Meredith is bad if not worse than tark
Wait what, meredith looked so good on the website 💀
Meredith split into 2 buildings
Meredith south is the old building
It's ass
You’re lying tho
Meredith is the old building
Meredith south is the renovated
Oh k the one i had looked at was meredith not meredith south
Yeah I use it a lot
Lies
Meredith south is like a hotel
Meredith is the not so good one
Ironically Meredith looks better on the website
Nvm thats only exterior interior sucks
I live there yay
fuck off bro how many tigers does your state have
not the gas tragedy bro 😭
i live in bhopal ☠️
bro there's plenty of mp lore
there are so many ancient sites here
there are a fuckton of national parks
we also have the largest mosque in india in bhopal
i think we might have as much lake area as udaipur but nobody calls bhopal the city of lakes cause they're too busy thinking of something else
lore meaning
stereotypes
like bihar has one
punjab haryana has one
like that
Does anyone know if Purdue gonna pull what they did last year and release early 😭
No give up
You’re a junior wtf
Senior*
I forgot to change my thing
I’m mad nervous I EA but I heard OOS FYE is harder to get into
he just kidding
lol
if you have a good dorm like mine
there is a kitchen in every single floor
with oven, kitchen, 4 stoves and allat
i cook regularly
yes
thats like
91 chic fil a sandwiches
crazy good
10 is best w/rt economics. like even if u spend real money or dining dollars to eat at the dining courts and eat 13 meals eevery week ( u wont) its cheaper than 14 track
dont try that bro
there was a lady selling indian food here and it was pretty decent from what i heard
and some random person from our batch narc'ed on her cos she made it in chicago and sold it here in indiana so there's some food licensing issue
although the odds are low, try to ensure you have proper licensing and whatnot
ngl i actually wanna do that
but i don’t think id be able to handle it
I like unlimited cause you can go to the dining courts whenever and not have to worry about swipes. I literally have gone in just to get ice cream lol. Also, you get 8 on the go swipes, so you can stock up on a lot of snacks or food for your room.
Damn. That's crazy
I think this is the first time I'm hearing about people selling their own food at Purdue
guys what do u think would be like a range for SAT scores which would have a super high acceptance rate
assuming that the grades and essays and ECS were like above average ish
i felt bad for the lady she was so pissed frl
they banned begging there
yeahh
thats nice
yep
How are you man
doing good lowk
waiting to get cooked next sem
19 credits 9 classes
Same
does purdue care more abt stats or ecs
dunno how i ended up in this situation
How did you manage to convince your advisor to let you do 19
What the actual fuck
Also
Do you know anything about ordinary diff eq
she's a god tier dumbass, i email her shit and she just says idk. but at least she's supportive and lets me do wtv
i mean
i learnt it in india
it's not difficult
Bro im trying to test out of that class
It seems so hard
Well at least some of it
doable enough
do chenflix
and do the practice problems
Okay fair
i'd argue it's easier than calc 3
by a little bit
it depends on your intuition and skill
Nah its more about the harder parts of uh
idk cant be too bad
purdue math is horrible because of the margin of error
some of my friends got like 1 wrong in 3 midterms each
and then 3 wrong in the final
and ended with A- in calc 1
not making fun of them it's just that they were nearly perfect and got fucked over
Ah okay
but at the same time i wanna just do the course for the GPA
Nah bro I’m graduating in 3 years
because the prof teaching it is very free
Fuck this shit
not because calc 2 is easy
Matsuki right
Awesome
yep love him so much
he makes pearl harbour jokes
he made a nuclear bomb joke
( he's japanese)
he made a political joke a day before the election result
he also talked about how he wants to be his girlfriends 8th dog
or something like that
he's divorced btw
Dude he look like a silly guy
then uhh he tells people that they're fucking stupid in an email
Poor guy
and he also said on the last day of class
do not say fuck you in the course review
SAY WHY YOU WANT TO FUCK ME 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️
he's such a fucking goofball
lol
i love him so much even tho i skipped all his lectures
if i join purdue as a math major, how possible is it to do a cs minor on the side?
Very
Wait
No
That’s like
pretty light but u need to be admitted to school of cs
There nothing in common I think
which is never a guarantee
I don’t think you need to do that
math is an easy degree in purdue
It’s a minor not a major
Yeah
nothing in common? wdym
It’s aight
you do for the minor
only diff is cs/ds double major
No course overlap
Also why the fuck do you want to do a math degree at Purdue
he'll be fine lol
So many better places to do it at
oh what? i thought you just take classes as required for a minor
im doing a chemE degree with a semiconductor manufacturing certificate, chemistry minor, data science concentration, pharmacueitcals manufacturing concentration as well as a research honors 🔥
ik for a fact im not getting a cs major at purdue lol as an intl, so i thought ill do a math major instead because math and cs are fairly similar and do a cs minor on the side
without ap credit or de
Bro don’t say that
Just EA
Did you EA
anyway idt ill go to purdue even if i get in but yeah just wanted to know
just apply homie
yep
You’re in honours?
nah i applied ea, getting my decision next week
Good luck homeboy
no but i can get the research honors thing along w/my degree regardless apparently
thanks
intl?
Interesting
ur also cracked af
Both of us are
i was thinking of applying to hons
but that's a lot of extra classes
Well I applied
Eh
you will
If you do research that’s like nothing
you can always drop out
You need like 2 classes iirc
i need to really research about it
Nah am doing grad school honours is staying
deadline is like feb something anyways
Just ask Tay
ic
Tay is in honors
oh yea i can
aren't you techncally a us citizen tho
Dude you should try to double major math and cs
since you wanted to work in lockheed
Fuck no
Turns out I cant
Maybe ill do Lockheed in like 15 years
oh bruh howd your ahh not get deported
i know for a fact you aren't
Exactly
but the wiley incident was just insane
like mountain out of molehill
I appealed and I won the appeal
i've been watching my toungue around everyone now
oh nice
so they took back wtv charges
Nah just don’t be telling weird shit to your RA
do you get to go back to wiley
Moral of the story
but getting a double major in cs is not possible if you are admitted as a math major right?
Just can’t live there no more
Not banned or anything
my RA an education major sophomore 💀
Anything is possible I feel like
it is
Not sure though
just get admitted to cs
you write a nice essay saying why ur goated
buut i'd really re consider
Bro honestly Purdue is chill I just went into too much detail and my RA got scared
i applied alr so .. 😭
BRO THEY MAKE U DO A 5K LINES OF CODE PROJECT TO MAKE A SOCIAL MEDIA APP IN JAVA AS AN INTRO TO CS CLASS
like what the fuck is this crap
Oh real
did u get deans list
Don’t you have a 4.0
It’s not that bad
i mean
my course load was easy as shit
i'd be dissapointed if i didn't
Did you do that SCLA111 or sth
hell nah
scla 111 is for the stupid people
like for people who don't have a good ielts or wtv
I was about to say
they need to take an additional scla class asw
i just did duolingo english test
Nah
my counselor said it's easy
you can test out of 111 tho?
the intl kid writing class
there's two intl kid scla classes
110 is the oral one, 111 is the writing one
because of the extra classes
huh
Why
hello
he says it sucks time
Hi Tay
sup
Athavan is also considering honors
For honors
Please
Also is it worth
For like
Current students to do honors
Because no nice housing and shit
did you get good housing for next yr?
Shreve
triple?
Double
you only need to take two truly extra classes
the rest of the honors credits can be achieved via research for credit, contracting a class, or any level 500 class
how hard is "scholarly project"
i see
not that hard, esp if you're already involved in research
and they want you to succeed to they try very hard to place everyone that wants to be in a lab, in a lab
they say you should start thinking about it your jr year, and complete it your sr year
but i started mine in aug and finished in nov
damn
and im a sophomore
if youre dedicated, its not bad
Same
did you have any AP credit tay
and if for whatever reason you cant match into a lab/your lab wont quite work for the project there are a few classes you can take that upon finishing the class your scholarly project is completed
i went in with 46 credits
damn crazy
im wondering if i should take gen eds for a gpa boost or test out with a clep
Holy fucking shit
do gen ed gpa boosters really help in the long run or nah
What classes are you thinking
and then is honors worth it as a sophomore, imo it depends on what you're looking for. it still requires a few classes (good GPA boosters) and like I said they really want you to get research so they have multiple opportunities throughout the year to try and match you with someone
i ended up meeting my PI at an honors event called the research matchmaking fair and it was deadass borderline speeddating to try and see if you liked any PI's research who often only recruit within the honors college
imma just test out of stuff like soc 100, psych 100 and allat to collect however many creds i need minus upper level gen eds
also at least once a week on brightspace I get an email thats like "xyz is looking to recruit 1-2 honors undergrads for research"
Are they like good labs tho
If that makes sense
if you do honors lowkey take the class, contract it, and easy credit
Because I can’t wrap my head around why someone would only recruit from honors
let me see if I can pull up the thing because there was a lot of sick stuff
maybe that's why my friend in honors keeps trying to convince me to join because im desperate for research
i dont plan on working in another lab during my team here
but I have a fantastic PI, a good lab enviornment, and I genuinely love m research
im thinking of just doing birck and 1-2 solid research labs in soph
in many cases its because their research field is inherently interdisciplinary or they simply prefer honors students because they think more outside the box or whatever
Interesting
you realize many profs take you for at minimum a year right?
and doing classes + 2 research labs at a time + any other ecs you do it a lot
Dawg I just want 2 labs during my time here
1 in Zucrow
i mean yea shits hard but just gotta grit it out
🔥 💯
im just gpamaxxing since i'll eventually hit a downfall
if you're gpamaxxing then i wouldnt clep out of the easy geneds
seems fair
thanks
but like heres some examples and they just show this to us like every couple of days (at least once a week tbh) and its just a bunch of profs recruiting through the honors college
outside of that, i mean I've taken 4 actual honors classes but only 3 are actually required, I just TA for credit so thats another class
Holy moly
blud is actually cracked
i am not cracked
lies
Same
Just realised I have back to backs everyday this coming sem
We are not making to fall’25 with this one
holy
nah back to backs are fire
convince u to go to class if it's nearby
we graduating with 150+ credits with this one 💯 💯 💯
if only i have that clarity in my life 😭
Holy shit 77% is crazy work
Just do it in 3 years bro or sth
im on track to
but i wanna stay a 4th and add more shit
i wanna add an ecology major, hdfs minor, maybe a chem minor idk
Bro if you hate yourself just say that
WHAT
3.97 gpa ???? 😭
115 credit is wild
i aspire to be this level of cracked
What
i do but hdfs minor should be light, ecology major only 3 extra classes and chem minor only one extra class
That’s 4 extra classes
That’s a lot
In my opinion
nah
1 week
as a boilermaker
peak humor
yall buggin
the gpa is low for calc 2 always save urself
the issue is
i don't know enough of series to test out
and im too lazy to study
and the test out is supposedly difficult af from what i've heard
im doing the ma262 testout knowing damn well im failing it
How does testing out at Purdue work
u meet with advisor
and register for exam
fill out a form
and do an exam
if u get a score (varies) u can drop the class and get credit
Same over here
but im alr
cause as long as im one midterm ahead
i should be fine
cause if i do my notes and get an adequute understanding of the concept
i can just grind for the first midterm early on
Before you take the class or during?
Before
My advice is to try to skim it yourself
i do not need all these minutes
Only chenflix if you are confused
imma read the notes, plug into gpt to explain
Ok
then derive understanding from them
That would be cool if you actually get a position at zucrow
I know right
Dude you should look at SURF
particularly the son group
He has so many postings in surf and he’s in zucrow
I looked at it two months ago and haven't touched it since
But us citizen required so I can’t do it
Shit. I may have to check that out
Damn. That's unfortunate
Reach out to him he replies to emails
Steven Son
Will do
He’s on LinkedIn too
Do I have to email him first and then apply for surf
Ill check him out then
And then reach out
Gotcha
That’s what i did
Hopefully he has something that doesn't require us citizenship
He does not I checked
That's unfortunate
yall's convo interested me in this
1 week guys
Legally speaking I'm cooked
for all those who get in and commit, lets have an a2c get together when we're there
That is exactly what we did
Like interesting to see
The same way I found my friends the same way some others might
6 days…
yeahhh
continuing the legacy
The only channel I pay attention to in this server is the purdue one cause I love yapping about purdue and giving people advice
have yall ever heard of these scholarships
yes, but theyre very pretigious/hard to get from my understanding
oh
Rhodes scholarship is a very notable one
Very hard to get and I believe it's for graduate school at oxford
Purdue!!
How’s the math program at Purdue
Guys, the results are coming out on the 15th but I didn't get any mail from Purdue. Should I be worried?
Email or snail mail?
I’ve only gotten emails for FAFSA and WiE
And holidays
dw decisions are on 15th
no cause they dont send anything out until after u get accepted
Is there a welcome package?
stickers
only for us peeps?
folks who get in
I meant email
Good stickers?
Okay! I was just a bit worried cause other universities usually mail a week or two before to tell the time and date for decision release.
they are stickers alright
some colleges give other stuff too but ik college of science just did stickers
yea
rit was the only smaller college i applied to
so it was nice to get something
I can excuse public schools giving packets and stickers since they accept a lot of kids
But these private schools need to step up their game
Doubt it
the smaller ones
hi
wait rit came out already?
smaller ones?
no he last yr
that would be cool
ohhh
i think
nv i forgot
uchicago sends a t-shirt
alot of the liberal arts and smaller privates send stuff
but yea most of the time its just a packet and stickers
-_-
I doubt they send intl all i’m expecting is an acceptance email lol
no college is sending a hoodie to everyone who gets in
especially a massive public school
wdym tho stickers are chill
uiuc gave me stickers to put on the “i” keys of all my keyboards
Yea ik stickers are cool
I’m just obsessed with college merch
Seeing those unboxing videos is so addicting
I like Stanfords acceptance package
real i loved my usc package
one of my friends still wears the socks they sent even tho she didn’t go
Omg and usc too
I remember they gave AirTags one year
unfortunately i did not receive an airtag
Rip
my drumline nickname is airtag s.c. tho
i think it was a google home lol
I think it’s a packet
noooo i want random stuff that ill probably use for a week and never use again
It’s a public school so they stingy 💔
Even some private schools have mid packages
wowiee
thats something tho
thats pretty
i dont even have a pencil case
can u not buy one
matter of fact i ahvent brought a pencil to school this week 💀
This is cute
you know uiuc gave me?
they gave me a rejection
dude
ive been using the same pencil since 7th grade january
pre covid
its been my homeboy bro
we homies
I cheat on my pencils
I lose em and use random ones I find in classrooms
oh
i have been using 3 pens since 8th grade
twins
I'm more loyal to pen brands than I am to my parents tbh
fr
i hate pens usually
unless its the g2
those are fire
Uniball pens are fire
Except idk when to use pens bc pencil is just quicker for me
So my pens go unused
Kept changing refills in those same pens
now im even more mad about the jhu rejection
yo guys, how is undistributed credit used?
not sure if asking this is allowed or not, but when are decisions dropping
what major?
biochem
Do we have any idea of a time?
I think the exact date and time is out. Can't remember it off the top of my head but it's probably in #📆-decision-dates
Usually 5 pm EST
basically itll count towards your total # of credits but not towards any actual classes
5pm est
do u have any idea abt biomedical eng
thats a very broad question
oh
i have a friend in BME and he had 2 different intro bio classes but the second set of 2 he's in with me, he takes the chems for bio majors
like some of my friends are going for bme so i wanted to know what even it was
ooh
idk how exactly he fit them into his schedule because i feel like in fye there is not the time to be taking a bio and chem class yet, but what do i know lol
im a genetics major, yes.
mlk is 20th so no
Has mlk ever been the 15th
Has anyone gotten any emails from Purdue?
whats mlk
maybe thats why it came out on 13trh last yr
martin luther king day
prolly not
What time did it come out last year?
for me it was jan 12 at 1:05 pm
but i think it woudlve come out on the 15th if the 15th wasnt mlk
Ah okay
What time zone is 1:05 for you?
pst
nah i would assume 15th
cuz like
12th is a weekend
and lat year 15th was mlk, so they just released it early
ping me when it comes out tho :D
I meant like at 1:05
Aight bet :)) you’ll be the first person I tell
I’ll probably open it in class
glgl!!!!
5 days…
the university is closed and thus no decisions
oh okay
makes sense
The Purdue course catalog bulletin lets you search for every class and course for every major offered at the West Lafayette/Indianapolis campus.
no portal astrology
bruhh
Does Purdue defer
imo portal astrology is the most fun aspect in waiting for decisions
Is there an astrology discord?
Using items on your portal to determine admission status ahead of time
For example, a letter of continued interest is what you send when deferred. So them asking for a LOCI before decisions are out shows deference
Different buttons may appear depending on the decision
Most of it is nonsense
some of it is true tho
like the stanford address thing last year
thats kinda the hardest part
just wanted to know general idea of what actually it is abt
hello do not talk about portal astrology. okay thank you.
does purdue look at only self reported courses and grades
idek
Probably not(?) I’d imagine they probably cross check it with your transcript to make sure you aren’t lying about grades but idk
they look at transcripts too
cause i had to send my dual enrollment transcripts
and extra transcripts for online courses i took
that i didnt report in courses and grades
they didn’t even ask me for my international transcripts wtf
it said my application was complete
If I remember correctly they only required self reported grades. It’s probably expected that you send in a transcript if you get accepted though. As long as it said your app was complete you should be fine
this is how i recall it happening. once you commit its expected that final stuff goes in
like test scores/transcripts
Polytechnic people get an actual package of stuff. Everyone else gets stickers. They also give you the option to get a small Purdue flag/banner and engineering also does a similar thing if you visit campus
Math classes at Purdue are definitely harder than most universities. In terms of how the program itself ranks, I got no clue
Wait till orientation week. You will get so many random things and free shirts/merch
What is that
Purdue
Orientation week? That's when all the freshmen come to campus before school starts and there are a huge amount of activities and assemblies and what not
my friend in IBE (business) also got some other things iirc
Lucky
Oh ok so that's if you commit, mb I got confused for a sec
yeah no he was flexing it in stats like 🙄
yeah
youll get like a billion free things tho dw
i think i got at least 3 tshirts
MERCH
MERCHANDISE
WOOOHOOOO
PURDUE MERCH
Yeah. Every school has it
do i get those purdue license plates too
i have so man random purdue shirts i think im gonna do a tshirt quilt again when i graduate
not for free lmao
those things are mad expensive
how much?
😢😢
shirts, stickers, junky waterbottles
ive spent 100 dollars on sweaters
Maybe certain clubs will give them out
cant be worse
like $60
oh
depending on the school it can go up to 130
wait
😭
but theyre not gonna give em out for free
champion
depends on the school tho
thats... pretty standard
i think they all have their own
can we print our own
esp for a licensed brand
i dont think so
legally, no
etsy does i think
it is...
ah sad
You can probably find them on sale from time to time
intersting
every uni i toured the hoodies were all champion and they were all ~$60
but lots of tours gave out like discounts for the store
upenn sweathers were phew
whatttt
I forgot about that
per person
that’s insane
Its usually 10 to 15 percent off
never got that
bet
yeah
At the bookstore
imma still buy i t
😢😢
but you gotta go to the main bookstore
You get it when you visit
gotta represent
yeah
Yes
is there a apple store nearby yes?
i need to go to the bookstore on sunday
no
Damn. You went all the way there
Online
im very familiar with cvs on northwestern...
Buy online and they will ship for free
dorms are fine to ship to, ive never had any problems
if i go here
with what car
oh
I see. I may be hitting up the cvs pretty often next year
Who said a car was needed
its nice. i had a lot of prescriptions last year (yay health issues) and the ppl there knew me by name bc at one point i was going 3-4x a week
popular
cars make it easier to travel
real
dont have to worry about making it to the train on time
Definitely but you don't need one to get to chicago
but my parents are not getting me a car if i go out of state
i personally dislike not having the leasure
||honestly i just forgot we had a train that takes you to chicago||
someone mentioned purdue has their own service
idk
but its also hard to get a parking pass as a freshman
is this train = bart?
I see. Health issues are unfortunate
they only give them if you have a genuine reason to need one such as lots of dr appts off campus
Amtrak
dang
im all better now
oh
nice nice
no
METRO BOOMIN
we dont have a metro system
oh
not that im aware of at least
i had never even used public transporation until i got to purdue
ohhh
and now i am such a pro at using the bus
is that why ur boilers
Really
unique
(i still choose to walk everywhere)
I grew up around public transit
bus system in my city is not safe and ive always had a car to use when i was able to drive
are u going into aero?
and my parents were more than willing to drive me if needbe because i was a good kid
Fair
Most likely
Nice
and now i just have a car on campus but i still walk when possible bc gotta get those steps in
Purdue aero is where it's at
chauncey is just a little hike yk
real
That uphill climb
its fine
i ran cross country and had like 5-6 miles on hills before
i was aboutta go there last year
that uphill is nothing
for a compeition
You were prepared for it
Rip
how are they going to say this and then give no time to get the notebook
2 days is not adequate time to get supplies
proffesors actually check ur notebooks there too?
interesting
Time to speed run ig
my ap physics teacher keeps on yapping about how we should keep our lab notebooks safe
fort i noticed and went to the store earlier but im driving back tmr like ???
to show universities proof
I haven't had any sort of notebook check yet
you havent taken biochem yet 
that we had done labs in the class or soem
at least my lab group will be good
lowk dont even know if ts true
do eng majors even take biochem
other than biomedical
the colleges wont care about your highschool notebooks
Probably not
bruh my ap physics onto nothing
💀
Maybe the ag engineering people
they can just be useful to hold back in the event that sometimes an extra set of notes for the content is good
ag, bio, and biomedical probably
yeah
I will be tortured in other ways
my classes make me want to jump off a bridge this sem
who let me take 4 STEM classes + their labs + research for credit
☹️
Good luck
cant be worse than senioritists
im going to die
i js want my diploma
no offence but, you dont know anything about a college student work load or the life of a college student
One of the basketball games that i went to, there were people behind me studying for their fluids exam
oh my god
fluids
☹️ this is my schedule
Aero definitely takes fluids
Junior year I think
biochem, genetics, ecology, physics 2, labs & research (hot pink blocks)
That is a packed schedule
I have 8:30s this entire school year
I know a bunch of people who had 7:30s last semester
It was rough for them
Holy shit good luck 😭
I was originally assigned to a 7:30 but I luckily got out of it
congrats on student of the week
assigned????
i thought u can choose
ur classes bro
You choose the classes, they choose the times
I think Purdue assigns timings for you
And then you go in and try to change it
