Purdue University (2025-2026)

[oblique sleet]

is it possible to double major with a degree in cyber then a degree in finance at purdue

[junior sun]

it's probably uncle bits

uncle bits goes insane sometimes after spendign too many hours in the lab 🥀

[supple scroll]

no it was on tiktok

[supple scroll]

finance is not the best at purdue you should do cyber and something else in polytech maybe

but i'm not sure you should ask someone else who already goes there

[vestal oyster]

Happiest Purdue engineering major

Wait whats ur major

[junior sun]

isnt he meche

[vestal oyster]

No yours

💔

[junior sun]

fye..?

or aero if ur looking for specific ig

but the aero job market as an intl student

eh i wont worry abt any of that now

ill js apply to what i care abt lol

[chrome quarry]

OMG YAYYAYA

[daring beacon]

how high is purdue business acceptance

like 60 or 70 ish?

somewhere in that range

[safe spindle]

that would be a dual degree and some departments are a bit more picky on that but i dont see any logisitical reasons as to why you couldnt but that would take a long time since there is minimal overlap

[safe spindle]

45.9% https://admissions.purdue.edu/become-student/class-profile/

our overall AR is supposedly ~41% but i imagine that number will continue to drop because my freshman year it was ~60% lol

[fair kernel]

Thanks for convincing me to apply to Purdue in th first place

Idk how long ago

Happy I got in

[trail escarp]

hell yeahhhhh congrats!!!

[fair kernel]

I also got into msu today 🤑🤑🤑

They gave me ~15k/yr aid

[lunar cypress]

WHY do you know boilerhotmic 😭😭😭

not even a student yet and already knows everything on campus is insane work

[trim herald]

@junior sun

[supple scroll]

isnt this the mic in the middle of the street for reels on campus with random students

[lunar cypress]

yeah

surprised it's come on non Purdue student fyps

[crisp pulsar]

Is this ragebait whys it coming up on my feed

[trail escarp]

i got that on my feed as well

[crisp pulsar]

Omg u got accepted to purdue???

[trail escarp]

lowkirkenuinely might get rejected from their masters/phd once i apply

[crisp pulsar]

Nah u got it trust

[proper maple]

yo I got that as well

[fair kernel]

Am I allowed to stay off campus freshman year

[trail escarp]

Generally not, but I think you can ask for an exception

[trim herald]

I don’t see why you would anyways dorms are fun

[fair kernel]

I think all the good dorms r out alr

And also I want my own bathroom

[trim herald]

Nah there’s not that many bad dorms and what’s your major?

They reserve a lot of dorm space for freshman

[fair kernel]

Applied math

[fair kernel]

This possible in any of them

I want to live alone

I do not want a roommate

[trim herald]

Ah, and some of the dorms have their own bathroom

Getting a single is hard af freshman year prolly not going to happen unless you have an accommodation

[fair kernel]

I don’t wanna put anything in there but a tv and a few consoles

[fair kernel]

Do only singles have attached bathrooms

[trim herald]

No

There’s doubles with bathrooms

[fair kernel]

Hm

I still wanna live alone 🙁

[trim herald]

Yeah but also apartments are expensive asf aswell

You’ll be paying probably double what you would at a dorm

[lunar cypress]

get your bed lofted

creates loads of space then

[worthy trout]

DONT DO IT

[worthy trout]

live in a dorm no matter what twin

literal cheatcode for making friends

[safe spindle]

the odds of getting this are slim

[ornate raptor]

did anyone get trustee scholar?

[unique owl]

Am I missing out on anything regarding honors in Purdue

I didn’t apply to engineering honors

[honest bane]

iirc purdue honors had better dorms or smth

[unique owl]

Ah

[hoary quartz]

not treally

[unique owl]

I see

[hoary quartz]

housing after first year

isnt guaranteed

so its personal preference

honors engr 161 and 162 kinda scuffed so a good thing to avoid

sometimes

[unique owl]

👍

[alpine garden]

is it hard to tranfer into engineering at purdue

[frail schooner]

i think so

purdue has cs honors right

thats completely diff from the honors college

(I've heard that the honors college college is p buns and just extra work for like a star on your transcript-)

[solemn orbit]

no its not

literally its only hard for the stupid people who try it and they perpetuate that

just get a high gpa freshman year and youll probably be admitted

(if youre talking about transferring from a different college at purdue not outside of purdue)

[alpine garden]

yeah, i got in for biology and am rethinking my intended major now

[hoary quartz]

yea

[hoary quartz]

no

it is hard

to get into fye

idk who told you otherwise

fye is highly competitive and the school of engineering has recent been becoming more and more stingy

[solemn orbit]

If you get a 4.0 I highly doubt theyll not let you transfer

[hoary quartz]

with their acceptances of non engineering majors

[solemn orbit]

its the same thing with champaign here

[hoary quartz]

it happens

they will reject ya

occasionally

depends on semester

and availability

cause its also not about gpa

its about classes

and some classes might not have space

and for example

if you wanted to do aero

chances are tiny as hell

ece is getting to be harder

mechE is a better shot

IE is the easiest one to get into

cause you dont have to do fye

but biomedical, ece, mechE, and aero are the hard ones

and thats usually what folks wanna do

and imma be frank, getting a 4.0 is possible, but college be hard sometimes

and its not cause students are stupid or anything

things happen

the transition to college is much harder for some than others

it doesnt mean their future is over

but just looking at alternatives

[hoary quartz]

what kinda major would you be interested

in

like biological engineering?

[nimble copper]

hi guys sry to interrupt but has anyone gotten both the honors college offer and a scholarship notification on their admissions letter?

[hoary quartz]

if you didnt get it on your admissions letter

you most likely

didnt get it

dont worry

you can just apply to honors

after your first year

[nimble copper]

lol i got honors but was just curious bc many of my friends who got scholarship didn’t get honors and many others got honors but no scholarship, was just tryna see if anyone got both

on their letter

[hoary quartz]

pretty much

[safe spindle]

i know people who have gotten both. my boyfriend is one for example

[hoary quartz]

honors is awesome

the dorms are cool

i like that one place thats like hogwarts

i did hear the honors south got renamed

[onyx fossil]

wait if i dont get fiancial aid first year can i reapply for more finanicial aid second year

i didnt even know you get betteer dorms with honors

man fuck i woulda applied

[solemn orbit]

did they release packages

[onyx fossil]

no but i missed the deadline like a dumbass

[frail schooner]

its not much better tbh

its ok ish

plus only the first year

[hoary quartz]

theres scholarships offered by the school and other orgs

hard to get it

but possible

also

internships

[onyx fossil]

when is financial aid deadline for ea

did i mis sit?

[hoary quartz]

yea

[onyx fossil]

gg

[hoary quartz]

actually

[onyx fossil]

wtv its not that expensive anyways

[hoary quartz]

search it up

scholarship

deadline is with ea

deadline

nov 15th or smth

[onyx fossil]

dec 15th to complete a fafsa?

where can I even see my fin aid

[unique owl]

I got offered no scholarships 😭

Highly doubt im getting much aid anyway

[onyx fossil]

yeah nah i missed it

but its fine i wasnt getting need based anyways

[unique owl]

I applied for FAFSA like way back and then submitted it, how do you check?

[onyx fossil]

jsut go fafsa website it says when it was started/processed and everything

oh nvm i got it in

[unique owl]

Oh well I got that

[onyx fossil]

beside that i got no idea

i dunno where to view my own fin aid

[unique owl]

Oh okay

I’ll find out eventually 😭

[alpine garden]

Yeah, something like that, or mech e

[hoary quartz]

mechE is ideally possible

but harder to transfer into

these days

is there a specific field youre interesed in?

like biological related?

[near horizon]

I’m thinking like IE or like EE

[blissful sky]

WAIT DOES THIS MENA I ACCIDENTALLY ACCEPTED

I HOPE NOT

[vestal oyster]

no

It legit "says to accept your offer"

Wtf it's $500 ??

[blissful sky]

oh shi

mb

[hoary quartz]

IE is more achievable than EE

[junior sun]

congrats!! rahhh see u in the cornfields

jkjk

[junior sun]

i was under impression that college deposits would be like 1/4 of ur freshman tuition or sum 😭 so i was surprised

[junior sun]

i'm the professional simp n purdue's been my dream school for AGES, what did yall expect? 😭

[junior sun]

aaaaa i wanna be there rn so bad 😭

[junior sun]

i got that in my feed 5 hrs before decisions released n i was crashing out 😭 cuz it felt like they were taunting us or sum

[trim herald]

Right in front of the McDonald’s

[junior sun]

yeah i remember reading somehwere that they moved

to be in front of the mcdonalds

dammit why do i know so many random things about purdue

also would i have guaranteed housing for all 4 years as an honors student? ik theres separate housing for honors but

[trim herald]

Maybe

[hoary quartz]

It's just 41 year

For one year

Afterwards, you gotta deal with the lottery.For housing

The lottery is pretty interesting

It really screws up your dreams and future goals

[wanton pike]

is purdue cybersecurity major bad?

[junior sun]

dont we have 2 purdue cyber peeps on here or sum 😭

nooo whered snowy go 🥺

[wanton pike]

like compare to cs

[trim herald]

It’s great

Purdue cyber is completely different than CS

cyber in t3 in the country for cyber

Great program good class’s that help you learn a lot of stuff that you would need to know

[wanton pike]

i got in for cyber, but my final destination is security engineer, so idk if i shud go to purdue cyber or wait for other schools

[alpine garden]

yeah, biomed or mech prolly

maybe aero, though seems like chances are unlikely

[crisp pulsar]

Bro I got it after being deferred 😭😭

[vast pasture]

does Purdue have a set RD date that they get released

[tawdry nebula]

tf???

is ts true?

[tulip musk]

yes

[inner smelt]

When should we send LOCIs if deferred?

[hoary quartz]

I say try it out but don't be discouraged if it doesn't work out ?

[trim herald]

Do cyber??

That’s a field you can get into with a. Cyber security degree

The world is your oyster they have a ton of cyber clubs here

[junior sun]

awww i don't get it, but i love the oyster metaphor!!

🦪

[near horizon]

Is getting into fye oos good sign for other big public schools (GT, Michigan) im assuming these probabilities are somewhat correlated

[opaque olive]

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-7240636

its pretty random! imo if you have the stats to get in fye you might stand a good shot at others but there is no guarantee and no correlation

[supple scroll]

i mean i would say purdue engineering is an easier engineering school to get into than like gt but you never know

[near horizon]

There is association

[hoary quartz]

You know, it's like getting into a really prestigious job opportunity.And then trying to signal to aliens from alpha centauri, if that's a good idea

[near horizon]

Brother I might be really slow but that made no sense

[hoary quartz]

I dont even know anymore

[crisp pulsar]

Engineering made this man go insane

I see what you're getting at though

[hoary quartz]

This week

Was something else

[near horizon]

1st week back?!

Oh boy

[hoary quartz]

The escalation of coursework is wild

I had homework from day 1

Syllabus week is fake

Its syllabus 15 minutes

I have 2 dynamics homeworks due every 2 days

[vestal oyster]

Let's go bowling

[fringe remnant]

Engineering makes everyone go insane

[junior relic]

fr

[onyx fossil]

wait wth

purdue is so cheap

[junior relic]

What’s that

[junior sun]

@opaque olive take this course w me in the fall brochancho

[junior sun]

saw a decision video from a girl last yr who got rejected from uiuc (grainger) but got into mit

it truly do be feelin random

and before yall go "uiuc yield protects!!" nuh uh uh

idts for engineering at least

[near horizon]

Mmm

[opaque olive]

aight bet! lets see if i get through course registration tho cuz i dont have priority

also youre gonna commit only in may right? or did you already?

[cobalt cloud]

Ayyyy I got in to Purdue!

Js checked lol

[topaz spindle]

Congrats!!

[opaque olive]

dubs in the chatt!

[cobalt cloud]

1st acceptance too lol

[junior sun]

prob sometime in the near future!! hopefully :D

[opaque olive]

oh sick!!

[true oriole]

Hi

any international who got into purdue engineering

what r ur stats

i got deferred

ahhhhhhh did they deferr all from engineering?

what r the last yr stats looking like

for engineering clg

[crisp pulsar]

A lot of people got in

Quite a few got deferred

I got deferred

[true oriole]

im shit scared man

its my dream uni

[opaque olive]

im in the college of sciences but i can tell you my stats if you want

[true oriole]

sure thanks

[opaque olive]

dms

[true oriole]

ik a lot from clg of sci but no one's stats from engineering so if anyone who got in clg of e can share, thanks

[true oriole]

dmed

[slow yew]

hey yall

i got deferred fye as an intl too

submitted my LOCI yesterday

[hot nest]

Bro same im in the exact same boat 😭 purdue and georgia tech IE are the only good IE programs in america because so many firms only exclusively hire from those two

but EE offers more stability

[slow yew]

Whats IE @hot nest

[hot nest]

industrial engineering

[slow yew]

its ECE, not EE

[hot nest]

its barely engineering

[slow yew]

ah i see

[hot nest]

its more comp sci and data analytics

[hoary quartz]

at purdue it is engineering

here its 1/3 mechE

and the rest is its stuff

[hot nest]

wow really?

[hoary quartz]

yea

[hot nest]

So you learn about designing manufacturing stuff?

[hoary quartz]

they gotta do calc 1-3, statics, thermo, ece fundamentals

[hoary quartz]

yes

https://catalog.purdue.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=18&poid=34500&hl="Industrial+Engineering"&returnto=search

check it out

[hot nest]

Wait thats actually really cool cause ik at gatech most IE just go into consulting

[hoary quartz]

yea purdue IE is old school

they can go into consulting

if they choose to

[hot nest]

Thats actually what I really want out of an IE education

[hoary quartz]

but the curriculum is old school IE stuff

manufacturing courses

engineering economics

material classes

theres so much overlap with IE and mechE here

the manufacturing research lab has mechE and IE professors

for a reason

"Senior design projects consist of a real-world application of IE principles by teaming students with a local industry in Indiana. Teams have taken on full-scale projects like designing floor layouts for factories and hospitals, designing operations to improve system efficiency, reducing time and waste in processing, allocating resources to optimize system performance, and developing a safety plan for preventing work-related injuries"

this is the senior design course for example

[hot nest]

Thank you so much

Do you know any IEs at purdue?

[hoary quartz]

yes

[hot nest]

How are their internship opportunities and co-op experiences like

[hoary quartz]

i know so many

[hoary quartz]

the same like everyone

but they get more

usually

cause its less IE

[hot nest]

What do most of them tend to gravitate towards

[hoary quartz]

majors

[hoary quartz]

anything

ive seen IE do data science

swe

manufacturing

consulting

robotics

like ive seen it all

they literally do whatever they feel like doing

[hot nest]

IE doing robotics? 😮

[hoary quartz]

i know an IE who wants to do economics

[hoary quartz]

industrial robotics

[hot nest]

Do they get paid good

[hoary quartz]

but this person was doing robotics with nasa

[hoary quartz]

that depends on the employer

[hot nest]

Im assuming you do MechE, why did you pick that over IE if IE is more flexible

[hoary quartz]

but i think most engineers at purdue get paid well

[hoary quartz]

i just want a mechE degree

and the thought of IE kinda didnt jive with me

im still tryna do IE shit tho

manufacturing and energy

[hot nest]

Biggest thing im worried about is the gloomy weather tbh and constant cold

[hoary quartz]

its ass

but like

its managable

[hot nest]

Also a flight from my hometown to lafayette is 450 dollars

[hoary quartz]

if you get a good jacket

you should be fine

[hot nest]

where is your hometown

[hoary quartz]

are you from overseas?

[hot nest]

no

[hoary quartz]

im from the east coast

[hot nest]

philadelphia

[hoary quartz]

delaware

[hot nest]

Do you fly there

[hoary quartz]

so i fly through philly

yes

[hot nest]

how much are tix

[hoary quartz]

but we never do a direct flgiht

like for winterbreak

i did a connector through ohare

in chicago

that reduces prices

[hoary quartz]

im not sure, cause my mom buys my tickets, but i hear that if you do it early

a couple months in advance

it is much better

[hot nest]

My options are Penn state or Purdue

[hoary quartz]

300 prices

[hot nest]

for electrical engineering

even though purdue is a wayyyy better school, im just worried that its far and in the middle of no where

and flying is a hassle

• 10k extra cost per year

its a tough choice

but i dont want to regret not going to purdue if i pick penn state

so im in a dilemma

[hoary quartz]

penn state is middle of nowhere

[hoary quartz]

youre always gonna regret something when choosing between 2 things in life

[hoary quartz]

based on the 49k a year coa?

or based on financial aid

if penn state is cheaper

id go there ngl

[hot nest]

Yes

purdue 49k and penn state 35k

[hoary quartz]

purdue is actually

40k

[hot nest]

how

[hoary quartz]

cause the 9k is the fuckass insane pricing of housing and food they use

which nobody actually has

and also transportation costs

and books

and random fees

you dont actually have

purdue for me for example costs like 38-39k

but i got scholarships to get it lower

[hot nest]

wdym no one uses the housing and food

[hot nest]

which ones?

If purdue was 38-39k for me I would attend

[hoary quartz]

to get 49k a year

you need the one of the most expensive housing

and most expensive food plan

[hot nest]

are you a freshman? What housing do you do

[hoary quartz]

12k a year + 7k a year

im a sophmore

freshman year i got a cheap housing

and i stayed in the room type

for sophmore year

my housing and food costs are like at most 10k combined

tuition is 28k

[inner smelt]

How long after deferral is a good time to send the loci? Would mid feb be too late?

[hoary quartz]

so im paying like 38k without scholarship

[hot nest]

What scholarship do you have

[hoary quartz]

two from delaware

purdue presidential scholarship as well

[hot nest]

Nice

So what is your personal coa

[hoary quartz]

like 20k

[hot nest]

thats a deal

[hoary quartz]

i know

its a bit more expensive that udel

but shit i took it for purdue

local scholarships come in clutch

[hot nest]

Are people mega tryhard

at purdue

[hoary quartz]

nah

its a normal rate

[hot nest]

i heard the people there are hella pretentious 😭

[hoary quartz]

theres always people at any school

who are pretentious

or try hard

[hot nest]

true

[hoary quartz]

but i think most people are chill

the school is so big

[hot nest]

Hows the diversity in engineering

[hoary quartz]

that theres thousands of one kind of person

[hoary quartz]

alot of asians

[hot nest]

is it a bunch of asians and males or is there variety

[hoary quartz]

not alot of hispanics

or black people

[hot nest]

expected

Are you asian

[hoary quartz]

no

im black

[hot nest]

Are there black people in other programs

[hoary quartz]

yea

theres around 3k black people

on campus

grad + undergrad

[hot nest]

how about male to female ratio

[hoary quartz]

more men than women on campus

but theres like 57-60k people

so theres tens of thousands of men

and tens of thousands of women

engineering just has less women than men

ece is much less

[hot nest]

I dont really mind the cold i just dont like dark depressing and gloomy weather

[hoary quartz]

its just how winter in the central lands are like

everywhere far from the coast

sucks

in winter

ill say the snow makes it nice tho

[hot nest]

yeah

do you live on campus or in apartment

[hoary quartz]

on campus

[hot nest]

are u going to get an apartment

[hoary quartz]

yes

[hot nest]

Also whats the difference with the most expensive food plan vs what you have

[hoary quartz]

unlimited meal swipes

vs my 10 meal swipes

a week

i get more dinig dollars tho

i rec the 10 meal swipes plan

[hot nest]

How do you eat 3 meals a day then

do you make food in your dorm

[trim herald]

You don’t

You won’t have time to

[hoary quartz]

i get 1-2 meals a day

[slow yew]

Got deferred from purdue

My life is over...

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-guess-ill-die-ill-die-gif-12053906

[safe spindle]

i liked the 10 it took some adjustment but i liked having a bunch of dining dollars. 14 is also a good option

[hoary quartz]

Nah

Jobs not done

[slow yew]

When does Purdue rd deffered results come out

[lunar cypress]

rolling

[slow yew]

Anyone know from previous cycles

[lunar cypress]

anytime between now and end of March you will get acceptance, end of march rejections/waitlists come out

[slow yew]

Hey dude so I submitted my loci yesterday so technically my decision can come out

This week???

[lunar cypress]

potentially? but don't go betting on it

[slow yew]

So like acceptances come rly quick and rejections and waitlist come later?

[lunar cypress]

just know you'll probably receive an email in this time frame no point in constantly anticipating it

[slow yew]

I'll get an email with my decision on it? No letter on my portal?

[lunar cypress]

you'll get an email saying your decision is on the portal

[slow yew]

Ahh i see so anytime between now and March 15th pretty much

[lunar cypress]

acceptances will come rolling, you could get one next week or march 15th nobody knows

[slow yew]

Oh alr thanks!

Hopefully I get in

Purdue rly is my top choice

I rly like cmu but it's too out of my league

[lunar cypress]

good luck!

[supple scroll]

there's just electrical engineering too

[junior relic]

EE and CompE are 2 separate major. we just call them ECE because theyre in the same school

[trail escarp]

electrical and construction engineering 🗣️

[supple scroll]

don't you have the choice between taking just like computer engineering and taking ece

[junior relic]

No tf

https://admissions.purdue.edu/academics/majors/?order=ASC&orderby=title&paged=2&custom_post_type=majors&college=college-of-engineering

[supple scroll]

i was just asking bro 😭😭

https://admissions.purdue.edu/majors/computer-engineering/

i was talking about this

and this

https://admissions.purdue.edu/majors/electrical-engineering/

are they not seperate

[junior sun]

i think they're separate? regardless isn't that an issue for after fye 😭

[supple scroll]

i was just asking because it makes no sense how you are forced to take something instead of the degree program you chose

it's not an issue im just confused by how she's phrasing it

[late stream]

PURDUE ACCEPT ME PLEASE

[true oriole]

does purdue need chemistry for comptuer engineering ??

i didnt take chem for year 11 and 12

[lunar cypress]

Same department (ECE), different major

Both majors take ECE classes and iirc a lot of the credits are transferrable between majors

[true oriole]

hi hows purdue going for u

[lunar cypress]

I'm too tired for this question I'll respond when i wake up lol

But it's going pretty well

[true oriole]

alright

[trail escarp]

i believe so its in the plan of study: https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/Academics/Undergraduate/majors/2022-23/CurriculumMaps/curriculum_map_CMPE

[true oriole]

am i cooked if i didnt take chemistry for 11th 12

[trail escarp]

chem isnt horrible tbh

at least thats what ive heard

[true oriole]

nono but like will they accept me?

[trail escarp]

oh i was saying people who are here have to take chem here

theyll def accept u if u dont, youll just have to take it here if u havent yet

[true oriole]

ahh thats fine

[slow yew]

Do yk which is better with better placements

[slow yew]

Has anyone already enrolled or are we all waiting for our rd decisions

[tulip musk]

rd?

ea

[lunar cypress]

wdym by placement

[slow yew]

Job placements

[hot nest]

If youre talking about AP Chem, I never took it and i got accepted

[hoary quartz]

They are the same degree until the second semester of sophomore year

[hoary quartz]

Do the chemistry test out?Don't do the chemistry at purdue.It is so bad your g p a will drop

[hoary quartz]

They are both the same thing for acceptances into the college. They are the same degree until junior year

[hoary quartz]

Major doesn't really matter for jobs.For real like that, I'll hope that matters.Is that you're qualified. Companies don't care that you're a computer engineer, an electrical engineer.They just want to know that you have the right experience for the position

Which is why just being a purdue engineer won't get you a job

Or it won't get you a job in a traditional sense

I always sell people who've been able to say things to other people.And get jobs, but if you have no experience, nobody's gonna hire you, not even mcdonald's

[true oriole]

U international? And engineering ?

[true oriole]

Lemme get in first then I’ll figure

I got deferred

[lunar cypress]

someone in my family has a chemE degree and now works at microsoft

your major doesn't mean shit to employers

if you're looking to work in ece you can get both ee and ce jobs with either an ee or ce degree

the skills are very interchangeable

[hoary quartz]

Yeah pretty much

Actually, it's to the point where if you're a mechanical engineer, you can also get electrical and computer engineering positions

It really just comes down to presenting yourself in a specific way

[junior sun]

guys how does housing selection work at purdue? can i anticipate how much it would cost approx?

cuz idk what to tell my parents. like im seeing them range from 2k to 20k LMFAO

id assume the honors dorms r more on the pricey-er end asw?

[untold lintel]

Wait does it teach more than ap chem?

[junior relic]

probs

[untold lintel]

I took chem and got a 5 last year and I was thinking I would just review before I went to college, do u think that's enough or should i not test out?

[junior relic]

https://www.housing.purdue.edu/my-housing/info/housing-rates.html

[junior relic]

are you going to take ap chem

[untold lintel]

I took it junior year

[junior relic]

oh

[junior sun]

so would an incoming frosh rank the room types? or could they pick the specific building n stuff

[junior relic]

yeah youll be fine the credit will probably transfer through

[untold lintel]

Ok thanks

[junior relic]

are you in honors

[junior sun]

yeah :V

[junior relic]

oh

then yeah just look at the honors rate

its really nice but pricey

brb laundry

[trim herald]

You’ll pribaky get an honors dorm then, look at that based on the prices

[junior sun]

oh found it! i was struggling to look for the filter lol

which meal plan(s) r u guys currently using, if yall dont mind me asking?

[trim herald]

10

Probably the best option

On the cheaper side, and you get more dining dollars

[junior relic]

i do 14 because im a fatass and cuz i cant stomach that much food at once so i have to do min 2 meals a day. bf does 10 cuz of the dining dollars and cuz he can live with one meal a day.

[hot nest]

no just out of state electrical engineering

[junior relic]

was walking back to my dorm after target run

[junior sun]

the bell tower's so pretty!! eeek

[junior relic]

this was back in oct when it was a bit warmer

[trim herald]

Yeah I’m not leaving my dorm today

Fuck that

-15

[true oriole]

Ur names Indian lol

[hoary quartz]

Fr

[hot nest]

Indian people can't be out of state residents?

[slow yew]

Jus realized how lucky u are btw

Every year like 50ish ppl get off the waitlist and somehow last year 96.7 percent got off

HOPEFULLY it's like that this year

[hoary quartz]

I don't know what that other dude is talking about

Maybe bro is not used to the idea that there's indian americans.I don't know

[hoary quartz]

Whqt state are you from

[hot nest]

PA

[true oriole]

Arey I’m just saying

[junior relic]

I needed to do laundry and I wanted candy

[junior sun]

yeha okay fuck this im 200% committing 😭😭😭

i gotta convince my parents tho... cuz im still waiting on gatech (prob wont get in) n my parents r kinda bummed purdue wont give intl schollys LOL

[true oriole]

ur stats r way too good for pudue i think

[hoary quartz]

Oh yeah the great state of philadelphia

[junior relic]

what was it

[hoary quartz]

No

[true oriole]

he dmed me

[hoary quartz]

they're perfect for purdue

[junior relic]

im ngl its only like the ivies and the small liberal arts colleges that give intl aid

[hoary quartz]

You need perseverance to succeed

What if ever happens happens

Whatever occurs will occur

[late stream]

Uncle Bits spitting facts

[junior relic]

im an intl ME soph at purdue. I had 1530 SAT (800 M)

[hoary quartz]

Sometimes dreams don't happen, and they go.Sometimes you get to live your dream

[junior relic]

i dont have a gpa tho

but i did do a levels

[hoary quartz]

Yeah, I did not have stats like that

[junior relic]

approx 3.88 GPA

[hoary quartz]

I am from a rural area.I just was the only person from my entire town to apply to this school ever

Bro, you are literally better than what I had for mechanical engineering

Except for the g p a but that doesn't matter

[late stream]

i have a 3.9 1490 (790-M)

i still got defereed

[junior relic]

yeah its getting more and more rough out here

[hoary quartz]

I had a 3.96, 1410(700 math)

Bro I hate math

[true oriole]

3.96 gpa is insane

[hoary quartz]

I'm so happy that after this summer or next semester, I never have to do math again

[true oriole]

how r u doing engineering then

[late stream]

and you do engineering???

[hoary quartz]

My high school had exam retakes

[true oriole]

ur international ?

[hoary quartz]

Most engineers do not like math

If we liked math, we would be math majors

[junior relic]

its like being force fed your favorite food every day kinda

[hoary quartz]

I'd like the fact that we make things

[true oriole]

where else did u get in?

[late stream]

lol, thats actually wild to hear

[hoary quartz]

And you just have to learn these complex ass math equations to make the things

[junior relic]

lemme pu my list

[hoary quartz]

Not really

[true oriole]

sure

[hoary quartz]

Look at it this way right

The engineering math we learn is really surface level compared to the math majors

[late stream]

can you send ir to me as well?

[hoary quartz]

We just learned enough to understand how to model things

[late stream]

if posiible

[hoary quartz]

The physics that we learned is way more important

[junior relic]

here

[hoary quartz]

I don't like physics

[true oriole]

u must've talked to other eng students at purdue right, how were their stats?

[hoary quartz]

Everyone had better stuff than me

[junior relic]

bro we're not fucking weirdos we dont talk about that on campus

its like

[true oriole]

why not UIUC

[hoary quartz]

If they were out of state

[junior relic]

got in for aero

did not want to do aero

[hoary quartz]

I haven't talked to anyone about that since first semester freshman year

[true oriole]

oh

[hoary quartz]

Who talks to people about that

[true oriole]

yeah ofc

[hoary quartz]

There are bigger fish to fry in our lives at this point

[junior relic]

i only applied for aero cuz it made sense with my essay LMFAO

[hoary quartz]

Four example, my dynamics homework, which I still have to do

[true oriole]

yeah but ffor me right now im WORIED ABOUT PRUDUE

[junior relic]

real

[hoary quartz]

Bro my essays were about star trek

[junior relic]

who cares bro princeton was my dream

[hoary quartz]

I'm going to restart the star trek club at purdue before I graduate

Bro dreams are meant to be broken

[junior relic]

fr

[hoary quartz]

My dream was to go into the aerospace industry

I'm not doing that anymore

[late stream]

if i get in ill help you

[true oriole]

@hoary quartz r u international

[hoary quartz]

No i'm from delaware

[true oriole]

oh

[hoary quartz]

I got my citizenship fast enough that I didn't have to apply international

Lucky me

Sorry for y'all, y'all actually do got a super tough, not gonna lie

[true oriole]

i might be cooked cuz with these stats international seems impossible for engineering

[late stream]

beam me up to Purdue Unc Bits

[hoary quartz]

No

[hoary quartz]

You do realize i'm younger than jamie

I am not the uncle, she is

[junior relic]

man sybau unc is a mindset

u r like 8 months younger

[true oriole]

i got deferred in EA

[hoary quartz]

I don't have an unc mindset.I have a mindset of struggle

[late stream]

exactly

[hoary quartz]

You're just gonna have to see how it goes

[late stream]

you speak like my unc ngl

[hoary quartz]

My mindset is literally pass my courses

I think it's just perspective

https://tenor.com/view/hello-azumanga-everyone-everynyan-gif-14645409028005790586

[true oriole]

yep, really worried until i get into any one of my dreams

lets hope

[hoary quartz]

It's better not to associate your full existence with a school

[junior relic]

real

[hoary quartz]

Because there's many ways to achieve a goals

[junior relic]

dream schools r not real

[hoary quartz]

A single school is not gonna be the reason why you succeed or not

[junior relic]

purdue was my backup lol

[hoary quartz]

It's what you do

It's how you act

And the ways that you present yourself that can lead you to success

[junior relic]

yer

[hoary quartz]

And I learned this from other people.You guys are calling me an unc for repeating the words.I've learned

[junior relic]

my bf's boss was a college dropout. hes doing great lol

running a rather successful business

[hoary quartz]

I met a mechanical engineer who went to school to be a mechanic

And then through career, he became a mechanical engineer

[true oriole]

but like networking and all depends on it a lot

its a great pathway

[hoary quartz]

I met a john deere recruiter who went to school for marketing.But then changed her career within john deere, and became an electrical controls engineer

[junior relic]

wtf

[hoary quartz]

I'm not even gonna lie to you like. I don't know how to network. And nobody be networking like that.Besides business students

[junior relic]

u just gotta network harder

[hoary quartz]

She told me that she should have really become an engineer.But she's happy that this is the way it played out

[hoary quartz]

U da real network

[junior relic]

mmmm

huh

i have no network i just stalk person

[true oriole]

oh wait what? arent ull gonna start a venture or anything

[hoary quartz]

No

[true oriole]

yeah

[hoary quartz]

I don't have that in my soul

I'm trying to get a job in industry

[junior sun]

thank you uncle bits ❤️‍🩹

[true oriole]

y not

im gonna in my first year

[hoary quartz]

Most people at this school are trying to get jobs in industry or research

[junior sun]

im so tired of ppl telling me im too good for purdue like

[hoary quartz]

There is not as big of a venture capitalist or startup culture

[junior sun]

im genuinely shocked i got in

[true oriole]

my seniors and mentors have recommened to start a venture first year

[junior sun]

purdue is NOT an easy school, esp for engr

[hoary quartz]

Hey hey bro, you can do all that

[junior sun]

but evereyone thinks it's soooo easy for some reason

[hoary quartz]

I spent my first year struggling

I spend most of this year struggling

And i'm starting to not struggle

[true oriole]

only engineering, cs and data science are extremely comeptitive

[hoary quartz]

No

Bro, so much of the school is competitive

You don't even know it bro

[true oriole]

😭

[hoary quartz]

This school is full of the most academically high brow individuals, i've ever met in my life

[junior sun]

ppl always underestimate purdue and it bugs me bruhh

[hoary quartz]

It'll be the random student you see, and you learned that they're actually working with nasa in the sociology department

[junior sun]

i try to defend purdue every time but it js gets tiring after some point

[junior relic]

this only applies in the CoE and CS majors #shade

[hoary quartz]

Learning to figure how how human societies could develop

[hoary quartz]

I think the agriculture people are pretty cool

[junior relic]

broski i underestimate purdue's other schools

[hoary quartz]

Especially agricultural engineering

[junior relic]

depends

[true oriole]

yeah

[junior relic]

ABE is an exception

[hoary quartz]

Like those guys are really the middle ground between them

[junior relic]

ag is like

idk

[hoary quartz]

I also like liberal arts because they have really cool classes

Like, you could take a history of aerospace

[junior relic]

CLA majors are so fucking insufferable

[hoary quartz]

But because i'm gonna be staying in the african american studies courses.I'm gonna be glazing them

Oh I don't like the major people

The people in the majors are really, really interesting. But they're really hi brow

[junior relic]

i have no problem with purdue colleges. its the people in them

whats hi brow

[hoary quartz]

And the people in art are going through worse situations than we are

[junior relic]

art is insane

[hoary quartz]

I'm I don't know why the hell their courses require.Such high time commitments

[junior relic]

idk why youd go through that willingly

[hoary quartz]

Bro, someone told me that intro.The photography requires twenty hours a week of time and lab

[junior relic]

its the soph review for some of them too

[hoary quartz]

In*

Like good god

[junior sun]

oh yeah jamie i js found out today that stanford aero doesnt even have abet

[junior relic]

ive thought abotu taking it

but i realized that im in engineering

[hoary quartz]

It's an intro course ☠️

[junior relic]

yeah onliy their Civil and ME does

[junior sun]

maybe getting rejected from stanford was a blessing im ngl 😭

or im prob js coping

but the rejection stings less now

[hoary quartz]

Jamie

[junior relic]

i wouldve hated stanford

fucing startup cculture

cancer

[hoary quartz]

I wasn't talking to person, who was an aerospace engineer for 3 years at purdue

[junior relic]

bits

[hoary quartz]

And then they switched to mechanical engineer technology

[junior relic]

why

[hoary quartz]

Main reason is because they saw the riding on the wall of of the aerospace industry

[junior relic]

writing?

on the wall?

[hoary quartz]

If they realized that if their job disappeared for any reason regarding a layoff

Yes

The writing on the wall

[junior relic]

what

ok

[hoary quartz]

You know that figure of speech right?

[junior relic]

that can happen to any job no?

[hoary quartz]

Yeah, but they have it worse, because nasa's losing a little bit of funding every year

And half of the industry is just beholden to nasa

[junior relic]

ah

[hoary quartz]

They also didn't like the people that they would have to spend their careers with

They were telling me how m e t was so much easier than ara

Aero

And I was like, you must be the most qualified mechanical engineering technologist there ever was

[junior relic]

met ppl are interesting most of the met coworkers i have are in hot works or blacksmithing

[trim herald]

I don't understand how you walk from meredith to target fuck that

[junior relic]

yea

[junior relic]

*shreve

[trim herald]

Earhart is just as far and i just could not do that

[junior relic]

lets just say i have a super warm coat

[hoary quartz]

Yeah i'm not going outside today

[trim herald]

Damm next door

[junior relic]

ure a dude right

[hoary quartz]

And tomorrow morning I got a bike from a cary to matthews hall

[trim herald]

yuh

[hoary quartz]

And I don't wanna do that

[junior relic]

we should meet up with bits for food if you want

[junior relic]

nvm i know 2 girls in earhart

[trim herald]

I would be down later i'm bout to go hoop

[hoary quartz]

You know i'm finally met fuzzy

Like it happened on saturday, and I was like, wow

[trim herald]

gotta walk outside in mf shorts

[junior relic]

not today today is lock in day for me. i need shit sorted by like 730pm so i can go movie night with bf

[trim herald]

aight bet sounds good another time then

it's going to be so cold out ther

i hate myself

[junior sun]

i heard theres a snowstorm or storm or smth coming to the midwest soon, right?

esp indiana

but i think uiuc is affected too probs

[trim herald]

i don't see any stormy weather on the forecast

A messy winter storm is targeting the Midwest and Northeast late this week. Snow, sleet, and freezing rain could impact areas from Illinois to New York. Prepare now for difficult travel conditions on Friday and Saturday.

idk i saw this while doomscrolling today 😭

[true oriole]

anyone here who got into their alternate major??

do they really consider alternate major

cuz my shot for CE looks unlikely but i really dont mind going for my alternate major : robotics

[junior relic]

Didn’t even apply to alt major iirc

[true oriole]

for my LOCI should i talk about my alternate major to increases my chances there and play safe

[junior relic]

Bro are you that desperate. Polytechnic and Civil? Are very different

Unless you’re talking about CompE

CE is civil

[true oriole]

COmp E

😭

not civil man

[junior relic]

Oh

What other school did you apply to

[junior sun]

whys it ur dream school? if u dont mind me asking

i like learning abt other ppl lol :>

[junior relic]

Fr

Purdue was my backup choice and I’ve grown to love it

It’s only my backup because I had unconditional offer somewhere else

I’m not cocky I swear

[junior sun]

would u still pick it over uiuc lol

[true oriole]

UMICH ED - deferred
Northeastern
Uwash
UCs
UW madison
U maryland
Vtech

[junior sun]

some ppl at uiuc r tryna convince me to hate on purdue w them and join the dark side

😭

[junior relic]

For sure. UIUC was initially higher up but I chose Purdue at the end because of gut feeling and price lowk

[true oriole]

UIUC as well but RD

[true oriole]

UIUC is better

[junior relic]

I like the Purdue community

[junior sun]

omg purdue js feels so right in my gut too. or maybe it's bc i've grown to know sm about purdue that i came to love it

and sure ig i could learn abt any other school but

idk my heart's at purdue man

i genuinely feel terrible imagining myself going anywhere else

[true oriole]

umm
its one of the top of engineering
a school which ive a decent shot at getting in, rest all dream skls are way too difficult for me like UMich and UIUC. Purdue was the only high target but i got deferrred
campus is solid and a lot of internationals

[junior sun]

wait @junior relic hypothetically (i def didnt get in) but gt or purdue?

i've lowk been stressing over nothing and i'd deadass pick purdue over any other school cuz the vibes js feel right but

[true oriole]

yeah i get what u mena

mean

[junior sun]

idk if i'm making the right choice to decide that i'd pick purdue no matter what

[junior relic]

Bro my reasoning was deadass “Purdue people seem happier” despite never setting foot on either campus

[true oriole]

u just got to wait now. wait for all acceptances then start worrying about what to choose

but now atleast u can relax man

[junior relic]

GT was higher up in my choices

But honestly it’s about the same

[junior sun]

counterexample: uncle bits 😭

[junior relic]

Dude I’m depressed too

[junior relic]

I’d pick Purdue if I didn’t have family near ATL

[junior sun]

so the issue is... i do have family in atlanta apparently 💀

oh well idt im getting into gatech anw so i won't worry until then

i think i'm js procrastinating sm that my mind is wandering all sorts of places LMFAO

[trim herald]

Why’s it so cold out

[junior sun]

but i do love purdue sm. i really really hope i'm able to commit and join u guys this fall :D

[trim herald]

You won’t enjoy this weather though

[junior sun]

yalls temperature is like

colder than a freezer or sum 😭

[trim herald]

-15 F rn

[hoary quartz]

My alternative major was electrical engineering

I am so happy.I'm not an electrical engineer

[junior sun]

bruh this uiuc student is sending me purdue slander reels help

[junior relic]

Bro you’re right next to my room kinda. I go to my rook through a door next to that phot

[junior relic]

What’s it talking about we can discuss

You must be a rational Purdue simp

[junior relic]

That’s not even proper criticism

Sure our gyms aren’t that full most days because the engineering and cs curriculums are actually demanding

And that’s what most people are here for I think

[junior sun]

also according to him, purdue stinks (while grainger doesn't)

😭

[junior relic]

No

We’re alright

[slow yew]

passing up uiuc for purdue is criminal

i would go UIUC over purdue 10/10 TIMES

[junior relic]

its meche so its like

[slow yew]

id withdraw my deferral from purdue for uiuc ece

[junior relic]

whatever

and like

[slow yew]

🤤

[junior relic]

i got in UIUC AAE as an international

[slow yew]

isnt that harder to get into

[junior relic]

i dont regret a thing

[slow yew]

than purdue fye

[junior relic]

ok and?

[slow yew]

and better ranked

and uiuc pushes for co-ops

[junior relic]

oh

[slow yew]

for all engineers

[junior relic]

im intl

so like

its cooked

for aero

[slow yew]

oh right u need govt clearance for certain internships and shi right

or smth

[junior relic]

im still lowk proud for that cuz i got uiuc rd

[slow yew]

dang

[junior relic]

most internships

for aero

im ngl bro id like to believe im doing decent as a soph

[slow yew]

If i get uiuc EA, ill withdraw VT, Purdue, UW Mad, UMD, and RICE ED2

[junior relic]

but im not getting shit

[slow yew]

ill prolly insta enroll ngl

UIUC CompE, EE is so peak

[slow yew]

dang

how many u apply to

[junior relic]

didnt track

not enough apparently

[slow yew]

dang

is VT aero good?

do yk?

[true oriole]

oh even ur deferred from purdue

clg of engineering?

[slow yew]

yup ece engineering intl student

[true oriole]

even i am deferred for CE

[slow yew]

submitted my LOCI like 2 days ago

[true oriole]

😭

[true oriole]

already?

[slow yew]

yeah ts rough twin

yup

[true oriole]

u from india?

[slow yew]

i did my research and submitted pretty early cuz i wanna be seen first for rolling

ye

[true oriole]

yeah looks like purdue deferred all from india for clg of engineering

lol

[slow yew]

no no

some ppl from my state got in fye

[slow yew]

did u get any other decisions yet?

[true oriole]

where u from

[true oriole]

UMass amherst

[slow yew]

did u get in

[true oriole]

how r ur stats looking like

[slow yew]

dms

[true oriole]

yep

[true oriole]

alright

[true oriole]

ik people w insane stats getting deferred for engineering

[junior relic]

its a fit thing

i guess

[hoary quartz]

I would never go to that school. All the things I thought uiuc was purdue is

[hoary quartz]

Everywhere does that

[hoary quartz]

You need to be a little bit insane to come to the school

[crisp pulsar]

Do you think it could have anything to do with demonstrated interest?
