Purdue University (2025-2026)

[crisp pulsar]

Considering they're also pushing for indianapolis applicants

[hoary quartz]

they are doing so much

to scam yall with indy

they want you to pay 49k a year for 3 buildings

all your buildings are about 25 years away from being built

[crisp pulsar]

The first thing asked of me in my loci was "do you want to switch do indy? You'll get faster decision"

[hoary quartz]

theyll also scam you of everything you know and love

[slow yew]

lol

this

[slow yew]

thats why i did

on my LOCI

[hoary quartz]

there are always people

who do that

and they always get dissapointed

theres a dude on the purdue server

who turned down yale

for purdue indianapolis

shit boggles the mind

but it seems hes making big moves

[slow yew]

yale ee is so doggy

like bhao bhao doggy

[crisp pulsar]

For purdue WL id understand

Indy is crazy

[true oriole]

no way

why would he

[hoary quartz]

we told him

not to do that

[slow yew]

dude

[true oriole]

yeah

[hoary quartz]

but he was truly the first soul

[slow yew]

Yale EE is so ass

[hoary quartz]

who ever wanted to willingly

go to purdue indy

[true oriole]

why tho

[slow yew]

so doggy

[hoary quartz]

its better than purdue indy

literally anything is better than purdue indy

[slow yew]

yeah that is true but the yale price tag

[hoary quartz]

purdue indy a bigger scam

also yale got fiancial aid

[slow yew]

true

CMU is the goat of ECE and jus engineering in general

[hoary quartz]

well it depends

since as the cmu people pointed out

they dont really got ee like that

over there

[faint path]

What were ur predicteds?

[hoary quartz]

this place is better

[junior relic]

3A*1A i think

math fm phy chem

i dont rmb

[hoary quartz]

what do those words mean

[faint path]

Damn i had 3As predicted, and got defered maths phys and chem asw

[hoary quartz]

why cant the brits and their derivative systems use normal grade measurements

like numbers

or letters

whats with the stars

[faint path]

Like A+

[hoary quartz]

"jolly wiz, i just got 3 a stars'

[hoary quartz]

yes

[crisp pulsar]

Wdym?

[junior relic]

[delicate iron]

officially accepting offer means you pay 500$ right? so i can make mypurude portal wihtout accepting?

[slow yew]

But Purdue don't got that cmu job opportunity and quite frankly the aura that a cmu ece degree comes with

[hoary quartz]

yes we do

we are one of the top semiconductor schools

i reccommend you educate yourself

[near horizon]

Generally big state schools are as good as private schools

[hoary quartz]

purdue got job opportunities

[near horizon]

The general areas where CMU is better than Purdue are CS/statml/data science and business/econ

[hoary quartz]

theres a reason lafayette surroundings is full of companies

rolls royce

catapillar

[near horizon]

Subaru

[hoary quartz]

ge aerospace

yea

alot of students are learning while working

[near horizon]

When I got in my friend was like “you can work at Subaru now!!”

[trail escarp]

rolls royce has unmatched aura

[near horizon]

Nah I’m from the pacific northwest… Subaru had more aura

Has*

[trail escarp]

the oregonians with the outbacks 🗣️

[lunar cypress]

for the record: something similar did happen last year too

that almost all applicants got deferred from my indian high school for CoS and CoE

wouldn't say a regional thing though

don't withdraw until you're closer to decision day (may 1)

you could always use a fallback in case you get an (unlikely) rescind

you don't gain anything from premature withdrawals

[onyx fossil]

indian

or indiana

yeah withdraw right ebfore you confrim enrollment

oh you mean indian

[lunar cypress]

india, the country

[opaque olive]

oh youre indian?

[lunar cypress]

yeah! i did IB though

[opaque olive]

oh nice!!

[junior sun]

yeowch ib

[near horizon]

Purdiddy

[lunar cypress]

ib was fun, don't regret taking it

also look !!

[junior sun]

eeeek the discount den!!

[hoary quartz]

i am near this thing

but i have never been to it

[true oriole]

Did they get accepted later ?

What was the acceptenance rate for all those deferrals

[true oriole]

Which major r u doing at Purdue rn?

[fair kernel]

How much does Purdue weigh in essays

[junior sun]

hey uncle bits, srry for the necro, but could u tell us a bit more abt what purdue liberal arts courses r like? cuz id also be super interested in taking courses on feminism/womens rights in college

like r most the ppl there js engineering students taking these courses for the love of the game, or..?

and are they more on the chill side of ur courses, or do they require lots of work?

[hoary quartz]

I think a lot of people take their courses for the fact that it's easy and then there's a good portion of people who take it, because they want to

[lunar cypress]

to new admits: consider the weather

i somehow adjusted decently well despite being from a tropical country

i know some people from similar climates as mine who absolutely suffer though

[hoary quartz]

the cold sucks

[supple scroll]

please say this is celsius

[trim herald]

No

[supple scroll]

aw man

[near horizon]

I’m from Seattle this is nothing

I’m more scared about the heat

[trim herald]

It’s bad for about 2 weeks

Then it’s fine

[hoary quartz]

1-5 weeks

we started late this year

but when we start usually in early august

it sucks ass

[lunar cypress]

Fahrenheit

[unique owl]

Bro I’m from Texas and I’m horrified

I’m scared for the cold

The heat boutta be nonexistent here

[tired zinc]

It’s like in the negatives for me

So I honestly don’t mind that much lol

[trail escarp]

this is in Fahrenheit btw

friday is about to be horrible

[trail escarp]

coldest its ever gotten in seattle is -1 degrees F in 1950

the heat isnt rly that bad tbh, its the cold here thats scary

[slow yew]

If i get in rice ed 2 no purdue 😭😭😭😭

[pure tartan]

where do u see purdue finanical aide

[pure tartan]

its gonna be so fucking cold this weekend

[near horizon]

fair enough... what i mean is like ive lived through 18 winters of 15-20

[unique owl]

I’m lowkey praying school gets cancelled for me on Friday

[pure tartan]

where in tx r u

[unique owl]

DFW area lol

[unique owl]

Wbu

[pure tartan]

same here

[onyx fossil]

i live mn

its all good

onf ridya its supspoed to be -24

[pure tartan]

usually plano or frisco cancels first and then the rest of them cancel

[unique owl]

Usually Plano cancels the quickest

So maybe

🙏🙏🙏

Pls

[pure tartan]

yea

its looking like monday canceled but friday school

[unique owl]

We shall see

[lunar cypress]

oh my god

i am scared of minnesota now

to think i almost committed there until my purdue acceptance LOL

[onyx fossil]

LMFAOOO

yeha its cold as hell

[unique owl]

Is that Fahrenheit 😰😰😰

I’d actually collapse there bro

[onyx fossil]

u think?

-15 f

-25 c

[inner smelt]

When are the first rd decisions supposed to come out?

[near horizon]

they alraedy did come out

its rolling from jan 15 to march 31st

i think i've heard of someone getting an rd decision back already... but likely because they applied pretty close to the ea deadlien

[tawdry nebula]

Depends

[tawdry nebula]

But it’s usually fridays

[inner smelt]

Oh cool

Do you know when to start expecting rd decisions for deferred students?

[opaque olive]

its rollling so just look out for emails!

[alpine garden]

anyone know how bad ur grades have to be before purdue rescinds?

[chrome quarry]

nah I know like ten people from my school

[true oriole]

what major

[chrome quarry]

me or the ten people

[true oriole]

ten people who got into clg of engineering

[chrome quarry]

they had a mix of mechE, compE, IE

[true oriole]

which state ?

[true oriole]

they got into for west lafayette or indiana ?

[chrome quarry]

WL

[true oriole]

where from india

[chrome quarry]

dms don't want to dox myself

[true oriole]

alright

[trail escarp]

just pass ur classes and youll be fine

purdue rescinds for bad behavior, generally not for bad grades

[onyx fossil]

oh fr

so if i get straight c’s id be okay

[slow yew]

or yk jus study and dont get Cs

[trail escarp]

yeah youll be fine

my friend had emailed admissions about it, as long as you graduate (and dont do something illegal) you can come

i mean ofc try to not get straight Cs but purdue in particular i dont think cares too much

[junior sun]

hey does anyone here have experience being a purdue ra?

[trim herald]

@safe spindle

[safe spindle]

hello

[junior sun]

i'm trying to estimate my hypothetical costs for (total 4 yrs at) purdue rn. i heard purdue RAs r compensated super well, but are also quite restricted by the contract? would u say being an RA at purdue is doable and worth it?

i dunno if i should even consider RAing during undergrad. the benefits sound too good to be true 😭

like what is this "u can only spend 10 nights a year outside your dorm" rule i'm seeing on reddit 💀🙏

(for RAs)

[safe spindle]

that is blatantly false

[safe spindle]

we are compensated quite well (room & board, 6.7k off of your tuition, and a 1.5k stipend to you) that being said it is extremely competitive

[trim herald]

Wait you get free room and board and 6.7k off tuition??

[safe spindle]

yes

[trim herald]

wtf

So that’s like 17k off??

Depending on where you live

[safe spindle]

sure yeah

[trim herald]

DAMM WTF

That’s insane

[near horizon]

Why are we obsessed with this bruh

[onyx fossil]

😀

ideally

[cold burrow]

I'm sorry gng it's Q3 senior year

that is not an option gng 😭

[meager belfry]

erm guys

i applied and got into the wrong purdue

is there a way for me to try to get into west or am i fried

[trim herald]

Fried most likely
I’m Ngl

[meager belfry]

Sad

Bro I wrote my essays on west

But on common app I applied to the other one 🥀

Ig I pray I get into UT

[cold burrow]

does West campus have separate admissions criteria?

[near horizon]

much higher bar

[cold burrow]

ahhhh

[near horizon]

😭

at least you probably get in

[meager belfry]

i mean i got in thats the problem 💀

i got into indianiapolis

i wanna go to west 💀

[hoary quartz]

Fried

[hoary quartz]

There's like less than twenty people who get in from the transfer list

Well, it could be more than twenty, but it's not any big

If you get into indy, you're most likely stuck in indy

[meager belfry]

yea i emailed them so prob stuck

[supple scroll]

do you think it's easier to transfer to west laf or switch into engineering

[near horizon]

swithc into eng

lmaoo

[hoary quartz]

Switch into engineering

There's a reason why they are trying to get y'all to go to indianapolis, and it's because you will become their money cow

[dull prawn]

if i got deferred, what does that mean for my honors college admission? I'm wondering because I might talk about it in my loci

[fair kernel]

@trail escarp you know looking back at it im surprised my essay worked

my supplementals were nice but

the ending to my personal statement was very risky

i submitted it everywhere

[trail escarp]

when’s UT coming out lol

[fair kernel]

3 weeks ish

[fair kernel]

idk if i told you but i quoted playboi carti at the end of my essay

that was the risky part

and i mentioned his name which to be honest was the brunt of it 😭

[trail escarp]

gllll

[trail escarp]

Hey it seemed to work for purdue lol

[fair kernel]

indeed

maybe UT? 💔

nonzero chance they just dont read my application and throw it out the window

[fair kernel]

dyou like edm

[trail escarp]

noo u got this

[trail escarp]

not rly 😔 😔

sad music my beloved

[fair kernel]

bruh

you're like someoen i know

except they listen to alex g

have you listened to alex g

youd prolly like him

https://open.spotify.com/track/5929FDWnpH9r43JqA6OGVG?si=cf5a8e7917404ba5

[trail escarp]

YEAH

😭

[fair kernel]

knew it

[trail escarp]

Goat

[solemn orbit]

Did anyone get their aid package yet

[worthy trout]

say bye to purdue bro ngl 💀

highkey impossible to transfer

you got a better chance of transferring from some random community college to purdue than from indy to wl

[noble ibex]

nope

[hoary quartz]

if you didnt get it in the letter

you didnt get it at all

[solemn orbit]

I dont care about merit aid

Does purdue not give need based aid

Okay I reran the npc and I cant afford it I doubt it will be different in march

[hoary quartz]

nope

theyre a public school

[solemn orbit]

Unc gives financial aid ops

Unc gives more aid than my instate school

[noble ibex]

Nope. It clearly says in the letter that financial aid comes out later. Only merit-based scholarships are included in the letter

[safe spindle]

while this is true I would generally not expect to receive any financial aid if youre OOS. Purdue keeps their base costs (comparatively) low so there is less of a need to have finaid

that aid you might get say as an oos student for UNC will probably lead you to still having a higher coa at UNC than purdue bc thehre most expensive up front

[dull prawn]

anybody know?

[near horizon]

talk about it

I'm not expert but taking the time to write fooking 500 word essays shows your interest.

[dull prawn]

yea a big reason why I applied honors was that it shows interest lol

[cold burrow]

I really should've applied but I was too much of a bum to do it

[quasi oasis]

honors college at purdue isnnt worth it i heard tbf

[cold burrow]

oh nvm then

[torn haven]

oh is it like too much workload?

should i do it first year tho

[quasi oasis]

i heard most people drop it

if they do it

[safe spindle]

its not a large workload at all but many people only join for the housing and thus drop after fresgman year

[torn haven]

oh ok

lowk prob gonna do that if i go there

[opal plinth]

purdue data science (applied ce first choice) or UF (choose any major i would like)

which would be a better option in terms of jobs and connections

[hoary quartz]

this is like comparing apples to oranges

its down to preference

a major is not gonna determine if youll get connections or not

thats more about who you are as a person

[alpine garden]

@hoary quartz have u went to the Purdue admitted students events?

[hoary quartz]

nah

theres a couple things i shoulda done

in restrospect

do it if youre interested

like the tours and all

[alpine garden]

is purdue for me event worth skipping school to go to? or should I just wait till spring break to do the regular admitted student event that is shorter

[hoary quartz]

um

its been a while

but i think the regular admitted student thing

is also good

if youre for sure about purdue

might as well wait

but ask the other folks here

as well

[true oriole]

im confused what to include in my LOCI, what if I havent done anything after i submitted the application? Ive been too busy finishing IB coursework

[fair hamlet]

then don't submit a loci

it's not required

[supple scroll]

i heard that it was basically just an info session and you don't really do much and you make more friends and stuff during committed student orientation

so basically if you want to learn more it's worth it

[junior relic]

you make friends along the way lol

i think its very loser of u to still be friends with ur orientation group

past like 1st semester

[true oriole]

in the LOCI ive seen people talk about "why purdue" again. Something more you found out about it since applying. Do you think talking about that will be fine or it could reduce my chances?

[fringe remnant]

Really

I think my group was the one exception of bgr

[junior relic]

I’m projecting off of l*gan

[fringe remnant]

Most of us are still in decent contact with each other lol

My take is as long as you make new friends and meet other people as well aside from bgr, it’s fine

If your friend group is solely bgr people past sem 1, gg’s

[junior relic]

Yeah his friend group is still BGR. Hasn’t expanded past that

[fringe remnant]

That’s wraps

[junior relic]

Yet I still crash out over him dawg

[fringe remnant]

Yeah bgr was fun and all and times were great

But we can’t be living like that forever

[fringe remnant]

The one thing that never changes in this university is crashouts

[junior relic]

No daily third street raves? ☹️

[fringe remnant]

There is always something to crash out about

[fringe remnant]

I forgot about those lol

They were funny

[junior relic]

When I’m not crashing over him I’m crashing out over grades dawg

[fringe remnant]

I crash out about everything lol

Life ain’t it

This weather about to make me crash out

And the fact that Purdue basketball ain’t cooking rn

[junior relic]

Real

[fringe remnant]

Genuinely have seasonal depression now lol

The one thing that I love crashing out about is the Indiana gene pool

Like half the instate people have multiple dopplegangers

Genuinely

[junior relic]

They’re like Mormons

[hoary quartz]

yea

its uncanny

im crashing out over dynamics

[fringe remnant]

Fr

[hoary quartz]

and having to do laundry in the snow

[fringe remnant]

Ong

That’s what happens when you live in a place that people don’t want to usually move to

Like Indiana as a state is a bunch of people who have been here for generations

[hoary quartz]

yea

[fringe remnant]

So that’s why we get the Indiana gene pool

[hoary quartz]

its like utah for midwesterners

[fringe remnant]

Cause there is no huge swings in diversity

[fringe remnant]

Pretty much

In my engr 396 seminar, there was a speaker who was born in the town I live in and I asked him why did your family move from Jersey to Indiana

He said his parents were midwesterners and they missed Indiana

[junior sun]

guys how's the weather at purdue 😔

heard yall got exploding trees in the midwest

[fringe remnant]

Horrible

[fringe remnant]

That’s just Minnesota

It’s so cold out

And it’s supposed to snow nonstop from now into most of tomorrow

[hoary quartz]

absolutely horrible

its snowing

and im doing laundry

[junior sun]

i heard ppl have been freezing toilet paper n eggs n stuff

[hoary quartz]

literally all bro needed to do is move to south jersey

[fringe remnant]

Fr

South Jersey has the right amount of farm to be rural but also be somewhat suburban

God bless the northeast lol

Most goated region

[junior sun]

also i was sleeping... what happened ⁉️😭

[trim herald]

Had bad bad

[slow yew]

Holy uiuc aura

[junior sun]

smh we'll see in march

[slow yew]

Nah lemme get in uiuc first, idc enough rn

I needa be on the colleges side first

[opaque olive]

RUTGERS WINNING IN MARCH (we're like 15th in the B1G)

[hearty parcel]

Purdue values interest unlike other schools. It’s recommended to submit a letter and updated scores and/or midyear grades

[trim herald]

#purdue’sbetter

[fair hamlet]

Oh shoot i forgor this was Purdue megathread

thought it was Mich when I sent that

[slow yew]

Nah uiuc clears Purdue imma keep it a buck

[hoary quartz]

no they dont

uiuc is cool to the uninitated

their only saving grace

is that they have more parties

but thats it

[trim herald]

In what way?

Keeping it a buck

[slow yew]

Almost every way better rankings, placements, living experience, weather, easier transportation

Name 3 ways it isnt better

[near horizon]

lowk transportation wise it has to be purdue

i guess chicago connects everywhere tho if you mean it lke that

[hoary quartz]

Purdue has a better transportation system

We are literally counted as bike heaven by a bunch of different walkability.Rating systems

Everywhere is walkable, literally everywhere

In some parts of campus, there's three degrees of motion bro

[trim herald]

Lmao, colleges are better at different things purude is better at UIUC than a lot of degrees and vice Versa

And def not easier transportation

It’s farther from Chicago than we are

We also have a closer airport

And weather is the same

[hoary quartz]

they are literally like an hour and a half away from purdue

the weather is exactly the same

remember these places are not far from each other

[hoary quartz]

again rankings are kinda subjective and really come down to your own preference, placements between both schools are damn near the same. alot of overlap

they are really the most similar school to us

[trim herald]

Anyways being a ratings chaser is just going to lead to bad things lmao

[hoary quartz]

yep

ngl i didnt know jack about these two colleges

but i liked their campuses

now i realized i confused purdue's campus for uiuc

so in the long run i always liked purdue

[hoary quartz]

how you feeling with all the snowy weather rn

[trim herald]

I like it, it’s chill so far I’m going to hilly brunch in a bit so I’ll have to venture out into that

[slow yew]

woah owah woah placements and rankings, purdue doesnt not come "damn near the same"

[hoary quartz]

it is the same

rankings are kinda irrelevant

and change depending on which school says they are

every school says theyre number 1 in something

its not true

but its what they advertise

rankings are advertisements

[slow yew]

UIUC reserves seats for Co-ops and internships for BsC students and there advisiors give more referreals which im sure happen at purdue too

[hoary quartz]

things to make you think youre about to go to somewhere awesome and cool

[hoary quartz]

we also have contractally obligated co-op relationships with companies

[slow yew]

unpaid?

[hoary quartz]

no theyre paid

thats why we have the career fair

[slow yew]

ahhh i see

[hoary quartz]

the co-op career fair

they have to hire people from that fair

so you got better chances to get in

[slow yew]

what r the avg odds of a person getting it

[hoary quartz]

really depends on what each company is looking for

and how qualified a candidate is

someone will get a job

or a set of people will

[slow yew]

what about summer research opportunity placements if u know anything about that?

[hoary quartz]

but it really comes down to how well you did on your interview, if you made an impact on recruiters, and if youre qualified

[slow yew]

yup

[hoary quartz]

if you network with professors and they like you enough, youll get summer research

since the funding thing from the government

more profs want to be sure of their students

so folks with relationships or those who impress the profs

are more likely to get t

same as any school

you gotta learn how to sift through advertisement

[slow yew]

i see

[hoary quartz]

and find the real information

yea uiuc most likely has some perks on us

[slow yew]

what about some of these programs like MSRP, RISS

[hoary quartz]

and we got some perks on them

[slow yew]

yeah fair

[hoary quartz]

not familiar with those

[slow yew]

mit summer research program, cmu's summer research program

[slow yew]

alr

[hoary quartz]

purdue's is called purdue surf

[slow yew]

is this only for undergraduates or ppl coming into college fall 2026 eligible?

[hoary quartz]

you gotta be a college studet to do it

cause the application opens in december

so once you start your first semester

youre eligeble

[slow yew]

i see

[trail escarp]

I would guess all the top research unis place about the same with marginal differences

Unless like mit cmu Berkeley, the rest would presumably be the same

I see purdue students quite often as former participants of a lot of programs I look into

[slow yew]

alr good to know!

[crisp pulsar]

would you think UIUC is a better school for research?

[hoary quartz]

idk

i dont go there

[crisp pulsar]

Fair enough

[hoary quartz]

i think you can research anywhere

and be fine

the same advice to get research works in most public schools

[crisp pulsar]

Obviously but some schools are better for it than others

[hoary quartz]

really depends on what research youre interested in

each school has a set of research fields and niches that theyre really invested in

[crisp pulsar]

Quantum hardware

[hoary quartz]

that is something you might wanna ask on the purdue discord itself

weirdly enough theres uiuc people there

[crisp pulsar]

I see

[hoary quartz]

you might get your answer there

[crisp pulsar]

[trim herald]

Mine wasn’t great but 0.8 how do you achieve that

[junior relic]

Ask him vro

He failed applied calc I iirc

https://catalog.purdue.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=18&poid=32170&hl=%25%2522&returnto=search

[trim herald]

You just skip out of calc 2 prolly

[slow yew]

oh alr cool

[trim herald]

Also depends on your major

[slow yew]

ece

i might take linear first sem if possible cuz i rly wana do it

heard its rly interesting

[junior relic]

Fuck no

[trim herald]

You’ll probably have to take calc 3 first

[junior relic]

Linear can suck my dick and balls

[junior relic]

No

[trim herald]

Ah okay idk the engineering math path lmao

[slow yew]

oh, well my brother and his friends said its the most interesting math class

they got A- and As on it

[junior relic]

I got b

I like calculus better lowk

[slow yew]

were u not locked?

[junior relic]

???

[slow yew]

uhhh not to be wierd but arent u female?

[slow yew]

like locked in

[junior relic]

Have you considered that I’m stupid

[junior relic]

Yeah sure

[trim herald]

Bro

College calc 2 is way harder than Hs Calc 2

Like don’t even compare the 2

[slow yew]

oh

[slow yew]

well imma jus skip it

[trim herald]

Yeah if you get a 4 or 5

[slow yew]

i got a 4 easy

hopefully in may

im taking E&M and BC

first APs ever

[trim herald]

Okay

[junior relic]

Broski you must understand sometimes shit is hard

[trim herald]

^

College calc 2 is worlds harder than HS calc lmao

[junior relic]

I came out of thermo and dynamics with B- and a C

And I’m just so glad that it’s over

[slow yew]

yeahh im taking APs on top of my hs curriculum with half a month of prep for both

u jus gotta be locked in

[junior relic]

https://tenor.com/view/взгляд-2000-ярдов-война-war-soldier-gif-3632617944134077161

[junior relic]

I did a levels with 3a* and a b

[trim herald]

Wdym on top of

Is that not yoyr HS curriculum lmao

[junior relic]

Indian

[slow yew]

national curriculum finals for 12th end on March

[trim herald]

Unless you’re doing it independently

Ah okay

[junior relic]

He is

[slow yew]

ye self study

ig

[junior relic]

My point is

College is different

Because grades ain’t gonna cut it

[slow yew]

whats ur cgpa at rn

[junior relic]

4.0 is cool but companies don’t care as much as you think if you don’t have that

Who

[slow yew]

u

[junior relic]

Barely 3.5

[slow yew]

dayum

sorry

[junior relic]

Bruh

[slow yew]

u gotta lock in more

[junior relic]

Bro

[trim herald]

Bro

Stfu

💀

You’re not getting a 4.0 in FYE

I’m sorry to pop your little egotistical bubble

[slow yew]

well the guy who left my school for purdue graduating this year has a 3.98 or smth

fye

[trim herald]

Good for him

[junior relic]

Ok

[trim herald]

That’s an outlier not the normal

[slow yew]

i see

[junior relic]

My friends who finished FYE with 4.0 got a 3.3 and 3.5 first semester sophomore year

[slow yew]

is deans list with honors like the best thing?

[trim herald]

Yeah

[junior relic]

Deans list and semester honors

[slow yew]

and its rly hhard to keep that?

[trim herald]

I mean it doesn’t really matter

[slow yew]

i think bro had it for 3 springs and 3 falls till now, jus saw on linkdein

[trim herald]

No one cares

[slow yew]

oh

bruh

[trim herald]

You’ll probably get bullied if you try to flex it so there’s that

[junior relic]

Real

No one talks about their hs stuff in college

Kinda gay

[trim herald]

Or honors stuff in college

It doesn’t matter at all

[slow yew]

oh i see

well alr

[junior relic]

Honors kids lowk have a stigma

At Purdue

That being said I am applying to honors again

[trim herald]

LMAO

[hoary quartz]

My gpa is so much worse

[hoary quartz]

I don't know folks who did it.But you just gotta be lucky with your clas

[hoary quartz]

If you wanna brag about something in college, brag about helping people

About your well defined achievements

[crisp pulsar]

When do decisions start rolling out? March?

[narrow lily]

oh no

[worthy trout]

if it means anything i got deferred, submitted an loci and got in 3 years ago

[worthy trout]

gpa genuinely most useless thing to optimise for

[hoary quartz]

fr

specially when the goals are to get a job

[worthy trout]

i have friends with sub3 gpa’s going to amazon and earning 200k/ye

genuinely does not matter

[hoary quartz]

ive met so many folks who dont have top gpas but have excellent experience

[late stream]

after submitting the LOCI how long did you wait, understand that it was 3 years ago

so its ok if you dont remember

[worthy trout]

everyone got deferral decisions at the same time i think

so loci mid feb, decision mid march?

[late stream]

ok

ok

bruh did I submit it too early

[late stream]

or like is it fine

if i submit it in Jan

[worthy trout]

nah it’s fine dw

[crisp pulsar]

How long did it take for u to get ur decision after submitting loci?

[lunar cypress]

https://www.vxinstagram.com/reel/DT8asmFkhmp/?igsh=MXZlcXVzbW96bW94Ng==

Honestly accurate

[worthy trout]

scroll up 2 messages bro

[crisp pulsar]

Mb I was in class when I asked so I didn't read the whole thing

[cold nacelle]

yo why does it say purdue releases decisions for RD starting jan 15th until march 31

is it pure rolling now

or do they still do the fuckin every friday thing

[junior relic]

i am delighted to announce that the BSEE at Purdue Fort Wayne is ABET accredited and the one at Stanford is not

[junior sun]

guys what is going on w the basketball match against iu 😔

[trim herald]

don't ask us

we're not on the team

[onyx fossil]

you still could be watching the game no?

[fringe remnant]

It’s the iu curse

It’s plaguing the team

[glacial elm]

how did the boilermakers lose to the HOOSIERS in BASKEBTALL bro

im done

[trim herald]

who knows

[junior sun]

yeah lmfao and it doesnt help that we lost to illinois and ucla befote ts too

im crine

[trim herald]

Yk I think it’s all YOUR fault we haven’t won’t a game since you’ve gotten into Purdue smh

[glacial elm]

prolly cuz of me too icl

[junior sun]

this do be how i been feeling, but march WILL be our month trustttt 😔

tbf im also an arsenal fan so this feeling isnt rlly new 😭🙏

[supple scroll]

arsenals doing so good rn though

[glacial elm]

damn

is everyone js that cracked??

😭

[opaque olive]

lost to united 💔

[latent prairie]

not for long i trust...

[supple scroll]

i hope

as a chelsea fan

[opaque olive]

NO WE ARE WINNING THE LEAGUE TWINS

[latent prairie]

did u see that joao pedro goal

[supple scroll]

yes

i was in class

[latent prairie]

i started yelling bro i did not expect him to do that

[supple scroll]

same

what possessed him

[latent prairie]

reminded me a bit of caicedo's goal

[supple scroll]

yes actually

his second goal was better

no clue how he did that

and palmer two assists

if only jackson could do that last seaosn

[alpine garden]

is it a good idea to go to purdue with the intention of transfering into fye/mech/aero engineering? or are chances of this really low

[hoary quartz]

well if you wanna do mech or aero

you gotta do fye

so the option is transferring into fye regardless

which can be hard

so think about what the end goal is

what field you wanna work in

[supple scroll]

does ie have no job outlook

wait did u say to try to switch to ie after a sem or a year

to get into engineering school first

[hoary quartz]

might be after a sem

just gotta take the pre-req classes

[hoary quartz]

much the opposite

hella jobs

[supple scroll]

im actually kinda interested in ie

[supple scroll]

okay

[meager belfry]

bro

i wish i applied to the right purdue 😭

[alpine garden]

like if you get mostly as with maybe 1 or 2 bs 1st sem, is it near guaranteed?

[alpine garden]

if I go to purdue, prolly engineering or cs, maybe pilot though I heard thats even harder than engi?

[hoary quartz]

no transfering of majors is guaranteed

[hoary quartz]

pilot is damn near impossible

transferring to cs is also as well if youre coming from outside the department of computer science

engineering is more possible

[rancid solar]

wait but like wl is in the middle of nowhere with almost no party scene... plus proximity to jobs is closer in indianapolis (as much as people online all moan about indianapolis I think u should hear from actual indianapolis ppl)

[meager belfry]

Nah ranking difference to high

[rancid solar]

Ok and? If you are doing eng/CS your money outcome in 5 years is almost the same

[meager belfry]

Is it?

I don't have access to Indiana info

[cobalt cloud]

yeah difference is nearly nil

[alpine garden]

so you don't feel its wise to choose purdue with the intention of transfering into engi?

[cobalt cloud]

we're both going to be homeless (CS is cooked)

[glacial elm]

nahhhh

[hoary quartz]

bro do not go to indianapolis

if you wanna get scammed by the university

go there

the folks who like indy

are from indy

which makes sense

cause yknow its partially a commuter school

but if you have any other options

please choose them

do not mislead people into thinking the 150 year old campus is a worse option than a 2 year old divorce campus that was given the worst part of the deal

we still dont know if the school will honor its deal

with the same degree shit

they did the same for purdue fort wayne

but stopped

[rancid solar]

well im just sharing my perspective that my counsler who lives in Indy was telling me...

[hoary quartz]

since fort wayne is like 2 hours away

the students at purdue indy like it

theres nothing wrong with the city

but the fact of the matter

is that indy campus is being falsely advertised

and shown as the same thing

when its not

[near horizon]

I mean lowk everything is cooked

[meager belfry]

Ok so I was rt.. It's all false marketing

[hoary quartz]

if it was its own satelite campus

it would be fine

but alot of times

they use purude wl things

for purdue indy avertisements

in like 10 years

purdue indy will be great

but rn

its not

its 3 buildings and a dream

if youre totally down to being shafted every step of the way in regards to priority by the purdue board of trustees

you can totally try indy out for a year

[rancid solar]

My suggestion is I would talk to ppl irl and weigh costs and benefits because ppl online may be less trustable than a person irl (not saying u should trust me either)

[hoary quartz]

if youre from indy, it might be a great option for college

i have no financial incentive to disuade you from choosing that school

im just giving you it

how the purdue indy people gave it to me

and how everyone between both campuses know it to be

as i said, its a good idea, and given more time

it will totally be a great school

but rn youre a guinea pig

you can go on the purdue indy reddit

and ask the questions

or the purdue reddit

and ask

and most of the time

theyll tell you no

do not go there

i know a guy who turned down yale for purdue indy

he does sometimes regret that

but it is what it is

https://klipy.com/gifs/baby-laugh-ai-baby

[hoary quartz]

in my personal opinion, if you have an alternative university, go there

you can transfer to purdue if you really want it later

or do grad school here

[meager belfry]

Yuh we pray I get ut bro

[hoary quartz]

or whatever the path takes you

[meager belfry]

I am just super piased cause I wrote my essay on wl and I accidently chose Indiana on common app

Cause I taught that asking for alt campus

[hoary quartz]

that is how they get you

[meager belfry]

And I only realized after

[hoary quartz]

they are betting you dont know

[meager belfry]

Yea genuinely hate that

But I cannot do much now

[hoary quartz]

theyre trying to use indy as a campus to displace the growing application population

[meager belfry]

I will pray tmr gives me something

[meager belfry]

Yea

[hoary quartz]

i know folks who are on purdue indy

[meager belfry]

I wish I can withdraw and reapply lol

[hoary quartz]

who have all their classes or 80 percent of theri classes at purdue wl

and its a pain

[meager belfry]

😭

[hoary quartz]

that 1 hour bus ride

to and from

[meager belfry]

Yuh

[hoary quartz]

is not fun

becoming a commuter between campuses aint fun

some folks be sleeping in walc and shit

be buying apartments in purdue wl

some really interesting stuff

[meager belfry]

Yuh

[hoary quartz]

good luck tho

itll all workout

[junior sun]

wait uncle bits @hoary quartz how helpful would u say fye is for choosing ur engineering major? like do they give u lots of useful info to decide, or do most ppl js stick w what they initially wanted

[hoary quartz]

hella info

[junior sun]

like does it hurt or help type shit, cuz i heard there's also "competition" to get into ur desired engineering major

[hoary quartz]

i know alot of people who did not go for what they applied to

[hoary quartz]

only for like aero

if you get the required gpa

youre fine

if you dont, itll be harder

what i usually see

is that folks come into purdue for aero

and do other things

cause aero be dissapointing

cause aero here is kinda made for like people who wanna do grad school

its mostly theoretical

[cobalt cloud]

guys which school has better dating life? (this is somewhat a joke but also somewhat serious, js curious)

[hoary quartz]

idk

[cobalt cloud]

Indianapolis or WL

[hoary quartz]

west lafayette

[cobalt cloud]

dang alr

[cobalt cloud]

ok ok, good to know

[hoary quartz]

west lafayette has like 60k people

indy has like 3k

i think west lafayette just has more of everything

[cobalt cloud]

lowkey i feel like this is one of the most important reasons why indy is like worse

[hoary quartz]

admissions and purdue engineering are not even related at all, they do not care

once youre in fye

youre free to do whatever the hell you want

[pulsar palm]

chat i got deferred for aero eng

should i switch to indie

[hoary quartz]

no

[junior sun]

everyone around me is like "omg ur doing engineering?" and theyre all telling me to go into different engineering fields 😭 now im js hella confused n dunno if i picked correctly 🥀

[hoary quartz]

never should you willingly choose to switch to indy

[pulsar palm]

is it that bad

[hoary quartz]

if youre not from indiana

or the city of indianapolis

[pulsar palm]

ok

it was oos

[hoary quartz]

and surrounding suburbs

[junior sun]

i feel like fye would at least give me the exposure to make an informed choice but like

[hoary quartz]

yes

you will get alot of chances

to talk to upper classment

[pulsar palm]

ima stick with WL then

[hoary quartz]

and youll most likely end up in mechE

or something else

[hoary quartz]

yea

the thing with aero

is that like

they really do not have much opportunities for hands on experiences

or building

in the major

[junior sun]

i got ppl telling me to go into electrical now cuz semiconductors

[hoary quartz]

and its still one of the more theoretical majors

[hoary quartz]

dont do electrical if youre not fr for it

you need your all for that major

[pulsar palm]

ouchie

[hoary quartz]

yea

[pulsar palm]

so thats why they dont care that i can fly a plane :(

[hoary quartz]

mechE at purdue

[junior sun]

circuits is my worst unit in physics ion wanna touch that shi full time 😭🙏

[hoary quartz]

is so much better

imo

cause we have more actual stuff

design stuff

in class

[pulsar palm]

my whole app betting on the fact that i can somewhat fly a plane and not crash if im lucky

[hoary quartz]

aerospace and flying a plane arent the same

much different

alot of flyers

in aerospace engineering

[hoary quartz]

see

if you do aero

youll take the hardest controls course

in engineering

imo

[pulsar palm]

shi im cooked then

[hoary quartz]

so youll experience it

[hoary quartz]

you might not be

who knows

all im saying

is that mechE is better

we get more jobs

more opportunites

more of the aerospace research is in mechE

yall should totally do mechE

[pulsar palm]

i did mechE to some schools

some schools i majored mechE some schools i picked aero

[hoary quartz]

also

another major folks go into

if not aero

is material science

or electrical engineering

[junior sun]

that's after fye, right? like i think purdue has the edge over georgia tech/uiuc cuz those 2 admit u directly into ur major

[hoary quartz]

or industrial engineering

[hoary quartz]

yes, its junior year

[junior sun]

and i did hear that it's relatively "easier" to switch aero->mech since there's a decent amount of overlap

[pulsar palm]

i am never touching that

[junior sun]

but i still wanna have the room to explore everything beefore i decide

[pulsar palm]

thats a nightmare

[junior sun]

rather than switch

[pulsar palm]

this lowkey might be good tho

its just irl crafting recipes

[hoary quartz]

yea

but most of the time

your mind will be made

by the end of fye

cause youll hear all the aero majors tell you to do mechE

or matsci

[hoary quartz]

they are really important

[pulsar palm]

yeah

[hoary quartz]

they are the ones who make sure all the materials are actually functional

[pulsar palm]

ofc

[hoary quartz]

and do what theyre supposed to do

and they do so much more

[pulsar palm]

the plane cannot fly if the materials do not do materialing correctly

[hoary quartz]

mat sci is insanely underrated

alot of people should not be doing aero

and should be doing mat sci instead

[pulsar palm]

i picked aero because i like planes

very strong reason fr fr

[junior sun]

same 😭

[pulsar palm]

tbh mechE and mat sci are also cool

dont mind switching

i like cars too

[junior sun]

i think my love for planes MIGHT come off as slightly autistic to other ppl asw lowk

plus i feel like for me at least aero is sm easier to romanticize than mech

[pulsar palm]

i like planes because

planes cool

[hoary quartz]

i chose mechE cause i like space stuff

[pulsar palm]

i like space stuff too

[hoary quartz]

alot of aero

[pulsar palm]

tbh i like every engineering type except electrical

[hoary quartz]

realy just becomes cfd stuff

[pulsar palm]

ew cfd

[junior sun]

i js applied to all my schools w whatever im interested in at the time of applying, which is aero... without rlly considering job prospects (cuz im 17 wtf)

[pulsar palm]

i dont wanna deal with more of that

[hoary quartz]

thats like the big interest

[junior sun]

but i dunno if that was a mistake

[hoary quartz]

its like
