i remember u from madison thread that's y
Yeah it is for us
aint purdue worse thna madison for cs
I mean there's literally two degrees for ai, both of them have limited applications tho
You could try to transfer into cs or compE
undergrad major rankings don’t rly matter that much
like there’s no tangible difference between them
You're like comparing a honey, crisp apple to a granny smith apple at the end of the day.They're both delicious
You're learning cs either way
You're still suffering either way
At the end of the day its the same thing
Yeah
but I’ve spoken with ppl who’ve had to make that decision, they chose Purdue over Madison cuz of the undergrad research focus here, just throwing this out there
no they're about equal
Honey crisp apple.Compared to granny smith, it is negligible
ik but wouldnt it be cheaper
purdue ranked 6th for aerospace engineering wtf
bro just discovered
Nuh uh
We’re tied with caltech
And they got JPL
Yep
Yeah, this is like one of the best aerospace engineering schools
Neil fucking armstrong came here bro
wtf dubs I applied for aerospace engineering
There is a building called the Armstrong building. You don't think that this is top tier engineering for aero
I get to live another day and maybe see the new horizon
some people (usually only a2c people) get surprised purdue and uiuc are good engineering schools solely because they’re public
which is crazy 😭
neil amstrong babyyyyyyyyy
whatwas it cuz mines a 1280
?
im cooked
r u eng
I mean, because this school is really good at engineering.Just expect sadness
yes
wait is purdue out or summ
Pain torture all of it
PURDUE JUST TAKE ME BRO
Why are these english classes so stupid
did everyone get their decisions?
nah
mine still says im deferred from the EA cycle
no
not me bruther
purdue accept my change location app 
Cooked
ikr
shouldve not submitted
are only people who got accepted receiving their decisions?
nah purdue is basically test mandatory ngl
yes
all ima say is a 1280 is above avg for my school...
i wonder if I just got carried by my stats
same
i’m sure purdue is going to great for everyone
Don't worry
last year our average is like 900s
what was urs 1310?
Did anyone hear back who applied to the college of agriculture
wait deffered people got decisions right
my avg school’s is like a 1070
havent checked this in a bit
nope i applied and still havent gotten anything
is it bc i applied late?
not me
no
did any?
i submitted jan 16th
same
i shouldve gotten mine if they base it on how early you submit loci
i prolly got waitlisted
Did RD come out?
for people who didnt get deferred yes
im RD, i didnt do EA
did you get decision for rd
Wait what
no
I didn't get decision for rd
No
so not everyone who did rd got a decision yet...
weird
did anyone that got deferred get a decision?
yea
ppl above did
ppl on cc
Waiting for my D25 to open her portal. Received an email saying Decision is here at 5:15pm EDT. We are in a time zone that is 12 hours ahead.
btw
if you enter /*<![CDATA[*/confetti({ colors: [ [ '#cfb991', '#000000' ] ], timeout: 1500 });/*]]>*/
into the console
yeah?
it makes the confetti last longer
alr remind me that when i get accepted :))
Did anyone accepted for business today?
I’m so glad the priority deadline for engineering didn’t screw over RD people because when I read that I thought it would
anyone get into mechanical engineering for rd yet?
do they admit to major or just general engineering?
lmao accepted for AI
probably
general for the first year
Were you deferred?
that UIUC commit button looking hella tempting now
aight
HELL YEAH
Did you get in?
everyone getting in dw
General
I still haven't gotten a decision yet rip
did u guys get an email about purdue decision or just checked on the portal
they should've emailed if u had an update
gotcha thanks
so are we cooked if we didn't get accepted today?
let's hope not
i mean it's only the first wave
very
when are purdoodoo decisions coming out bruh
is purdue gonna drop anything during their spring break
depends on when your spring break is
No rejections this wave right
cuz mine is in april
when's the next wave
prolly next week
But its most likely cooked for me
does Purdue release in waves?
next week is their spring break
its rolling
O
ohh im curious
what does that mean
oh no there are batches released every week
the first few batches at the start of march are like the acceptances (I think)
last few are rejections and waitlists
thats what i got from reddit at least
was the first batch for purdue all acceptances
So next next week is the last batch? Its the end of march lmao
from what we know yes
week after
idt they're gonna release next week
purdue stops on the 31st
they wouldn't release on their spring break would they
sure they would
ok bet
plenty came out durign winter break from other colleges
good for us
i think next batch is gonna be acceptances too
then cooked ver on 28th
well i hope ya'll get in!
so that means the other batches are wl/rejects?
praying for ya
ty gang
np
u too
lmao idrc
if ur still waiting on purdue
nah
congrats on uw
What’s sup Purdue kids
Wassup
oh it’s out?
is any cs out?
Yeah some people said they got accepted for cs today
Thank you Purdue for the being the only school to take me so far 🙏
for me yea
omg hi snow
Hi
did u get purdue back
Yo if you haven’t gotten back does that mean your cooked
is there no poll for purdue decision results?
wait is purdue out??
ive only heard for cs majors, anyone else get in for rd?
it says application status is decided with a checkmark still for me
hope that doesnt mean complete
the letter still says deferred tho
yeah im pretty sure that's the same, it hasn't changed since the ea round
when did you submit your loci?
like mid feb kinda late
Wait is purdue out?
none of them
real?
that's a completely different program than the polytechnic at the main west lafayette campus (which leads to a four-year degree)
yeahh i submitted late too, guess i should have been earlier
bruh is purdue out yet for deferred
did any deferred student from EA get into purdue??
Yeah
people that didn't get decision today are pretty much cooked right? like they mostly give first wave acceptances and then following waves mostly rejects/waitlists
?
damn congo! which major did you get into, and when did you submit your loci?
Thanks! Computer science and January 19th
hmm that's fair, i submitted mine a month later lol.
purdue cs is pretty cool, congrats again!
how? it says it comes out march 31
Probably not
Yeah but I’ve heard there’s several rounds so you still definitely have a good chance to get in, gl!
It seemed like from last year that the first two waves were mostly acceptances
And then the very last one was like all rejects and wl
yeahh all i can do is hope...thanks tho
welp I'm deferred EA and haven't gotten a decision yet am I cooked
no just wait
yes
omggg confratsss
heard housing is pretty bad there
Aay same
i mean
Did any of them get decisions today
qualification
is for purdue to dtermine
but dont worry
march aint over
give it time
Nah i got in
But I think my friend should’ve too that’s why I’m wondering if any deferred got decisions today or if it’s just RD
how do i apply
dont worry
u can apply to honors
rn?
do i have to apply separately
after the first semester
oh
do you get the nice housing?
cook ok
u can do honors any time
only freshman year
dont worry tho
there is better housing than honors dorm
frieda parker and winifred
but its random
do a learning community
thats the best way to get guaranteed housing
most of em are pretty good housing
i got in deferred
AI
im kinda having mixed feeling about purdue since i just got soft rejected by cmu
i need time to process everything
so honors at purdue
is pretty good
u get housing
u get classes that they make u do
better access to research
community
some perks
nothing crazy
the academic validation isn't hitting
for most
its not worth it
some others
it is
for me, those classes woulda pushed me over the edge
me me me
wait but
how do we find out
are we just auto considered
if u get something from em
then ur in
if u dont
its not oever
theres so many ways to get research
at purdue
i can't handle any humanities
well that's an overstatement
but i find it hard to get through humanities courses
im curious
what even is Purdue OOS FYE acceptance rate?
whered you get that from
what's that
i got in
EA?
how many people did they accept
was that last year or smthn
does that help
w academic validation
omg i’m actually gonna die i have to go to the math comp tmrw + find out abt cmu there
😭😭
oh bro
have to wake up at 6
did yall sign up late
but its ok
ah
we'll come 2026
it’s ok
Bro engineering has like 4-5 humanities requirements
Well fye has two English classes
that's not too bad
Some of the engr classes feel like English classes
ethics classes?
No
Just engineering
Writing essays about engineering stuff
Don't worry
Ull see....
This is all engineering programs
quite aware 😔
im at least glad it's not as much of a difficulty jump as MS -> HS
humanities classes aren't easy to me, but im not exactly doing bad
what are humanities classes
English, History, Social Studies
oh damn, im the opposite i wish i was as good at math as i am at these classes
im just too lazy to be good at math unfortunately
hopefully i improve soon
do you think it takes more effort to be good at math or english
is one more innate then the other?
oh yeah english just comes to me naturally
which is wild seeing as im not a native speaker 😭
like idk grammar rules and stuff by definition, it just makes sense in my head so i never needed to learn it
like some of my junior friends studying for the sat are like doing grammar flash cards and stuff and its all like random stuff idek
well you gonna have to learn to tolerate it
no
anyone know when the next wave is dropping?
tolerate math not love it
then again
u can also just skip math
unless ur fye
love math ❤️
unfortunately physics still has math
then its hell all the time
yea i know
and i cant skip physics
i dont like it
some of this math is stupid
aops?
whats the math ur taking rn
Art of Problem Solving
linear algebra and differential equations
oh that's not too bad
a class purdue classes MA262
no it is that bad
is its very that bad
ts makes no sense
what you learnng rn
i have absolutely no clue what i am doing rn
Laplace?
no
the span of a matrix
row and column spaces
ts is beyond me
im gonna need to spend my weekend doing videos
i like the math in my genetics class. how far away are the genes from each other!
oh i see
Yeah
Thank you
yes, i got in with a 3.5
W
big reach though; middle 25-75 is 3.8-4.0
i think i got very lucky too
but tbf i had a high sat, decent ecs, an improvement in my grades, and good essays
so cant complain
still waiting on a few other schools but probably going to commit
i couldn't get my english up
800m 750r/w
ugh would've looked better though
congrays that's amazing
you too
decent chance I commit here with a 1590 as well lol
Wow purdue is stacked
got mich and uiuc just not sure if they're worth over purdue
whats your major
cost difference is pretty big
yeah that's fair tbh
compe
hm
i want to get into umich but i'm afriad it'd be too expensive
tbf i think both are probably more prestigious
they are but
uiuc got waitlisted :(
r u in state for purdue
no oos for all
yea um dont worry
dw u got a 1600
though if I get gtech after defer I'm prolly going there
you'll pobaly get it
i got a 1410
1600*
Considering purdue is also highly ranked i’d just go with it cuz 60-120k more is insane
stop being humble
i got like a 1460 then i retook
i mean u got into purdue
a few months later
i just got in today
I got a 1570 and then I retook
bro retaking a 1570 is insane
Wtf
i only got a 1550
actually autism
honestly any score above 1520 ish is good
no i realize in hindsight
wait did u get higher than 1570 at least
i wasted money
yeah 1590
oh worth it imo
plus scholarship opporutnieis
for 20 points
nothing new opens up
why wouldnt i be humble
ts is hard rn
im not gonna be bragging cause im getting my ass whooped
like there's another girl in my school with a 1590 but she's not particularly bright imo
the things i achieved keep me going
ye u dont have to be bright to get a high score
just grind and a bit of luck
A 1590 is an achievement idk how u think she isn’t smart
i already warned you for chancemes
like 5
no she's bright
just not particulaly
I imagine alot of time n effort went into that score
Oh was that you
u can get a 1590 without being extremely intelligent you just have to be above average
sorry
Yk by saying this u r basically insinuating that ppl below that range r below average
its just the sat
that's insane
no bro
that must be like 100 total each. test
no that's not how it works
everywhere on the planet
that's outrageous
he's just saying you can grind up to a 1590
no im just saying that if you study a lot you can get a 1590 you dont need to be some sort of genius
a2cers would say i am dumb
i worked hard for my 1410
Its just a stupid exam, its wild how u guys r basing intelligence on it
and I know a lot of people who've done this
now im working hard for this 3.2
and who started in like
that's my point tho.. like it doesnt determine intelligence
the 1400s and 1300s
good for them
college is so much harder than HS
its just a standarized test
we're saying the exact opposite lol
i am so proud of you fr
it really is
im fighting for my life too so i get it
i got cooked today
i overslept
cause exhaustion
and missed a very important speech that was worth alot
i think you have to be at least somewhat smart to get a high score but you dont need to be a genius
yeah I figure I'll have a 3.5 if I'm lucky
in a class
i studied like for 2 straight weeks like 4+ hours per day for my genetics exam and i still dont think i got any higher than a B- on it
and it just really destroyedm me
oh no 😭
but i emailed my prof
told him what happened
and he is giving me a second chance
Wtf
with no penalty
W prof
i have a 22 in scla 102
Having the same issue right now, is mich full price for you?
ngl bro that shit dont matter
um its folks who make the steam machine for a train
Bro this scares me 💀
Chem is supposed to be hard not bio
once youre in college nobody gives two shits about your SAT/ACT
except scholarships
at purdue the chem for bio majors is actually so reasonable
except those tiktok guys who ask for it
and those things are awesome
chem is hard and bio
Idt i cared enough abt sat even during the process 💀
and honestly so far the bio classes ive been taking were half not bad and half like okay but require effort
physics seems easier to tolerate
how
Shocking
My friends at other unis r chilling in bio but getting destroyed by chem, especially ochem
physics altogether is rough
purdue orgo is glorious
the profs we have
dr kern my beloved
Yep
Full price
It’s all full fucking price
okay discord why do u want me to die
she teaches orgo 1 and 2 for bio majors and she is the goat
yea but chemistry was so much worse for me
are they bio majors or are they other majors just taking a bio class
i got a C+ in chem
bc bio for bio majors is so different compared to like a general bio 1 class
Did u take ochem in 2nd sem?
I saw it on the sample plan on study but most ppl told me they only take it during their 2nd year (other unis though)
That’s the problem
ask sophmores
Yeah same.. makes it such a hard decision
And like
One of them is neuroscience other one is biomedical engineering
All the other intro classes
ask folks
for purdue bio majors its
freshman fall - advanced gen chem
freshman spring - orgo 1
sophomore fall - orgo 2
sophomore spring - biochem
Besides the early ones
its just something you learn through experience
Got it
they almost certainly will not take your ap chem credit or anything. theyll make you take 129
like they are conceptual mainly
Deciding between umd for 50k Purdue for like 40 something and umich for 80k
u cannot memorize
Oh yeah umd’s also around 50k for me
I got 12k a year
Ngl atp idt i’m getting credits in ib chem anyways 💀
I’m also considering that cause I got honors + ACES
129 is a good foundation for the other chem courses anyways
i got 0 dollars a year from those guys
Yeah same, didn’t get honors though unfortunately
i live one state over
It’s still 49k a year though
i didnt get purdue scholarships but ill be an RA next year and thats like the same thing
yea that is alot
😇
Oh is Purdue 49k?
i got the purdue scholarships
I genuinely dk if u r just genuinely cracked at academics or if purdue chem is actually not that bad, everyone ik said ochem was their downfall 💀
so im paying 20k a year
i pay like $42k per year for everything including travel home and shit
fire
purdue chem they want you to succeed
let me see if i can find an old exam
Oh that’s not bad at all, did you get any aid/scholarships?
no i am full pay
granted i have housing on the cheaper end and im on thw 10 track for food but
Yeah that’s super good for full price
Rlly hoping i can be a RA also, not just cuz of the tuition reduction but seems like an interesting position
im super excited so ill lyk how it goes and can defo give insight into the application process
but here was a question from my orgo 2 exam. this was 25 points (1/4 of the exam)
yea i couldnt do any of that
guys
chemistry beyond me
That looks confusing 💀
But maybe cuz i havent learnt it yet
why does it show i got into indianapolis
and then an orgo 1 example
u got into indy then
when for deferral i chose to oopt out of indiana and only for for west lafayette
Maybe cuz u got into indy?
its really not that bad once its explained imo but it defo looks scart
Is there any one you’re leaning more toward at the moment?
then just take it as a rejection ig
Okay i actually understand this question thankfully
i promise u will be so good in purdue orgo 255/256 the professors are amazing
What is acceptance rate to Purdue main campus engineering
yeah that was in midterm 2 for orgo 1
Not bad
Expected worse lol
21
this year
21 for both oos and in state or just oos
my ass thought i was looking at an ib study server for a sec 😭
we're doing orgo rn
Crazy statement
not really if u read the messages underneath it
nah not rlly
is cs more competitive or ai
Prolly cs
who are you to determine the light that others shine with
did you seriously feel the need to respond to this well over an hour later?
I'm just saying she's not a genius
you can tell when someone's a genius that's very obvious
thats kinda disrespectful bro
youd be suprised
u cant tell when someone's a genius
when ur surrounded by them
it dulls it out
I'm not particularly bright?
i didn't say that
hmm
ok then you can say that about yourself, but to say it about others
thats a different cookie
a different determinant of the matrix
a different spherical coordinate based stokes theorem integral
fair enough but like if you see terence tao you're like "oh that's a genius" yknow
like that's pretty obvious to me and everything else is like "idk"
i mean genius sometimes isnt a good word to describe someone
R u in campus rn
makes it seem like it was pure talent or like that
Ur prolly getting a tornado warning real soon
Stay safe 🙏
wdym?
I’m back in cali
sat isn't really a measure of intelligence in the first place
uiuc got a tornado warning
its not
now that system is coming to u
the same system spawned confirmed tornados in Arkansas
it's a measure of how good you are at taking tests, which ends up correlating to some extent to your performance in university
and WL is in the brunt of the storm
Purdue pls let me in
they are my pure enemy
Don’t we all 😔
I just need one acceptance 😭 that I can actually be happy about going to
for alot of us, we arent used to beign around so many equal or folks smarter than us
so youll know what intelligence really feels like, but its a good thing
nah some of these indiana folks love it
i should be fine as long as its not a ef5
same bro
got uci today but i'm not going there 😭
better than nothing ig
the sat is hard asf
Awwww congrats!!!
It’s all you :D
Looking forward to seeing u here next year!!
WHEN is purdue releasing these deferrals 😭
Yeah!!!
Thank you thank you
Boiler up!!
I’ll be on campus a month from today
I’m so excited
It looks really nice online
I can’t wait to see it in person
Get to see my home for the next 4 years ❤️
Idk man
Like it’s a rly nice college campus
Vibes
It’s spring break so campus will be hella dead this week if ur planning
Wait does the school of engineering offer a cs degree
Prolly the wrong time to ask 💀
Nah lol
They have CE
the college of science is cs
Thank god cs isn’t in engineering
Double check cs is direct admit rifht
Yeah
Nah plan on going ivy week
Maybe
We'll see

Bro
When I went to a UW event
They like
Segregated the cs majors into like
A select few tables and grouped them together
I would never do fye voluntarily
Is it hard?
Fuck engineering theory better
And u have to wait like a year to take any courses that are actually cool
dept of cs u go right into hell :D
Not anymore
It’s act not that bad
I don’t know a single person who wanted on campus housing and did t get it
Like they may have not gotten the best dorm
But they certainly didn’t get the worst
Ngl I'm def leaning UW Madison but idk maybe I'll learn something about their cs theory track that interests me lol
Sorry
We have a theory concentration too :(
(Algorithmic) Foundations Track: (Formerly: Foundations of Computer Science) Gives students a broad education on foundational concepts, tools, and techniques underlying existing and future areas of computer science
Oh I thought u were saying Madison has one and purdue doesn’t lol
Nah
We have a cs + math major lol
But majoring in anything that’s not cs or engineering is super easy
Esp if u alr are cs, getting a double major isn’t tough
The hard part is finishing ur double major lol
Purdue math is notoriously tough
Wait damn
Nah but what if pure math
Yeah double majoring is easy
Kk ty
Major in cs and then adding math major
is it possible to switch campuses
i applied early and accidentally picked the wrong one 💀
cooked basically
udub is insane
so is this possible
very rare
Engineering tho, not CS
Are they that common at purdue?
In my mind natural disasters like that r a once in a few years kind of occurrence 💀
yo does anyone know when purdue is coming?
i applied for econ but i haevnt gotten a decision yet
is it reasonable to expect rolling decisions over the weekend?
31st March
Yeah I’m struggling to pick personally
No clue if it’ll still be only fridays, but I’ve only seen stuff drop on or around 5 pm est
what about Wednesdays?
i saw someone say something about wednesdays
i have no idea though
nah
maybe expect wednesdays but most likely they roll out next 2 fridays
nope they're rolling out in waves
last wave was yesterday @ 5pm est
damn that fuckin sucks
do we think next friday will still have a bunch of acceptances or will it be mostly rejections/wl
dawg i hope they release all acceptances over the weekend
btw how'd y'all get to know about the wednesday/friday thing? contacted the admissions office or somethin?
lmaoo i fuckin wish, my ass got rejected from cmu
Whaaaaa crazy
Purdoodoo where are youuu
we from looking at past years
idk how we got wednesday
but even ea this year was on a friday at 5
i think we'll get acceptances next week
last wave will be cook city
someone on reddit called them, could also be false though
hope is not lost 🙏
didn't someone talk to the admissions office and apparently decisions will roll out over the week?
dawg i cannot wait for 2 weeks for the decisions, its wayyy too long
But isn’t Purdue on spring break??
My friend just came home from Purdue yesterday
i think they'll still drop a wave
otherwise they're kinda pushing it no?
cus then theyd only have 28th left
and the 31st if they drop then
dubs so we dont have to wait two weeks
yeah that makes sense
it’s probably automated right like
surely
the release of the decision itself
Don’t think you can, it’s only EA
Not certain tho
If you’re referring to the John M honors college then you can’t until after your first year
Ok
If I didn't hear back from Purdue yet am I rejected/waitlisted?
whats purdue prestige like in the us? i got accepted as an intl and wondering if I should full pay somehow ? Do you think it would be worth it
well for engineering/cs it's very well regarded
one of the best programs in the country
ngl bro, get that idea of prestige outta ur head
for engineering and cs its all about what u can do less of where u went
Get the idea of prestige out of your head for one, and for 2 what major are you?
they alr know folks here are smart, so many jobs and shit dont care about that, they wanna know what u bring to the table
^
yea u can brag to folks u got here, but prestige dont exist unless ur business major
chem
yeah, prestige as in how many doors it opens
would you consider it worth it
i mean thats gonna be mainly based on what u do
where ur at
and simply how u present urself
less of the school
science or engineering
applied as science, if I go, I will prolly study eng
anything engineering in purdue is good
its like top 10 in overall engineering
u can still change ur major to chem eng
where u can enjoy the benefits of first year engineering
and its pursuit to break the joy of students in math for somereason
ive been to countless career fairs
well alot of em
and simply saying ur a purdue engineer helps but not that much
it def helps
well thats not 50k a year worth is it
duh
in that case name matters then
this is any american college
simply the name doesnt change prospects, u do
ur work and efforts and connections will make ur prospects
well, i imagine stanford and mit changes prospects quite a lot
but generally I agree
that is simply due to the people
not the school
the people go out and do things to change their prospects
now the school has opportunities
practically every investor is going to give you cash just because u list this as your school
