AYYY
Btw did u get your scholarship info with your acceptance or later?
yea
the 10k scholarship
but then later i checked my financial aid
and i got a grand from the school of 5k a year as well
intl-?
wowiee
i dont think scholarships can be applied to intl
nah american
cuz it says on their website sadly 😭
scholarships are only for domestics
thts lowk sad
How many other scholarships are there is it just 16k? or is ther elike a 2k, a 4k, a 8k?
these the merit scholarhsip
;-;;
So only trustees and presidental essentially?
yea
Yeah i'm cooked
my sat was so ass
That alone will not get me the scholarship LMAO
whats ass to u?
1250 💀
eh i know folks who got 1600s
who didnt get it
shit i had a 1410
its not hollistic bro
And you got trustees?
ohhh fire
yea my sai dropped from 27k to 533
damm wtf
idk what mine is tbh
i'll figure it out after my parents do their part
Purdue is 100% my second choice like if i don't get into my first choice insta commit here
Wait u actually got a grant with a 27k sai?
there is hope omg
^^^
lwky if it’s between 55-45 for one gender, it’s kinda above average imo from what i’ve seen at least in engineering
this is not common at all, esp if your oos/intl do not expect aid from a public university
i think college of eng is a bit more skewed but the university as a whole isnt bad
Tbf i had no expectations lol
nice to know there is a tiny chance though
yea im just lucky
idk how it happened
but gotta keep that 3.0
or its all gone
im supposed to be getting smth soon bc of the research expo
Is it hard to maintain a 3.0 in purdue?
i barely barely passed
it very much depends
but its cause i took 17 credits 7 classes
Cuz my friends in other unis said that a 3.0 is super easy to get
theres alot of factors
if you're putting in effort you should be fine, even in more challenging coursework but
alot of stupid things that get in the way
purdue is hard, we have a lot of grade deflation
Damn
getting injured did not help me for some of these
and many people come in expecting it to be like HS where they didnt have to study and then theyre confused
when its hard
and they have to actually try
yea some classes u gotta prestudy to be prepared
been studying all break to not get slain by a math class
but all of that being said, its not impossible and if you're genuinely trying & putting in effort you sjould be okay even with some nasty class combos
I think i may have asked this before not sure but do u think its harder than in other unis? Or is grade deflation common across similar unis?
yea
honestly i cant comment since ive not been to other unis. there are lots that do inflation, lots that do deflation, and some that are in the middle.
Okay
we're probably pretty similar compared to other unis that do deflation, and ofc harder than ones that have inflation & neither
k gotta dig deeper into this then when i’m forming my pros n cons list.
nah i just switched the prof
oh real
every building is fucking locked i tried to hang shit up and nooooooo i cant even get in
i really shoulda studied better
scla 102
ive heard that its pretty chill
Wait so does a 27k SAI mean that that's how much the feds think you can pay every year, is that what that means?
yes
whatt
ah okay
and idk if i can do allat
so for example my SAI is like 34k i think or smth like that so the gov things that we can pay 34k a year (we cant). at purdue my coa is ~40k but purdue did not give me 6k in scholarships/aid/grants to meet me where im at so
yea but uh we cnanot pay that much
funnily enough us in 2022 could
but not now
yea it’s insane
we're struggling to cover it 🫠
just the awesome parts of finacial aid
you in the past represent u right now
even tho things change
my sister got diagnosed with a chronic illness two days before move in for freshman year and now shes on meds that cost more than my tuition lmao
its acc not that bad
if she didnt need those we'd have been fine
well some majors are horrendous
is cs rlly bad 😭
ooh not at purdue at least, one of my goals for my college list was to have a decent gender ratio so 😭
fair
idk about cs
ur good it probably is p bad either way
75 hours lesgoooo
let’s see what you think of liberal arts when you’re fighting for your life in freshman english
english is the only thing i absolutely suck at
apparently I dont hv to take an English course, IB credit came in clutch
i had to whip out grammarly to convert all basic english words to complex looking words cuz my ass knows not even one of them
a lot of schools also require an upper-level writing course
I don’t think we do
Our writing course has to be taken in freshman year at least for fye
are you guys also not able to use transfer credits for freshman english lol
well u gotta get good at it
u can
i just didnt
cause i got a 3
anyone a football fan here
damn i wish that were me
You can I just did a levels
in everything
real madrid vs barca
only games i watch are the tottenham games
Unfortunately not
are u a slough fan
usc is really heavy on revision/writing for research so they don’t let you transfer freshman english
Fuck no
Ew
Thank god I didn’t apply
even been to slough
I saw my Purdue acceptance and thought usc isn’t worth
fortunately we do not
Hi Tay
hello
Are you at school yet
yeah i got back yesterday afternoon
Why so early
i dont function well if i dont have a full day being back on campus before classes start up
i got back like 9 pm
more reasons to come to purdue, I am surprised I am getting so many credits for IB
- i wanted to see taybf
Awesome
not many schools give credits for SL subjects too
same i need to lazy around for a day
then lock in
I love purdue (pls take me in)
I bought my bf so many snacks
are you getting credit for real classes or are you getting undistributed credit
taybf and i exchanged christmas gifts finally LMAO
If it has XXXX then it’s undistributed
if i get into purdue, yall are cooked
a mix, but lot of real classes like ENGL 23100 (3), MA 16010 (3) and CHM 11500 & CHM 11600 (8)
it aint a competition
theres 50k folks here
MA 16010 isn’t useful unless you’re in polytechnic
we just living
What’s your major
biochem
115 and 116 will be handy at least
Oh then I don’t know
is there any beach near purdue?
Brother
theres a fake beach on lake michigan
in ag or bio or chem department?
no it was pretty
but the nearest real beach is delaware
can i take the plane and go to the beach?
I decided to go with chem one
u can fly to chicago
and thats a beach
fly to chicago
Just take the bus bro
the train is better than the bus
dunes is super funn too
i miss summer
can anyone from the campus take a plane?
Think so
then looks like the ma class will actually count for smth which is nice
i did a chicago trip and dunes trip during fall break and drove to both and it was chill
how many maths or physics classes do bio ppl usually do
Is it personal or is it an honors thing
calc 1 & 2, stats, and then physics 1 and 2
do u hv any physics classes that u hv taken?
oh okay
it was personal
i went for funsies
Ah
phys 233 (physics I for bio majors) and im taking pys 234 (physics II for bio majors) this sem
I hate physics (I’m a me major)
physics makes me want to die
i mean i actually liked our freshman year writing course
i feel like it made me a significantly better writer
it was just a pain in the ass and i would rather walk on glass than have to take it again
I just trauma dumped for my essay assignment and came back with a 95
I’m a dog writer
thats one of the main reasons why i dont wanna go aerospace
But plane
And rocket
youre going to need to take physics classes ehre regardless of what engineering major you are
they are cool but my pea sized brain cant handle that much
basic gen ed phy is fine
Jamiebf didn’t take physics
At least I don’t think
other than that im cooked 😭
same
i have to take a physics class for a GE
i hate it
he might have just not taken it yet. its usually a jr year class for bio majors
technically it’s “physical sciences” so i can take an astronomy course where we get to go to an observatory or an oceanography course where we get to spend a day out in the ocean
but maybe cs doesnt have to idk
He’s in CS
astronomy my beloved🤤
i am so jealous
I don’t know
people say that the difficulty of courses becomes easier as u progess. is it cuz u alr have foundation or u got used to the dificulty
i need taybf to text me back
woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
im so bored
I think it’s the weeders
yeah the weeders
If you make it past FYE you’re golden
oo okay
Some people ended up switching majors because they don’t got that Mitch Daniels grit
whats that
its not golden, but u have more leeway
i see
i’ll never understand why people complain about having to take GE courses
i’m sad that i can’t take MORE gen eds bc they’re so interesting
i decided that since i thought all my geneds would be psych classes anyways id just add a psych minor lmao
if my parents let me stay a 4th year im gonna take a few more gen-ed type classes
a philosophy class, a close relationships class
like i want to take linguistics and american popular culture in the 1960s and fascism and western music as sounding history and astronomy and oceanography and ethnic film across history and cultures
i wanted to add an american popular culture minor bc i was taking so many GE courses that could be applied to the minor but usc requires that you take at least 16 credits that are only applied to the minor
Personal preference tbh. Econ is more mathy
Econ !!!
@sinful viper the 12.8k for for housing and food in for the academic year or the whole year including the vacation time?
What the fuck is vacation time
what is vacation time
you dont have housing/food for summer break or winter break or anything unless you pay extra
I prefer finance
I guess
But i didnt try either very deep so idk properly
Which has better opportunities tho
so would it be cheaper to live off campus
some of my gen eds are stupid, if i can have more options with these english classes
all to it
i mean i pay like 9k for housing and food
theres locations where u can get this lower
no LMAO
thats why it is such a fight to stay on campus
when i was lf appartments rent was usually around 1k per month for something that wasnt in a compeltely sketchy part of town (i value safety) and you gotta rent for a year so thats 12k just for housing not including food.
personally my room and board at purdue is like 10k and this includes housing and food 
what time does purdue come out, anyone know?
5 est
@karmic parcel are we supposed to check in for housing or anything
Or we can just waltz right in
yes
u have to
or ull be like me
at 10 pm
walking around
cause my hands freezing
and the doors locked
I needa check in, is it just in the housing portal
ill let u know
yea
also watch out for the ice
Oh shit
i ate shit last night
I’ve literally never experienced black ice in my life
I’m so excited!!
:D
nah its not black ice
I want to eat pavement so bad
just ice
Wait then what’s black ice
Wait when am I supposed to check in
Like right before entering
yes
Or well in advance
any time
if u dont
u will not be able to enter
if u didnt check out
u cant check in
just know that
before tmrw
Wait give details to our insta as well
alr
any info on what time purdue will come out?
jan 15, 5 pm est
yes
when youre back on campus
checking back in reactivates your ID
Is it instantaneous?
yes
Idk much about finance, but hella opportunites from econ
what if you just did finance + econ
can you double major 🤓 for business
Yes ofc
You can easily do double majors
Purdue is very chill abour it
yip yip HOORAY
does econ require a shit tonna social knowledge
like econ requires social doesnt it
God I'm so nervous for Purdue
Partially because if I don't get in my last shreds of confidence will be destroyed 💀
its ok !!
That’s so real 😭
im so nervous for purdue bruh
oh what state r u in
im scared cuz my sat score shit
ohhh nice
im in md n rarely ppl apply to purdue
and get in
oh wow
lucky lmao
uw is such a great school too for cs
ah
Where u trynna go
Oh true
Grade deflation sucks
What does that even mean 😭
Internalizing that where I go doesn't matter that much has worked until decisions release in 3 days 💀
That does make me feel a bit better lol
I have good stats but I'm paranoid they'll hate my essays or smth
it depends on the context of ur school
3.7UW at their school may be the norm
True true
I'm not worried about my stats being why I get rejected haha
Just hate how random it can feel
oh well then based on where ur at then
do yall think mid GPA and decent SAT can be made up for by great EC's and letter of rec for FYE?
this wait has been killing me
its aight brio
technically MIT, realistically Georgiatech
💀
Same lmao
Yes
one of my top 3
and cali too
they accept a lot of instate, west and tx
from what ive seen
idk about how much comes from east
Number 1 is Indiana
2 is Illinois
3 is California
For most students from a state
That’s what they said during an info session
Is it wrong to say Purdue is a target 🧍🏻♂️not a cs or eng major
probably true
probably is a target (or safety in state) if you have decent/good stats and aren’t going for cs, flight, or eng (and maybe business)
Only for like
aaa
wym business
i thought business wasnt too hard
its getting more difficult but if youre in here youre probably fine
o
yea that sounds right
yay cali
Sounds on par
only 2 rejected?
maybe more cuz some people wont like to show u got rejected
but yeah
yea
purdue doesn't reject much EA in the first place
like half of my physics c class applied here
lol
less competition good for me
no one from my school applied here 🙂
and the ones who applied to other colleges as me
are intl students
im the only citizen applying from my school
not sure abt cs
lemme see
3497 across cs ds and ai
does purdue admit second major?
yes
was yours second?
do yk how heavily they look at it
nah i applied ai first choice
but i know several ppl who applied ai second choice and were admitted for ai
i applied the same school
if ur rejected for ur first choice, then they consider u for ur second choice
so idk if itll affect much
what did u apply first and second
theyll consider both
okay coool
ai and cs are both in college of science
oohh
ic
would u be considered for scholarships if you're admitted to second major
i dont think thatll affect it
u shud
but im not sure
kk
what abt cs and comp eng
and can we take cs classes while being in fye
u can
if u want
but u might just wanna get fye outta the way first

well yes if you’re not chosen for the engineering major you will be considered for your second choice
manifesting 
☠️
@.tayyy @.tayyy
This is just not true, you most certainly have a decent chance of getting into engineering with good stats, decent EC’s, and decent essays
Which is like most of the people applying, it’s just up to luck at that point
!purdue
gatech too
Bro same
dooooooMMMM
2 days…

I’m so cooked
burnt
chat if i dont get into purdue i might just rescind everything
Bruh
Fellas be saying anything these days
Ga tech is on the 31st I thought
Isn't that like Jan 31
wait what
did my senior scam me
he told me that gatech is also on 15th
bro if i dont get purdue i dont have a shot anywhere else
like
Youll get in
brother u got like 1600 sat score
💀
if u dont get
i have no shot legit
1580 but yes ☠️
vro im just dooming
same thing.
:/
PURDUE ACCEPT ME AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
Purdue
take me into your light
show by all your grace that you are holy
All I want for christmas is Purdue
what time is purdue at?
any intls that got this ?
Where is this?
Yup I have it too
intl and stats @remote nymph
do we have to submit them??
do u hve it?
yes
wht r ur stats
uh
1460 sat
and some mid ecs
mid essays
and indian
so cooked
cherry on top: Cs :D
i am u
not this tho
engineering?
env engineering
i see
No portal Astro
whats portal astro
5 est
330 am for us
16th jan
wait do we submit it before decisions? if I dont...will my app be considered incomplete? (applied RD btw)
I hv that option too
no
idk generally the proof is done before decision like i did for umn-tc
oh ya same
but again they mailed me that i had to fill it
but I got an email for that
so ig purdue will do the same
probably
idkn why would publics care abt that info
jus chill until u get a mail
yield?
usually privates ask them for financial aid
nh i am jus guessing
does anybody apply purdue rd ☠️
they are writing their death sentence if its for cs
if that helps
or eng
is it that bad damn
yeah ull be fine
50 hours...
not exactly but
they fill up most of the seats
from ea pool
so its virtually impossible to get into purdue rd for cs/eng
I see
50 hrs
Expensive
Do yall see any updates to yall portal
nope

Purdue EA Decision Date
<t:1736978400:F> in your time zone, which is <t:1736978400:R>
Stop with the portal Astro
purdizzy will acceptuzz uzz
Holy, is the timing confirmed?
in general, its harder to get into public schools rd vs ea
LOLOL
PURDUE PLEASE
yikes
2PM
🤞🏿
source?
purdue
somebody remind me purdue is NOT a saftey for engineering
thats just u
on signa
GANG???
PURDUE AINT A SAFTEY LIL BRO
although my school is a feeder into purdue
what is bro worried about then
lol
50% yes or no
Does anyone actually see this on their portal?
nah i ust heard from my friend
💀
shtiis scaring me
Also, does anyone know cs oos acceptance rate?
ok repeat in ur head
i was ust curious if it strue
"hey guys if u see accepted letter that means ur accepted"
prolly 10%
just wait 2 days
🤓
45 hours
wish yall all luck
✋🤚
😭🙏
i think its mugh higher
i got into minnesota for some reason
well idk a lot of ppl get in from my school
like so many ppl got in purdue last yr somehow
do purdue compare you to other kids from ur school
and I got it jan 13 💀
yeah its within the context of ur school
cause other schools grade inflate and all
its js weird
unfair policies and whatso every
but do they directly compare kids and like naw imma take this amount of kid from said school
i think they do compare kids
wtf
but its not a fixed amount
did they already drop
it varies
im so worried rn bc of mid year report
i got my decision
like some year they take 50 from one school
are they rolling admission
while next year 55
wtf
it differs
no
are they indy schools
Congratulations uhmm
oh wait you probably got it faster cuz most people are waiting for their sat scores to be submitted
indy?
indiana
i think its everywhere
ah
hopefully this yr purdue takes a lot of kids from my school again
i mean they generally have been for a few years
im finna get jn
in state?
oos
what major?
wha
how are you a feeder then
a lot of kids get in
i applied mechE too
Probably 20%
got in
or are you just a competitive school
ah
are purdue top 3 for yall?
nah purdue easy fr
prolly
What’s the FYE oos acceptance rate
im in wa
And ik a lot
im eastcoast
unique perspectives frfr
hopefully purdue takes me after i wrote this essay
damn bruh bay area kids got a buff
😭
we gotta nerf the meta
i mean realistically who lives in mountain time zone
nevada
lmfao fuck no
new mexico
bro u dont know
aironza
oh yeah i forgot about arizona
i heard purdue FYE weed kids out
lowk forgot they existed
like 1/3 of the class dont graduate on time
its all a weedout
the easiest seemester is the final one
i think they have the #1 hs in murica according to us news
lol
i manifested ts too hard
feed into ivy
in arizona???
you predicted the current situation
yeah
LOL
all imma say is be ready to fail
Uhmm
and not know jackshit
maybe
not that ranking matters ngl
I think I’ll get to skip a lot of FYE
some of these fye classes are beyond me
cause of phys c credit
And calc credit
And all the credit
I HAVE PHYSICS C chemistry
csa
calc
🙏🏿
bunch of computer programming classes
yall gonna be doing sophmore year classes freshman year
better be ready to lock in
just making sure, purdue havent send anyone emails right
bro my school only offered csa and i couldn't fit it in my schedule so i had to just do the exam
PLEASE stop
bro thinks purdue is ghosting them
😭
yall wont get shit
they sending me mad emails
until u get in
chill ur ex prolyl ghosted u more than purdue did
wym
simply
oh u mean decisions
all the organizations will start coming for u
oop
they asking me about my day n shit
if u get in
What major u apply for
it's actually a final test for admission
Real
!!!
shi bruh i ghosted them
def seems like some faculty member
aint gonna lie, not one ap class in hs prepared me for college
ts a different kinda level
what time do the descions release
then u dont get in
5 pm EST
and u live ur life
oh well
2pm your local time
its not the end of the world lil bro
fr
Kinda is bro
but no uni = no life
shut
i mean i alr have a decent tier uni in my hands
u do have alternative options right?
y'all are glazing these unis too hard
yeah yeah im js playing around
lol
like u didnt put all ur eggs in one basket right?
im tryna go to community college
no, this is my saftey
I have a 1590 and a 4.0 so like if I don’t get in I must’ve fucked up something else in my app real bad
No
you do realize most undergrad schools offer the same education
this place is not a safety to anyone
chill i aint devi vishnukumar
I applied lots of places
purdue aint a saftey fro stem majors unless u in the west
yea but purdue my cheapest
or instate
it's why you're allowed to transfer
ik that now, but I was deluded back in october
slowly but surely this place is becomign more and mroe affordable
fair it's just some people act like they're cooked if rejected from purdue when their safety teaches the same stuff
lmao
hmm
purdue business!! 😛
are they weed out courses
its fine
its my kind aplace lowk
fun people
who the f is going to purdue for non-engineering
finance?
yea
I think my friend applied finance
the very definition
bro i gotta lock in so hard for freshman and sophomore year because of all of the weedout courses 💀
alot of people
did u know that purdue doesnt only offer engineering
I think I’ll get to skip physics for the first two years
its pretty cool
Thankfully
😱
what do u think the other 40k are doing?
20k cs
Right to thermo☠️
veterinary science
@karmic parcel he just thinks hes him 💀
living life
ima get a 1 on e&m 😭
30k math physics or some else
lucky im getting -5
cs isnt bigger than engineering i believe
i think both physics c's only give you a semester or a year
actually ima get a You got Cooked as my score
u gotta test out manually outa of 272 for physics here
lets just say i will be retaking intro physics when i get to college
purdue does have around 60k
no ap credit getting u outta the sophmore level classes
They each give you a semester of physics courses but e&m at purdue is typically considered second year
im doing ab and e&M
we didnt start e&M tho
same
You should’ve taken bc
we start E&M in 2 weeks
That was the wrong move
bro my teacher is on crack or something bc he started e&m last month
oh shit
E&m is literally just integrals and more integrals
we only did 5 units of mech
u dont have enough calc knoweldeg then
id rather get an A in AB over a B/C in BC
my calc class just started integrals
so
maybe ill be fine?
idk im being delusional
we doign dervitaves of exponents
oh yea also, uh physics 172 is algebra based mostly
Fair point but it’s not that hard dude
Compared to AB
and its not easy
like lhospitals rule and inverse derivaives
It’s not that different besides a lil faster paced
i couldnt take calc bc bc it conflicted with ap physics 🫠
i got an A last semester tho
purdue wants me
alot of folks do not do ap physics
if i fail e&m exam
