Purdue University (2024-2025)

[fringe gyro]

is mit more selective or caltech?

[weak lynx]

damn

[velvet hare]

yall coping wayy too much 😭

[ornate spire]

Caltech

[weak lynx]

cal has the lowest acceptance rate

[ornate spire]

Yeah it sucks

[fringe gyro]

cant blame them tho

[velvet hare]

💀

yes u can

[ornate spire]

Why

[velvet hare]

they cant accept that admissions arent as predictive and should move on 😭

[ornate spire]

Let us cope bro 😭🙏

[velvet hare]

so their fault

[weak lynx]

thats yalls fault

[velvet hare]

💀

ego is WAYY TOO HIGH

[ivory hollow]

this is why we do college research guys…

[weak lynx]

i still applied to pitt and penn state 😭

[velvet hare]

not rlly

its still their fault

💀

[weak lynx]

(im in state)

[velvet hare]

their high ego gets a consequence

[ivory hollow]

like ik that purdue has a fucking housing problem so they were def going to admit less

[fringe gyro]

true but I think the general perception for purdue is that with certain stats or like rigour there shouldnt be an issue getting in...well

not this year tho

[velvet hare]

ego

[weak lynx]

imagine purdues acceptance rate just casually cuts in half after this years statistics

[fluid sequoia]

def is

[velvet hare]

more ego

[ivory hollow]

deferral sucks but seriously it’s lit not that bad 💀

[weak lynx]

yall will likely be fine in rd

calm down

[velvet hare]

people w high stats and whatnot think they are all that 😂

[ornate spire]

Rage bait

[velvet hare]

not rage bait?

its a fact 😭

[fringe gyro]

ngl stupid thing to do..

[tight moss]

Bro rd is even more cooked

[weak lynx]

good luck!

[velvet hare]

stupid as in not applying to safeties?

[ivory hollow]

don’t be negative we still have a chance

[fringe gyro]

yepp

[velvet hare]

or stupid as in they didnt apply

[weak lynx]

i applied to 2 proper safeties

[ornate spire]

Same

[tight moss]

Ye same

[ornate spire]

Got into both

[ivory hollow]

same

[tight moss]

Obv no one wants to go to their safeties

[weak lynx]

not considering ohio state or nc state because theyre oos

[weak lynx]

i wouldnt have minded going to penn state at all

[velvet hare]

oh yeah we got ohio state on the 24th

😭

[tight moss]

Oh damn are u instate

[weak lynx]

yeah

[velvet hare]

gg

[tight moss]

Dang ye

Then he Ig

Ye

[weak lynx]

i applied to schreyrrs too

if i get into schreyers i likely wont go pd

[tight moss]

For cs there ain’t no good safeties for me

[fringe gyro]

yeah...I mean u should hv some back up I meann...cuz college decsions are random sometimes

[ornate spire]

Fr

[velvet hare]

yeah obviously

if u dont ur stupid asf

[ornate spire]

UIC is pretty good tho

As a safety

[weak lynx]

i applied to ohio state rd cs as a "safety"

[tight moss]

Rlly??

[weak lynx]

improper safety tho

[tight moss]

lol nice
I don’t rlly wanna go to Ohio so I didn’t

[weak lynx]

lmao 😭

[velvet hare]

ohio state isnt truly a safety

[weak lynx]

it isnt

its still 24

in cs

[velvet hare]

ye im applying business

[fringe gyro]

nah there are a couple if u do ur research

[weak lynx]

there are def safeties

[ornate spire]

It’s not the best college but UIC grads earn similar salaries to Purdue grads

[tight moss]

What I mean by that is schools I’d wanna go to tho

[tight moss]

Ye that’s true

But it’s fine I got my safeties near me

If I get cooked

[ornate spire]

Lol

[weak lynx]

what major r u talking abt bc no way uiuc cs majors earn similar sals

[whole junco]

was there a poll here for purdue results

[fringe gyro]

oh so like purdue was one of them?

[velvet hare]

ye

[fringe gyro]

its pinned

[tight moss]

Nah Purdue wasn’t my safety

lol

[weak lynx]

purdue safety is insane

[velvet hare]

purdue is NOT a safety 💀

[weak lynx]

💀

[velvet hare]

never is a safety

[tight moss]

Ye

[weak lynx]

i considered purdue as a target

[velvet hare]

unless ur major has like a 70%+ acceptance rate

[weak lynx]

but after seeing this years stats

[tight moss]

Yep

[weak lynx]

might have even been a reach

[tight moss]

Low reach

For engineering

[fringe gyro]

for me purdue was always high reach

[tight moss]

Ye some people with crazy good stats got rejected near me

[fringe gyro]

well this tells me even I am not safe this year, def cooked for biochem

🥲

[weak lynx]

college care way more abt if ur a fit

[tight moss]

Did u get rejected?

[ivory hollow]

don’t lose hope over 1 rejection or deferral guys

[weak lynx]

so dont sweat it

[fringe gyro]

no worse, I applied rd

[tight moss]

Ye same
62% acceptance rate to like none

[tight moss]

Oh dang

I got deferred :/

[ivory hollow]

guys we will make it trust

[weak lynx]

im rlly waiting on umich

[tight moss]

Same here

[weak lynx]

if i get into umich my life is complet

[tight moss]

Are u instate

[weak lynx]

nuh uh

[ivory hollow]

u will get in

[weak lynx]

[tight moss]

Gl

[fringe gyro]

I am still not sure how they will do the remaining apps but ig deferred ones will be given priority...but again arent they part of rd now

[sinful viper]

hello future boilermakers

[fringe gyro]

this is confusing

[tight moss]

I’m hoping for GT
But it’s crazy hard oos

[ivory hollow]

if i get into uiuc imma rise

[weak lynx]

yes were locked

[fringe gyro]

manifesting

[weak lynx]

im going into uiuc with 0 expectations

[ivory hollow]

u got this

[sinful viper]

manifesting for you as well

[ivory hollow]

same

[weak lynx]

i went into ut austin with 0 expectations as well

[noble dune]

how do i fill out the loci

[weak lynx]

shouldve been negative bc wtf was that scene

[tight moss]

Ye same

[ivory hollow]

bet check ur mail on the 1st

[weak lynx]

they deferred EVERYONE 😭

and they didnt even send a proper letter

[sinful viper]

idk i've never written one, id try asking in #📝-essays or #🌻-app-questions you might get a better idea there

[weak lynx]

some lame ass notification

[noble dune]

😔 ok

[sinful viper]

also looks like someone pinned what they did ^^

[weak lynx]

also the wording made it sound more like they had technical issues than

"u got deferred"

[ivory hollow]

bro my friend invented his own coding language, built a satellite and a quantum computer and got deferred

[weak lynx]

and i was genuinely so confused

[noble dune]

ohh where

[sinful viper]

admissions are more hollistic than yall would like to think and they also only have so many engineering and cs spots

[weak lynx]

real

[sinful viper]

pinned in this thread

[velvet hare]

indeed

[weak lynx]

i hope i get into the john martinson honors college :)

[noble dune]

ohhk yeah i got it thanks

[weak lynx]

some ppl got in ea

[ivory hollow]

college decisions r pretty random tbh but it’s out of our control 🤷‍♀️

[weak lynx]

idk if i still have a chance

[ivory hollow]

don’t lose hope bro

[tight moss]

Same bro

I have bad stats good ecs
So it’s like cooked

[pliant garnet]

And dw there are plentyyyyyy of opportunities here outside of honors

[fringe gyro]

dont loose hope, right a killer LOCI...

[ivory hollow]

real

[weak lynx]

what is "bad stats"

[tight moss]

😭😭

[sinful viper]

someone here said it well and there could be thousands of kids who apply with a 4.0 gpa and a 1550/34 but they look for a lot more than that. they look for how you'd fit into the community here, the ecs you've done, how you've impacted your community, and the kind of person you are.

maybe they needed to fill out their orchestras or they really needed a student from alaska, or they needed to get a new basketball player, or who knows

[ivory hollow]

guys if u got deffered we should make a gc and review each others loci’s

[weak lynx]

ive seen people say "i did pretty bad on sat 1540"

[tight moss]

For cs t20s it’s 25th ish percentile

[weak lynx]

so idk anymore what "bad stats" is

[sinful viper]

my sat was bad for a2c, i had a 1360 😇

or maybe it was a 1370 i dont remember anymore

[noble dune]

lowk i haven’t done much since i applied to colleges

[ivory hollow]

dw mine is worse ❤️

[noble dune]

tf am i gonna write about in my loci 😭

[sinful viper]

the point is, past college applications nobody gives two shits about your sat or act or whatever

[ivory hollow]

look in pinned messages, like updates and stuff

[noble dune]

i did

[ivory hollow]

this is why i apply test optional 😍😍

[noble dune]

they wrote about their activities

[weak lynx]

im pretty sure it would be a combination of why purdue + what else uve done thats significaint

thats u havent alr mentioned

[ivory hollow]

also emphasize why you belong on the campus and how you are a good fit like see it as a pitch

[weak lynx]

i wrote abt lunabotics

in why purdue i believe

[sinful viper]

it could be a good time to really go into depth with why purdue. idrk what the appropriate length of a loci is but surely more than 250 words

[noble dune]

i already glazed them so hard

gotta glaze them some more

[weak lynx]

yeah

[sinful viper]

like personally if i was deferred i'd have probably mentioned that i wanted to combine my interests with biology and psychology and get involved with biobehavioral research, do a maymester study abroad, mentioned some classes I wanted to take, etc

back when i applied the essays were a bit different though and had a way shorter word count

so i didnt have the space to talk about any of that

[noble dune]

i alr covered most of that tho

[sinful viper]

theres always more, we're a big campus

[noble dune]

i talked about classes, profs, clubs and even sports

damn it

[noble dune]

😔

“i want to be with my fellow indians”

[weak lynx]

no way u said that

💀

[noble dune]

ofc not

[weak lynx]

ok good

[noble dune]

lmao

[ivory hollow]

i wrote about how i really admired the StatCom program and how it aligns with my volunteer work where i applied data science to empower the community. it might not be the best so

[noble dune]

when is it due?

[ivory hollow]

feb 3

[noble dune]

SHIT

bro ofc i have finals going on then

😭

[ivory hollow]

in my loci i also talked about a professor i was really interested in taking a class with

[weak lynx]

r u the guy who used up 85/250 words on the purdue essay?

oh your loci

[noble dune]

WHAT

[ivory hollow]

i'm not sure if that's really enough though so if you have any other suggestions just ley me know

[noble dune]

hell no

[ivory hollow]

me?

[weak lynx]

nvm not u

thats was coldspare

[ivory hollow]

lol

[noble dune]

did they get in

[ivory hollow]

i nearly maxxed out like i was really extra

[weak lynx]

i basically did this in my princeton essay

lol

[ivory hollow]

my friends made fun of me for having exactly 650 words on my essay 💀

[weak lynx]

common app was rough for me

cut from 750 to 625

[ivory hollow]

i made a point to start early in the summer

it wasn't until early august i had my final draft

[weak lynx]

i started everything in fall 😭

[weak lynx]

dawg i had no draft in fall 💀

[ivory hollow]

because it was literally the max amount of words

[ivory hollow]

i was really busy during the fall so i did as much as i could during the summer

[weak lynx]

ah

i was busy in the summer

[ivory hollow]

we are different

i just did a part time job and i was prepping in the fall

[weak lynx]

my internship prof gave me a break for fall bc of apps

so i was chilling

[weak lynx]

ugh dont remind me abt my job

[ivory hollow]

i honestly need to look for internships for the summer tbh but its hard

[weak lynx]

i quit bc they were underpaying me and making me do the most work

[ivory hollow]

what did u do

[weak lynx]

compared to my other coworkers

[weak lynx]

tutoring at this place at kumon but the instructor made me do extra shit like handle the online grading system site

i got paid 9

but my firned taught preschoolers and started at 10

and i was lowk mad

cz id alr worked for 6 months by then and i was still being paid 9

[whole junco]

can someone explain the difference between the two campuses? my defferal notice says that my major (compE) is available at indianapolis too and idk if i should do that or stay lafayette

[weak lynx]

stay at lafayette

indianapolis is like a satellite campus i believe

[pliant garnet]

yea

[whole junco]

aight cool lmao

[ivory hollow]

amazing metaphor

[weak lynx]

the uncles r lowk good tho

the 65 year olds

[misty jacinth]

I can confirm my friend with a nasa internship was deferred

Believe it or not

He had a 1510 and a good GPA

[weak lynx]

jesus christ

[ivory hollow]

yea my friend lit had a internship at the fda for data science and got DEFFERRED

so mad for him fr

[weak lynx]

im not even sure what the pooint for going in cs is these days

https://tenor.com/view/atlas3dss-atlas3dss-begging-atlas3dss-poor-atlas3dss-homeless-gif-25927308

[weak lynx]

real

im better than a nasa intern guys

🔥

im top 50 brol stars

[ivory hollow]

like i said before we have no idea what their criteria was for admissions, they probably considered a variety of factors into their decision but there's no way to read their minds or anything

[weak lynx]

would lowk put that on my app 😭

jk idk how good that is

i dont play val

[whole junco]

im top 100% of iron 3

[weak lynx]

i thought u could only put academic awards ngl so i didnt bother putting like taekwondo competition awards i got

damn

[whole junco]

[weak lynx]

[pliant garnet]

Hallo ivernitea

[marble robin]

Hi!

Purdue my beloved 😊

[ivory hollow]

WOAHHHH

THATS DIABOLICAL

LMFAO

that was like so tone deaf

BYEEEEE

yeah that’s actually crazy

POST IT ON REDDIT IDK

[sand lance]

huh

[ivory hollow]

bro i just want UMD 😭😭

dude they’re def rubbing it in ppls faced

it’s so passive aggressive for WHAT.

istg college admissions can be so toxic 😭😭

[sand lance]

wild

[gentle crater]

Is there a way to contact professors or staff or something ,-, I figured that would be the easiest way to show interest and get stuff to write about for a loci

[hybrid raft]

Guys

Is Purdue Indianapolis good

I lowkey realized I picked Indianapolis thinking it was main campus

And thought west Lafayette was a sub campus

💀

[noble dune]

lmfao

[noble dune]

it’s aight

for sure not better than lafayette tho

[pliant garnet]

email i suppose

but idk what theyll do for u that will increase ur chances

[gentle crater]

It's like a cheat code to understanding values and showing that the unniversity's a good fit ,-, Also shows your presistent and did your research

[ebon cipher]

I mean how would admissions even find out

ig you could just mention it but

doesn't do much for your chances

[karmic parcel]

ur stuck there

ur buildings will be built in 1-2 years

or might be done when u graduate

[frosty sentinel]

wtf this thread has 32k messages

[velvet hare]

purdue

[karmic parcel]

purdue is really popular

it was mainly purdue students rn

[pliant garnet]

hell yeah

we got more messages than any of the hypsm!!

[velvet hare]

no because people cope here

[pliant garnet]

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

[velvet hare]

"hey guys i did 100 internships and 001000101 research articles with 1600 sat and reject"

and then multiply that by 50

💀

yes

average a2c sweats

😂

[frosty sentinel]

i think part of is bc of you

and lots of current purdue students

[ivory hollow]

shhhhh

[tropic kiln]

whats the campus of purdue and outside of campus like? im oos and ive never been to indiana (or the midwest in general)

[pliant garnet]

the campus is rly nice

large and nice big brick buildings

off campus, theres a small college town

and like restuarants and shops and stuff

[velvet hare]

yay

[velvet hare]

do u think its convienent to visit IU and purdue in a day

oh shit its 118 miles away

[karmic parcel]

this place is fire

always

[velvet hare]

what 😭

[tropic kiln]

just teleport bro

thats the fastest way

you dont have to pay for gas either

[ebon cipher]

Yo for anyone who got deferred last year, do I need my counseler to send my mid year transcript alongside updating my grades in the portal?

[hybrid raft]

Wait wdym tho

@karmic parcel GIVE ME INFO

like where would I be living at

[karmic parcel]

You're gonna live in indianapolis

That's the best I can tell you, cause I have no clue what happens over there since they're an hour and a half away

[obsidian glacier]

@hybrid raft as far as i know from the people i asked, if u rly rly want purdue degree then u can take a risk with indy

its not bad but only go for it as the last resort

[hybrid raft]

So like that’s fine???

I acc wanted a big city vibe

And Purdue said I can access WestLa like a normal WestLa student

[obsidian glacier]

i saw someone on reddit shift to indy just cuz they wanted to be in a big city

[hybrid raft]

Ye nah Purdue was lowkey a predictor school

Helping me gauge how the rest of my apps would play out tbh

I’m happy to go but only if u don’t get into UW

[obsidian glacier]

yes

[karmic parcel]

An hour and a half bus ride

[hybrid raft]

Are there no classes at Indy

???

[karmic parcel]

No, there are, and some of your classes will be in. West lafayetteI'm just saying it's an hour and a half bus ride

[hybrid raft]

Ye that’s fine

I acc enjoy bus commutes lol

[karmic parcel]

Its 65 miles apart

[fluid sequoia]

dang

daily commute too

hmm

[grim sonnet]

when does Purdue release info on financial aid packages?

[sonic mesa]

Just joined the purdue discord then left because it was boring

[velvet hare]

[raven heath]

What're you supposed to put in the loci when you've already graduated

I haven't done anything new, just been doing the same stuff I already mentioned

[fringe gyro]

hv u done any major related ecs and continued them further...that might help perhaps

[ebon cipher]

Explain your ecs further and then connect back to Purdue

[blissful shoal]

literally purdude's brother

at least u got deferred im getting flat out rejected in rd 💀

math grades were ass

physics grades were ass

chem grades were straight up horrible

[tranquil finch]

purdue is good

[marble robin]

hi coping bro

[tranquil finch]

[pliant garnet]

[marble robin]

I cannot tell if this is a good or bad connotation against Purdue 😒

[pliant garnet]

purdue equivalent to cornell

[marble robin]

You mean Cornell ED ?

[pliant garnet]

[marble robin]

Ngl I think instate Purdue is financially better than Cornell

[pliant garnet]

lmao yea

[mystic agate]

Yeah the price diffeeence is insane

[marble robin]

Where is Jamie the Ketchup Bottle? 🥲

[pliant garnet]

Our biggesf commit last year based off the decisions page was UC Santa Cruz 😭😭 (besides Udub)

I mean this year is definitely a bit more competitive

God damm yeah r is really competitive 😭

[abstract elm]

my school alr has three caltechs this year 😭

cooked

[eager kelp]

Fr

[abstract elm]

probably because they didnt get into mit

💀

yea true

well two of the caltechs from my school are athletes and since caltech is a d3 school it's easier to get recruited I think

[slow jetty]

purdue is pretty sigma

[abstract elm]

and one of them was QB

[kind pier]

What gets me rescinded from purdue

Im legit falling off my grades whats the bare minimum i need to maintain

[mystic agate]

[ivory hollow]

[ivory hollow]

ily

[tranquil finch]

they made me this way

[ivory hollow]

villain arc fr

[lyric lynx]

If I get in to another school I'll withdraw Purdue too

Dw y'all there's still hope

[ivory hollow]

ily yall who are withdrawing 😍😍

[tranquil finch]

i rejected purdue to give yall some space

[lyric lynx]

x_x

[toxic lake]

QUEEN

[lyric lynx]

2 more weeks and I'll hopefully withdraw Purdue

[ivory hollow]

what school do u want to go to the most

[eager kelp]

My school didn’t 💀💀

[lyric lynx]

Yale but they never accept from my school unless they're legacy/hooked and applied REA x_x

[ivory hollow]

that’s crazy

r u legacy?

[lyric lynx]

Nope 100% unhooked lol

So idk why I applied x_x

Just waiting for the rejection lol

[ivory hollow]

there was this one guy who was like triple legacy but didn’t apply and it just made everyone mad 😭

[lyric lynx]

Other than Yale I also love Cornell but they also rarely take unhooked applicants who apply RD (but at least they do take some unlike Yale)

[lyric lynx]

x_x

[ivory hollow]

i’m hopeful for u 🙏

[lyric lynx]

My grades are not it but I'm hoping my ECs will clutch up 🙏

OH MY GOSH someone needs to get these stupid colleges to stop emailing me I keep thinking they're a Yale interview and no matter how many times I unsubscribe I swear they keep finding me

I mean Purdue is public so I don't think they do legacy

It's already been 2 weeks x_x

I hope you're right 😭

Oh yeah

I'm only withdrawing if I get a good school

Northeastern, UNC, UMich, GTech, UT Austin (technically RD but close enough)

[grim sonnet]

even ill withdraw as soon as purdue sends financial aid package

[grim sonnet]

unless its actually good

lemme know when u get to know

[lyric lynx]

Wait also UIUC I forgot about them

No idea

[grim sonnet]

💀

how do you forget UIUC?

[lyric lynx]

I've been reading through every single email for northeastern for that demonstrated interest 🙏

Ouch all my choices were not Boston lol

Honestly same

For GTech I'll probably keep Purdue

For UT Austin UMich and UNC I'll withdraw

[lyric lynx]

I'm scared of going to a tech school x_x

[grim sonnet]

are you on crack or smthg

GTech cs program is better than 7/8 ivies

[edgy steppe]

for gtech YOULL KEEP PURDUE?

TF

[grim sonnet]

ok but why purdue over gtech?

[edgy steppe]

cost?

[grim sonnet]

ok wtf

[edgy steppe]

😐

[grim sonnet]

kk makes sense

[edgy steppe]

purdue is also kinda

in the middle of nowhere

is uiuc really in the middle of nowhere?

pretty sure its connected well

maybe ive been looking at the rankings for too long

[shut lotus]

yes

they're saying what to do to commit there

and get started on things

nice joke (not really it was horrendous)

[fringe gyro]

I hope all the sweaty ppl get their ivies and withdraw 🔥

[edgy steppe]

it is isnt it

never saw that

[lyric lynx]

I'm not CS lol

[shut lotus]

yep. just like purdue. they are quite literally the same school except uiuc is more lively, less nerdy, but better at things. i will say though the people here are nicer

and purdue is significantly cheaper

[lyric lynx]

I'll likely choose GTech but my parents don't want me to go there and now they've scared me x_x

[edgy steppe]

understatement

[grim sonnet]

even STEM programs in general

[fringe gyro]

eng?

[edgy steppe]

SAME mine dont like the vibe

[lyric lynx]

I'm not STEM x_x

[shut lotus]

uiuc has a great asian community. in terms of demographics theyre hella similar too

[grim sonnet]

then why GTech?

[edgy steppe]

asian as in

[grim sonnet]

are you georgia resident?

[edgy steppe]

sa? sea?

[lyric lynx]

Yep lol, like I have a friend there (trying to transfer though) and it's good for my major

[shut lotus]

i mean depends on which type of engineering. but theyre on the same top tier

[grim sonnet]

which major?

[lyric lynx]

Which to be fair is half CS but Purdue's version of my major is actually debatably stronger

[shut lotus]

lots of both. purdue has more international students its fun

[shut lotus]

what major you want?

[lyric lynx]

Computational Media at GTech, UX design at Purdue

UX design Purdue is goated

[shut lotus]

is that in polytech?

[grim sonnet]

ic...did you get in?

[lyric lynx]

yep

[lyric lynx]

yes

[edgy steppe]

yayy i wanna meet foreigners

[lyric lynx]

Yeah same

I want to meet new people in general

[edgy steppe]

[lyric lynx]

Which is why my state school isn't my first choice

[edgy steppe]

i wanna meet north americans 😭

[lyric lynx]

LOL

[fringe gyro]

[shut lotus]

the hispanic community is like nonexistent here thats the only real marginalized community. there are a dece amount of black community, although small in numbers, lots of good people here

[lyric lynx]

Udub (yes I know it's a great school but I know for a fact living so close to home will NOT make me grow in any way)

[edgy steppe]

[shut lotus]

[edgy steppe]

[shut lotus]

you've made it through the hard part (for the most part, some application may still need to be done, i'm not sure), the waiting game and heartbreaks is the most stressful part though. when the smoke clears youll find clarity and peace of mind. thats the way it goes, toxic as it seems. just make the best out of everything you can though yk what i mean

[tranquil finch]

yappa yappa yappa

im joking

[fringe gyro]

a rejection is a redirection
