Pause
Wgatttt
old turtle
Idk if I should do bse or ab thi
the only major where that's a choice is in CS
all other majors are either BSE or AB
crimson jackal
Wait when getting jobs would companies treat those degrees differently
old turtle
course requirements for the two are different. If you're more research oriented, I think AB is the way to go. More engineering oriented would be BSE. So as far as the job market, it would be specific to the opportunity (I think)
crimson jackal
Ohhhhh okay okay I see
That’s kinda cool that they let you do both
Or like
One or the other
old turtle
BSE is 36 courses in 8 semesters, AB is 32? And the general ed requirements are different
you only can choose between the two in CS.
otherwise the department determines the degree
crimson jackal
So Bse kids have to take more courses every semester on average?
old turtle
I mean. Princeton is tough. Otherwise how do graduates succeed? Everything else is easy
Sorta tongue in cheek. But Princeton is known for its difficulty/rigor
My cousin warned me. I didn't listen 😅

It's a decently large class. Very popular with premeda
south harbor
ye
humble stream
i think its sometimes awkward if people end up applying to the same places especially early but i think we're not like maliciously competitive tbh
west light
i dont know if im interpreting this correctly but some of the kids at my school fully believe that top schools only admit 1 person MAX per high school so they discussed their early decisions and planned it to minimise that
humble stream
i dont know if im interpreting this correctly but some of the kids at my school ...
yeah some people at my school do this too
old turtle
People didn't know that I applied until I got in
humble stream
sometimes depending on who im talking to though i just end up saying that i wanna go wherever accepts me
old turtle
But to be fair, I didn't really have friends in high school
west light
we're here now :)
elfin sedge
In my school I think one other person applied early to Princeton
west light
i was originally gonna apply early to stanford, found out that we have a crazy rich dude + legacy applying early there from my school, decided to research about princeton and "fell in love" with it
old turtle
Honestly, I hate that shit. I'm very much a mind your own business type of person
elfin sedge
To me I feel like it’s worth applying to your top choice early
Even if there’s a lot of people applying there early

lwk me
west light
so it worked out
old turtle
Fit is real
elfin sedge
Yeah exactlyy
west light
tbh one of the main things that stood out while researching princeton was their undergraduate emphasis
i never even considered that when making my college list
elfin sedge
Undergraduate research focus especially
old turtle
You can't control what other people do. You can control what you do, and time spent worrying about other people is a waste of energy
west light
i mean ofc theyll focus on undergrads
but i expect at bigger schools and state schools
theyll not care about you that much
west light
for big schools like MIT, stanford, harvard most of their reputation is from their graduate schools (i may be slightly wrong)
old turtle
Upenn/Harvard have medical, business, law, dental/teaching (Upenn)
west light
for big schools like MIT, stanford, harvard most of their reputation is from the...
ofc getting in as undergrad there is still gonna be crazy, but does prestige matter more than your actual education and time spent there?
old turtle
It gives you access to a much larger pool of professors, but the professors attention isn't necessarily on undergrad research
You're required to do a senior thesis to graduate
I think senior theses are optional in most other undergrad programs
quick mortar
at my hs we need a senior thesis too haha
west light
also one thing that makes me feel slightly more optimistic is that ALL of us have done epic shit on our own (thats why we even took the initial step of applying to princeton lol)
probably doesnt matter where we end up (ie prestige, undergrad focus and whatnot), because we're gonna continue doing epic shit no matter what

also ivies in particular dont want like achievements robots
they are liberal arts colleges
they want people with a sensibility for culture, arts, literature, politics, etc
theyre not tech schools
twin adder
i mean think about the original stereotype of like the rich kid who goes to an ivy
and studies like classics and philosophy lmao
thats sort of the spirit of these schools
quick mortar
does it help that my grandpa went to princeton lmao
twin adder
the engineering and scientific integration is a more recent phenomenon and they want people pursuing sciences with a humane and ethical lens
thats why princeton has so many distribution recs
even the scientists from princeton have gotten an extensive training in the humanities
west light
they want people with a sensibility for culture, arts, literature, politics, etc
ive been pretty disheartened at my ECs and honors even though i did it all honestly (cough cough manufactured profiles)

twin adder
I also feel like Princeton is actively trying to ditch that stereotype

we shouldnt give people welfare because
itll give them more affordable income than working

Tryna be like abigail

I think one of the only reasonable arguments against raising the minimum wage is that the places that still actually play $7.25 are small business that can’t afford the pay raise
twin adder
and then they claimed it "discouraged" people from working but the unemployment rate since 2020 has been like 3-4%
white marten
Everywhere else pays well above minimum wage

that im procrastinating on a2c
at this paper
i should just turn it in dawg
im too aggrieved to care about my grade
twin adder
I think one of the only reasonable arguments against raising the minimum wage is...
ok then they should address this and have some sort of system of determing whether employers can afford it
and then raise the min wage in those cases to favor the public interest principle of affordable wages
white marten
