Purdue University (2024-2025)

[pliant garnet]

The peer pressure isn’t as insane as ur assuming

[marble wagon]

nah coffee is better imo
I dont drink it alot but i like ot better than tea

[pliant garnet]

Whaaaat

The devils foul liquid

[marble wagon]

probably

tbf i've only ever tasted green tea n i did not like it

[pliant garnet]

The green and black teas are a little bitter

But floral or spiced tea is rly good

Sadly purdue dining courts only has black

[marble wagon]

never tasted it

[pliant garnet]

Def do 🙏

But Starbucks removed teavana 😔

[marble wagon]

another strange thing abt me i never go to starbucks
atleast here its overpriced af n u can get waaaaay better coffee/tea for half the cost

every starbucks drink i've tasted just tastes like sugar. Like why do they add whipped cream to everything

[pliant garnet]

The only way coffee tastes good

But we got so many Starbucks on campus that takes dining dollars

[lyric lynx]

I keep trying starbucks

random drinks

and I agree

I can take a few sips

then it gets too sweet

but I don't drink black coffee either

I need like half milk half coffee

but not as much sugar as starbucks puts in

[fiery goblet]

i love coffee

[marble wagon]

yea

[marble wagon]

btw have u pulled any all nighters or late night study sessions after going to purdue? U said u avoid caffeine so

[pliant garnet]

I’ve never done any all nighters, and I’ve done one late night session actually, it was this Saturday for a hackathon (went to bed at like 6 am)

[marble wagon]

Might go to them purely cuz of the dining dollars unless i find better places. Weirdly excited to explore the dining options even though its technically college food

[lyric lynx]

I am physically incapable of functioning without sleep

I could never pull an all nighter

[marble wagon]

same

[lyric lynx]

I didn't get a good night of sleep last night and I'm suffering because of it ;-;

whenever I'm tired

[pliant garnet]

Yeah the dining dollars locations are p good, Panera qdoba chikfila Starbucks jersey mikes and a boba shop

[lyric lynx]

I get depressed

therefore

I am depressed rn

[pliant garnet]

I’m forgetting a few fs

[pliant garnet]

Yeah same

Nothing is retained in my brain if i study too late

[marble wagon]

slept at like 3 am yesterday cuz idek why and literally crashed at school. My brain cannot function with no sleep 💀

[pliant garnet]

Yea 2 am is generally the latest I do

And my classes are all 11:30 or later

So I try to get at least 8 daily

[marble wagon]

damn

thats honestly so good
i get around 7 rn, 5-6 around exam time

less than 5 and i'm gone

[pliant garnet]

Yeah, the good thing abt college is that classes don’t start at like 8 like in hs
U could get unlucky and get a 7:30, but usually 10 am or later is when most ppl ik have their first class

And since it’s block schedule, u won’t have early classes every day

Unless u get rly rly unlucky

[marble wagon]

lmao

imagine that much bad luck

good to know though, especially for winter
i find waking up in summer pretty easy but winter me loves the coziness of the bed to wake up early 💀

[pliant garnet]

Oh yeah

And it’s soooo cold

U don’t wanna go outside at all

[marble wagon]

ngl i'm hoping the prettiness of the snow will somehow gaslight me into believing that the weather aint that bad.
Here cold weather is maybe 13 Celsius at the lowest

[eager kelp]

Goodluck 😭😭

At the lowest??

[marble wagon]

tropical zone

[eager kelp]

Fair

Well it’ll definitely be a lot different

[lyric lynx]

I slept at 12 and woke up at 6:50 so nearly 7 hours of sleep but I am not functioning because I can never sleep through the night without waking up which means I need like 12 hours of sleep to function properly

[marble wagon]

yea def

[marble wagon]

damn

i usually wake up a few times at night also but still get a decent amount/functioning level of sleep

[lyric lynx]

I can function but I never feel well rested unless I get at least 10+ hours of sleep, sometimes more

[marble wagon]

slept at like 3 am yesterday woke up at 6 am, roamed around school like a zombie n crashed for 2 hrs at home

[lyric lynx]

6-7 hours is like my bare minimum to function

Less than that I cannot function at all

[pliant garnet]

The snow turns into sludge after 2 days 😔

[marble wagon]

😔

well better than rain ig
i hate rain idek why

[marble wagon]

damn thats extreme

[lyric lynx]

same

[lyric lynx]

yes

I am planning on napping

after I get home

I am

very depressed rn

sleep

will make me feel better

[marble wagon]

Get some sleep asap

Imma do the same now (night here)

[sinful viper]

hello purdue hopefuls

[karmic parcel]

why would need to go to sams club tho

[hardy spear]

Bro class starts at 7:20 for me 💀

And bus comes at 6:20

[pliant garnet]

Every drinks en masse

[pliant garnet]

Yeah college will be so so much better

[karmic parcel]

Just know, u will not eb able to do 730s at college

Just cause u did it in hs

[lyric lynx]

I quit zero period because of that

I did it for years

I can't do it anymore

[eager kelp]

Energy drinks

And bulk snacks for the from

Dorm*

[eager kelp]

I can barely do 7:50 classes in hs as it is 💀

[karmic parcel]

I can only wake up at 10

Maybe 930

If I'm pushing it

[hardy spear]

We don’t even have that, this is normal times for everyone

[lyric lynx]

Ouch

[sinful viper]

i started at 7:30 in hs and it is not even close to the same as a 7:30 in college

[glass lake]

i was regularly waking up at 4am this summer for opening shifts at work and i struggle to wake up before 9am now

[ocean lichen]

how am i supposed to email polytechnic

do i find their email on their website or smth

like is this the correct email

[email protected]

[pliant garnet]

im sorry what

[ocean lichen]

what

[pliant garnet]

[ocean lichen]

do i just email them directly using my personal email

[pliant garnet]

has it been 2 weeks

[ocean lichen]

more than

i forgor

3 weeks yeah

[pliant garnet]

yeah email them, if thats not the correct email address, then theyll prolly forward u to the right one

[ocean lichen]

alr

ty

wait lowkey i kinda need help writing the email

what do i put in subject line

[pliant garnet]

application update request or smth

[ocean lichen]

Hi Purdue Polytechnic,

A few weeks ago I requested my application to be shared with Purdue's Polytechnic campus at Lafayette, and I wanted to follow up to check on the status of my application.

smth like this?

[pliant garnet]

yea sure

[ebon cipher]

Why does that email say “oil up”

[ocean lichen]

cause

the boilerrooms make em sweaty

[hardy spear]

That’s the Purdue motto

Type shi

[hardy spear]

Did you get deferred from Purdue?

[ebon cipher]

Ain’t it boiler up 😭

[pliant garnet]

yea

[fiery goblet]

should i start a2homelessness centres instead of college

[obsidian glacier]

compensate by getting nice sat and write some olympiads ig

[sinful viper]

we don’t do chancemes

[fiery goblet]

Oh wait sorry didn’t realize that that’s a chanceme

My bad won’t happen again

[fiery goblet]

Ihnc what to do for olympiads cuz if i start doing olympiads in my senior year it’ll look pretentious

i haven’t ever taken an olympiad before

[hardy spear]

Prolly, depends on your stats and ecs

[mortal forge]

essays also

im v proud of my purdue why purdue essay icl

[marble wagon]

Lol same
Ngl i think my purdue essays were the best ones out of all my essays

[hardy spear]

Same here

But still got deferred somehow

I swear they were my best essays out of every supp I wrote

[fiery goblet]

deferred means u still have a chance to get accepted when RD results come right?

[hardy spear]

Yeah

[mortal forge]

sendd urs and can u read mine

[vocal solar]

when do deferrals get decisions do yall think

[ocean lichen]

no i sent my app to polytechnic

i got rejected

[eager kelp]

Nooooo

[ocean lichen]

yeah unlucky

i might consider polytech if i get in

but i heard its hard to transfer to main

[eager kelp]

Wait so did you get rejected from Purdue or just polytechnic?

[ocean lichen]

purdue

and they sent me an email saying i could send my app to other campuses

[eager kelp]

Ah okay

[wide scroll]

when do they drop defferals update

[hardy spear]

Never 💀

anyone know if it’s true that they send out rejections towards the end of March?

[ebon cipher]

I’d assume they don’t reject until later on

Or waitlist until later

Most likely just acceptances until mid March

[hardy spear]

I hope so 😭

I applied for engineering too so I might be cooked

Does being deferred mean they like you and there’s no space or they just haven’t gotten to your app yet?

At Purdue specifically if anyone knows

[ebon cipher]

They read your app thought you weren’t bad enough to be rejected but also not good enough to be accepted compared to other applicants at that moment in time

They will look at your app again in RD compared to other applicants

[ebon cipher]

Same deferred but we can only hope

I’m hoping they accepted less EA and deferred more because of making sure space issues don’t happen again

[tawdry notch]

purdue defer decisions should come out in waves around march right

has some people gotten their defer results back already?

[hardy spear]

Would an updated resume with new awards and a loci talking about the impact I’ve continued to have on the organizations and a company help further?

[ebon cipher]

highkey doubt they will look at the resume much but the LOCI will 100% help

[valid pollen]

does anyone have a good loci example

[whole junco]

isnt it too late for loci

[balmy ginkgo]

^^^

[bleak bay]

lol prolly but its still open

[balmy ginkgo]

"oil up" is crazy bruh 😭

[ebon cipher]

Probably yes

But don’t expect many results for engineering/CS any time soon

[tawdry notch]

i see

[marble wagon]

purdue stick to boilerup, oil up is wild 💀

[pliant garnet]

im sure they just edited it

[fiery goblet]

anyone applied ai this year?

[pliant garnet]

im curious as well

[grim sonnet]

it was my 2nd mjor but i somehow got cs

but i do remember one person here getting ai

[fiery goblet]

Damn

[obsidian glacier]

i hope my transfer to ai gets accepted

[fiery goblet]

Indy?

[obsidian glacier]

west laf

[fiery goblet]

Wait didnt you apply indy by mistake tho

[obsidian glacier]

i did

[fiery goblet]

ohhh so u wanna transfer from indy to wl

makes sense

[hardy spear]

My friend did and he got deferred, he’s genuinely the smartest person I know with perfect grades and sat and somehow still got deferred, maybe it’s not a grade thing?

[fiery goblet]

oh no

[hardy spear]

Not to scare you but it’s somewhat random

Imo at least

[fiery goblet]

you failed at not scaring me i am going back to applying to homelessness centers

[hardy spear]

Nah you’ll get in where you’re meant to be

[fiery goblet]

i hope.

[obsidian glacier]

u realize ur applying for cs major

ur signing up for homelessness

[hardy spear]

I don’t have any good options rn and I’m not too worried because I know that I’ll get somewhere I’m supposed to be

[fiery goblet]

Im applying for ai major

[obsidian glacier]

thats even cooked

[fiery goblet]

oh opk

👍

[obsidian glacier]

but yeah

[fiery goblet]

No problem ill get in

[obsidian glacier]

good luck

[obsidian glacier]

what all

[fiery goblet]

tyy

[hardy spear]

All my options rn?

[obsidian glacier]

yeah

[fiery goblet]

yeah

[marble wagon]

how do i check my financial aid offer? Is it released yet? It just occured to me for other unis i could see it on my portal but can't find anything for purdue

[balmy ginkgo]

i applied AI

and got deferred lmao

when do rd results come out

[fiery goblet]

just wondering, what were your stats?

[balmy ginkgo]

3.84 gpa, 1490, oos, good ecs and essays imo

[fiery goblet]

yeah im cooked

thanks

[balmy ginkgo]

why?

[fiery goblet]

dawg if youre getting deferred with stats like those

i cant even imagine whats gonna happen w me 😭

[balmy ginkgo]

theres a lot of luck involved

but generally i thought that was expected

isnt a 3.84 pretty low?

at least if ur coming from ahyper competitive high school

[pliant garnet]

🫂

hope u get off!

[eager kelp]

Bro what?? I got in with that gpa and a lot lower test score what is the admissions office smoking

[hardy spear]

My friend got deferred ai with 3.98 uw, 1520 sat 💀

Not even cs, for ai

[eager kelp]

Bro what??

I’m so lucky wtf

[vocal solar]

I had a 4.15, 1490, good ECs and essays 😭

deferred from CS

granted my gpa was on the lower side

[hardy spear]

Also there’s ppl that got rejected in my school for fye with basically perfect stats

But thats fye

[velvet hare]

stats doesnt mean allat

[plucky sinew]

I had a 1550 4.81W/3.95UW 2x published research at t10s, big tech internship, national awards, international npo founder, and I got deferred cs ☠️

and my usaco plat friend also got deferred

[tight lotus]

yeah purdue deferred a lot cs

what did u guys write in the locl?

[marble wagon]

U were fine till u added the cs part

[whole junco]

i dont remember but prolly something dumb

[misty jacinth]

Brother you had a 1500

But regardless yeah you shoulda gotten in

[ebon cipher]

You’ll definitely get in somewhere better

That’s an insane app

[brazen kiln]

deferred 4.0 uw 1490 decent ecs good essays

we're basically the same person

[plucky sinew]

oops yeah I submitted a 1500 to purdue ☠️ I got a 1550 later

[plucky sinew]

hopefully

[pliant garnet]

holy crap

bro seeing all of yall, and seeing how intelligent some of the ppl here are

idek how im here

[misty jacinth]

Eh you’ll prolly be fine rd

Just wait

[vocal solar]

😭

hopefully we both get in 🥺

[pliant garnet]

🙏

[balmy ginkgo]

i think it might be yield lowk 💀

[pliant garnet]

#1268142369744621620 message

no 😔

[balmy ginkgo]

they prolly expecting u getting into an ivy

[vocal solar]

to be fair, purdue CS (or engineering) isn't a safety

[balmy ginkgo]

yea ik

but thats s oweird

ik plenty of crazy crakced people wh oget in

[vocal solar]

(and I don't think purdue yield protects either)

[balmy ginkgo]

but many who dont

so its weird

[vocal solar]

it could just be space constraints

[balmy ginkgo]

like essays aside

[pliant garnet]

yeah check channel pins

[velvet hare]

@plucky sinew nerd

[balmy ginkgo]

there has to be something

[vocal solar]

there's only so many seats, and lots of talented students

[velvet hare]

doesnt matter

they had something admissions officers didnt like

💀

[vocal solar]

sure, every applicant is different

they aren't offering admits just blindly based on stats

[velvet hare]

different*

🤓

[vocal solar]

😔

there's space considerations, fit considerations, etc.

[velvet hare]

average a2c people: "I had these stats pls let me in now" 🤓

[vocal solar]

maybe they want a specific type of student that rounds out their incoming student pool, at the cost of an also qualified applicant that maybe did not check that box.

[plucky sinew]

hell no

I have a usaco camp friend who got in so

and two isef kids

[vocal solar]

it looks like you're bay area from your profile too, and to my knowledge admissions is pretty tough over there regardless.

[pliant garnet]

dude

[vocal solar]

it's a similar situation in my county 🥴 pretty much every applicant is cracked, which makes getting into state schools an issue

[pliant garnet]

the bay area was p bad this year for some reason

[plucky sinew]

yeah it's pretty bad here but in the past nearly everyone from my school got into purdue cs

[pliant garnet]

like purdue took quite a few less

these past few yeaers

[vocal solar]

yeah same with my school

[brazen kiln]

nah we getting in ong

lmk if you get in

ping me

[vocal solar]

i gotchu

[brazen kiln]

🫡

wait are you cs

[vocal solar]

mhm

[brazen kiln]

same

dubs

[pliant garnet]

the cs dept is cracked af

hope yall get in :D

[brazen kiln]

i'm waiting on this deferral and gt

[vocal solar]

I've got a few RD apps I'm waiting on, mostly reaches

[brazen kiln]

thank you ❤️

ivys?

[vocal solar]

yeah, princeton

and then CMU, which is also just as good

[brazen kiln]

u got that gang

i believe

[vocal solar]

😤

[pliant garnet]

cmu

their ai program is dreamy

[vocal solar]

yeah it'd be amazing to go there

really grindy though from what I've heard

[pliant garnet]

yeah

but that sweeeet 150k average starting salary

[vocal solar]

but damn are some of the professors just brilliant

[tawdry notch]

i have a friend who got deferred usaco plat too

i think that purdue this year looked less at merit

and more at your essays

i have barely any academic awards, all just ECs and nonacademic awards (mostly)

[hardy spear]

If I get in I’ll tell you my stats @fiery goblet

[fiery goblet]

yup i’m FUCKED!

[fiery goblet]

oh my shit

[fiery goblet]

alr

[marble robin]

What-

I feel like GeorgiaTech would take you 😭

[plucky sinew]

rejected georiga tech and UIUC btw, and I did research at UIUC

shits cooked 😭 I think theres fundamentally something wrong with my app

I have UMD, UW-madison, Northeastern, penn state so far and ig I'm fine with going to umd or uw-madison but I'm hoping rd goes better

[balmy ginkgo]

did u happen to get the northeastern NU.in program lol

[plucky sinew]

oakland

[balmy ginkgo]

oh lol

[plucky sinew]

yeah im not gonna go to neu probably

if I get fucked by rds ill go to umd

[balmy ginkgo]

why not madison lmao

[plucky sinew]

umd's location is better + more faang recruiting + I feel like madison has an overbearing party culture

and also im asian and only like 7% of uwm is asian compared to 22% of umd

[fiery goblet]

in applying to umd too

[grim sonnet]

how tf did you get defrred?

[rugged sequoia]

Purdue Indy Lux is actually crazy

[hardy spear]

I heard there’s a huge prison next to umd and also some of the area is pretty scary down there 😭

[obsidian glacier]

yeahh

[karmic parcel]

Its cause ur goated

[vestal urchin]

has anyone been accepted yet rd

[mortal forge]

im p sure they start sendding out rd acceptances in march

[open cosmos]

crazy expensive

[ebon cipher]

A couple for Indy campus

Maybe some tomorrow for west Lafayette

[pliant garnet]

Nah im hella stupid

Working with all the other ai and cs majors makes me realize how little I know

[karmic parcel]

I mean, it's freshman year of college.You weren't expected to have graduate level knowledge freshman year

[pliant garnet]

but like all the other freshmen

are so so smart

[karmic parcel]

It's about persistent my friend

They might seem smart, but it's about who lasts the longest

Don't try to compare yourself a phone because it won't help you

[pliant garnet]

meaning?

like it didnt save?

no portal astro 😔

just wait for the actual decisions to come

[ebon cipher]

No no not portal Astro this is just what has happened previous years

My bad chat

[pliant garnet]

i mean that is portal astro :(

[ebon cipher]

Idk I remember reading someone calling admissions and they said that

Okay I will shush

[fringe gyro]

do we know when it’ll come out? maybe tomorrow right

[plucky sinew]

yeah ig the location itself is kinda mid 😭 but for swe jobs theres a lot of defense companies nearby and also proximity to DC is just good in general

[balmy ginkgo]

lmao i think i got rejected from purdue rip

i tried logging into some admitted students webinar thing

and it says These events are reserved for students offered admission to Purdue University. Please contact us for assistance if you believe this to be an error.

[eager kelp]

No portal astrology

you don't know until you've received a decision

[tropic kiln]

when does purdue fin aid come out?

[balmy ginkgo]

the housing ones are usually right tho

[pliant garnet]

stop with the portal astrology

theyre not allowed in the server

[balmy ginkgo]

oh

[pliant garnet]

and there is a chance all decisions havent been made yet

[ebon cipher]

That is not how that works

[pliant garnet]

just wait for the actual decision

[fiery goblet]

yo

[ebon cipher]

They have not updated decisions into the portal yet so it’s right that you shouldn’t be able to access it

[pliant garnet]

eyy snowy when does udub come out again?

[eager kelp]

2 weeks or so

[eager kelp]

1st - 15th

[pliant garnet]

good luck!!!!

[eager kelp]

Thank you!

[eager kelp]

I'm ngl although i'll be sad i kind of want to not get CS at UW purdue just sounds so aweome 😭

[pliant garnet]

hey its great that u got such a good fallback :D

[eager kelp]

Like i'll be studying Cyber Security which is what i want to do with my life and the campus and area just sounds so awesome

[eager kelp]

Yeah :)) i'm so happy they accepted me

If i get in i'll be really happy with UW

and if i don't i'll be equally happy knowing i get to go to Purdue

Win win fr

[ocean lichen]

so i emailed purdue polytechnic abt my app status a few days ago

they havent responded yet

do i email again or what

[karmic parcel]

no

[ocean lichen]

ok

[ripe badge]

when dos RD come out?

[remote nymph]

in the past have deferall acceptances been before RD?

[balmy ginkgo]

yes

[remote nymph]

[velvet hare]

yes

[brazen kiln]

this friday as in today?

wait do they roll out like every friday or a just random days

[brazen kiln]

i'm only basically waiting on purdue and gt for rd

[obsidian glacier]

im waiting for ultra reaches

privates mostly

99.9% i aint getting in

[rugged sequoia]

I rly don’t wanna go to Indy

[obsidian glacier]

if i do, well god is there

[obsidian glacier]

ur going to indy?

what other options u got

[rugged sequoia]

I mean I got in

[rugged sequoia]

So far?
Rutgers, Umass, Penn state (2+2) tho and ASU
Waiting on UIUC, Udub and UCs tho

[obsidian glacier]

i'd go for umass ngl

mine are texas a&m and vt

[rugged sequoia]

Yeah but again it’s a Purdue degree

[obsidian glacier]

rest all are either too expensive or ion wanna go there

[rugged sequoia]

Oh ya I’m waiting for vt asw, got rejected from A&M lol

[obsidian glacier]

purdue is like 10k cheaper

kinda

[rugged sequoia]

Oh ya I applied to USC, NYU and BU asw but no shot I go there cuz it’s too expensive

[obsidian glacier]

i mean

its boston

if u grind hard u could get placed pretty decent

u intl?

[rugged sequoia]

I was talking to an alumni who graduated from Purdue for aerospace and he said that it’s not that bad and I can always transfer
Plus he told me one of his friends transferred from WL to Indy which is something 💀

[rugged sequoia]

Yea

[rugged sequoia]

Fair enough

[obsidian glacier]

wait

ur going for aerospace?

whats ur major

[rugged sequoia]

No no the guy I was talking to is in aerospace, graduated from it

In WL only

[rugged sequoia]

Cs

The standard

[hardy spear]

I just called Purdue admissions for some general questions and at the end I asked when decisions would likely be coming out

And the lady said it would be March 31st and I asked if it was rolling until then

And she said no…

It’ll be on March 31st

I lowkey think she might be trippin

But idk that’s just what she said 🤷‍♂️

Someone else confirm please 😭

[ebon cipher]

Who knows

[hardy spear]

I hate Purdue for edging so much

UIUC has an official date

For rd

While Purdue is because so sped with their weird ahh decisions schedule

[ripe badge]

yeah the admissions site says that too

[hardy spear]

But…

That’s they’re website 😢

[hardy spear]

Huh 🤔

[tawdry notch]

Oh what the

I guess your essay wasn’t baller

[ebon cipher]

Just check every Friday

And if it’s not out then March 31st

[hardy spear]

Aight 😭

[vestal urchin]

soo could be today

[bleak bay]

is it bad if i recently submitted the loci? Or will my decision just come out later

[obsidian glacier]

didnt the deadline pass longggg ago

[bleak bay]

that was the deadline for switching to indianapolis

[obsidian glacier]

? no

[bleak bay]

theres no specific stated deadline for loci

[obsidian glacier]

oh

idk then

[hardy spear]

Idk, I’d expect them to admit people who submitted earlier since it’s rolling

Also idk, might not look good in the demonstrated interest department since you took a long time to submit it and your interest in Purdue might not be as high as others

Just speculation tho

[obsidian glacier]

thats prolly true

but if u got a strong asf application

its fine

[bleak bay]

yeah ig j spent my time on it

and also no deadline i kept pushing it back lol

[obsidian glacier]

@pliant garnet sorry for the ping but did u find any indy students doing research at wl

[pliant garnet]

No 😔

At least in my lab, everyone is wl

Cuz it’s all in person even though it’s a tech lab

[ebon cipher]

Okay now Purdue please clutch up

🙏 🙏

[fringe gyro]

Did anyone get a decision today?

[hardy spear]

Anyoneeee??

Decision?

For west Lafayette

[ebon cipher]

Don’t believe so today

[hardy spear]

Yeah none today prolly :((

[ebon cipher]

Onwards to next Friday!

[hardy spear]

W mentality

If I don’t get into Purdue is over chat

[ebon cipher]

What’s your backup?

It’ll be a better ratio than uiuc but I wouldn’t expect much tbh

[wide scroll]

no it aint until it is

[fringe gyro]

hopefully it’s next week

it’s reeaal tempting to just commit to uiuc rn

[ebon cipher]

Moon you have UIUC right?

Oh yeah you do

Wair can RD applicants even apply for engineering?

Or does it close since there are so many applicanrs

[hardy spear]

Idk, I literally just checked and I got into UConn for biomedical engineering somehow

Main campus too

Woah

I thought it was hard to get into there for anything bio related since it’s a really good school for med

Damn kinda in shock lol even though it’s no UIUC or Purdue

[hardy spear]

I got into vtech, Rutgers, Minnesota twin cities, UIC, full ride at Illinois Wesleyan university, full ride at north central college, saint Louis uni (almost full ride), and Loyola uni in Chicago almost full ride

But so far none of those colleges I actually like :((

Purdue and UIUC were my dreams, I’ve been there so many times and I love the vibe and campus

No other college I’ve been to match the vibe at those two imo so I can’t really decide where to go with the options I have rn

[hardy spear]

Stayin strong 💪

[wide scroll]

thats the spirit ma guy

[fringe gyro]

anyone any updates?

[ebon cipher]

Tech is nice

I got UMD and OSU

[fringe gyro]

no purdue decisions today?

[ebon cipher]

Nope

Check back next Wednesday

[fringe gyro]

oh they release wednesday too?

[ebon cipher]

Mostly Fridays but past years they’ve also released some on Wednesdays

Just check every Wednesday/Friday until the 31st

[fringe gyro]

damn

[hardy spear]

source for wednesdays?

sen pls :((

[ebon cipher]

Oh just saw this

Let me find it

[fringe gyro]

[ebon cipher]

You have two months

[velvet hare]

[hardy spear]

Purdues gay

[spiral forum]

[hardy spear]

But I didn’t get in yet :((

[ebon cipher]

Yeah just withdraw your app guys

Trust Purdue ain’t all that

[fringe gyro]

wait other than fye, does purdue admit by major or college

[velvet hare]

Majror

[fringe gyro]

I rlly hope many have withdrawn their apps

🥲

[hardy spear]

withdraw if not attending plzzzzzz

:(((((((((((

[restive current]

when were the waves for deferred ppl last year

i've heard ur cooked if u dont get ur decision in the first 2 waves

[hardy spear]

Have there been any waves yet for this year?

[hardy spear]

Mid March

[hardy spear]

Yeah same, heard that too

[restive current]

did they defer more this year

that's my cope

[ebon cipher]

Yes because they can’t over admit again

So they deferred more to scope out how many ppl commit before RD

[restive current]

like substantially more?

because didnt they defer a lot of ppl last year too

and it was rly cooked last year

[ebon cipher]

Yes even more than last year

They have been over admitting every year since Covid

Can’t do it again this yesr

I’ve heard more ppl are looking towards uiuc and other schools so that might help out

[edgy steppe]

They are.

[ebon cipher]

Well that’s a good sign, I don’t think Purdue would want to underadmit for their class by a lot

NOOOO Im reading thought my loci and I added an “I” on accident

How bad is a typo gonna sell me

[eager kelp]

You're good don't stress

[eager kelp]

Not by a lot

but they severly overadmitted last year

by like 900?

@pliant garnet

[pliant garnet]

yeah

BUT

it wasnt admissions, admissions actually underenrolled last year

acceptance rate declined quite a bit

but then the palestine protests in IU made a lot of in state IU commits switch to Purdue since we didnt have as big protests

so underadmitted and overenrolled

[eager kelp]

Ah

That's right

It was a large number tho right

it was like 1500 or something students

that they overenrolled

[pliant garnet]

yeah

[eager kelp]

dayumm

I'm so happy I got in omggg

I'm most liekly touring next month i'm so hyped

If i don't get UW i'm coming on the 15th

of April

[hollow field]

hi, i applied to purdue RD in january and am a bit confused on when decisions come out?

[fiery goblet]

what'd you apply for

(Major)

[eager kelp]

Cyber Security

Most fire major at Purdue 🔥

(Besides AI)

[fiery goblet]

DAMN

[fiery goblet]

Real AI is goated

Can you put like

"choices"

liok

first choice

second choice

third choice

for majors

[eager kelp]

Fist Choice and Second choice

[eager kelp]

RAhh best major fr

It's mostly hands on too

[fiery goblet]

That's fire

Originally i was thinking of putting first choice AI 2nd choice CS

maybe ill put the 2nd choice as data science instead of cs

[eager kelp]

Fire

[fiery goblet]

idk

[eager kelp]

CS competitve AF

I was going to apply CS but i didn't cause my stats are kind of middd....

[fiery goblet]

ya exactly

same reason

What are ur stats

[pliant garnet]

if u put cs as second choice

they wont consider u for cs

stupidly u have to put it as first choice

[fiery goblet]

nah i will put ai as first choice

[pliant garnet]

but people ik got ai as second choice and got in for ai after getting rejected cs first choice

[eager kelp]

3.83 gpa 1250....

[pliant garnet]

hell yeah :D

[fiery goblet]

Damn thats not so bad

Your gpa is good

[eager kelp]

yeah gpa is aight

SAT is ass

[fiery goblet]

for me its gonna be the other way around

[fringe gyro]

damn

thats amazing tho

with that sat score

[fiery goblet]

my gpa is prob gonna be like 3.5.-3.7 ish

[fringe gyro]

are u instate?

[fiery goblet]

idk

school doesnt do gpa

[eager kelp]

fr i'm so happy i got Purdue

[fiery goblet]

proud of u 🫡

wheres the 9a btw

[eager kelp]

Oh wait i gotta add anohter one lmao

it's 10 now

i think

[fringe gyro]

u must have fire essays

[fiery goblet]

Dang

1 is purdue

what ab the other 9

[eager kelp]

Nah lmao

[fringe gyro]

Gpa carried then?

[fiery goblet]

ur paying full, no aid?

[eager kelp]

Boise State, Washington State, U Minnesota, Oregon State, University of Utah, TAMU, CU Boulder, Colorado School of Mines

[eager kelp]

yeah no aid

[fiery goblet]

makes sense

[eager kelp]

besides the 5.5k Loans the feds gave me 💀

[fiery goblet]

DAMN

i think the only reason i may not get into unis is bc of my gpa and bc i need aid + intl

[eager kelp]

dayum

[fringe gyro]

are u committed to purdue @eager kelp ?

[eager kelp]

Nah

Waiting for UW

Most liekly commiting here tho

[fringe gyro]

oh good luck

[eager kelp]

Probably not getting UW lmao

Im instate tho

for UW

[fiery goblet]

WL?

[eager kelp]

Yup

[fiery goblet]

fireee

[eager kelp]

ikr

Watiing for Uwash and if that doesn't turn out

committing here

then I get to tour in April 🔥

I'm already signed up and it's all booked and everything lmao

[fringe gyro]

ahh I hope purdue releases rd sooonn

wait is killing me

[eager kelp]

Well withni the next 30 days

[fringe gyro]

if I aint getting in first 2 waves--->cooked

[eager kelp]

nahhhh

[fringe gyro]

idk ppl are saying after that they send waves of rejections

🥲

[hollow field]

there is waves?

have any come out

[hardy spear]

F IU

[hardy spear]

Idk if Purdue is need aware or not for intl’s

[fiery goblet]

i don’t think they even give aid to intls dawg

[ebon cipher]

Probably not just like all the other stingy state schools

To be fair Purdue is the cheapest

[fiery goblet]

yeah exactly

isn’t it like 40k

[ebon cipher]

45 ish I think

[fiery goblet]

oh alr

[glad bear]

is there a purdue co29 discord?

[eager kelp]

Yeah you have to join the student hub through discord

[marble wagon]

rlly? 💀
i found the link on reddit lmao

[velvet hare]

I can invite

[eager kelp]

LMAO

[pliant garnet]

Is that actually useful

I don’t wanna give my purdue email 😔

[eager kelp]

I already did lmao how cooked am i

[pliant garnet]

Not sure lmao, haven’t done it yet

[eager kelp]

Fair

holy siht bro

i might be commiting hee in 4 days

scary stuff

[restive current]

no

last year there was a wave on the 2nd of march

so maybe today

[restive current]

bro pls fix ur gpa

if ur gpa is cooked nothing else matters

as in <3.8 for t50s and for t20s <3.9

[fiery goblet]

my gpa was shit in freshman and sophomore

that’s the problem

i can fix for junior senior

[restive current]

like how bad

if i were you i'd spam dual enrollment

universities seem to be more forgiving if your gpa is in the 3.5-3.7 range but u have a shit ton of DE

good sat cant offset bad gpa unless u have some rly good reason like u got stabbed in freshman year and were in the hospital or something

[ebon cipher]

No in a weekend

I’d expect a wave of non engineering/cs this Friday and then the rest later

[restive current]

march 2nd was a saturday last year

i'm basing it off when my friend got his decision

he was in a different timezone so it might have been friday in indiana

[ebon cipher]

Yeah that’s definitely it

[restive current]

so they always release decisions on fridays

?

[ebon cipher]

Wednesdays and Fridays

[restive current]

did they do this last year?

[ebon cipher]

Bulk of them are on Fridays

[restive current]

my friend was cs btw

he applied rd

last year

[ebon cipher]

Idk but engineering/cs is very very difficult so they need more time

Maybe they just start dropping next Friday I’d be happy with that

[restive current]

are the chances higher than last year

more defers right

last year only like 2 ppl i know got W and like 10 others just got WL or L

[ebon cipher]

Yeah chances aren’t 0

And for Purdue since engineering priority deadline is for EA you’re only really competing against EA deferred students

[restive current]

isn't priority deadline for all majors

[ebon cipher]

?

[restive current]

i thought EA applicants had priority for every major not just engineering

[ebon cipher]

I’ve only heard that engineering cs and like one other major has EA priority deadline but I’m not sure

[restive current]

ok damn

[ebon cipher]

Idk I guess we will see within a month

Let’s hope the both of us get in

[restive current]

inshallah bro

[fringe gyro]

was it like that last year?

[brazen kiln]

my friend had a 3.67 and got in purdue waitlisted umd

but he had hella rigor

[restive current]

what major

[brazen kiln]

and his weighted was 4.7

cs

[restive current]

idt they care thne

[brazen kiln]

yeah i think his weighted clutched

[restive current]

#1268142369744621620 message

i saw someone who got into penn with a 3.6 because like 80% their classes were DE

they got their file and their academic index was almost maxxed out because of that

[fringe gyro]

DE?

[brazen kiln]

dual enroll

[fringe gyro]

oh ok

[brazen kiln]

i lowkey can't wait to see my admissions file

[fringe gyro]

what major

[brazen kiln]

cs

💀💀

[fringe gyro]

u applied rd?

or deferred

[fringe gyro]

ahh gl

[brazen kiln]

tyty

deferred

[vocal solar]

I have a friend with a 3.9 weighted who got in lol

his unweighted was much less

but my area doesn't report unweighted GPAs

and colleges will take rigor into account regardless (and, they recalculate your GPA on their own, since there's no real standard)

there's definitely stuff that can make up for GPA in admissions

it really depends on the school

[tight lotus]

Whatd u weite in ur locl? And did u send mid year grades?

[grim sonnet]

if you're a fit for cs major, you're already a fit for ai major too

and since ai is your first choice you'll either get ai or get rejected/waitlist/deferred

[fiery goblet]

oh yea

true

Didnt think about that.

yo wherd u get accepted

11a is kinda

fire

[grim sonnet]

top schools are purdue uiuc umd umich cwru uminn

for cs

[eager kelp]

dayummmm wtf

[fiery goblet]

DAWG THATS ACTUALLY FIRE

im jealous 😭

[grim sonnet]

others are safeties/reach

[fiery goblet]

i hope i can get into good unis

next yr

Are you from india

[grim sonnet]

[eager kelp]

You will trust

I thought i was not going to get in anywhere good

[fiery goblet]

oh. 😭

[eager kelp]

ah

[fiery goblet]

i hope.

[fiery goblet]

Man istg its fluctuating w me

some day im like

im goated

other day

[grim sonnet]

little correction: uiuc was cs&math not pure cs

[grim sonnet]

you're from India?

[fiery goblet]

i put penn'30 in my name when i had the ego on me again but now i feel "superstituous" removing it

[fiery goblet]

ya

absolutely chopped

[grim sonnet]

focus on boards then

[fiery goblet]

i dont have boarsd

im in ib

[grim sonnet]

unis decision isnt in ur hands

[fiery goblet]

i mean i have 12th boards

ofc

ya

[fiery goblet]

true

[grim sonnet]

oh yeah thats there too

ib is amazing y'all get weightage for your courses

cbse goes as regular course

[fiery goblet]

i hope it all works out

[grim sonnet]

it will

like I said

have faith

and trust the process

[fiery goblet]

thank you boss 🫡

[hardy spear]

What’s boards

I’m of Indian descent but lived in us my entire life

[fringe gyro]

secondary school leaving examinations

there r different types

cbse, icse

ibdp and a levels are also considered boards

[spiral forum]

do you have ib or a levels?

[brazen kiln]

so like graduation exams

[brazen kiln]

yeah my counselor sent in mid year grades i had all a's
