staring at him playing val rn
its insane
how hes able to handle fye better than im handling shitting AI
You should be staring at your calc 2 papers instead
thats a really really good idea
@ruby cipher ROSE HULMMAN IS OUTT
HELL YEAH ERICE LETS GOOO
YAYYY RAHHH
Congrats gang
Huh purdue decisions are out?
90 i clutched the a
But remember they’re fye
Are they?
me when i lie
This
noo that was for rose hulman lol
Probably rose Hulman
Is that part of Purdue?
noo 😭 someone ik in this thread were talking abt it
yaya
lol I got scared
West laffeyete not out yet right
no
ive never laid my eyes on a final as abhorrent as calc 2
PLEASE waive calc 2 before coming here yall
nah not until next month
crazy how 2025 seems so far away
it was prettyyyyy bad
but jan is so close
thank goooood its not just me
praying for a curve
CS
fun fact: CS honors is basically CS with a math minor built into it
which is what I'm doing
CS itself is just a math class away from a math minor no?
Why you going out of your way to do physics and ece is beyond me
can we apply for honors after first yr?
I also have a friend down the hall from me who is similar. He grinds it out during the day and usually plays video games at night. Very high gpa and can graduate mech e in 3 years
Yes
Purdue is my safety!!!! 😻 (oos engineering from chicago suburbs
Purdue was actually my safety but it was also because I had another school that gave me an offer already
My other safety was Davis and I got WL lol
how the ef
That offer school was in the UK
!purdue
Are you me?
I'm pretty sure like half of all of purdue applicants are chicago sububians
oh my god there are so many chicagoans here
half of one of my friend groups are from chicago area
How many friend groups do you have jeez
3-4, but uve met like most if not all of them
That seems tiring
u met one during pancake night, u met one at harrisons, u a2cers, and then a bunch of ai majors that idt uve met
Ewww AI 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
ur going in the roko's basilisk list 
I only have one friend group
Because I’m just loyal like that
Nah I just cba to make new friends people scare me
half of purdue is just indiana
damn i just got two
people are fun
just some people are not fun
hey thats more than fine tho
uve met most of them too also
Can I get diversity acceptance?
I'm from north northeast
NV I assume from mutuals?
It’s a lot but Indiana are more
N valley?
Yea
wait you're part of ipsd too
no I'm white 💀
Nah I just have a ton of friends from all 3 schools
Oh real
So I’m in the server (idr why)
Yeah I guess
Hey
hi
!purdue
!purdue
!purdue
!purdue
!purdue
!purdue
!purdue
yeah, that and you have to take ma351 instead of ma265
physics is genuinely fun 😭
nah i dont hate myself like that
man looking at this for fye, i was perfect for them
hell yea
!purdue
you are genuinely insane
what major
giving me hope
u are beyond all help
cs
welcome to the team pal
lmao
I applied FYE
my supps were kinda midd
yea refere to this chart from fall 2022
my supps were about star trek and bridges
for purdue
damn they got harder and harder
dude
my supps were the most generic thing ever
will my supps make or break
Please take me Purdue.
they wont be the one thing to make or break
so dont worry about that
but u just gotta see how it goes
see these folks
they keep on saying this
so it must be rolling to a degree
Purdue is my #1
Northeastern is my 2
well u dont gotta worry about it first year
yeah
theyll give u something based on ur choices
for room type
but u cant choose location
unless ur in a learning community
i did vip, they had alot of people so they put me in cary quad
what engineering r u gonna do
i think it was the best decision ever
if i can pass these stupid ass fye classes, im tryna do mechE
why are they stupid
well theyre all made to be weedouts
i mean if i lock in for ap physics c
some more than others
i can skip mechanics
so many folks didnt get that
this will help
thats for engineering
and i have dual enrollment credit for multivariable calculus i think
its all accurate
https://selfservice.mypurdue.purdue.edu/prod/bzwtxcrd.p_select_info check this out for that
@karmic parcelwhat classes do u need to take freshman year for FYE
english
chemistry
language
ill show you
thatll get u far
u wanna focus on that 5
and the other
both will get u to essentially past most physics
this is if u got no credits
for anything
seeing how u seem to have multivar credit
then u dont need any of the calculus
if u get in
u can save urself alot of time by comiing in with credits
or doing test outs
2 semestes of english
check the ap credit website i sent
u can get outta with ap lang and lit
i got 3 on lang
so no go
rn im taking dual enroll english
lemme check if that goes for purdue
nice i got that as well
alright so if i lock in for physics ill be set for FYE
@karmic parceldo i need foreign language
nope
LETS GO
not unless u want to
i personally wont
yup yup yup
do ap chem if u can
if u wanna come to purdue and if u get in
rn im not doing so well in appc
get a 5 on all of em
i personally recommend to do something call epics
or vip
to save urself from those engr classes
whats that
from 131 and 132
epics is like an experience to get hands on engineering work
for a goal
that will actually get to people
vip is essentially teh same but its research based
is academics enough?? im hoping with all my might it is enough 😭
also theoretically if i wanted to double major in mathematics do i have to do the school of arts and sciences requirements too
or could i just do the math required major courses
see those fye engr classes are annoying
they take up space
but the class u will have to take instead of them
the VIP thing isnt actually a class?
cause u might do vip or engr 133
its a class
some of em are actual research
some of em are just clubs
that u get to be apart of
some of em are dogshit
epics is more organized but vip does have that research part of it
i see
chemistry?- why just why
and also what do u do in those english classes
i mean
that class has caused me much emotional pain
chem is better than english for sure
is it combined chem
the english classes here are light
light
inorganic, organic and physical?
i tell ya
yeah im cooked
all of highschool chem is one unit
im cooked
i took my chem final
and knew 1/3 of it
ill take ap chem then 😭
shits wicked
can i see 0_0
if u take ap chem and get a good score
then u also dont have to take the fye elective
yall what engineering do yall wanna do?
and i kept first major as cs 
and choose here
ah
can it be cleared out by that uh
the english classes here are light
n in his
all those that are bold
are engr credits
that theyll take
ap csa wont help u
whats teh issue?
i hate bio
u dont gotta take bio if u dont wanna
this is probably
the worst
CHEM?? GOD NO PLEQASE NO
u can take an optional seminar
yes
but u can get out of chem a few ways
ap chem credit
i did nto take ap chem
what do u guys do in this
thatll get u outta ur fye credit as well
so that class and 133
those classes save time
133 is for those who do vip and epics
learning communtieis
130 is a class that essentially makes u do 131 and 132
when im saying all those im refreencing engr13100
and 13200
and 13300, and 13000
so these classes are essentially
foundations and profiency in these things:
execl
statistical anaylsis
understanding data
and how to derive information from it
presentation of data
Ooo
All the main requirements basically
are all used to esseitally do that
Damn that's cool
then u have to do some hellish team project in engr 130 and engr 133
and a cool indivudual in both
both of those are one semester long
engr 131 and 132 are those classes if u split them into two
How long is a semester
i started in august ended this week
so 3 months
technically its 4
but we dont count teh winter
a normal year is two semesters
Oh
and the summer
u can do winter but its kinda useless
the summer and winter are when things really cost extra
Oh shit
u say this, but these engr 133 is a weedout class, it is super fucking tedious
oh my fucking god
I don't think I'll be going back to home on summers or winters
i hated every second of it
Atleast I would get a taste of what it is lmao
u want to go home by the end
after finals
shits so depressing
oh yea these classes are not easy
I procrastinate kn normal school work 😭
so did i
i had to leanr why not to that
Does it get better from now on
ive asked engineers
in their majors
yknow what theyve told me
...
0_0
i-
I might as well drown in some random pond nearby my house
nah
Oh hell nah
its that purdue grit u need
itll be ass
itll be tough
somedays ull cry
and tweak out
but if u know the resources u got
and the people around u
shit u can do anything
bro ive had an interesting semester
this is literally my first
i graduated in june
shit was wicked
I asked chatgpt to like predict my acceptances and rejections and I sent that chance me type template
Frfr
also if ur gonna do purdue
i recommend boiler gold rush
if u get in
like this is all based on if u get in
Got rejected from all my reaches and got in all my targets and safeties
What's that
ill be able to give u alot more information if u get in
week long orientation
Is it like a scholarship
Oh damn
but its irl
I mean
Woah damn
def do BGR if ur going to purdue
My introverted ass would love it
u know u were totally right
Should I do hello world Purdue if I get in
bgr
My BGR was kinda mid
was the best thing ever
But I still recommend
i know
even tho i literally never meet my bgr group
my BGR was personally mid but it helped with acclimating to campus which is so important
My ex talking stages entire friend group is from BGR and four people date each other
i also met taybf in person for first time during BGR and the online friends id made
It’s fucking weird
💀
that musta been fun
my friends TL hit on her and 2 of the other girls in her BGR group... oops!
Real I met Lagrange and purdude and more
but a few of my friends are gonna be TLs now
Aw hell nah
i might do that next summer
ive met u, and purdude, and someone else
Sanj
yeah
From a couple days back
He’s chill he just keep beating me up
Anyways Purdue is great 10/10
bgr is also a great time to just meet folks who are like u
are there any scholarships 😭
did u apply ea
Probably
yeahh itll help me come out of my bubble
yeah
Oh you’re intl? Yeah no
i didnt get any scholarships
Aren’t you from Ohio
i got scholarship
the poster award thing is the first scholarship ill be getting
yeah
Did you apply TOSU
the greatest scholarship
yeah
oh shit what how much is that
i got scholarships there
Why didn’t you go tho
the presidential scholarshiop
no clue
woah how
would you want to go to college 10 minutes from your house?
ur us citizen? @karmic parcel
He is
i was worried about not allowing myself to branch out & actually adult if my parents were always gonna be that close
yeah then ofc he would get
Ah fair enough
intls have no chance
yep
Yeah all intls are full pay
and even students with high stats and shit
still dont get the scholarship
i just got it
scholarships at purdue are v hard to get esp bc tuition is so low already
College is just boarding school with more freedom
i am grateful that my parents can afford university
i think i spent a bit too much money on books
and hey, maybe my brothers fund can get split between me and my sister since he wont be doing jack shit!
Imma do this shit in 3 years hopefully rawrrrrr
never spend on books...
and my paretns will be mad at me
Huhhh
i am so on the fence between 3 and 4
bc like 4 is more time to prep for grad
my bank account is a few hunnid lower than they wanted
Nah some classes force us to buy a $200 book
but 3 = save money
im cooked
well avoid when you can
MFET
well obvs
but we will cross that bridge when we get there
I rented all my SCLA books
i bought them
and ill be selling them on ebay
What do you think about a 3+1 instead of 4+1 or separate masters
or purdue marketplace
I cba
i think 3+1 / 4+1 can be great options if purdue has the right masters for you
cba?
it just doesnt for me, which is unfortunate
Dante’s inferno went to the psych ward with me
Couldn’t be arsed
that sounds ass to go to college 2 weeks early
Sad where are you thinking
For masters
My summer already starts in July
see it wasnt
it really wasnt
cause i got my room settled a week early
i got to meet folks
cause i was coming from delaware
so i was afar from home
lib g e n
why is that blacklisted wtf
first week
Yeah I pulled Lagrange into a private discord chat and we have been friends since
What kinda nerd
were cool
all kinds
What nerd are you
Mainly engineering nerds
car nerds
And gamblers
f1
weather nerd I suppose is one
is massive
GC programs do a match process but in a perfect world ohio state
What is that
theres folks there
What’s GC
oh never mind
i thought i would never find star trek fans my age
someone who is a nerd for the weather
i was wrong
That’s good
theres like 6 of us
i have spoken about it enough
Yeah I know
Dude Purdue has like 45 k people
You’ll find someone
52k
There’s a furry club
Mb
theres an f1 watching club
do u just sit and check the weather for every place in existence? 😭
If not you can start your own club
Is there a therian club
F1111111111111111111
I don’t know
yeah tbh
YOOOO
i wanna revive the purdue star trek club
it is massive here
I’d say no
how did that shit die tbh
But furdue is a club
yeah im pulling up with a f1 hoodie on my first day
Go for it
2008 financial crisis
Is there a christian furries organization
There’s f1 club
bro paula saw someone at hilly wearing fursuit feet once and she commented and said "those look so warm! they remind me of the yeti pjs i got for my great nieces and nephews"
u can start one
i love paula sm
specifically midwest presbyterian
theres two
yeahh
Who’s Paula
i mean makes sense there is a whole entire grand prix
If you like making cars there’s a lot of clubs for that
have u ever heard of purdue grand prix
also guys how was purdue grand prix
one of the lady who swipes you in at hillenbrand
I didn’t go
its in teh spring
shes the one with reddish hair
I’m not in grand prix
Ah
im technically apart of a team
its one of the reasons im applying to purdue
love her so much
I’m in Purdue electric racing
but im not doing anything
shes the nicest human ever
I will recruit for PER
im in lunabotics
what that
join us
anyone want to join Purdue electric racing aerodynamics team dm me
yeah bet
Purdue electric racing
ill try my shot at aero
these mfs arent even in college yet
That’s sweet
they arent even accepted
if i like it fuck cs im going mech
I dmed the head engineer for FSAE before I arrived
I think moon robots sounds cooler I want to do that
Dude the lead electronics chief at PER is a CS major
woah dam
lunabotics is cool
im apart of the buckets subteam
Yeah go talk to la grange
no i meant designing the car
we make buckets
Ohhhh
for scooping
i wanted to join f1
Gotta wait until May for that typa shit
Real
but oh well uk work visa slapped right onto my face
momenet u get in
lagrange himself is at Purdue
got rejected from my ED I'm really hoping I get Purdue EA now 🙏
hit me up
Nah I might get into Penn or UIUC
then I will jump ship
damn
You can join internships later down the line
uiuc is a good one
Which
CMU
really?
if ur doing engineering
Sorry bro
For McLaren at least
CS?
isnt it british
I love paying less money
According to my bf Purdue CS is for the passionate not for the ones that do it for the money
I like the AI major cirriculum better at Penn
fiar
@pliant garnet
what's your major?
at Penn it is more focused on the technical aspects
Eh
me and jamie are first year engineering
Yep
but we are both tryna do mechE
Mhm
Oh sick, I've applied MechE
that fucking gpa
Real
ur gonna be in our boat
ur applied for fye
Hopefully I clutch up this sem
Oh yeah
for that 3.2 gpa
3.2 GPA
here
mhm
do u like choose
Yeah
Gimme a sec
pretty much u choose the major
does the lunabotics club use expect programming language
so we are split between different subteams
How does that work exactly? When I applied I chose MechE as my first choice and Electrical as my second
we have a coding/software subteam
who does the coding
This is specifically the meche program
they are the goats
But the FYE parts are the same for all engineers
also I didn't take much chemistry in highschool is that gonna be a challenge
Yes
No
you have to do fye for 2 years??
You can try that
Not yet as I haven't yet recieved acceptance although I have a 4.0 GPA and 1540 SAT so 🤞
its showing 8 sems
Hebrew should be satisfying your gen Ed’s if you wanna do that
You’ll be fine
EA is light imo
u essentially applied for fye twice
Do you think I can get honors college
Awesome
totoaly
I see
I can’t answer that I was too lazy to apply
but u wont be losing out on much
3.95 smthin gpa and 1460 im cooked
