Purdue University (2024-2025)

[fiery goblet]

Youre lynig

What

[noble canopy]

nahh they do care about 11th bruh

[restive current]

only america looks at all 4 years

[fiery goblet]

11th is ok k

[restive current]

im being fr

[fiery goblet]

my last 2 years are fine

[fringe gyro]

nah UK unis look at 10th board results and 12th grade predicted

[fiery goblet]

first 2

are

fucked

[fiery goblet]

yup.

[restive current]

they look at 10th boards?

[fringe gyro]

yes they do

[fiery goblet]

ultimately im chopped

[restive current]

they dont do that for ib

[fiery goblet]

i was in cbse for 10th grade

cbse is indias national board or wtv

but now im in ib

[restive current]

yeah i know

[fringe gyro]

wait u hv ibcp tho right

[restive current]

bro get like a 45 or something

[fiery goblet]

yah

[restive current]

do u have any extenuating circumstances

[fringe gyro]

so no tok and ee?

[fiery goblet]

that is still IB

[restive current]

to explain what happened in 10th

[fiery goblet]

no but instead of EE we have RP which is very similar

[noble canopy]

dude otherwise maybe take a bunch of APs and try to show you're proficient in those subjects?

[fiery goblet]

RP is like EE + TOK

in one

[restive current]

bro ong switch to dp

[fiery goblet]

is it not too late for that

[fiery goblet]

i cant

[restive current]

u have like 3 months till ur mocks no

y did u do ibcp

[fiery goblet]

ill have to restart 11th grade then

[noble canopy]

oh are you gonna start your senior year now?

[fiery goblet]

School didnt offer DP

[fiery goblet]

eyah

[restive current]

o

[fiery goblet]

in 1 week

[noble canopy]

ohh i see

yeah the registrations are prolly closed

[fiery goblet]

yup

[restive current]

what major

[fringe gyro]

not rlly, u aren't officially registered until december

[restive current]

i got registered last month

[noble canopy]

yeah but the exams happen in april-may right?

[fiery goblet]

no, in 9th grade i lost around 3 months bc of covid (didnt get covid myself tho)
and in 10th grade i didnt have any extreme circumstance like that, but i was learning video editing and CS then which led me to now get paid internships and stuff

[noble canopy]

dont the registrations close in dec?

[fiery goblet]

i wont go for APs

[restive current]

yeah ok that doesnt count

[fiery goblet]

yup

[restive current]

u need to get like 45 or smth

if u want uiuc/purdue level

[fiery goblet]

cant a good SAT score compensate if i get a slightly lower score

[noble canopy]

what major are you gonna pursue?

[fiery goblet]

like if i get like 1540-1550

[radiant echo]

u ideally need both 😭

bro dont worry about 10th

[fiery goblet]

cs.....
|| 😔 🔫 ||

[restive current]

my grades arent that chopped and i got cooked with a 1560

[radiant echo]

just try 45 ib and 1550+

[fiery goblet]

yeah

alr

[noble canopy]

a good sat score cannot compensate for 2 bad school grades

[fiery goblet]

fair.

[restive current]

i have like a 38 ib and ive been taking Ls

[fringe gyro]

in this day and age SAT doesn't matter II am being so fr...its course rigour and ECs that set you apart

[noble canopy]

fax

anything above a 1500 for cs legit dont matter

[fringe gyro]

I am telling u scoring 1500+ has become too easy

for majority of the ppl

[fiery goblet]

i have good ECs

[noble canopy]

you could prolly get asu if you have good ecs

[restive current]

tbh 1550+ still puts u firmly ahead of most ppl but it wont suffice on its own

[restive current]

bro dont say that 😭

[radiant echo]

bro dont get so paranoid 😭

[restive current]

also asu is autoadmit

they dgaf

[noble canopy]

nahh im being fr dawg ASU aint that bad

they have a sexy campus ngl

[radiant echo]

if you get 1500+, 43+ ib and maintain ecs you have a shot at purdue

(assuming lors ecs are in check too)

[fiery goblet]

alright

[radiant echo]

but u cant mess up in 11th

[fiery goblet]

i wont

[radiant echo]

idk what you've done till now

[restive current]

if u have 1550+ and 42+ ib then u will almost certainly get a W at a top public

not talking about ur case

just in general

idk about ur case honestly maybe theyll care about ur ib grades more

what happened in 10th bruh y did u fall asleep

😭

were u sick or smn

@fiery goblet

[fiery goblet]

no dawg i lowkey js dgaf about school

didnt*

not dont

i was trying to focus on other skills

such as

video editing

cs

an stuff

[restive current]

the thing is most ppl applying

have 95

in 10th

low 10th and high 11th looks like grade inflation but u switched to ib after 10th

so maybe they'll be more generous

[fiery goblet]

the biggest issue is that my board forced me to take shitty humanities subjects

if i only had math phy chem and CS in 10th grade id have easily gotten a much MUCH higher score

[restive current]

did u get like 50% in sst

[fiery goblet]

yeah

[restive current]

whats the breakdown

[noble canopy]

bruh its cbse

[restive current]

actually

[radiant echo]

bro clgs expect u to have social science in high school anyways 💀

[fiery goblet]

yeah

[restive current]

maybe if u just got hard cooked in sst and hindi and rest were fine like 90+ they wont care

[radiant echo]

like maybe if u got 90+ in sci and math

[fringe gyro]

its a min requirement

yes

[radiant echo]

then ur probably good

[fringe gyro]

if u dont fulfill that its an auto rejection

[restive current]

i barely passed spanish in 9th grade (like a C equivalent) but i had perfect grades for all my other subjects

so idt they cared much about that

but like my avg was fine

[fiery goblet]

wait hold on

i had social studies in 9th and 10th grade

i didnt take social studies for 11th grade

if i take up economics in 12th

does it still count

like for purdue u need 3 years

[fringe gyro]

yes yes

[radiant echo]

bro u only need 2 years

its chill

[fiery goblet]

purdue website said u need 3

what

[fringe gyro]

econ is part of social sciences

[fiery goblet]

no cuz like i didnt take in 11th grade

[obsidian glacier]

the first thing they look at is ur grades

[fiery goblet]

so like

i thought it might

have some impact

[obsidian glacier]

any admission officer

[radiant echo]

bro every cbse 9th to 12th kid

has only 2 yrs of ssc

[obsidian glacier]

if u neglect that ur cooked 💀

[radiant echo]

its not an issue

i took pcmc in 11th 12th got in

dw

[obsidian glacier]

pcmc?

[radiant echo]

phys chem math cs

[obsidian glacier]

oh

i wish i had option to take cs 💔

[fiery goblet]

oh ya

alright then fuck social studies im not taking ts next year

[radiant echo]

but the thing is that we dont even have an option

theres barely any schools that offer econ as a 5th subject

[restive current]

yeah this is real

[fringe gyro]

u might want to consult some counsellor before u take that step

[radiant echo]

with science

[fiery goblet]

im in IBCP

i can take whatever i want wheneber i want

[restive current]

i saw a guy who had 1600 but he got 60% 11th so he got cooked hard

[fiery goblet]

i jujst need to study 2 years of ts in 1 year

[restive current]

he had like 95% all other grades

his ecs were fine too

[fiery goblet]

mane

alr

i gotta lock tf in

i will hop off now but like thanks for the advice yall 🙏 🙏
Might take economics next yr

[restive current]

dont take ib econ take business

i have 7 in ib physics and chemistry with barely any studying but i have 5 in econ

[fiery goblet]

OH YA

I'll ask my coordinator if i can take business management

if she doessnt allow it i'll take eco

cuz i like eco a bit

[restive current]

no ong just dont take it

[fiery goblet]

is it bad

like that bad

[restive current]

idk if my teacher is a bitch but i can only scrape 6s

im not even a bad writer i have a comfortable 6 in english

[fiery goblet]

ooh

im cooking eng

currently all 7s in everything weve done

and chemistry as well even tho that was the subject i was shitting on and crashing tf about

i mean im doing much much better in everything

[restive current]

bro fr i think ur school might be inflated

[fringe gyro]

IB chem HL is amazing, it was hell for me in 11th

[restive current]

u have to be like a genius to get a 7 in english

[fringe gyro]

but I got better

[fiery goblet]

Wait

Does that mean like

gives grades easily

or something

because if thats whta it means its the complete opposite

our english teahcer

[restive current]

colleges dont care u can cook easily

thats a good thing

[fiery goblet]

THAT MAN

HES MADE MY LIFE HELL

[restive current]

whats ur school ib avg

[fiery goblet]

for english the average is a 5

my class average is 4 lol

[restive current]

bro im just saying my school has a decent ib avg and less than 2% of people are predicted a 7

[fiery goblet]

im the only 7 student

[restive current]

idk any 7s this year

the only guy with a 7 i know got it cuz his teacher made a mistake while predicting his grade

and they forgot to fix it

[restive current]

u must be a gifted writer or something

damn

[fiery goblet]

🙏 🙏 😭

wish i was a LOCKED in student in early yyears of hs

[restive current]

like fr the only ib english 7s

ik

they got it cuz they cooked hard on their io

and got high 6s on the exams

the one from my school got 40/40 on her io

[fringe gyro]

I got cooked by English too, I think the IO saved my overall grade

[restive current]

yea io grading is very generous

ngl i rly regret not trying harder in ib

[noble canopy]

wait guys purdue requires 3 years of social science??

i'm in cbse and i dont have a choice to follow that

am i cooked?

fuckkkk i didn't know about this

[radiant echo]

dont worry 😭

had social science only in 9th 10th

didnt matter

[noble canopy]

wait you got in?

[radiant echo]

yeah

and plenty of ppl like me are there

they know how the system works its not a mandate

if ur in the us ideally you should have 3 years of social science

[noble canopy]

dude in the page for intl high school curriculum for indian boards it says:
'We understand that the mathematics and laboratory science requirement may be difficult for students who are enrolled in commerce or humanities tracks after Standard X examination. '

motherfuckers don't talk about the other way around, where high schoolers cant take humanities subjects

[radiant echo]

so this applies for ssc for ppl who are in science (which is the overwhelming majority who apply from what ive seen)

[noble canopy]

wait you were in which board?

can i dm ya?

[radiant echo]

cbse

yeah sure

[obsidian glacier]

look what i found

[pliant garnet]

theres also another type of napkin

like anti-stress

and its like stress may be normal

accusatory napkin 😔

[obsidian glacier]

purdue is so cooked purdue had to print out napkins to tell it aint that bad here

😭

[pliant garnet]

alright its not that bad

[obsidian glacier]

purdue propaganda has gotten into this man

😔

[pliant garnet]

i AM the purdue propaganda

[pliant garnet]

yall quick im in front of the office of admissions

shud I ask them anything lol

there’s just a student at the desk not an AO but still

[visual ermine]

About what

[hardy spear]

Yes please

[hardy spear]

Ask when decisions come out

[visual ermine]

Oh

[pliant garnet]

alr I gotchu

[hardy spear]

Thanks 🙏

[visual ermine]

Doing gods work

[fringe gyro]

maybe college decisions is the friends we made along the way

[hardy spear]

Thank you so much 🥺🫶

[visual ermine]

What’s ur major

[hardy spear]

Fye, second exploratory

[visual ermine]

Dang

[wind nest]

Did you ask?

[pliant garnet]

Alr im back

They said that if u applied RD decisions will be rolling on a first come first serve basis

No indication of the exact date 😔

[wind nest]

So we could be waiting till April?

Ts pmo

[hardy spear]

Damn I finished my loci the third day after I got deferred though 😔

That doesn’t make sense :((

[pliant garnet]

Idk how legit it is, but someone apparently emailed admissions and they said this week sometime

[wind nest]

Prolly Friday

[pliant garnet]

I think deferred are completely last

Cuz like in order of application date

And by technicality it’s the last day to apply when u got deferred

But im just speculating, i have no idea lol

[fringe gyro]

2 days left anyways

will find out then

[frail narwhal]

nah

i submitted

jan 13/15

and got the first wave

i lwky wasn’t even 100% sure abt applying to purdue

i think you convinced me

after u showed me the photos

and i realized it’s actually quite pretty

and not that boring as google showed

[pliant garnet]

yeahhh the campus is rly rly nice, the google photos don’t do it justice

they just show a bunch of photos of the stupid arch and nothing else 😔

[wind nest]

I applied ea back in October

Deferred

Still haven’t heard back

[pliant garnet]

Yeah I assume Friday then

But gl!

[wind nest]

Thanks

Go to u too

I prolly won’t even go if I get in

They won’t give me money

[frail narwhal]

😭😭

i rlly needed a half attractive campus

which seems stupid to a deciding factor on wether or not i apply

but my motivation stems from that

so i’m rlly glad you did show me

[tight lotus]

what about ea😔

[pliant garnet]

They didn’t say 😔

I asked for RD

[tight lotus]

😔

my friend who applied 2 and a half months after me got his acceptance 2 weeks ago

[obsidian glacier]

did u ask abt the change location thing

fuck i forgot to ask that 😭

[pliant garnet]

No 😔

[tight dirge]

@pliant garnet hows the social scene at purdue?

I have heard its eh not sure though

[gritty valley]

not who u asked but ive heard from pretty much everyone that it is what u make of it

[vocal solar]

hopefully i get friday 🥺

i was deferred

[gritty valley]

which is a lane response but

[pliant garnet]

it depends on who u ask, and what ur looking for lol

[vocal solar]

my next best option is rutgers honors so far

[pliant garnet]

like some ppl have different things they’re looking for in a social life

[tight dirge]

I mean im def very social

[tight dirge]

such as?

[vocal solar]

purdue is a huge school, I doubt that you won't be able to make friends

[pliant garnet]

Do u mean like partying, or just finding friends, or like smth else?

[tight dirge]

both

[pliant garnet]

Like im not rly a party person, im more than happy with my good group of friends

I don’t know much about the party scene as a result 😔

[pine tiger]

r the dorms as bad as people say?

[pliant garnet]

Not at all

[vocal solar]

im guessing first year dorms are mid at most universities anyways

[pliant garnet]

The only bad ones are tarkington and Owen, and more likely than not u won’t get those

[pine tiger]

fire

[pliant garnet]

And a good way to guarantee urself a good dorm is doing a learning community

[pine tiger]

prob gonna commit this friday

[tight dirge]

ah I see

Im probably gonna commit next week if I dont get in anywhere else from my 14 results

[tight dirge]

also whats the biggest dorm? in terms of x amount of people in one dorm

[ebon cipher]

Well let’s hope that even if they do waitlist they end up taking a lot of people off

[hardy spear]

Waitlist is so stupid imo if colleges don’t actually take people

Cause some schools take a ton other take like 2

[ebon cipher]

Purdue does take

I think they will just purposefully under enroll and take off the waitlist ngl

[fringe gyro]

Makes way more sense

Even deferrals though you’d be surprised how many people will just decline because they don’t wanna wait

I hope there are acceptances this last wave

[ebon cipher]

I think they’ll accept a ton this Friday still

But also waitlist and reject a ton

[fringe gyro]

Last Friday they only rejected cuz I didn’t see any acceptance (online)

[ebon cipher]

More waitlist than rejection they are kinda scared to reject

[fringe gyro]

usually the day decisions come out u see a lot of acceptance posts

[hardy spear]

Lowkey I’m thinking they already eliminated enough people in the EA round and then more people last week

[obsidian glacier]

I'm hoping ai major isn't filled to the brim

[hardy spear]

So this final round should be acceptances and mostly waitlists

[obsidian glacier]

Once rd finishes

All I can ask for is one spot 🥲

[pliant garnet]

Not sure

[obsidian glacier]

guys :(

this is change location thingy

guess im not coming to purdue afterall 💔

[ebon cipher]

Oh my god I’m so sorry

[obsidian glacier]

😔

i got it like 2mins ago

so im p sure yall will recieve decisions sooner or later dw

[fringe gyro]

They are coming out today?

[obsidian glacier]

this isnt deferral

[hardy spear]

I’m sorry 😞

Purdue isn’t allat I promise 😢

And I’m a d1 glazer

[severe ember]

Real

[obsidian glacier]

shhh

😭

[obsidian glacier]

its alr

if i was that desperate i'd be going for indy

but its alright 😔

[fringe gyro]

U could go to Indy and codo to ai in wl

[craggy bolt]

That's a bummer. Did you only request a change in location, or did you also consider switching your major?

[obsidian glacier]

change in location, asked for AI major

[fluid lake]

did u submit wrong location at first?

[obsidian glacier]

yea

[frail narwhal]

ok purdue u might be the love of my life atp

[noble dune]

just reject me alr

[blissful shoal]

that writing finna carry his college app

[boreal rose]

is purdue a nice place to live at? like nice social life and cool stuff to do there?

wondering if i should go

[eager kelp]

@pliant garnet

[pliant garnet]

so it rly depends on like what ur looking for

i love it here so much, so many rly good friends and nice ppl and i dont rly get bored

but each person is different, ymmv

[boreal rose]

thats nice to hear

any specific spots that you like the most?

[pliant garnet]

spots for food? or like entertainment? on campus or off campus?

[boreal rose]

both and off campus

actually wait entertinamt, off campus

[pliant garnet]

theres a cat cafe thats rly nice

its annoyingly far (30 min walk, or 10 minute bus + 5 minute walk)

but they have cute cats :D

[boreal rose]

i wanna go to a cat cafe so bad

that sounds so cool

[pliant garnet]

yeahhh its super fun

[boreal rose]

if i dont get into anything else might go here then

or uc santa barbara/irvine not sure yet

[pliant garnet]

yeah id def make a https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/954425230896545792 post
all three of those schools have extremely different experiences, like ucsb is a party/beach school, uci ive heard is almost a commuter school, and purdue is more like ur ?"stereotypical" college? i guess

[pliant garnet]

im assuming ur cali in state right

[boreal rose]

yeah

i dont really wanna go to a party school or commuter school tbh lol

so purdue is one of my top choices atm

unless my waitlists pull through

[pliant garnet]

oh where r u wled?

[eager kelp]

Purdue is where it's at 🙏

[eager kelp]

I'm so excited

I'll be on campus in 2 weeks

well about 2 weeks

2 weeks and like 4 days

[hardy onyx]

you touring?

[eager kelp]

Yup

Polytechnic admitted students day

[hardy onyx]

:o

[eager kelp]

ikrr

[hardy onyx]

I personally absolutely loved my tour

[eager kelp]

oooh okay

[pliant garnet]

r u planning on trying a dining hall lol

[hardy onyx]

Although i am engineering

[eager kelp]

Did you just go on a general tour, or was it a admitted students day?

[eager kelp]

Yeah prolly Earhart

[hardy onyx]

admitted students day

[eager kelp]

cause that's where i think i'll be

[eager kelp]

ooh fire

[boreal rose]

the ones i want are uiuc, cmu (low chance lol), and ucsd

[pliant garnet]

nooo earhart is one of the more generic ones

[hardy onyx]

I tried Earhart and Winsor

[eager kelp]

Well that's where i think i'll be (cyber LC) which one should i try then?

[hardy onyx]

they’re pretty solid

[eager kelp]

Oooh

[pliant garnet]

wait once ur closer to the day, tell me, and ill tell u the menus of each one and recommend which one u shud go to

[eager kelp]

how was earhart?

[boreal rose]

when's purdue's admitted students day?

[eager kelp]

aight bet

[eager kelp]

They're already done smh

[pliant garnet]

so im ngl, usually no matter where u live, its not insanely inconvenient to get to most dining halls

[eager kelp]

What major are you?

[pliant garnet]

like i rotate rly regularly

[eager kelp]

Fair

I was just going to try Earhart cause that's the dorm i'll be in

[hardy onyx]

Earhart when I went had ice cream, chicken bites, fried cauliflower

[pliant garnet]

imo, windsor is the worst lol

[eager kelp]

so it'll be the most convienent

[eager kelp]

Fire

[pliant garnet]

oh thats like the worst day imo

[hardy onyx]

Really 😭

[eager kelp]

It sounds like it

[pliant garnet]

yeahh i usually avoid a dining hall when theyre serving chicken nuggets and cauliflower lol

[hardy onyx]

my friend who goes there said she mainly only goes to windsor cuz she’s vegetarian

[pliant garnet]

oh yeah for vegetarians its usually earhart or windsor

[hardy onyx]

dyk which dining hall is closest to the EPICS LLC

[pliant garnet]

windsor, wiley, and hilly are like less than 5 min walk from earhart :D

its rly convenient

[pliant garnet]

what dorm is epics in?

[blissful shoal]

cat cafe is fire

[pliant garnet]

r u doing data mine epics or general engineering epics?

[hardy onyx]

fye epics

[blissful shoal]

cmu 😔

[pliant garnet]

ah so ur in shreve

earhart is suuuper close

and then windsor wiley and hillenbrand are 5 min ish walks away

[hardy onyx]

oh

solid

[pliant garnet]

onebowl and sushiboss are also like right next door

but those arent dining halls

[eager kelp]

oooh okay

[eager kelp]

How close are those to earhart?

[pliant garnet]

i entirely misread ur question lol, but those are p close, like a 2-5 min walk as well

[pliant garnet]

OOH WAIT earhart has an "on the go", basically for a meal swipe, u can get like a sandwich or sushi or a bunch of snacks to go, its rly rly good when ur heading to classes or too lazy to actually do dining hall. i basically lived off of earhart on the go last sem since i had a rly early class
and then dining halls have takeout, so if ur bulding is connected to a dining hall, which urs is, then u can just use the takeout box and take the food to ur room

[eager kelp]

BRO WHAT THAT IS SO FIRE

HOLY

CYBER LC

PLEASEEEEE TKAE ME

PLEASSEEEE

[ripe island]

supposedly there was another acceptance wave today

[hardy spear]

Huhhh??

[hardy spear]

Source?

[ripe island]

college confidential + reddit, could be bs idk

[hardy spear]

The guy on Reddit is bs

It’s a brand new account

Just checked it out, I think they’re a troll

[ripe island]

oh legit? interesting

guess we'll really see this friday

[fringe gyro]

for sure trolling lol

so many people just larp on a2c and college confidential

[novel fog]

am i tweaking

has purdue sent out financial aid letters

or nah

[brazen kiln]

why do ppl troll decisions

ion get it

seems lke a huge waste of time

[frail narwhal]

yes

[soft ruin]

what when

where 💀 i dont see it

[novel fog]

how the HELL do i access this shit

they made their damn websites and shit so confusing

[frail narwhal]

go to ur to do list

on ur student portal

[novel fog]

the mypurdue thing?

im lowkey worried i accidentally accepted the offer of admission.

[soft ruin]

to do list?

[frail narwhal]

you didn’t pay

so you didn’t

[soft ruin]

oh

i never set up my

account

do i nned to set up student career account oop

[novel fog]

yeah im just so damn confused

[soft ruin]

man turns out i had to finish some fafsa vierfication in january and i j never did it 💀

[chrome tusk]

wait does purdue only give financial aid to in-state students

[noble canopy]

y'all the portal still hasn't updated wtf

is it comin out on friday??

[chrome tusk]

did u get an email saying that decisions are out?

[brazen kiln]

definitely

[noble canopy]

nope

wasn't it supposed to update a few days before the decision comes out?

[whole junco]

yo i opened the portal and saw a letter that started with "we have receieved a record number of applicants" and my heart dropped but it was just my EA deferral letter 😭

[steel vigil]

they gave me some aid (oos) but it was very very small

probably not even 2k added up

[loud crow]

yeah purdue finaid is not reliable

you can only hope to get a good scholarship but if not then uh… yeah maybe cooked

[steel vigil]

they gave me ver little but i will take what i can get

not possible to appeal because they can just replace u with someone from the waitlist

[ripe island]

they do that???

[loud crow]

true but also esp if youre oos they prioritize in state cause theyre public

[ripe island]

wait nvm

[loud crow]

u could prob try if youre in state but oos yeah nah

[chrome tusk]

their website says "those who met the January 15 deadline are scheduled to receive their decisions by March 31"

it seems like some ppl got their decisions back today while others didnt this is so weird

[hollow field]

huge accpetance wave coming friday trust

[chrome tusk]

i didnt get any aid lmao im cooked and burnt

[fringe gyro]

Some got accepted Wednesday?

[eager kelp]

Nah

[fringe gyro]

I saw a post saying it’s out and that person got mech Eng

[ebon cipher]

Only one guy

Idk

[fringe gyro]

What is this man 😭

[pliant garnet]

worst case monday i guess lol

[deep ridge]

Sad

[modest merlin]

whatttt

bruhhhh

can it come out alr💔💔

[steel vigil]

why can’t they just release everything in one go

[eager kelp]

Idk

[steel vigil]

[eager kelp]

WELL I DON'T AGREE /S

[eager kelp]

[steel vigil]

the one who does will get placed into earhart with random roomie ( but this is just assumption )

[eager kelp]

True

data mine has hundreds

[eager kelp]

Like how many peopleare in your cohort or wtv

damm it

Cause for CSEC we have a required class that we take together

rather 4

do you think it would have more than 23 people

that's a better question

[pliant garnet]

yeah same for data mine

actually whats the course

let me see its limit rq

[eager kelp]

Fall
CNIT 176 - Information Technology Architectures (3 CR)

CNIT 182 - System and Organizational Security (3 CR)

Spring:

CNIT 15501 - Introduction to Software Development Concepts (3 CR)

CNIT 270 - Cybersecurity Fundamentals (3 CR)

[eager kelp]

I was just curiouis because i do NOT want a 7:30 💀

[pliant garnet]

theres like 250 seats for 176

[eager kelp]

Really?

[pliant garnet]

yeah

lemme see 182

like 150-ish for 182

[eager kelp]

What time are they at?

[pliant garnet]

either 730 AM, 930 AM 130 PM or 330 PM

[eager kelp]

Hmm

PLEASE NO 7:30

💀

[pliant garnet]

😔

730s suck so bad ughh

i had one last sem

[eager kelp]

bro

what are the odds

[pliant garnet]

[eager kelp]

BRO WHAT

[pliant garnet]

[eager kelp]

[pliant garnet]

[pliant garnet]

like i had classes nonstop from 730 AM to 730 PM on tuesdays and thursdays

[eager kelp]

id def do that again over a distributed 5 day schedule

[eager kelp]

Fair

[grim sonnet]

[pliant garnet]

most likely friday

[grim sonnet]

ic

[ripe badge]

i think it has to be friday @ 5pm est no?

[pliant garnet]

most probably

but dont expect anything until monday midnight

[ripe badge]

yer

[snow topaz]

how hard is it to switch to fye from something like college of sciences?

from what i see online the fye major selection form in spring of the freshman year, that means u have to switch by the end of the first semester right?

what are the criteria for transferring? gpa, courseload?

[ebon cipher]

Oh easy I’m assuming

Much less competitive

[hardy spear]

Bro Purdue ain’t even a t20 who they think they are?

Give me my decision, every closely similar college like UIUC, uw Madison, unc chapel hill has already came out with their regular decisions weeks ago

Some even had more applicants than Purdue

Like UIUC and unc

UIUC had around 80-90k applicants

[brazen kiln]

only gt is allowed to release this late

[restive current]

lowkey i aitn ever seen a college that glazes its instates more than purdue

ut austin has some law mandating that 90% of the class has to be texan and it's still hard to get cs instate

[ebon cipher]

Purdue just needs to chalk it up and drop the decisions today

[restive current]

purdue cs has like an 80% acceptance rate for instates

my friend said to him purdue is like the lower bound of a good college 😭

cuz if a uni has worse avg stats than purdue it must be chopped because even colleges that u think r worse at engineering have better avg stats than purdue somehow

[open cosmos]

me when i pull out stats out of my ass 🔥

[restive current]

it's ok u dont need to cry

fr the instates at purdue must be fucking chopped

if this is the most selective major 😭

no wonder fye is a thing

[frail narwhal]

The quality of the program speaks by itself seeing how many students apply to Purdue out of state and their recent popularity. On the other hand, it’s a public! As Pack said but that shouldn’t diminish its prestige rather add to it. Its priority is in the right place in terms of who to benefit more in terms of admission.

[noble canopy]

i mean sure but that figure is absolutely insane tho

[restive current]

ok fr if the instates u admit r so cooked u need a first year program to get rid of the non qualified ones u might asw just reduce the acceptance rate

[noble canopy]

what if a person studies in fuckin alaska? do they not deserve some chance to attend prestigious colleges such as purdue?

[restive current]

no

everyone has to do it

it's just a weedout

[frail narwhal]

No, mandated to weed people out

[noble canopy]

nah fye is for all

[frail narwhal]

Then depending on how you do in FYE, you’re allowed to choose a major

But that’s how some colleges do it, anyhow

I feel like it makes sense in a way, it’s not just for in-state kids. It’s a way to help people know what they want to pursue and help them build skills to attain it

[restive current]

lowkey i dotn think anyone who isnt from indiana is getting cooked by fye

[noble canopy]

ok so what if you're a student in alaska? or hawaii? are you simply fucked because of the state you were born in?

[frail narwhal]

Not everyone can afford to go private nor has the opportunity to though. But I still agree with your point.

[noble canopy]

yeahh pvt colleges aren't as accessible bruh

90k vs 50k bruh

[restive current]

purdue should be like the goat virginia tech which has a higher oos acceptance rate than instate

[frail narwhal]

😭😭 Purdue is a lot cheaper than a private I heard back from, LMAO..

[restive current]

vt 🔥

[radiant echo]

even the ucs have a toooon of oos kids just cuz full pay

[frail narwhal]

Makes me feel bad for wanting more from Purdue, ngl

😭

[noble canopy]

i agree that public colleges should have some preference for in-state applicants, but a significant difference in the qualifications of the admits is defo not good even for the college

[frail narwhal]

Fasfa is >5k for me and no merit so far

[noble canopy]

dawg even within the colleges there's competition b/w in-state vs oos admits

[frail narwhal]

Might hear back later about that

[noble canopy]

its not just about tuition price, later on you'll anyways have to compete with your peers

[frail narwhal]

Yeah, lmao

[noble canopy]

if you increase the in-state acceptance rates you'll inadvertently alienate the in-state admits

because the criteria for admissions will naturally fall

[frail narwhal]

😭😭

what

These institutions are regulated by the state and federal government to benefit the state

[noble canopy]

there'll be less in-state students in the clubs and college programs with low acceptance rates and more oos students

yeahh but you gotta find that sweet spot where in-state and oos admits are equally qualified

yeah fair

[hardy spear]

Nah, Purdue so much cheaper for me than any private ever would be

And it’s oos

[pliant garnet]

Wow that entire convo was toxic af

I don’t wanna read that again

[noble canopy]

dude wtf chill, you don't need to be unnecessarily rude

[snow topaz]

thanks, is there a reason it isn’t competitive? it feels like switching majors into engineering would be pretty popular

[pliant garnet]

Yeah im ngl if ur gonna be mean like that then please dont come here
Everyone ive met here has been super super nice, dont ruin it. Go to iu or something instead

[gloomy stag]

iu catching strays lmao

but yeah everyone I know who has gone to purdue has been super nice

[steel vigil]

another wave tomorrow 👀

[pliant garnet]

gl yall!!

[novel fog]

wait wat i already got my decision march 14th

[steel vigil]

they came out in waves

[noble canopy]

yeah a lot of em came out over the last 2 weeks

[restive current]

tmrw gonna be all waitlists js

[sinful viper]

make sure you do bgr!!

and getting involved in your form is a good way to make friends

generally as long as you have a 3.0 you’re fine from my understanding

[fringe gyro]

tay are u planning to go to grad school? whats a good gpa for good grad school if ur looking for one

u wanted to do genetic counselling right? grad school will be a need or no?

[sinful viper]

yes im planning on pursuing my masters in gc and generally a 3.0 with mostly As (and no lower then Bs) in the prereqs is the academic component needed

i have a 3.97 rn and all As in my prereqs so far. I’m in my last two rn and ill probably get a B in one and an A in the other

[fringe gyro]

oh damn thats a rlly good gpa, I might ask u for study tips later on 🙏

[steel vigil]

my gpa gonna be cooked after 2k1

[sinful viper]

itll go down soon dw 💀😭

Random question but do most of the college kids make notes on iPad…like is using notebook and hand written stuff outdated ??

[obsidian glacier]

handwritten notes are the goat 😔

[sinful viper]

most people i know take notes on an ipad but i also know people who use notebook

[pliant garnet]

Some ppl use notebooks, some use iPads

Like an even mix of both id say

[novel fog]

purdue or vt for mech e...

[obsidian glacier]

Purdue

[tame hornet]

I got an ipad right before college and love it, incredible for keeping me organized. But everyone does what works for them

[true mirage]

are there gonna be decisions tmrw?

[vernal geyser]

Prolly

[novel fog]

ive been taking early college calc courses and having an ipad is literally so convenient

i havent used it for many other classes bc most of my teachers love paper and packets
