[edgy steppe]

Lovely 🙏🏻🎉🤠

[karmic parcel]

double that number

[edgy steppe]

Yes he’s too smart anyway 😔

[split rivet]

Yo I’m a freshman in CS rn if any of yall have any questions. Remembered this chat was super useful for me last year

[pliant garnet]

How’s the cold

[split rivet]

Went to get den pops in -21 C weather, wasn’t great

Drink was good though

[shut lotus]

Now why would you go that far

Only valid is if you live in cary but still

[split rivet]

For the lore

Den pops to hilly brunch

[shut lotus]

It’s so cold bro why

[karmic parcel]

your crazy

thats insane

[odd skiff]

do the dorms have air conditioning for the summer

[shut lotus]

Are you going to your classes tmrw

[shut lotus]

If you’re in one with A/C

[odd skiff]

is it randomly assigned

or can i like

pay more to get it

[karmic parcel]

yea i have to

cs 159 is manditory

[shut lotus]

Damn

[shut lotus]

No clue

[tawdry notch]

[marble wagon]

@sinful viper (sorry for the ping) i was wondering if i could ask u some questions abt genetics at purdue? Wanted to know what courses u had to take 1st sem of freshman year, is it flexible? Is there space for an elective class? I saw that someone had posted abt having to take calc, bio and orgo 1st sem which seems like a heavy course load

[fiery goblet]

Do students who take like IELTS or TOEFL have any advantage over those who take the Duolingo test
(for intl)

[fringe gyro]

no

it doesn't matter

just take any

[fiery goblet]

youre certain?

[fringe gyro]

yep

[tulip harbor]

I didn’t take them. They offer a free test after you enroll

That I did and passed

[fiery goblet]

WHAT

[fiery goblet]

alr, thank you!

[fiery goblet]

but like wouldnt usay that its saferf to take a test before

[thick sphinx]

As long as you meet the minimum req of the college in any test you're good

[tulip harbor]

I didn’t want to spend money. Simple as

[thick sphinx]

It doesn't add to your application strength

[fiery goblet]

aight thats fire

[fringe gyro]

yeah its just a requirement not a factor

[fiery goblet]

i meaaaaan duolingo eng test isnt that expensiev

alr tysm guys i was stressed af ab that 😭

[thick sphinx]

i took the DET and it was pretty chill

[fiery goblet]

because IELTS costs a shit lot

[tulip harbor]

You can do that if your school doesn’t teach in English

[fiery goblet]

TOEFL is literally not even available in my area

[fiery goblet]

it does

[tulip harbor]

If they do you don’t have to do one at all

[fiery goblet]

no im intl tho

[fringe gyro]

I did that cuz I can send it to as many colleges as I want for free...

[tulip harbor]

So am I

[fiery goblet]

What

????

so youre telling me

if my school is english medium

i dont need to take any language tests???

[tulip harbor]

Yes

[fiery goblet]

either ive been lied to my entire life or youre high

[tulip harbor]

Well at least before you enroll

[tulip harbor]

https://www.admissions.purdue.edu/apply/engprof-tests.php

Never mind I’m wrong

But I had a good SAT

[fringe gyro]

yeah I think they considered ur SAT score

[fiery goblet]

NO YOURE RIGHT

⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️

[tulip harbor]

Oh oops

I can’t read

[fringe gyro]

yeah but not for all unis

u anyways hv to take the test

[tulip harbor]

Well yes

[fringe gyro]

in some cases it works

[fiery goblet]

yeah i'll take the DET

[fringe gyro]

in some it doesnt

[tulip harbor]

Most don’t I believe. Of all schools I looked at only CMU require it

[thick sphinx]

take the practice test first!

[fiery goblet]

Yeah ofc

[fringe gyro]

tamu needed it or else my app would hv been incomplete 🥲

[tulip harbor]

I see

[thick sphinx]

umd randomly emailed me one day telling me i needed one and i panicked

[tulip harbor]

I didn’t consider them lol

Ah

Mb

[marble robin]

Jamie :>

The former ketchup battol

[sinful viper]

i took bio 1, bio lab 1, genchem, honors seminar 1, bio seminar, and then two electives (i took calc in hs) during my first sem

but calc bio and chem all in one sem isnt abnormal

rn im in biochem, two bio classws and a physics class

[marble wagon]

idk i think its not abnormal but probably alot for the 1st sem cuz it'll still be in the adjusting to college period.

do u get to choose when u take certain classes? (ngl i havent fully understood how scheduling works)

[sinful viper]

some stuff yes, others no. you wanna get your sequences done asap (bio and chem)

calc can probs wait

but it recommends you do that first year asw

lots of people do all three and succeed. itll be hard but bio is just like that

[sand aurora]

Barely anyone goes to the south side

[sand aurora]

Yes

Unless you are in a learning community and tell them that you want to live with that community

If you aren't doing that, then it's random

[hardy spear]

Did any deferred people from Purdue get in yet?

[sand aurora]

They usually don't start giving out rd decisions the week after ea

iirc, rd decisions came out every friday or every other Friday starting in feb and going into April

[hardy spear]

When’s it likely to get a deferred decision?

[hardy spear]

Ahh

So the faster you submit loci faster you get a decision?

[sand aurora]

I think i got mine a month after submitting my loci

[hardy spear]

Ah thanks!!

[sand aurora]

I believe so

The people who do the loci will be evaluated first

[hardy spear]

Do you remember when you submitted loci?

[sand aurora]

Compared to those who don't

[hardy spear]

👍

[sand aurora]

Definitely not right away

[hardy spear]

Yeah still working on mine 😭

I just don’t want to be disadvantaged

For doing it later

[sand aurora]

I submitted mine mid to end of feb

[hardy spear]

👍

[fringe gyro]

wait they start in Feb only?

[sand aurora]

I believe so

Maybe a first batch will release this Friday

But a good bulk of rd decisions come out mid Feb to mid March

[sand aurora]

This morning, it didn't feel horrible. But that was because I wore a hat, gloves, and jacket

I usually just wear a jacket and go to class

[edgy steppe]

do people in indiana not pass out of hypothermia or smth

i assume washington is worse

[modern moat]

Umich is rolling admissions right

[ebon cipher]

Did you just update your grades in the portal or did your counselor also send first semester grades

[sand aurora]

That happened last year

But it was after a party and the guy was drunk

[sand aurora]

If it allows you to update grades, do it

I also had my counselor send updated grades

[sand aurora]

If you buy a nice jacket and some boots, you should be good

[edgy steppe]

doesnt drinking help build up heat

🥰

[edgy steppe]

ah ohk

[sand aurora]

That's what I've been told

[split rivet]

it wasn’t that bad, we just had to stop in 2 random buildings for each way bcs we couldn’t feel our ears

[split rivet]

It actually helps in lowering your core temp

[pliant garnet]

bro why didnt they cancel class

i dont wanna walk ughh

[sinful viper]

it’s so cold

[edgy steppe]

counter intuitive

they gave me rum in germany

my body turned into a furnace for like 10 seconds

[sinful viper]

[karmic parcel]

Its needs to be -40 windchill

[ivory hollow]

wow its so hot over there

[karmic parcel]

-1 farienheight

[hardy spear]

Can anyone read my loci?

Please 😭

I’m going to turn it in today

I have no other time to ask my teachers because I have two AP physics c tests tmr

I genuinely have zero time today because I have to go to work 😭

So imma be pulling an all nighter

[ivory hollow]

i'll look

[hardy spear]

Thanks!

Can I dm you?

[ivory hollow]

just DM me ur loci

[hardy spear]

Alr

[rapid fractal]

Feels like -22 is insane

[vale bluff]

day ??? of waiting for purdue stickers

[shut lotus]

if i was intl i was COOKED bc i got a C in soph year english, but would my english SAT have offset?

[shut lotus]

and abandoned

[marble robin]

I don’t think anything can offset anything, but, if you show an upward trend after that C, then I consider that an offset. But you’ll also be competing with others who have B’s or A’s in sophomore year.

Actually I don’t think one grade is a make or break tbh.

If that’s your only C then…I consider it an outlier if I was an AO.

[shut lotus]

it was so

but idk i didnt get into a whole lot so

[rapid fractal]

a single c isn't going to do anything

[shut lotus]

it cooked my gpa

it did a lot

[rapid fractal]

how much?

[subtle veldt]

Wait

There’s a chance you get a room without AC?

[fluid sequoia]

Yes

[subtle veldt]

Who would willingly go without AC

[rapid fractal]

people with windows

[subtle veldt]

That ain’t enough what

[rapid fractal]

idk what u on bruh avg high in west lafayette is 85

windows are more than plenty

[karmic parcel]

I would cause it's substantially cheaper

When money is an issue, you can make some concessions

[subtle veldt]

oh

i forgot it’s in the north

i’m used to like 100-110 highs

[rapid fractal]

yeah same

well a bit lower but still

[tropic kiln]

we get stickers???

[vale bluff]

allegedly that's what's in their package

[pliant garnet]

Yes

[pliant garnet]

Yeppp

It takes a while tho

[open cosmos]

i didnt get shit tf

im sad now

at least i got a lot of stuff from bgri

and bgr

[pliant garnet]

Oh yeah intls don’t get anything 😔

[shut lotus]

For the summer dumbass

[fringe gyro]

does anyone know when the earliest purdue releases deferred decisions is?

i’ve seen some people say early febuary or even late january, but idk

[split rivet]

No theyre not

You will need a fan or something for atleast 4-8 weeks per year

And I’ve experienced temps reaching 100-110 regularly

[karmic parcel]

a fan will be fine

over here theres like a month of high heat

which is managable

if ur not spending all ur damn time in ur dorm

if u got classes and shit, ull be fine

[open cosmos]

lowkey dont spend time in your dorm

you become complacent

just keep hustling 24x7 💯

and find a study spot somewhere other than your dorm

[karmic parcel]

i only study in my dorm

cause night time

if im not in my dorm

im in lambertus

cause lambertus is a fire study spot

it has amazing study rooms

[hardy spear]

Anyone know if decisions for deferred come out this Friday?

Any sources from last year?

I’m desperate for Purdue

[frail narwhal]

don’t deferred results usually come out in the RD round

[pliant garnet]

Yeah I think they come with RD

Y’all I just went and straight up emailed them, here’s ur answer

[obsidian glacier]

i can tell they are fed up with those questions

[pliant garnet]

Lmao

I’m gonna go march up to their desk and ask them repeatedly

I go to that building every day anyways

[obsidian glacier]

lmfaoo

thats cruel

[tawdry notch]

They’re so fed up

[marble wagon]

Atp they r gonna make that into an auto reply or just copy paste the same answer everywhere lol

[pliant garnet]

id be willing to man the emails if they pay me 🙏

anything for that money

[marble wagon]

Fr same lol, mentally draining but physically chill job

Maybe if u asked, the person in charge might just give u the job just to escape the emails 🤣

[tawdry notch]

Lowk not a bad idea lmao

[marble wagon]

And in alignment with the usa work culture dont forget to ask for a tip with every email /j

[pliant garnet]

if ur toxic in ur emails, then u can mentally drain others for ur job

[pliant garnet]

tempting

maybe next sem when i have more time

[tropic kiln]

just double checking, but purdue financial aid isnt out yet right?

[eager kelp]

nope

If you guys got in, are you guys applying to scholarships via scholarship universe?

[hardy spear]

Wait @pliant garnet can you please ask them when deferred decisions will start releasing 😭

On behalf of the subreddit :((

Pretty please

Or when rd decisions will start coming out

[ebon cipher]

They are just gonna say by March 31st

Not gonna give a date because there isn’t one yet

[hardy spear]

Earliest they start releasing*

[hardy spear]

Aww

[ebon cipher]

They don’t know how long it’ll take to make decisions

[pliant garnet]

yeah, just assume march 31st for now

i can ask once we get closer to decision date

[eager kelp]

Did you apply to any scholarships through scholarship universe, and do you know how competitve they are?

Cause i'm applying for the polytechnic scholarship which is one application for 8 scholarships, but i have to write 4 essays

[hardy spear]

Aight 🫡

[tawdry notch]

Just assume rd deadline for deferral, defer means move to rd

[hardy spear]

Okay 👍

[pliant garnet]

nah i didnt 😔

i would assume theyre p competitive

[hardy spear]

Are you instate for Purdue? If you don’t mind me asking how much does it cost out of state with no aid if you know?

[pliant garnet]

nah im from cali

oos

[eager kelp]

hmm interesting

well i'll aply anyways

i know high schoolers

who wants to write 4 essays

[pliant garnet]

the full cost no aid is abt 45k

[hardy spear]

Not bad

[grim sonnet]

short and precise

[open cosmos]

i agree it's good

only thing i do in my dorm is sleep or scroll reels or do some mindless work on my computer on my bed

[open cosmos]

of course they don't bruh 😭 who do yall think you are

yield proc for a public school is crazy work

especially when they're facing overadmittance issues

[tropic kiln]

do you know how/where to check if all my financial aid stuff has been processed?

some of my schools dont have my fafsa yet so im concerned

[fiery goblet]

purdue PLEASE PLEASE take me PLEASE !! ! ! !

[eager kelp]

There's a FA thing on your mypurdue you can check if they received it there

https://apps.mypurdue.purdue.edu/StudentSelfService/ssb/financialAid#!/dashboard/home/2526

[drifting lintel]

so

should we claim our acceptance offer to get housing early

or is it fine to just wait

[eager kelp]

Well if you're going to commit there then yeah go for it

[drifting lintel]

i still have 21 decisons left so i feel like its a bit early to commit

but purdue is my state school so i want to make sure i have a safe option to college in case i get rejected everywhere or i get bad fin aid offers

[eager kelp]

It's probably fine

idk when housing get's bad

just wait it out

[drifting lintel]

ur right

[hardy spear]

UIUC goated

[drifting lintel]

and they're making efforts to combat overpopulation so ig ill be fine

[hardy spear]

Purdue deferred me :((

Still very sad after a week

[drifting lintel]

very sry to hear that

best of luck

[hardy spear]

Thanks 🙏

[drifting lintel]

am i reading this right or do u have 49 decisons incoming 😭

[hardy spear]

I hope you get into Harvard

[hardy spear]

Yes 😭

[drifting lintel]

intl seekin aid?

[hardy spear]

I do :((

No, domestic hoping full ride

[drifting lintel]

ah i see

good luck

[hardy spear]

Thanks 🙏

[hardy spear]

But mid stats :((

[drifting lintel]

ah i see

my dad told me to stop applying bc i spent too much money on application fees 💀

so im done

now its just time to wait

[velvet hare]

funny

[fringe gyro]

do u guys think that RD decisions will start rolling out tmrv or next Friday?

it says 'Purdue releases decisions between Jan. 15 and March 31' for RD

[hardy spear]

@pliant garnet

Please help us 🙏

[hardy spear]

I want this info :((

[pliant garnet]

what happened?

[surreal flume]

did anyone here apply for CS rd?

[weak lynx]

Anyone know what the oos average tuition is for Purdue?

Artificial intelligence

[frigid spoke]

would you guys recommend submitting my senior year fall grades if i had a 87 in ap physics C

rest were like low and mid 90s

but 5 aps

[ebon cipher]

if you overall had good grades id submit

I ended up with a B in AP Physics C as well but I decided to submit

[frigid spoke]

like my unweighted gpa went down

but weighted went up

idk

ill think about it

[pliant garnet]

hell yeah

[ebon cipher]

i just submitted cause my unweighted didnt change but weighted went up a lot

4 APs and then dual enrollment course

[frigid spoke]

o

mine went up 0.02 points lol

[silver crest]

do you think its worth it??

im intl from toronto and i got into purdue fye

[ebon cipher]

isnt canadian college cheap

or am I tripping

[silver crest]

yeah like dirt cheap

for domestic

thats why

[ebon cipher]

If you get into a top school in canada imo id pick it over Purdue 50k a year

Purdue is amazing for engineering but I know some canadian engineering schools are goated too

[silver crest]

purdue gets u a lot of oppurtunities in the us though

[silver crest]

yeah lowkey im having a hard time bc of that

[ebon cipher]

If you do want to move into the US in the future then purdue might be the play

[silver crest]

btw its like 50K/yr vs 12K/yr

[ebon cipher]

its up to you

you have time tho dont stress rn

[silver crest]

yeah canadian decisions come out in a few months

[pliant garnet]

i would think so, but like each persons situation is different

[silver crest]

is fye really hard

i dont want to do aero just mech

is mech competitive through fye

[ebon cipher]

every colleges first year is difficult

pretty sure if you have a high enough GPA its an auto admit into your major

dont quote me on that tho

[silver crest]

hjm yeah but is the cut-off like insane for meche ng? ive heard aero is really high not much about the other disciplines

[pliant garnet]

fye is pretty difficult, some ppl are struggling, some ppl are coasting, its rly dependent on person lol

[pliant garnet]

i think so yeah

[ebon cipher]

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

[pliant garnet]

not sure, im sure its on the engineering website

yeah there it is

[ebon cipher]

it doesnt say a specific gpa

id assume anything 3.5 range and above is like guaranteed

below that not guaranteed but you are 100% getting one of the majors you pick

[silver crest]

goddamn thats deinitely high especially w that many courses

[blissful shoal]

me 😭 🙏

im so fucking cooked

[fluid sequoia]

🖕🏿

purdue

[ebon cipher]

you literally got deferred you still have a chance 💀

[fluid sequoia]

oh

ik

but purdue

[karmic parcel]

Aerospace and mechE have the same gpa requirements of a cummulative of 3.2

I didnt cook first sem

So i gotta achieve big this semester to get

[autumn crystal]

if u got waterloo or toronto just take it

but purdue is pretty cheap its like 30k usd tuition

which is like 50k canadian?

idk the exchange rate now

[karmic parcel]

Its less hard and more A FUCKING WASTE OF TIME

Take it from me

U habe better things to be doing

[valid pollen]

i got deferred oos exploratory studies and alternative of sociology

does anyone know how many people get accepted off of the deferral list

[pliant garnet]

yeah ppl do

[subtle veldt]

depends on your income

mine came back as 50k bruh

[subtle veldt]

??

[pliant garnet]

wut

i forgot the exact amount, but its less than 50k for me

[odd skiff]

Bro what

[subtle veldt]

wait i got two different numbers

[odd skiff]

its 55k full cost of attendanec

and im intl

how can 50k be just tuition

[subtle veldt]

Oh wait yea im 50k full cost i think

[fringe gyro]

do we know when they’ll start releasing deferred decisions?

[pliant garnet]

just assume like march 31

[odd skiff]

is anyone here doing the early start bs

[pliant garnet]

is that the npc?

[subtle veldt]

iDK

Idk

[odd skiff]

that's tuition and housing+tuition for me

[subtle veldt]

Wait where do you see that

[pliant garnet]

just calculate it here: https://www.purdue.edu/dfa/cost/calculator/

[odd skiff]

https://www.purdue.edu/treasurer/finance/bursar-office/tuition/fee-rates-2024-2025/undergraduate-tuition-and-fees-2024-2025/

[pliant garnet]

u can use ur info and get ur exact ballpark cost for u specifically

[ebon cipher]

Don’t expect anything until mid march

They need time

[subtle veldt]

Mines this

like

[karmic parcel]

You can bring down the housing price by living in places like tarkhington

[silver crest]

what did purdue do to u LOL

i mean they have the early start thing which lets u get time for other stuff during the year ?

[karmic parcel]

I have to do some of the stupidest classes known to man just so to I can get into mechanical engineering

[silver crest]

i thought it was standard for all fye programs though

u do a bit of everything

[karmic parcel]

I don't want to do a bit of everything.I want to be in my engineering major

Chemistry is the most useless class.I've ever taken in my life, bro

And the physics class that i'm taking is out of order for no fucking reason

And don't starve me on the CS class we have to do

If you have credits, take em and run

Don't have the mentality that I gotta redo. Class is so that I can be ready for college.

Cause it's gonna suck regardless, so at least have it suck in a major thatYou wanna be in

[silver crest]

ok fair enough i feel like im gonna be just like u if i do end up at purdye i dont know what i want to do fs yet so its like might as well see and decide

[silver crest]

right

[odd skiff]

can we live off campus in the first year?

[karmic parcel]

If you want to, but you're never gonna be able to live on campus again

[odd skiff]

Bruh

[obsidian glacier]

pov: housing crisis

[odd skiff]

id rather stay on campus for a year or two then i guess

[karmic parcel]

I mean it's cheaper

Thats bad the housing prices are off campus

It's cheaper for you to have a housing and a meals plan than without

[karmic parcel]

If you don't know what engineering you wanna do, go to mechanical

[silver crest]

thats the plan lol

wait have u gone on co op yet

[karmic parcel]

I don't know if I want to do that

[mystic agate]

Wait what I’m intl and it comes to 33k

[mystic agate]

Nah

[subtle veldt]

Maybe imlooking at the wrong page?

idk

After i got accepted i signed into my @purdue.edu account

[subtle veldt]

and i opened this page

and it said 50k+ numnber

[mystic agate]

I checked the website it’s 2k more per year for cs and engineering

[mystic agate]

50k is probably total cost of attendance

[subtle veldt]

On the page it says ill probably get 20k aid tho

i think

[mystic agate]

Quite cheap then

[subtle veldt]

No but like

Idk how to explain it and i dont wanna show it just incase its sensitive information

[eager kelp]

weird

[odd skiff]

This is the

fees for cs and engineering

[mystic agate]

Did you choose instate or international

[odd skiff]

international

[mystic agate]

Wait

See this

[pliant garnet]

thats tuition right?

[mystic agate]

@odd skiff

[mystic agate]

Yeah

[odd skiff]

yeahh thats what i sent

[mystic agate]

Says 31

[odd skiff]

wait

what

ok yeahh

33k

my bad

nominal difference bruh

our ticket from here to purdue

lol

[mystic agate]

Yeah yeah

Still though

[mystic agate]

I think it’s like 3 lakh or smtg

[odd skiff]

2k a new laptop...

shi...

[odd skiff]

Bro are you good

[mystic agate]

Wait lemme check again

[odd skiff]

you can get conecting flights for like 80k

[mystic agate]

Ok wait nvm im dumb

It starts from 93k

But like crazy long time

[odd skiff]

no

theres like flights for 70k

one way

[mystic agate]

Oh

[odd skiff]

and august is a very VERY heavy traffic time

when i flew in june i got my tickets to chicago for 110k return

[mystic agate]

Oh

So itll be a bit more for Purdue

Cuz you have to go New York to Chicago to purdue right

[odd skiff]

?

[pliant garnet]

chicago or indy

[odd skiff]

why

[mystic agate]

Or do you directly go to Chicago from Europe

[pliant garnet]

not ny

[odd skiff]

theres a direct flight to chicago

from delhi

[mystic agate]

Wait what

[odd skiff]

yeah lmfao

air india operates one

i think united does too

[mystic agate]

I thought I’d have to go to New York first

Ok that’s good to know

[odd skiff]

Bro you aint going to purdue

trust

[mystic agate]

Lmao why

[odd skiff]

someplace better awaits

[mystic agate]

Nah bro gatech ain’t taking me

[odd skiff]

any privates?

[mystic agate]

Maybe uiuc but I don’t like electrical

[mystic agate]

Cornell and cmu but that’s not happening

[obsidian glacier]

holy shit what the fuck

[odd skiff]

cornell not impossible

[obsidian glacier]

my god they are expensive asf

😭

[odd skiff]

what major?

[mystic agate]

Cs

[odd skiff]

bro that was like the most expensive available

[mystic agate]

So impossible

[odd skiff]

you can get connecting for like

70k

if you cheapskate it enough

[obsidian glacier]

dam

[odd skiff]

COE or CAS?

[obsidian glacier]

finna fly in ryan air

[mystic agate]

Coe

[odd skiff]

Ok

Tad difficult

[obsidian glacier]

wait there is cs in eng?

[mystic agate]

I wanted to do cas because there’s only 1 essay

[obsidian glacier]

wha

CMU SCS?

[odd skiff]

Yes

But there’s too much humanities stuff in cas

[mystic agate]

Whaaa

[obsidian glacier]

i solely chose coe

[odd skiff]

youre competing against ltierally every other major

[obsidian glacier]

just so that i can avoid that 650 word essay

[mystic agate]

Ece

[odd skiff]

compE?

[mystic agate]

I think it was electrical + computer

[odd skiff]

aah

i see

goodluck

[mystic agate]

But like people online are saying cmu is depressing asf because of the workload

Doesn’t seem ideal

[pliant garnet]

ive literally never been happier in my life

[tawdry notch]

why is this thread popping off so hard 😭

all the other threads are kinda dead

[mystic agate]

Wait fr tell me more

[ebon cipher]

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take

You never know

[mystic agate]

Well I’ve applied let’s see

[odd skiff]

now if the shot lands

[pliant garnet]

everything is working out really well for me here, its a rly rly nice place

[odd skiff]

we'll know that in about a week

[ebon cipher]

At least you took the shot

[pliant garnet]

im genuinely enjoying it

[ebon cipher]

💯

[odd skiff]

i shouldve done some niche major for gatech

why did i do meche

[mystic agate]

Ayy that’s really nice to hear. Is ai similar to cs or does it cover different stuff

[ebon cipher]

They don’t admit by major

I think

[odd skiff]

thye do

[pliant garnet]

thats one slight complaint, its too similar to cs

[lyric lynx]

Should I commit here and withdraw all my other applications so I don't have to deal with more rejections lol

[pliant garnet]

like its almost completely identical

[mystic agate]

Oh wow

[pliant garnet]

except for some psych phil and ethics courses, the cs/tech courses are literally the cs courses

minus the C programming

[ebon cipher]

When you apply to Georgia Tech as a first-year applicant, you do not apply to a specific major or college. However, on your Common Application, you can select an intended (primary) major and additional major of interest (secondary).

[mystic agate]

Well it’s quite recent so I think they’ll add new courses later

[odd skiff]

When you apply to Georgia Tech as a first-year applicant, you do not apply to a specific major or college. However, on your Common Application, you can select an intended (primary) major and additional major of interest (secondary). We ask you to do that because consideration of your major is an important part of our application review process, as we seek to ensure an academically diverse first-year class. In our review of your application, we look for evidence of your interest in and preparation for the major/college that you list on your application.

[pliant garnet]

i hope so

[mystic agate]

Wait that sounds really interesting

[ebon cipher]

Oh

So they do look at it

[odd skiff]

Yeah

[pliant garnet]

they need to add like optimization and stuff like cmu and penn have

[odd skiff]

everyone and their mother doing mechanical

lol

to be fair i have grand total zero engineering ECs

no clue how i got into purdue

lol

theyre all like stem focussed shit

[ebon cipher]

Thefes no niche major at Georgia tech tho

It’s all stem or business

[mystic agate]

I think they didn’t care as much about ecs this year

[ebon cipher]

Maybe business makes it much easier

[mystic agate]

Mine were mid

[mystic agate]

No humanities stuff?

[odd skiff]

industrial engineering

Material science and engg

[mystic agate]

English or communications

[ebon cipher]

I swear it’s all stem at g tech

[odd skiff]

Radiological engineering

[ebon cipher]

No humanities there

[mystic agate]

Is that even a thing

[odd skiff]

Nuclear and radiological engineeirng

[misty jacinth]

they never announce it in advance

[odd skiff]

what timezone

est?

[misty jacinth]

yep

Tragic

[odd skiff]

i mean 130 is not bad

[misty jacinth]

I think I'll like

[odd skiff]

i can stay up

[mystic agate]

Think about the cost tho

[misty jacinth]

I get back from school at 9:45 am

[odd skiff]

Nah its fine

[misty jacinth]

I only have one midterm that day

so like

[odd skiff]

80K coa is not bad

[misty jacinth]

I'll just get home

take a nap

for 4 hours

[mystic agate]

💀

[odd skiff]

bro its michigan

[misty jacinth]

yeah sorry simply cause of cost purdue > michigan for me

[karmic parcel]

did u know sanj got banned on this server

[misty jacinth]

I applied mich for the aura points

and like

[odd skiff]

i applied to mich to see if i have a chance at my rd

[misty jacinth]

the nonzero but basically zero chance I get any aid

[odd skiff]

mich coe is like 15%

but i have

[misty jacinth]

mich isn't a good indicator

[odd skiff]

but my EC formatting for mich was ass

[mystic agate]

Why not it’s really hard

[misty jacinth]

my friend was deferred/waitlisted at mich but he got into penn cs

[odd skiff]

why would you say so

[odd skiff]

Bruh

[misty jacinth]

mich is just very random

[odd skiff]

all t20s are random

[misty jacinth]

yeah, I mean getting in is a good indicator, but not getting it doesn't mean ur cooked

[odd skiff]

schools like mich care more about stats

[misty jacinth]

he had a 1570 and he was top of my school last yr

[mystic agate]

Makes sense

[odd skiff]

well

[misty jacinth]

his stats were better than anyone else who applied from my school lol

[odd skiff]

shitty essays?

[pliant garnet]

WHAT

[misty jacinth]

Mich cares the most about essays

[pliant garnet]

wait why

[misty jacinth]

unless you're ridiculously cracked

[odd skiff]

550 word essays

my essay was fuckin fire

[pliant garnet]

who what when where why how

[odd skiff]

straight fire

[misty jacinth]

mine was like

540 words

I hope they liked it

[mystic agate]

Lesgo I put it in too much effort for the essays

[odd skiff]

the most time i spent on a public school app was mich's

[misty jacinth]

yeah same

actually no

I spent more time on purdue

[mystic agate]

Same

[pliant garnet]

ok wait looking at the history, yeah i see why lmfao

[odd skiff]

I finished purdue in 30 mins

[mystic agate]

Gatech is cool just one essays

[odd skiff]

i was too lazy to apply to john martinson or a second major

[karmic parcel]

he was a bit too blunt with all his jokes

[odd skiff]

it was the first one i did

[karmic parcel]

so he got banned

[odd skiff]

the very first essay of my college app season

[pliant garnet]

yeah i see now lol

[misty jacinth]

my ec formatting for my earlies was also kinda crap

[pliant garnet]

😔

[karmic parcel]

thats just how he jokes around

[misty jacinth]

but evidently it wasn't that bad since I got purdue fye

[mystic agate]

Uw Madison has a 650 word essay for some reason

[misty jacinth]

so I'm cautiously optimistic

[pliant garnet]

eh the appeal should work out

assuming he wants to

[odd skiff]

yes same

[misty jacinth]

though I'd guess deferral from mich

[odd skiff]

my ec formatting for RD is insanely good

[misty jacinth]

yeah same

[mystic agate]

What does formatting mean

Like placements of activities

Or the description

[misty jacinth]

description

[grim sonnet]

wait why!!!??

[mystic agate]

Oh

[misty jacinth]

my awards hard carried I suspect

made them overlook my pretty cliche descriptions

or maybe they just didn't care

dunno

[mystic agate]

Who knows

[karmic parcel]

inside jokes

[odd skiff]

bro my mich essay is so good

jesus crhsti

they had 2 right

i cant find the first one

[mystic agate]

Yeah community and the other one was why Umich + why major

[tall vector]

any idea what the acceptance rate for ee and cs honors is? thank you

[pliant garnet]

last year engineering, but its inflated cuz of in state vs out of state

not sure for cs honors tho, idt they release that info

[mystic agate]

I’d say fye and cs are equally hard

Maybe cs a tiny bit harder

This is complete cope though from him 😭

[tall vector]

lmao, still it would be more valid if he actually got in 😭

[mystic agate]

Yeah

[odd skiff]

puh-doo yooniwurcity

[pliant garnet]

complete cope from them

[tall vector]

LMAO

Thank you!

[tawdry notch]

Cs Purdue this year is baked

[fringe gyro]

its going to be smthing like 15%

[tall vector]

Male, indian on top of that lmao

[fringe gyro]

cooked fr

[hardy spear]

Yessirrr

[autumn crystal]

waterloo engg is pretty much georgia tech level

its very good

#1 in canada iirc

[autumn crystal]

you dont directly apply for cs honors?

honors college admissions are separate iirc

[tawdry notch]

before waterloo after waterloo

[uncut wing]

cs honors is also separate from the honors college

you get invited after your first semester as a cs major

if you meet the requirements

[autumn crystal]

ah ok

i was scared i missed an honors app or whatever

[marble robin]

Not as much as GeorgiaTech don’t worry 🫡
We Purdue fam can cope with this

[tall vector]

Wait then what about John martinson? I got my acceptance with my freshman acceptance

Is cs honors different from JMHC?

[mystic agate]

True

[hardy spear]

So if you got deferred do you have a chance at the honors college or no?

[loud crow]

LMAOOO

why would u ask that omg

[pliant garnet]

Yall repeatedly ask abt yield protection lmfao

Decided I’ll just ask em

[tawdry notch]

honestly asking them about yieldbprotection prob a little offensive to the AOs 💀

prob why they gave you such a dogwater 3 sentence response

[velvet hare]

^

[tawdry notch]

its basically saying: yo i thought your school was more ass

💀

[pliant garnet]

Ehh it’s fine

I should’ve sent it thru my purdue.edu email

See if they would’ve been nicer

[tawdry notch]

lowk curious you should do that xD

[drifting lintel]

HELPPP 😭

Someone pin this

[pliant garnet]

Useful application information 👍

[uncut wing]

yes

jmhc is the honors college

[tulip harbor]

No

However you can apply once you get in

[fluid sequoia]

no

[loud crow]

hey not me

im one of those ppl that get rlly annoyed when ppl keep asking abt it due to copium

[pliant garnet]

[mystic agate]

Lol

[zealous wharf]

[lyric lynx]

Guys just wanted to say that if my parents let me I'mma withdraw purdue to give you RD'ers a bigger chance

So hopefully I'm allowed

Cause

My parents are paranoid

And they want me to keep all offers just in case

Which I mean makes sense

But

I think they're being overly paranoid lol

[tall vector]

Where'd u get in?

[lyric lynx]

UNC

[eager kelp]

Time to cheer for Purdue basketball

[pliant garnet]

Nah

Going on rn

[eager kelp]

yeah i'm watching it

UW is tonight aswell, but we are so terrible 😭

[quick linden]

if you do jmhc you must do cs honors

but not vice versa

[obsidian glacier]

@sand aurora how long can loci be?
also in my ea apps, i havent given a proper ec description with all numbers and all. But for RD i provided a proper ec desciprtion with all numbers and stuff. Do you think its possible to send the enhanced version of ec descriptions along with loci?

[ebon cipher]

500 words

[sand aurora]

If they allow you to send a separate resume along with the loci, then definitely do it

[obsidian glacier]

what shall i even write in the 500 words

just another big why us essay?

[obsidian glacier]

oh hmm okay

[vague zinc]

congratss

[mortal forge]

yea assurance p much

[vale bluff]

anyone know how bad purdue OOS cs was this yr

like rate

[autumn crystal]

i think it was definitely more comp this year. last year pretty much evb got in, but this yr a significant amt of people at my school got deferred

some surprises tho

kid with a 3.5 got in for FYE

kid with 3.96 1550 SAT got deferred from FYE

[vale bluff]

:wesh:

[velvet hare]

bro said wesh

[marble wagon]

[proud schooner]

[karmic parcel]

no it doesnt mean anything

like its an achiement

but it dont mean ur better or more prepared for anything

[proud schooner]

oh i didn't think abt that. i c what u mean

[edgy steppe]

so what exactly were looking for

[obsidian glacier]

usaco is math?

[autumn crystal]

i think they just filtered off stats and then just did a brief read of essays

idk maybe FYE admissions is more comp than CS

idk

[grim sonnet]

man I love Purdue

[edgy steppe]

man i love Purdue

[marble wagon]

idk, for me my sat score was bad, my grades r mid but my ecs n essays were fire
