[brazen kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-lebron-fire-lebron-pregame-lebron-fire-gif-6415202897721076578

[hollow field]

thought everyone was just grinding ecs 24/7

lmao

[brazen kiln]

i didnt think they'd host march madness

[brazen kiln]

ong

[hollow field]

thats what my school be like

half the class has a 4.0 basically

[tawdry notch]

this server is honestly pretty chill all in all compared to what i expected

i thought it was gonna be hella toxic or some shi

[tawdry notch]

the amount of ppl who have a 4.0 UW these days is p crazy

especially with ap spam

grade inflation. is a thing but still

[hollow field]

yeah i heard many schools rank based on unweighted

if mine did that wed have like 100 vals

[tawdry notch]

wisconsi madison and purdue do that

they look at 4.0 and then see the rigorrr

[hollow field]

oh i meant HS class ranks

a lot of colleges do uw yeah

[brazen kiln]

i wish my school did that

im #2 unweighted

and like #6 weighted

💀

[hollow field]

wtf

howd u eve get deferred

[brazen kiln]

3.99 and like 4.7 or something

[hollow field]

this dude cracked

[brazen kiln]

nah bru my sat was kinda ahh and then my ecs were mid

[hollow field]

top ranks at my school is 5.98 weighted

[brazen kiln]

what's that on a 5 scale

[hollow field]

which is 99.8 average in all ap/honors

[brazen kiln]

like 4.9?

[hollow field]

theyre way too sweaty

[brazen kiln]

oh hell nah

[hollow field]

so like every class bar 2-3 they finish with 100

for the year

[brazen kiln]

the val at my school has like 3.99 and 4.75

[brazen kiln]

holy sweat

id hate to be in ur school

r u in cal?

[hollow field]

nah TX

[brazen kiln]

[hollow field]

we send like 100+ to ut austin but this year we got 4 MIt and like 5+ to ivies

[brazen kiln]

damnnn

[noble canopy]

4 mit is insane wtf

[brazen kiln]

nah fr

bro my school sent more players to the nba than to ivies 💀

[eager kelp]

Waqit

@pliant garnet

Isn't purdues rescind policy like

[restive current]

[brazen kiln]

yea bro one guy plays for the grizzlies rn 💀

i think hes acc decent

i used to see him the hallways bro was 6'9

💀

[pliant garnet]

lmfao yeah

dw bout purdue rescinsion

esp this year

[eager kelp]

aight bet lmao

[eager kelp]

why this year in particular?

[obsidian glacier]

they underenrolled right

[eager kelp]

well yeah

[obsidian glacier]

so they have no intention to like be harsh on rescinsion

smthin like that

[pliant garnet]

yea

[eager kelp]

oh true true

[karmic parcel]

wsg purdue

[nova copper]

Is purdue CS and DS program prestigious
Why I feel like they admit a lot

[obsidian glacier]

im guessing so

cs yeah

ds idk

[pliant garnet]

yeah

acceptance rate != prestige

and this year im sure it def dipped below 20% fs

[ebon cipher]

I doubt a wave today unfortunately 😔

[fringe gyro]

portal didn't update?

[noble canopy]

nope it didnt yet

for me at least

[fringe gyro]

maybe its done an hr before it releases or smthing

this cant be pushed to next Friday nooo 😦

[ebon cipher]

It’s been so longggg

[fringe gyro]

this is actually delaying my commitment to another uni lol

its alright ig, one more week : (

[ebon cipher]

What’s the other uni?

[fringe gyro]

umn

I heard the housing is competitive and its been open since Nov

so I just want a decision so I can be sure and sort this out

[ebon cipher]

Ah fair

To be fair it’s only one more week of waiting for almost all seniors

[fringe gyro]

yeahh

is purdue not releasing today cuz of spring break ?

or should we wait till someones portal updates

maybe it does it a hour or two before it releases

[ebon cipher]

Don’t expect anything

[nova copper]

Whats ur major
Did u get the scholarship

[fringe gyro]

undecided but I plan to major in biochem/chem

[unreal marsh]

the portal updated yesterday

[fringe gyro]

oh really?

[unreal marsh]

yes atleast for rd

[fringe gyro]

oh wait that black new thing is not

indication

[unreal marsh]

oh idk I think it's coming out today tho

[fringe gyro]

I still havent heard abt UMN scholarship

I applied EA2 with 1540 sat

[fringe gyro]

what major?

[nova copper]

Data sci

[fringe gyro]

oh is that in college of science and engineering?

[nova copper]

Yeah

[fringe gyro]

on the portal u can always inquire about it

there is an option to ask about the scholarships specifically

some scholarships are still rolling out

[restive current]

me asw

applied ea2 with 1560

[nova copper]

Yess

I know some with lower scores get them

But I think I may commit Purdue

It only takes one

[restive current]

[nova copper]

Yep

[restive current]

or still waiting

yeah go purdue

[nova copper]

U still waitin

[ebon cipher]

And status changed

[wide scroll]

what status change 💀

[ebon cipher]

Like from decided to complete

[wide scroll]

that will be today i suppose due to purdue dropping every friday

[fringe gyro]

mine looks the exact same but I am RD

[noble canopy]

did your application status change?

[ebon cipher]

On portal

[wide scroll]

nup

[ebon cipher]

Then you’re not getting a decision I believe

Not this Friday at least

[wide scroll]

sed

[restive current]

bro it happens

like every hr

[wide scroll]

what happens every hour

[proper stone]

what

[restive current]

they update peoples portals like every hr

so just wait for a few hours and see if u get it

otherwise u arent getting a decision today

[noble canopy]

fuck you purdue if yall dont release the decisions today

[ebon cipher]

Just if your portal updates by 3 pm EST

[fringe gyro]

there is no way of knowing for rd ppl except for waiting for the email

[fringe gyro]

or refreshing ur portal like a clown around 5 pm est

[noble canopy]

yo @proper stone can ya upload an image of your application portal?

or send it in the dms or somethin

[proper stone]

yeah ill dm it to you

[noble canopy]

aight cool

[proper stone]

i dont know why but i cant send images in this server

wtf

[fringe gyro]

u need perms for that

[proper stone]

ou okay

sorry

[fringe gyro]

I think ur new to the server thats why

[proper stone]

yeah

[fringe gyro]

what major did u apply for?

[proper stone]

biomedical engineering

[brazen kiln]

scamaro let us know how ur decision goes

[noble canopy]

yo @brazen kiln did your portal update yet?

[brazen kiln]

nah

still see this dumb loci box 😐

[noble canopy]

yeahh, ts sucks

[brazen kiln]

i js want this decision bro idc if i get rejected atp

[noble canopy]

istfg lemme move on in life

i literally havent done shit for the last 2 weeks in anticipation lmao

[brazen kiln]

i don't have school today so im literally sitting here waiting for my 2 decisions and the gym 🔥🔥

don't even have hw

[noble canopy]

dawg i got exams and shi comin up

i still have to complete the jane street amp assignment

and im refreshing the portal like a madman

[fringe gyro]

we all are on the same boat fr

[brazen kiln]

surely atleast one of us gets a decision back today

[noble canopy]

when did yall submit the loci?

[fringe gyro]

see around 5 pm est

[noble canopy]

didnt someone on reddit say 2 pm>

thats apparantly when it came last week

[brazen kiln]

[fringe gyro]

last time the waves started after 5 pm est only

[brazen kiln]

2 pm pt?

[noble canopy]

hmm, i submitted on feb 22 (insanely late, i know)

[fringe gyro]

yeah

[brazen kiln]

it started 5pm et 4pm cst

[brazen kiln]

nah i think ur fine

[noble canopy]

ahh that makes sense

[brazen kiln]

bro what if they're js edging all deferrals until last wave even if it's an accept

[fringe gyro]

wasnt the loci deadline 3rd Feb..not too sure

[brazen kiln]

or is that copium

[noble canopy]

that was for changing the location ig

[brazen kiln]

nah that was only for transfer to diff campus

[fringe gyro]

oh okay

[noble canopy]

lowkey that'd be funny ngl

[brazen kiln]

all this crashing out

[noble canopy]

i'm sure that one evil purdue ao is lurking in the discord, laughing at us goin insane

[fringe gyro]

should I just expect a rejection if I am not getting anything today

[nova copper]

So how much do u guys ll pay for purdue if study there

[noble canopy]

ngl i wont consider purdue if its above 45k per year

[brazen kiln]

i'm just expecting a rejection overall

[fringe gyro]

I think oos and intl hv very similar tuition

[nova copper]

About 50K?

[brazen kiln]

nah intl is like 10 bands more

oos is like 45k ish 52k for intl iirc

[fringe gyro]

lemme see

[noble canopy]

is that only tuition or tuition + dorms and stuff?

[nova copper]

Do u guys know any ways to bring down the cost

[brazen kiln]

total cost

[noble canopy]

hmm thats cool

[nova copper]

Thats total

[brazen kiln]

scholarships

[fringe gyro]

purdue would be one of the cheapest options for me if I get in

[brazen kiln]

work on the campus

[nova copper]

Im intl

[fringe gyro]

thats why I am still waiting

[brazen kiln]

ong

[fringe gyro]

otherwise I am not too keen

[brazen kiln]

for me too

purdue is so worth bro for the price

[fringe gyro]

for me the SUNYs are even cheaper but I dont like them

[noble canopy]

my only prob with purdue is its in the middle of bumfuck nowhere

[nova copper]

Do u guys apply to schools in florida

[fringe gyro]

idk I hv heard they arent well funded with research and all...tho I dont know how much of it is true

[nova copper]

Theyre affordable

[fringe gyro]

but yeah

[brazen kiln]

same but i can't even pick and choose atp my only options rn r uci and my state flag

and uci is a whole paycheck and my state flag is ahh

[fringe gyro]

extremely hard to get into...the public ones at least

[noble canopy]

yeah uci is pretty expensive

[nova copper]

Usf is kinda easy

30K

[brazen kiln]

no scholarship either 😐😐

[noble canopy]

damnn

[fringe gyro]

I only know about uf and fsu

[noble canopy]

i got into UDub but its fuckin 60k a year

[fringe gyro]

bro u got into udub

omg

[noble canopy]

i gotta donate both my kidneys and testicles to attend it

[fringe gyro]

hey but werent u aware about the coa

[noble canopy]

ehh it wasn't for cs, udub is pretty chill for engineering ig

[fringe gyro]

when u applied

[noble canopy]

i was, and i low-key didnt wanna apply

it was a last minute impulse application ngl

[fringe gyro]

I see

[nova copper]

Aside the cost, what attracts u guys to apply for Purdue

[noble canopy]

the opportunities defo

also the community is pretty widespread

[fringe gyro]

stem research

[fringe gyro]

yeah pretty cool alumni network

[noble canopy]

i live in india and a lotta people in the industry are unaware of georgia tech and uiuc and stuff, but know about purdue

[fringe gyro]

I attended one of their virtual sessions way back and I was kinda impressed with a lot of stuff

[nova copper]

Ah

[fringe gyro]

and what they had to offer

[nova copper]

Im kinda 90% commit purdue

[fringe gyro]

uiuc and gtech is garnering a lot of popularity in India tho ngl

[nova copper]

Yeah in Vietnam too

[fringe gyro]

why not 100%

[hardy spear]

Bro

Did anyone’s portal change?

[nova copper]

Im waiting for my RD and UMN scholarship

[brazen kiln]

gtech lowk hella close to me bro itd be a dream if i got gtech

[nova copper]

No hope fr

[brazen kiln]

i got deferred from both my top choices

[fringe gyro]

only one persons

[brazen kiln]

💀

[fringe gyro]

gtech defer is rare

damn

[brazen kiln]

either we're all cooked or they're also rolling out the thing too

[brazen kiln]

giving me hope fr

[fringe gyro]

I still think there will be some acceptances in the last wave🤡

cuz if they had to reject me they could hv done it in the first wave

[brazen kiln]

how do i js transport myself to 5 pm

[fringe gyro]

they did it for some ppl

[brazen kiln]

i dont even have shit to do

[fringe gyro]

same

[brazen kiln]

highkey i would hate to get a wl after all this waiting

[fringe gyro]

roster is clear

[fringe gyro]

I got waitlisted from madison

I gave up

I would rather get rejected tbh

[hardy spear]

Sadly if portal doesn’t change we won’t be getting a decision today 😦

[brazen kiln]

sb said portal will chanfe every hour or sum

[hardy spear]

Oh shi

Really!

[hardy spear]

Source plz 😭

[brazen kiln]

scroll up its from azerty

[brazen kiln]

.

here i gotchu

[restive current]

idk if it's every hr or so i just know they dont change everyones at the same time

they do it in batches

[noble canopy]

damnn i got deferred from gatech and purdue too, if i get gatech it'd be insaneeee

[brazen kiln]

wtf wer'e in the same boat

[restive current]

nah i've seen some deferrals get in

[brazen kiln]

what mojr

major

[brazen kiln]

some

[noble canopy]

lmao yeh

[brazen kiln]

whats ur major

[noble canopy]

i'm applying for compE

or EE

[brazen kiln]

ph damn

im cs

[noble canopy]

lmao im not sure one of those two

my dumbass put down cs as second choice lmaoo

[brazen kiln]

i put compe as second 💀

does gt even consider u for second choice

i shouldv'e put data science second choice

[noble canopy]

for gt i believe i did compE as first choice and ee as second

nah dude data science is pretty saturated

there was discourse regarding shrinking the data science major in uc berkeley because apparantly everyone and their mother chooses it

[proper stone]

okay

[fringe gyro]

ahh gl

[ebon cipher]

You might be the only person who’s portal has changed that I’ve seen today

[proper stone]

shi that’s a lot of pressure

i really hope to get in

[nova copper]

LOL s.o joined the Purdue Uni discord and pm me to invite me to become sugar baby

[ripe island]

💀

ill take him up on his offer

[fringe gyro]

huh what

😭

[ebon cipher]

What are your stats

[blissful shoal]

Cs 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[ebon cipher]

I’m engineering it ain’t much better for me

[frail narwhal]

ok guys

pls

it’s not that deep

i had a less than 1400 SAT and made it to FYE WL

you’ll be fine

i promise you

[restive current]

errybody makes it to fye wl

😭

[ebon cipher]

Bro I’m cooked 3.83 and 35 deferred

[frail narwhal]

idk the enginnering majors were tweaking abt it earlier

[frail narwhal]

don’t u have preference

[restive current]

they waitlist everyone after rd

[frail narwhal]

☹️☹️

[ebon cipher]

Wdym?

[frail narwhal]

EA has preference

[ebon cipher]

Oh idk

[frail narwhal]

compared to RD

or smthing

[ebon cipher]

Im not getting in

[frail narwhal]

IM SURE YOULL BE FINE

[restive current]

damn im shocked

[frail narwhal]

ur stats seem much better than mine but i did FYE

[ebon cipher]

I haven’t gotten in anywhere, I’m pretty sure there’s something wrong with my app

Same I’m first year engineering

[frail narwhal]

oh you’ll be fine LOL

[fringe gyro]

everyone is fye I think

[ebon cipher]

Anywhere good*

[restive current]

i think one of ur teachers was an opp or something

[frail narwhal]

trust me

[ebon cipher]

All of them liked me so I doubt it was that

[frail narwhal]

youll do good

just don’t overthink it

[ebon cipher]

I think it was my essays

[restive current]

ive had 4 teachers ever that have liked me ngl

[frail narwhal]

my purdue essay was so ass

i talked abt taking the train to school and then becoming a boilermaker bc train mascot yk..

😔😔😔

[ebon cipher]

Mine was just so basic

[fringe gyro]

thats creative take

[frail narwhal]

it’s ok

as long as you show them your love

[frail narwhal]

NO LOL

next stop boilers!!

was literally the sum up of my last sentence

[fringe gyro]

how do I show them my love

spam call

[frail narwhal]

why us

i didn’t do much for them

i applied for funsies

[fringe gyro]

🥲

[carmine otter]

is purdue cs more competitive than fye?

[frail narwhal]

also bc my friend is doing research there

[frail narwhal]

probably

[restive current]

yea

[carmine otter]

gotcha

[fringe gyro]

its on their website

[frail narwhal]

guys

my tip is

forget abt it

you’ll end up somewhere good

you did ur best

[restive current]

nah

[fringe gyro]

I would but this is one of the last decisions left and I am set on a school but purdue is stopping me

I just need a decision

thats all

[frail narwhal]

oh

nah that’s understandable

i have 14 more

so i’m kinda just chilling

[fringe gyro]

oh damn

all ivies?

or lacs

[frail narwhal]

hell no

[restive current]

i would have better stats if i wasnt a lazy fuck ngl

[frail narwhal]

i did 3 ivys

[fringe gyro]

still more than me (0)

[frail narwhal]

i did 2 bc of my parents

and one bc i toured it

and it didn’t seem miserable

[fringe gyro]

I feel like it isnt even a stats game

[frail narwhal]

it kinda is

at least for uiuc

[restive current]

nah publics r all stats

[frail narwhal]

no

💀💀

i would’ve not gotten in if it was stats

[fringe gyro]

yeah so it isnt all about stats

then

[restive current]

nobody getting rejected to top publics 4.0 1600 i they have something in the ec section

just dont write some abysmal shit and do something outside of school

[hardy spear]

Am I getting waitlisted? 😢

[frail narwhal]

my friend w a 1550 & 4.0 gpa got deferred EA from purdue

and he had good ecs

it’s not all stats

[restive current]

bro thats just rng these ppl always get atleast one goated W

[frail narwhal]

and he goes to a top school

[frail narwhal]

he got waitlisted from michigan

[proper stone]

i had a 3.9 uw, ranking 2, pretty good ecs, and great lor. I didn’t submit test scores because i am international and had a problem with the sat center in my country

[noble canopy]

its defo not all stats

[frail narwhal]

and other public’s

overall

it’s not just stats

[noble canopy]

i got rejected from uiuc but deferred from gatech

[frail narwhal]

OH YEA HE FOT SEFERRED FROM GA TOO

got into uiuc tho

[noble canopy]

yeahh the essays defo hold more value than what we perceive

[frail narwhal]

his essays were also rlly good

😭😭

[proper stone]

yeah

[noble canopy]

although i'm ngl i asked for a lotta aid from uiuc

[fringe gyro]

they give aid to intl?

[proper stone]

nah

[restive current]

ok so what i said was right

what is your point exactly

💀

[frail narwhal]

what..

he had the stats

[restive current]

.

[frail narwhal]

and got deferred everywhere but one

[frail narwhal]

ur point before was literally stat based

it’s not

like yeah it’s a huge W

[restive current]

if u have perfect stats and the rest of ur app is decent

then you'll get atleast one goated W

that is pretty much guaranteed

[frail narwhal]

i could literally scroll through social media and find you people who prove that wrong

also define decent

[restive current]

idk like essay written day before and u read some cc exemplars

[frail narwhal]

😭😭

that’s not decent?

i think you need more time to develop a good essay & not just read smthing for inspiration

[restive current]

bro nobody seriously grinds on essays for publics

😭

u cant tell me ts seriously

unless it's for t20s

[proper stone]

do yall think letters of recommendations are important?

[frail narwhal]

yeah

[frail narwhal]

public’s like michigan they do what

😭😭

or the ucs

maybe not purdue

[restive current]

my goated friends just have an essay bank they write once and adapt to fit each school

lol

[frail narwhal]

idk feel like each why us should be specific to the school

why major makes sense tho

[restive current]

bro just talk about some lab at each school and change the name and professor

[frail narwhal]

and diversity/community says

[frail narwhal]

💀💀

this is why that isn’t effective anymore

[restive current]

u cant rly go that deep bro

😭

[frail narwhal]

u can.. most of these schools have tons of clubs and orgs they work with

that’s unique to them

[restive current]

every school has the same clubs

fsae rocketry dbf etc

[frail narwhal]

name me schools with a fire arts club

[restive current]

u r ngmi if ur talking about arts club as an engineer

[frail narwhal]

💀💀

it’s in a enginnering only school bro

[restive current]

please fr do that

at worst it'll be like texas a&m which is still very good for engineering

if they didnt get anywhere it's because they just solely applied t20s

[frail narwhal]

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

your belief, stats won’t suffice for everything

[restive current]

u can write a shit essay for a public and get cooked yeah

but once you meet a certain standard they dont care

[ebon cipher]

Man I’m currently at a UIUC deferral to rejection, GA Tech rejection, Purdue deferral, and UMich deferral

I’m cooked 💀

[restive current]

it definitely wont make up for stats

[frail narwhal]

a test score doesn’t define you completely, either way

[ebon cipher]

Well it’s “holistic”

[restive current]

when did i say test score

[ebon cipher]

For publics I’d lean towards it not being like that

[frail narwhal]

ur main points were gpa & test scores

[restive current]

if it was based on test scores id be at mit rn they care about grades more

[frail narwhal]

each school is different gpa wise 😭

they recalculate

[hardy spear]

Bro I’m cooked

[frail narwhal]

and some won’t; some do weighted only or unweighted

[hardy spear]

Someone help me 😔

[frail narwhal]

some don’t do ranks

[frail narwhal]

nah purdue wants u bro

[hardy spear]

I didn’t get into any good schools for engineering besides Virginia tech and Rutgers and Minnesota twin cities

[restive current]

just go to vt

[hardy spear]

But all of those are too expensive for me

[restive current]

it isnt that bad

oh

[hardy spear]

Yeah but money :((

[frail narwhal]

one school won’t define the others

[hardy spear]

I don’t even care about the school atp

Cost is too high for all since it’s out of state 😦

[proper stone]

same vt is way too expensive for me

[hardy spear]

My in state school sucks asw

UIC

Not UIUC

UIC is 41k in state for me

[ebon cipher]

Idk if I should go to OSU or UMD

[hardy spear]

I’m cooked

[frail narwhal]

umd

i think

[hardy spear]

Probably cc for me

[frail narwhal]

depends on price

[ebon cipher]

In state OSU tho

Like I can pay anything

But

I’d rather save money if not Purdue

[hardy spear]

If no Purdue I go to cc

😢

[proper stone]

If no purdue i go to asu

[restive current]

damn

what happened

[proper stone]

yeah i cant afford the other colleges i got into

[restive current]

where

isnt asu expensive

are u instate

[proper stone]

i am international, but got a good scholarship

[fringe gyro]

no vtech?

[fringe gyro]

oh how much if u dont mind me asking

[proper stone]

virginia tech, penn state main campus, osu, pitt, syracuse

[proper stone]

16.5k

[restive current]

damn

[fringe gyro]

I see

[restive current]

did u miss the deadline for osu and pitt

[fringe gyro]

ur getting into purdue

[proper stone]

i got 5k for pitt, but thats not close to enough

and osu doesnt give much scholarships for internationals

[proper stone]

lets hope

[restive current]

im ngmi my portal didnt update

[mortal forge]

is purdue coming tonight?

[fringe gyro]

for some yeah

I believe in 4 or 5 hrs

[noble canopy]

yeahhh my portal didnt update too

did it update for any other deferred applicants? i low-key think they wont release it tonight

[fringe gyro]

check out the rd thread on a2c reddit

it did for a few

[ebon cipher]

WOAH BOMBSHELL

For Purdue

[frozen moss]

nope mine still says "decided" 😔

[ebon cipher]

Do we think all RD applicants and a couple EA deferred get decisions today?

And then the rest of ea deferred next week)

[brazen kiln]

what a bad day to be deferred

[noble canopy]

i am just gonna assume i got rejected if i dont get the decisions today

i dont think theyll release 3 waves of acceptances lol

[blissful shoal]

Waitlist??

[restive current]

they never reject ppl they just put u on the waitlist which has like 1% ar

[restive current]

bro ong dont rely on ppl calling the office for anything

😭

[ebon cipher]

There’s still some acceptances during the last wave

[restive current]

like ive heard 5 different answers the office is trolling hard

[ebon cipher]

You should obviously make plans to go elsewhere but always keep an open mind until you can’t

[nova copper]

just curious are there any rich kids at purdue 💀

[fringe gyro]

idk there must be

why tho

[ebon cipher]

Like compared to other schools? Or just like in general

[nova copper]

do rich ppl have to grind those engineering and cs stuff

[noble canopy]

of course there are bruh

[nova copper]

in general i think

[fringe gyro]

😭

[ebon cipher]

There’s rich kids at every school but state schools usually have much less

[fringe gyro]

do u think they get special treatment or smthing

[tawdry notch]

Have you seen Dartmouth students median income

It’s kinda crazy

[restive current]

australian unis r cooked

the chinese internationals there are crazy

they dont even speak english

😭

[tawdry notch]

💀

[fringe gyro]

thats crazy

[restive current]

they have a translator in the class

sometimes

[hollow field]

Everyone getting in

[fringe gyro]

my friend who got in last friday

[hollow field]

Trust

[fringe gyro]

they are there for the vibes

his portal still said “decided”

[nova copper]

nah i think they also take the hard exam at purdue lol

[restive current]

until when

damn

[fringe gyro]

changed to complete like only 5 mins before the decision

i was there with him refreshing

[restive current]

r u sure he didnt just miss it changing

[frozen moss]

ohh damn okay

[restive current]

oh

nvm

[fringe gyro]

no no we were like

[frozen moss]

i was a little worried thanks for that!

[mortal forge]

oh wht tim

[fringe gyro]

sitting there spamming it

[mortal forge]

PURDUE PLSSSSSSSSSSS

[nova copper]

my chinese brother's friend in canada skipped their teamwork to buy bags for his gf

[fringe gyro]

5 pm est

[noble canopy]

lmfao goals

[mortal forge]

2:30 am for me

rah

[fringe gyro]

bro nyu has tons of ppl like this

[noble canopy]

no don't give me hope

[mortal forge]

essentially today i decide whether i got to udub or purdue

[noble canopy]

dawg its at 3.30 am

[mortal forge]

huh?

ur in IST asw

[ebon cipher]

Wait really????

[noble canopy]

ayyy in the same position

[ebon cipher]

Okay so

Check at 5

[noble canopy]

yeahh

[restive current]

thi

s

@ebon cipher did you apply to osu honors/scholars

btw

[ripe island]

wowow

it might be joever

[noble canopy]

nvm im fuckin stupid then

[brazen kiln]

4.0 deferred 💀 but my sat mid asf so it checks out

my thing still didnt change ill js wait for next week

[tawdry notch]

I think if you have straight As is a huge help for Purdue

Since Purdue looks at unweighted

And then looks at your course rigor

They don’t care about your weighted

[hardy spear]

Yeah then idk how I got deferred

My school doesn’t even do unweighted but it’s prolly cooked gpa for me

[tawdry notch]

What’s your course rigor like

[hardy spear]

If they only look at unweighted

[hardy spear]

I’d say decently heavy

[tawdry notch]

Oh wow

So like 15 something aps

[hardy spear]

Which is unweighted

[tawdry notch]

By end of senior?

Oh that’s a decent number, what’s your uw like?

[hardy spear]

So decent

[tawdry notch]

Oh

[hardy spear]

Kinda cooked

[tawdry notch]

Yeah if you’re doing engineering with 3.6 is tougher

[hardy spear]

Yea sad 😔

[tawdry notch]

Like I did CS with 4.0 and 10 aps

[hardy spear]

I honestly gave up hope

[hardy spear]

Damn nice

[tawdry notch]

And ik a lot of folks who have either 4.0 or near 4.0 applying for engineering at Purdue

[hardy spear]

Hopefully second choice then 🙏

I need that at least

[tawdry notch]

What are you applying for

[hardy spear]

Exploratory studies

[tawdry notch]

Oh

Yeah I think you’re fine

You got this

[hardy spear]

I hope 😞

[tawdry notch]

If it’s FYE or CS it’s kinda hard

But

If not there’s a decently good chance

[hardy spear]

I hope so man

Purdue is the only good school left for me 😦

[mortal forge]

i applied cs😭😭

[tawdry notch]

🔥

[mortal forge]

wait not ds

[tawdry notch]

Ouch

Cs cooked

I regret applying to cs related at USC

If I didn’t do computational gaming

I prolly could get in

[mortal forge]

i applied ds

mb

[mortal forge]

dont u have udub asw

[tawdry notch]

O that’s much better

Than cs

💀

[hardy spear]

No? 💀 I never even applied there 😭

I should have but it would be rly expensive even if I got in

So blessing in disguise?

[hardy spear]

Bro I got vtech, osu, Rutgers, and Minnesota

[mortal forge]

idk i have a HL math 6

[hardy spear]

None that are good or cost effective

[mortal forge]

all solid schools except rutty

[tawdry notch]

What’s wrong with Rutgers

[hardy spear]

All 45k or higher in cost :((

[tawdry notch]

I didn’t get into vtech

I also got rejected from uva

[hardy spear]

Nah that’s a good thing

[tawdry notch]

But I bagged the other good ones

[tawdry notch]

Lol how

[hardy spear]

Vtech is not allat bro

[tawdry notch]

Ik

[hardy spear]

I’d rather have other schools :((

That are cheaper bro 😭

[tawdry notch]

Ppl say yield but I don’t think so

JHU please tosayy

JHU please

[hardy spear]

They’re not talking me bro

I applied there but I know they aren’t lmao

[mortal forge]

JHU is harddd

my school got 2 ED1

[hardy spear]

Yes 4.5 rd acceptance rate or smth

[mortal forge]

idt anyone else will get

[restive current]

bro im ngl

i think rutgers is rly good instate but a lot of chopped oos/intls get in

like they just want money

[hardy spear]

So me 💀

[tawdry notch]

i got into uiuc (CS&Math), austin (Informatics), unc, purdue, wisconsin, and uf, unmarkked is pure cs

but i applied to JHU for behavioral biology

[restive current]

u got deferred purdue

[hardy spear]

Give me UIUC :((

[mortal forge]

JESUS

[restive current]

like the chopped out of states that get into rutgers wouldnt get that far

[hardy spear]

I’m instate

[tawdry notch]

i have research relating to the movement of fishes, literally behavioral biology, togethr with a professor

[hardy spear]

But so did everyone bro 😭

[tawdry notch]

so theres a chance

🙏 please jhu

my research isnt as stacked as some folks

[restive current]

no they rejected quite a few ppl ea this year

rutgers has some rly good programs tho

[hardy spear]

Damn rly?

[tawdry notch]

i have a friend whos USACO Plat

and didnt get into purdue or wisconsin madison

for CS

💀

[restive current]

i bet bro got uiuc

[tawdry notch]

he didnt either

rejected georgia tech

middle 3 ucs too (oh he got irvine tho)

he only got into austin

college apps this year bruh, especialy for cs, hella fried

[hardy spear]

Didn’t get into UIUC in state engineering 😔

[mortal forge]

AH YES ONLY AUSTIN😭😭😭

[tawdry notch]

i purposefully didnt do pure CS for UIUC

cuz its cooked

2% chance

might as wel apply to mit or smthing

[rain grove]

When does todays round come out

[tawdry notch]

😭 didnt mean it like that, just stressing the only amount of schools he got into

hes happy with ausatin and we're all happy for him

all it takes is one school

[mortal forge]

same w a friend of mine

[tawdry notch]

:>

[mortal forge]

only austin

stern waitlist

finance applicant

he was on indian economics olympiad team😭😭😭🙏🙏🤣

[tawdry notch]

bruhh WTF 😭

thats crazyyy

i would probably choose austin maybe if it was easier to transfer or double maojr

if i can guarantee a double major in a solid engineering spot

or smthing

i wanted to do UIUC at first...but math
ill probably go to UNC for premed

if JHU 🙏 {PLEASE

[restive current]

im the only one that got cooked everywhere ngl

[tawdry notch]

🫂

[restive current]

like of uw madison purdue uiuc gt umich ut austin everyone gets atleast one

[tawdry notch]

my condolences brother
waiting on anything else?

[restive current]

nc state

[tawdry notch]

ah

[restive current]

i shouldve applied tamu and vt ngl i was too lazy i didnt want to write those essays

[tawdry notch]

i didnt get into vt

[restive current]

damn

cs?

[tawdry notch]

yep

i wish i didnt have to apply with cs

[restive current]

waitlist?

ive seen a lot of ppl getting waitlisted for cs

[tawdry notch]

its just my app is accidentally so cs oriented

[tawdry notch]

yea

are you from NC? @restive current

[restive current]

no

intl

[visual ermine]

shi mine still says decided

they making deferrals wait on purpose

[restive current]

someone said his friend's app only updated to complete 5 mins before

[visual ermine]

oh

We'll see

[restive current]

so idk

[tawdry notch]

ahh

intl

thats mega cooked

unless you applied to davis

they accepted so many intl

[restive current]

that isnt mega cooked

[tawdry notch]

okay not mega cooked mb

[restive current]

bro icl ur only cooked if ur applying for aid

as an intl

[tawdry notch]

just cooked

[restive current]

or ut austin

[tawdry notch]

aid 😭 yeah

[nova copper]

intl with aid, im cooked

[tawdry notch]

i didnt choose aid on purpose

[restive current]

otherwise it's basically just out of state difficulty everywhere

[tawdry notch]

Actually for some schools intl is better than oos

[restive current]

yeah

[tawdry notch]

Because they get more money

[restive current]

uiuc

has a higher ar for intl cs than oos

by like 1%

but still

[tawdry notch]

60k for my education

Ts pmo

[brazen kiln]

bro the only decent school i have rn is uci

💀

76k

i am not paying that bullshit amount

might as well employ myself with 76k

[tawdry notch]

I didn’t get into any Uc above Santa Cruz

[somber pumice]

can u appeal purdue?

[fringe gyro]

thats crazy considering the difference for oos and intl tuition is not much, its around 3 to 4k difference

[restive current]

yea

[brazen kiln]

ucs overrated anyway

[tawdry notch]

I’m going oos anyways :P

[somber pumice]

76k bro thats private school tuition for a state school 😭

[fringe gyro]

do i pay 65k for uiuc engineering or go to university of tennessee for 26k a year

thoughts

[somber pumice]

prob uiuc

[fringe gyro]

uiuc

[somber pumice]

u can make ur ROI pretty easily

[eager kelp]

Purdue

[fringe gyro]

makes sense

MAYBE OF THEYD

LET ME IN

i would totally go

purdue is so much cheaper

[brazen kiln]

its prolly more considering all the plane tickets and random ahh expenses

prolly like 85k

[brazen kiln]

uiuc def

[somber pumice]

true

bro a simple boba drink in LA is like 9 bucks 😭

[eager kelp]

That would be fire highkey

[fringe gyro]

holy fuck really

[fringe gyro]

yes it would

[somber pumice]

yea bro and on top of that they want tip

[eager kelp]

It could be you I and Shep at Purdue

[fringe gyro]

i’ll go there if i don’t get into purdue 🙏

[eager kelp]

Fire

[rustic adder]

Purdue deferral decision today?

[somber pumice]

tho LAX does have cheap airline tickets if u book with spirit or somethign

[fringe gyro]

I hate those tip screens

[eager kelp]

Possibly

[fringe gyro]

for people who don’t need tips

corporations trying to pay their workers less

[brazen kiln]

if your loci box went away

[fringe gyro]

that would be crazy

[eager kelp]

Fr

It would be awesome

[fringe gyro]

my loci box is still there

are we cooked

[brazen kiln]

y r they edging deferrals harder than rd

aren't deferrals supposed to be priority

[fringe gyro]

maybe it’s like

[brazen kiln]

thought rd would be the last wave ngl

[fringe gyro]

there are super good rd applicants

[brazen kiln]

and deferrals first wave

[brazen kiln]

fair point

[fringe gyro]

maybe they just wanna make us feel like shit
