Purdue University (2024-2025)

[karmic parcel]

https://purdue.catalog.acalog.com/preview_program.php?catoid=17&poid=31878&returnto=22868 heres the degree requirements

if u dont wanna do coding that much, do electrical engineering

like agriculural engineering?

or just agriculture majors

[karmic parcel]

cause the engineering means ur in the same pool as everyone else

[obsidian glacier]

ig this is where i wanna go

[karmic parcel]

u gotta get past fye first

[obsidian glacier]

yeah ill do that but

[fringe gyro]

Yeah just agri majors in general

[karmic parcel]

but type shit tho

[obsidian glacier]

the end goal

idek bro

[karmic parcel]

not horrendous to get into

[karmic parcel]

always keep on open mind

[obsidian glacier]

i say i wanna do ai but it would be beyond my reach

[karmic parcel]

our interests shift and change

there might be a concetraction

or degree that works best for u

its all in the plan of study

u can really find that out

[obsidian glacier]

i said i wanted to do aero in my 10th and all and use to absolutely hated coding and here i am

[fringe gyro]

So doing RD I still hv chances

[obsidian glacier]

i have a question

for a semester

u can have specific number of

credits u can take right

[karmic parcel]

rd is still hard overall, but dont fret

[obsidian glacier]

so for fye

[karmic parcel]

we shall see how it does

[obsidian glacier]

do u just do all

like intro to mech

intro to comp eng

[karmic parcel]

most amount of credit hours u can do a semester is 18

[obsidian glacier]

intro to ee

[karmic parcel]

its not like that

so we got our overall classes

that everyone gotta do

[fringe gyro]

Should hv done EA🥲

[karmic parcel]

then we got classes that some majors gotta do

theres overlap between some and others

[obsidian glacier]

oh

[karmic parcel]

but for most its just the general

[obsidian glacier]

but then how to like

yk check if lets say

[fringe gyro]

Purdue does track demonstrated interest right

[obsidian glacier]

aeronautical

is for me

[karmic parcel]

cant change the past, u just do it

[karmic parcel]

i think so

[obsidian glacier]

without taking those intro classes

is that possible?

[karmic parcel]

the intro classes for aero are after u get into aero

in fye ur just a freshman

interested in engineering

so ull take teh gen ed freshman classes

[fringe gyro]

True, I just hope it’s not all that competitive

[karmic parcel]

for aero and mechE

[obsidian glacier]

did u have interest in mech from start or did u find it out

[karmic parcel]

u need a 3.2 gpa

[obsidian glacier]

after getting into purdue

[karmic parcel]

i uh wanted to do aero caused rockets, but realized im not 100 percent set

so i did mechE cause its gives the same opportunities

[obsidian glacier]

yeah

[karmic parcel]

if i have space in my schedule, ill do some aeroclasses

[obsidian glacier]

i guess i narrowed it down to just two choices

[karmic parcel]

but thats in teh fall

[obsidian glacier]

cs or ce

cuz idek what happens in ee

i have legit 0 clue

about it

[karmic parcel]

u know u can check

like teh classes they do

[obsidian glacier]

yeah like

i never found that yk

interest

to do ee

idk how to say it but u get the point hopefully

and im scared to take ce cuz i feel

its gonna be like 100x harder

and ill fail all my classes and shi

[karmic parcel]

its all gonna be hard

as someone who is doing this for the first time

[thin flower]

organic id amazing

[karmic parcel]

u really just gotta find teh info out urself

[thin flower]

is

[obsidian glacier]

yeah

its all

[karmic parcel]

i found my info from upperclassmen

[obsidian glacier]

new found

[karmic parcel]

cause they know it personally

[obsidian glacier]

yeah i have to get habituated with that

here we get feed info

[karmic parcel]

and any engineer i ask is like," yea its tough, it sucks, but we do it cause we like it"

[obsidian glacier]

and there are specific guidelines premade

which we have to just follow

[karmic parcel]

nah here u can really do alot of stuff

theres options

which is scary

[obsidian glacier]

yeah its a very different

change

[karmic parcel]

thats why i chose mechE

[obsidian glacier]

ill be soon experiencing(hopefully)

[karmic parcel]

cause i have options

[karmic parcel]

even if its not at purdue

ull be fine

it all works out

like for example

last monday

[obsidian glacier]

the thing with purdue is

[karmic parcel]

i took my chem exam

i knew i failed

[obsidian glacier]

u got a whole year to figure out ur major

[karmic parcel]

i was scared i would fail

i failed that shit

[obsidian glacier]

oh

[karmic parcel]

then i was scared i would fail teh class

have to redo

but i asked my resources

the teachers

the advisors

the engineers

and they reassured me that retaking a class is normal

[obsidian glacier]

ahh

[karmic parcel]

that if it comes down to that, u can always retake and override the grade

and i was reassured

now i know i passed

i got a 73.8

for the class

thats a C

the uncertainty of it all is scary

[obsidian glacier]

yeah when i first saw this

[karmic parcel]

but u just gotta do it

and see how it turns out

[obsidian glacier]

how my cs degree went type videos and people getting Bs and Cs

i was kind of shocked

[karmic parcel]

oh yea it is very much true

now i know folks who will get a 4.0

this year

im not getting htat

im at least gettign a 3.1

but thats alright

[obsidian glacier]

ah its ok u got 3 yrs to improve it

[karmic parcel]

its first semester of freshman year

i got 7 semesters to improve

[obsidian glacier]

yeahh

[karmic parcel]

its not over until its over

[obsidian glacier]

yessir

[karmic parcel]

and comparison never helps anyone

we all in our own journies

so its alright if u dont know

[obsidian glacier]

comparison is the thief of joy

[obsidian glacier]

yeah

[karmic parcel]

cause contrary to popular belief

[obsidian glacier]

ill prolly spend the whole jan feb

[karmic parcel]

everyone dont got a damn clue what their doing

[obsidian glacier]

researching everything abt cs and ce

[karmic parcel]

everyone just winging it

[karmic parcel]

thats what id do

[obsidian glacier]

and im scared of winging it

[karmic parcel]

get a better idea about what ur gonna do

[karmic parcel]

we all are

taking a step into the abyss

its scary

but theres no alternative

nobody got all the answers

u just gonna have to make ur path through the darkness

[obsidian glacier]

damn 😭

yeah thats some god damn motivation

yeah ill have to train myself for the next 6 months or so

to tackle this

[karmic parcel]

bro it has gotten so bad sometimes

this type of motivation

is cruicial

tough but fun times ahead

[obsidian glacier]

yeah

also

uh one more thing

ill be taking aps next yr

to basically clear off all gen eds

so uh as of now im dead set on ap calc bc

do u think its better to like learn coding at uni or just write that ap csa

cuz i feel like i might be missing out on some stuff if i just skip these intro classes with ap credits

[karmic parcel]

u dont learn at uni

u teach urself

do ap csa

where ull have a teacher to help u

[obsidian glacier]

im pretty sure ill have to learn online

[karmic parcel]

also with compE, no cs class is skipped

[obsidian glacier]

our school does not offer any aps

[karmic parcel]

with cs tho, it might be skipped

[karmic parcel]

oh i see

ur self studying

[obsidian glacier]

yeah

[karmic parcel]

well thatll teach u how to study

essentially in classes ur just doing that

teaching urself]

[obsidian glacier]

im hoping yt will come in clutch

[obsidian glacier]

what abt the lectures from the professors

[karmic parcel]

it always does

i recommend khan academy

and their thingys

[obsidian glacier]

for coding as well?

[karmic parcel]

yep

in combo with youtube

[obsidian glacier]

ah alr bet

[karmic parcel]

mixed bag fr, sometimes they teach, sometimes they tell u to not come to lectures cause they wont teach

[obsidian glacier]

ah damn

if they dont come what are we paying credits for

and uh what other aps do u recommend

im pretty confident i can get 4 or 5 in both phy aps but would it help?

[karmic parcel]

so ill show u what purdue engineering will take

just know the bolded ones are what acc counts

[obsidian glacier]

nono i meant like

[karmic parcel]

https://engineering.purdue.edu/ENE/Academics/Undergrad/FYE/AP

[obsidian glacier]

some courses

would be better

if learnt in uni

[karmic parcel]

nah

[obsidian glacier]

compared to self learnt

[karmic parcel]

dont do that

[obsidian glacier]

ah there isnt any like that

alr then

[karmic parcel]

u wanna use all ur credits

to skip gen eds

and fye classes

cause they dont teach u like that

[obsidian glacier]

hmm okay

[karmic parcel]

also do calc bc

u dont wanna do calc 2 here

[obsidian glacier]

yeah

[karmic parcel]

@pliant garnet knows well about calc 2

[obsidian glacier]

is it hard or

[karmic parcel]

its beyond hard

[pliant garnet]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

https://tenor.com/view/sad-smile-person-gif-3593640814102488583

[karmic parcel]

see from all the folks who i know who are taking it

its like hell

vietnam

for them

[obsidian glacier]

how can we skip it when its like exponentially hard compared to calc bc

[obsidian glacier]

oh damn

😭

[pliant garnet]

ive never struggled in math before until now

and im struggling

[obsidian glacier]

wow

[pliant garnet]

bro idk, but not taking bc has been the worst choice ive ever made

[karmic parcel]

taking bc was the best thing ever

got outta the fye calc classes

calc 3 tho

man

[obsidian glacier]

can i see some of those questions

[karmic parcel]

it dont get easier

[karmic parcel]

oh yea

[obsidian glacier]

i like calculus

[karmic parcel]

we all say this

[obsidian glacier]

yeah i wanna burst that bubble

[karmic parcel]

ur taking ma 162 right?

[obsidian glacier]

ihnc what that is

[pliant garnet]

i dont have them 😔

[karmic parcel]

its ma 162 right?

[pliant garnet]

yepsters

[karmic parcel]

u wanna see these questions

https://www.boilerexams.com/courses/MA16200/exams/Fall-2022-Final/e9538440-baa7-4a2e-b7db-f89caea8ddf9

[obsidian glacier]

hell yeah

WHY IS IT GEOMETRY

[karmic parcel]

wdym

its analytical geometry

[obsidian glacier]

yeah cooked

but the names are very familiar

mclaurin series

[karmic parcel]

oh i think this was an easier exam than what purdude had to take

[obsidian glacier]

i-

easier..?-

[karmic parcel]

https://www.boilerexams.com/courses/MA16200/exams/Spring-2022-Final/cd284a0d-9523-46cd-8183-e603f4350eed

it dont make to me that calc 2 is doing cross products

and dot products

shit aint related

[karmic parcel]

also these exams are no calculator

[pliant garnet]

this semester has been worse than average

[obsidian glacier]

bro who are these people

[obsidian glacier]

😭

even here

they give lengthy asf calculations and expect us to solve everything

[karmic parcel]

this is purdue

[obsidian glacier]

and the options are so close

[karmic parcel]

and purdue math is just hard

[obsidian glacier]

like 2.82 2.83

we cant even use approximations 😭

[karmic parcel]

the upperclassmen have to avising me to do the math in other colleges

then transfer credit

[obsidian glacier]

oh my

[karmic parcel]

im just gonna not do that

cause i can start prepping in the break

imma do all my notes now

[obsidian glacier]

yeahh

[karmic parcel]

then build upon them with the lectures

[obsidian glacier]

i feel like many of them are familiar

[karmic parcel]

maybe u shoulda used chenflix

[pliant garnet]

they changed the curriculum

[obsidian glacier]

thanks a lot @karmic parcel for all of the advice and help

[pliant garnet]

the average gpa for calc 2 is 2.43 here

:(

[obsidian glacier]

out of 4?

thats hard

[pliant garnet]

ye

[obsidian glacier]

damn

[karmic parcel]

wtf

they really hate yall

so yea

calc 2

is something u wanna avoid

its a weedout class in the purest form

and this is for any college

just avoid calc 2

[obsidian glacier]

ill make sure to grind enough to get 5 in calc bc

[obsidian glacier]

yeahh

[karmic parcel]

yep, acc they take a 4

for engineering

[obsidian glacier]

oo thats great

[karmic parcel]

i know cause i got a 4

[obsidian glacier]

nice nice

thanks yall ill go keep myself busy for 3 hrs with some random school work before i die with anxiety when duke results come out

adios

[karmic parcel]

adios

[fiery goblet]

hello purdue please accept with 50% aid for funny

[tulip harbor]

Since when did you get nitro

[karmic parcel]

since my friend gave me nitro for my birthday. she only gave me it for a month.

[tulip harbor]

I see

[karmic parcel]

i boosted a few servers

this was the last

[true heart]

Purdue give me money NOW

[storm zodiac]

Chat the applicant portal's home page shows "complete" with an arrow in white right .... why is the text in black out of nowhere or am i being delusional

[tulip harbor]

Don’t think too much about it

[storm zodiac]

T-T

[loud crow]

me when im mixed AND live in indiana 😈

idk why my chat auto set to those messages lmao but

[true heart]

They can't consider race anymore 💀

[karmic parcel]

They do like in state student

[obsidian glacier]

i wish it worked out for me for duke

its all a myth

😔

[karmic parcel]

It be like that

[fringe gyro]

I got a 6 in Chemistry HL...does this mean I get all these credit hours? how does this work

[tulip harbor]

Yeah you get CHM115 and 116. What major are you thinking of?

[fringe gyro]

biochem college of ag

[tulip harbor]

Yeah you’ll be fine just get your transcript sent in after you commit so you get your credits

[loud crow]

true but it was mainly a joke lmaoo

[fringe gyro]

do I have to put one?

[sinful viper]

biochem college of ag might not want those credits and will ask you to retake a different genchem

just an fyi

my lab patner has been biochem in ag the past few semesters and they had her take chm129 instead (gen chem for bio majors & its also only 1 semester)

[fringe gyro]

I see

but on the website it does have chm 11500

[sinful viper]

interesting. what orgo does it have yall take according to that? and when?

[violet copper]

good luck yall

😭

[karmic parcel]

damn what happened

[violet copper]

accepted by ed

[karmic parcel]

ahh

[violet copper]

[karmic parcel]

i see

ur better than me

[violet copper]

nah

[karmic parcel]

i didnt even reject my other applications

i just left them to rot

[violet copper]

i dony wanna waste seat

[velvet hare]

bro thinks hes him

🔥

[karmic parcel]

there is no seat wasted

thats not really how they work

[violet copper]

😱

[karmic parcel]

until u comfirm

then the seat hasnt been taken

[violet copper]

make sense

🙏

whatever

good luck applicants

🙏🙏🙏

[sand aurora]

chicago area, bay area, and nj are the top three areas where purdue oos people are from

[karmic parcel]

idk why theres so many folks from new jersey

it also suprises me theres a good number of delaware people

[sand aurora]

cause purdue engineering is much better than rutgers engineering

[karmic parcel]

in proportion to delaware's graduate class of high school seniors

like 20 people outta 10k

[sand aurora]

also, I grew up with people perceiving rutgers as a shitty option

now, the school is getting better and people are starting to respect it more

but growing up, it was like a mid school

nothing great

plus, rutgers sucks in the sense that everyone complains about the dorms, food, buses, and there is no campus life on weekends

cause everyone goes home

yes, purdue has dorm and bus issues, but we are able to somewhat avoid them. Rutgers on the other hand, their campus is cut off by a highway

[sand aurora]

Seattle area, Ohio, and Tenessee also have a decent chunk of people

[karmic parcel]

i have met alot of tennesee folks

its pretty interesting ngl

[sand aurora]

two of the guys on my floor are from tenessee

[karmic parcel]

folks in delaware percieve it as a great option ngl

purdue is not in the eyes of us at all

[sand aurora]

really

[karmic parcel]

weirdly nobody acc knew about purude

unless they were in their 40s or older

[sand aurora]

damn

[sand aurora]

ig rutgers engineering is more name recognition compared to udel

and campus is probably bigger I assume

but yeah, rutgers today is definetely becoming a pretty decent option

the flood of oos people applying last year decreased admission rates

and rutgers is now a t40 school i think + good proximity to philly and nyc

[sand aurora]

no

if you put something down, I think what it does is they give your info to the respective department

and if you commit to the university, I think they will send you more info about that activity

I remember getting an email from the choir department lol sometime after committing to the university

[sand aurora]

definetely do well on the bc exam. Calc 2 sucks and with bc credit, you can go straight to calc 3

[sand aurora]

dot and cross products came in handy for the final. Mainly cause it was free points lol

[karmic parcel]

thats fair

[karmic parcel]

calc 3 is an iffy one

if u can visualize in ur mind

its easier

if u cant, like me, shits tough

[sand aurora]

calc 2 brought back memories of struggling through precalc honors

[violet copper]

wt duck, how comes u visualize things in mind?

😱

[sand aurora]

the thing with calc 3 is it isn't a weedout

calc 2 is the biggest weedout for fye I feel

[karmic parcel]

its not a weedout

its just base level purdue hard

it only gets harder from here on out

[sand aurora]

as long as it is not a weedout, I'll take it

[karmic parcel]

oh for sure

i think it was a good way to start off college

u fail

and win

and learn to pick ur battles

[sand aurora]

calc 2 tanked my gpa lol

what a way to start college

I don't think I have ended a class with less than a B

until calc 2 showed up

[karmic parcel]

my gpa is gonna be low

cause i fucked up with chem

but no more chem ever

so thats a positive

im not redoing the class]

[sand aurora]

that's good

[sand aurora]

i have to do chem next sem

do you have to do physics

[karmic parcel]

organic chemistry is half the final

[karmic parcel]

yep

im kinda scared

[sand aurora]

physics is not bad

the average is a b+

[karmic parcel]

physics is my other bad subject

besides chem

[sand aurora]

I didn't pay attention in class and got an A

take advantage of the extra credit

[karmic parcel]

my biggest issue is just justifying and conceptualizing stuff

cause app1

was all that

is it like app1?

[sand aurora]

and also, they give you a practice exam that is almost the same as the actual exam

[sand aurora]

yes in the sense that there is no calculus

[karmic parcel]

i heard about that

[sand aurora]

yeah

so if you study that, you should be fine

[karmic parcel]

well i should start studying it in this break

[sand aurora]

I would say its inbetween ap1 and apc

[karmic parcel]

i see

so its not as fully conceptual as physics 1

but still not calculus

[sand aurora]

no

more plug and chug

no calc needed

[karmic parcel]

my type of thing

[sand aurora]

nice

[karmic parcel]

chem is pure concepts

memorization

[sand aurora]

rip

me

i hate chem

[karmic parcel]

yea also i ddint really go to lectures

[sand aurora]

am much better at physics

[karmic parcel]

cause the lecturers got worse

[ruby cipher]

purdue please let me in

[karmic parcel]

so it kinda fucked me over

[sand aurora]

oh

[karmic parcel]

each recording is 50 minutes

and tehres like 40 of em

i wasnt watching allat

[sand aurora]

I'm going to all lectures next sem cause I didn't go to class for calc 2 and got screwed over

[karmic parcel]

i simply did the boiler exams

[sand aurora]

fair

[karmic parcel]

yea so i think its fair i am gonna get a C or C+

cause i didnt go to lectures like that

[sand aurora]

a pass is a pass

[karmic parcel]

true

[sand aurora]

and c's get degrees

[karmic parcel]

for real

comes with engineering

[sand aurora]

maybe not for fye but afterwards

but one c in fye shouldn't hurt you

[karmic parcel]

i have another

or i might

seeing how calc 3 goes

they could curve a 74 to a B-

[sand aurora]

Hopefully they do

[karmic parcel]

hopefully

[sand aurora]

the calc 2 curve was garbage

3 percent

[karmic parcel]

really?

[sand aurora]

last semester it was 10

[karmic parcel]

what was this sem?

[sand aurora]

3 percent curve

spring 24 was 10 percent

[karmic parcel]

💀

3?

[sand aurora]

I got the exact amount of questions needed on the final to pass without a curve

so I got lucky with that

[sand aurora]

yeah, it was horrendous

our professor disregarded the fact that we did bad on the first midterm

he made it harder than boilerexams

much harder

[karmic parcel]

why do they this

they did that for our second calc 3 midterm

as hard as the pre-21st century exams

they literally havent used those typa questions in 20 years

[karmic parcel]

grades are our

[karmic parcel]

yea it seems tehy also gave us a 3 percent curve

[sinful viper]

bro i havnt gotten anything to load yet

its attrocious

[sand aurora]

Damn

That's also rough

[karmic parcel]

it loaded then stopped loading

[karmic parcel]

its good tho

still got a 3.2 gpa

[sinful viper]

i have 3/7 classes in

😭

[karmic parcel]

im around there

[sand aurora]

You have 7 classes!!

[sinful viper]

i got it to load on the transcript but not elsehwre

[sinful viper]

yeah, i had 2x 2 credit classes and 1x 1 credit class

and then 3x 3 credit classes and 1x 4 credit

[sand aurora]

Damn. The grind is real

I have a 1,2,3,4, and 5 credit class

[karmic parcel]

i had 7

ill have 6-7 next sem

its not horrible

its just alot

[sinful viper]

it def depends on what you r taking

[velvet hare]

oh nah

[velvet hare]

NOO

[fluid sequoia]

Purdue your a W school

[pliant garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/hai-gif-10567033442484308038

[obsidian glacier]

@sand aurora bro are u from indian origin or did u go from india

[sand aurora]

Indian origin. My parents did all their education in India but I was fully raised in the us

[obsidian glacier]

ah icic

i wanted to ask cuz some relatives relative got into purdue with some scholarship

so i thought it might be possible for intl students

[sand aurora]

Damn

It probably is

Just very competitive

Only 10 percent of students get a university scholarship

From purdue

[obsidian glacier]

including

domestic?

yeah im cooked

some random guy with a 1550 sat score and goated ecs finna rob my scholarship

[karmic parcel]

I got a scholarship with none of that

I still don't know why I got the scholarship. I'm just like that though

[obsidian glacier]

ur a intl?

[karmic parcel]

Technically I was three years ago

But that citizenship came around

[obsidian glacier]

when u applied to purdue

[karmic parcel]

A year ago

[obsidian glacier]

also are there any academic scholarships

after

[karmic parcel]

Oh yes there are

[obsidian glacier]

first year

[karmic parcel]

Yup they exist

[obsidian glacier]

how good are they

[karmic parcel]

I don't know.I always miss the deadlines

[obsidian glacier]

and how goated should the grades be for those

[karmic parcel]

But I know they exist

[obsidian glacier]

oh sad

[karmic parcel]

There's a few frat scholarships that you can apply to

There's a few minority scholarships

[obsidian glacier]

approx how much would you get

[karmic parcel]

There's some stuff around

[karmic parcel]

A few thousand

[obsidian glacier]

minority in the sense

uh

[karmic parcel]

Nothing insane, but it really does help to pay for a semester

[obsidian glacier]

for only

like

population in purdue

or

[karmic parcel]

Minority population in regard to Americans

Intl are that

[obsidian glacier]

oh indians are 23.1% of intl student body

yep i aint eligible for that ig 😔

[karmic parcel]

No you would still be

Indians are a minority population in the united states

[obsidian glacier]

2.2% of entire student body

[obsidian glacier]

if u dont mind could you share your stats in dms

if you want to

[karmic parcel]

I can do it here

[obsidian glacier]

yeah np

[karmic parcel]

1410,3.96 gpa

2 ecs

[obsidian glacier]

o

damn

[karmic parcel]

Above average but nothing insane

I did a few competitions, but they weren't stem related

[obsidian glacier]

the thing with me is that

i legit have no honors

basically no ecs except from the usual uh

charity stuff

[karmic parcel]

And that's all right

It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality

[obsidian glacier]

yeahh

[karmic parcel]

Usually the less you do, the more energy you can put into them

I talked about my e c's in my essays

[obsidian glacier]

i kept a lot of efforts in my club

[karmic parcel]

CuzI know a lot about tennis and my other club.Since they're all I do

[obsidian glacier]

i founded this geopolitcs club

and my personal statement is entirely on geopolitics

shall i include this club or

just include other stuff

[karmic parcel]

I recommend that you put everything. That will establish a complete picture about be you as a person

If the geopolitical club is something, that's you, put your time and effort into then for sure, put it on that application

It doesn't matter if you're doing stem or nonstem, the essays are about you

[obsidian glacier]

yeahh got it

one more thing

today me and my friends were having this discussion on whether undergrad in us is worth it especiallly in financial standpoint

i mean see i have chance of getting in kind of top colleges in india but then i feel like us is far far better

you have seen a lot right like how us works and all

do u think its worth it in the long run?

[karmic parcel]

Personally, undergrad in the united states might not be the move

I came to the u s when my parents came here doing their masters, and their whole motivation was like it was cheaper, than undergrad

But it really comes down to how you want to do things, because it might be cheaper.But some opportunities can be lost

[obsidian glacier]

oh

[karmic parcel]

See, it's gonna be something that you're just going to have to deliberate on and research a bit,

[obsidian glacier]

yeah im gonna have to research a lot

the main reason i lost hopes on us is because of trump

and i might be going to us while trump is there

[karmic parcel]

Yeah that's totally fair bro

[autumn crystal]

nothing ever reacts

[tulip harbor]

I’m in this photo and I don’t like it

[obsidian glacier]

thats your post?

[tulip harbor]

No but Purdue was my backup

[obsidian glacier]

its my main school atp

[tulip harbor]

I also got into UIUC Aero RD

[obsidian glacier]

i aint getting anywhere 😭

[karmic parcel]

lucky

[obsidian glacier]

oh wow

[karmic parcel]

uiuc was my safety

i got rejected

[obsidian glacier]

safety-

[tulip harbor]

Yeah that was Davis

Waitlisted

[karmic parcel]

i misjudged

[tulip harbor]

Same here

[obsidian glacier]

😭

[tulip harbor]

I was just lucky

[karmic parcel]

working off of outdated info

[obsidian glacier]

its like my dream school

[karmic parcel]

same i got lucky

[obsidian glacier]

ultra reach

[tulip harbor]

But you’re CS right

[obsidian glacier]

yes

thats even worse

[tulip harbor]

Yes

[grim sonnet]

hey

how's purdue's ai program?

its my alternative program to cs

[eager kelp]

Cyber!!!

[pliant garnet]

I rly like it so far

It’s rly similar to cs, but it is specializing in ai

It’s super similar to the cs major with ml concentration

[obsidian glacier]

do u get to make robots and stuff too?

[pliant garnet]

Nah that’s engineering

But there are clubs and research groups where u can

[obsidian glacier]

oh

demn i see

[pliant garnet]

I’m in one, I had the ppportunitiy to do robotics stuff but chose to stick to software

[obsidian glacier]

ah i see

[ruby cipher]

doom

[ruby cipher]

me 2

[pliant garnet]

So we don’t have any ai grads yet, the first ai class are sophomores rn

But cmu has an ai major, and it’s starting salaries averages are super strong at 140k

[eager kelp]

God damm

[pliant garnet]

And purdue tends to trail cmu salaries by about 20k ish

:D

Yeah 😔

[obsidian glacier]

is it the dorms

or

off campus housing

oh

[pliant garnet]

Yea dorms are an issue

Too many students too few dorms

But idk anyone who’s unable to get a dorm, only people who don’t get a good res hall

[lethal remnant]

Wasn't there someone earlier this year who got completely fucked over

[pliant garnet]

In this thread?

[lethal remnant]

Yeah I think, but it was a while ago

[pliant garnet]

Oh yeah I think ur talking about Solarei

[lethal remnant]

I could be misremembering/misunderstanding though

[pliant garnet]

They got off the wl and got housing in the end

So that’s a W

[lethal remnant]

Oh ok that's good 🙏

[pliant garnet]

Idk anyone who wanted housing and didn’t get it this year

[lethal remnant]

Still kinda terrifying though ngl

[pliant garnet]

They all got off the wl

[pliant garnet]

Yea the uncertainty is scary

[lethal remnant]

And ngl Purdue is the one place where I don't feel bad criticizing them for it (although I don't know everything going on)

But mate like WL is basically in the middle of nowhere

Surely you have room to expand rather than making your students play a lottery 💀

[pliant garnet]

The issue is that the campus is large, so housing will get farther and farther, frats and sororities take up a loooot of space where there could’ve been housing, the campus is surrounded by other stuff, and building housing takes a lot of time and money

We are getting new residences that will be ready for u guys next year, and even more for year after

But yeah, it also is kinda Purdues fault for over admitting so hard without considering the housing issue

[obsidian glacier]

if they admit so many wont popular majors be so overcrowded

[pliant garnet]

They kinda are a little

Class sizes are huge

[obsidian glacier]

oh

[pliant garnet]

But then also I’m a first year so I’m only doing intros

[lethal remnant]

Yeah I imagine it'll change a lot as you get more specialized

[pliant garnet]

Yea fs

[sonic mesa]

Yo

27 days left until decision

[pliant garnet]

Glgl!!

[fluid sequoia]

wifey wifey wifey

[fringe gyro]

I am an intl student.... my school did not have a gpa system...I did the IB tho...so how does Purdue evaluate my academic profile cuz it says GPA is 'very important'

[sinful viper]
