we aren’t twin
i think the only time we talked was when she bought me a cookie and have to back to her
but i realized i was sick and told her not to eat it
huh is that so crazy
uh yeah
ah well
what the fuck you think imma say here bro
“no she’s chopped and ugly that’s why i like her”
yes or no
crazy statement
i mean i know my current bf from randomly dming him my fnaf theories during the summer 😭
ahn robotics
our notice team is some butt bro
mentors wanna do more than they allow the students to
they’re all really nice people
but they don’t let students do anything and do it all themselves
son we don’t like any of the same stuff
an trust me bro i’ve tried
as a girl, for me personally, js talk to us as a friend first. like if u have no ulterior motive there shouldnt be much harm
worst case scenario u make a new friend
she don’t seem to like anything besides shopping
and there is very little i hate more than shopping
so, genuine question, why do u like her? aside from looks?
shit
i dunno how to put it into words honestly
she’s very funny and energetic
i guess that’s abt it
she’s dumb as bricks as well
seems to be lost every class
always bugging me abt some basic concept
at some point you gotta drop out
ap macro and ap stats isn’t for everyone it appears
jesus this question man maybe in shallow
i’m still tryna think of some better reason
you don't need one brodie, follow your heart
YES YES
you should def talk to her more, maybe you can potentially find common ground. Also abt the number thing, you said she struggles in certain classes maybe you can get her number casually being like “yo you can text me on this # and i can help with x class”
Idk that’s what I’d do
But I’m also single on Valentine’s Day
So like
ohhhhhj
yeah, dunno why you fumbled that badly in the first place 😭😭
son
i’m on a2c
Fair enough
aint wrong
ebk
WHAT
are these baddies at Purdue js curious 😭
WE are ALL having our valentines date at the walc couch
Yo what
ok that’s not even ridiculous to ask tho
what is walc 😭
Bro I lowkey got Purdue baddies on my feed the other day
betttt
what in the niche
man
Someone JD Vance-ed one of the walc couches, so now it’s super infamous
aggresively too
so what’s the move bro
okay twin 😭
thxs
thought yall wanted the lore 🥀
not that kind of lore💀
?
Try what I told you to do
like let her know like
“hey if you ever need help on this class, here’s my number and just text me ykwim”
Idk
twin idk this may sound like out of touch from my part
But like
If she alr asked you for your number
I’m sure like there’s smth going on, where she wants to connect with ya, not saying she’s like into you I can’t assume that
Just form that connection yk, just like mention that smoothly in a convo
Seems natural
also like tbh I can’t rlly relate cuz I usually am very straight to the point abt stuff
What lore 
bro this is literally an insta dm 😭
brother js shoot ur shot
yall are funny
we dont even talk that much bro i PROMISE
maybe like 1 conversaiton a day
you’re never gonna get everywhere if you stand still twin
you gotta take some steps forward
that is true
live life with no regrets
but im fine with the way things are and shes not gonan go to purdue
i know I said she would but i found out she didnt get in whihc im very surprised abt
so the timing is so awkward
Wait twin wha happene
you missed it dawg you can scroll up if you want
to read my sorrows
of my soul
yo 😭
You still got time no? Shoot your shot next time you see her(in the right moment ofc)
🥹
When does purdue RD release?
not very soon I would say
when did it come out last year? any approx date in march/april?
it’s rolling i think
No it isnt
It all drops in waves around mid to end of march
ALL
TOGETHER
fun fact, it is
is this for deferrals as well
Oh really, then explain to me why no one in RD as gotten a decision
It has been over a month since EA
because they start dropping in march
..?
Show me where to says that
....No where
why are you being so aggressive
Cuz it isn't true 😭
yes
fridays around 5pm est throughout march is historically when batches come out.
there doesnt seem to be rhyme or reason as to what decisions are coming out so the first week wont be acceptances, week 2 rejections, etc and its not by school/major either
so just keep being patient, yall have only got a little bit longer to wait
i just say what o hear i didn’t check myself
not full rolling i think they release waves
tho
when purdue stickers bro 🙁
the dude got mad cuz i was confused why i aint get stickers
😭
ong
i lowkey want the stickers pretty bad now -_-
its okay i dont hear a lot of RD CS/ FYE admits
?
It’s rolling in March
it is
did yall get ur stickers yet?
we might have to print them ourselves :<
my local print shop is closed for the lunar new year holiday, but maybe i'll ask them after :V
i usually print stickers there
for robotics
o wow that’s nice
bruh
i spent like 70 bucks on my application
same lol, i spent 75+ but i feel like them accepting me is enough of a miracle 😭
i dont know about that
i know (domestic) people last cycle got stickers
why is brother so desperate
got it
what did u get into so far?
Alright thanks
purdue UMD fsu cu boulder Ohio state umass Amherst Virginia tech
all cs other than fsu
nice
purdue and umd r fire
lol
usc defer but I withdrew
what schools?
rutgers and njit in-state for cs + bme
tuffff
and ut cs + neuro oos
ya ig but i would take any ivy and duke and ucs and other schools over ut
interesting feed (||send||)
the thing got taken down on reddit but
is there like a
.>
there are no baddies at purdue
everyone is chopped
EVERYONE
i'm not even in the college of engineering brother
how do you know this
fr
i agree w ts
everything is abt to change once the big co26 enters colelge
🔥
🥶
esp me
:cool
😎
rude
@trail escarp
im tryin to get a new macbook rn
im going to buy m5 pro but wt RAM should i choose 😭
24GB or 48GB
does 48GB worth extra 4k
and is it necessary
y 😭
what are you using it for?
no idea
are you editing videos in 10k and running elden ring at 4k at once?
like idk wt u rly do as a ai major
im not going to play games
though
probably not
Price difference?
is it that same 2k?
I have 16 gb ram MacBook Air m2
I think 48gb is overkill, but it depends a lot on what ur gonna be doing with it
48gb ram?! in THIS economy?! 😭🙏
jkjk im using 18gb ram and it's been nice so far!! able to run cad software like fusion fine :>>>
idt its price is going to rise for m5 pro
pro for m6 and other models
but i think i should def get sth before the price goes up 💀
also planning to get mac mini m5 😭
imma just spend everything i've saved up 😭
yess i had the same question
if ur oos expect 0
any indian who got into aerospace at purdue eng if you could msg 🙏
@unique owl
why are all indians applying for aerospace at purdue 
cuz that’s what we do 😭
we
us
more indians in compsci lowkey
especially the bay area south asians
they come as a flock
hell yeah
that's alright, it's your decision at the end of the day :D
LOADS
so so so many people i know are from the bay area
iive loved it but i think if i get into florida im a gator (still f*ck UF tho)
my roommate got rejected from every uc except irvine and got into purdue for fye
as an in state (!)
fuck aaron hernandez
more specifically
ye hate every gator
i hate him the most
reasonable
but purdue is lowk shit at football yall needa lock in
at least yall got basketball
we're barely a football school
become both 🙏
rome wasnt built in a day
bro
purdue football
might not be good for like a decade
💔
1887
they dont care abt fb
one thing i really really really appreciate about purdue is that our athletics program is completely independent of the university financially
o wait
thats
good
this is how it should be tbh
so i know for certain that my tuition money is going towards education, research, infrastructure and there's no massive siphon of tuition into sports
bumfuck nowhere
but tbh idc
there's a bus that takes you to indy, it's pretty reliable if you really want to
as someone from the pnw i respect purdue's location
but you're in bumfuck nowhere
(subaru factory nearby)
HELL YEAH SUBARU
i fucking love subarus
there's so many crosstreks here you'll feel right at home
🔥
indy aint even allat tbh
😭
indiana aint all at overall
purdue indy tho is somewhere
let me ask if i can swtich campuses from west lafayette
purdue indy is not worth it till at least 2027
not tll 2029 imo
cause 2027 intake is when they finally move out (partially) into their own buildings and stop leasing facilities from iu
censor that word
sorry that was just bait
ye ik
i would make a long ass passage about it to explain purdue indy since the university themselves is really vague about it
i might do it next cycle
is Purdue summer staart worth it
im seeing a lot of jitts get into purdue FYE like damn
t10 eng program btw
😭
maybe cuz of the size
and shi
lowkey isnt bad if u want to but
then again ur not required to do it
my friend legit said he will not go to purdue becuase 20 kids from his shcool got in
i'd say just come for BGR and start in the fall
so he thikns they let everyone into the engineering program
what major did he get in for?
summer start will be kinda dead
and you dont want to start college off with a dead campus
bro
why wud he do that
😭
literally goated for cs/eng
i saw the job placements and eveyrhting
yea its like t25 im ps
t10
yeaa
yeah
undergrad cs is 16 at purdue
undergrad eng is like 6 at purdue
i think
obviosuly like i'd rather to other places if im doing CS, but if im doing engineering its either tech, uiuc, purdue, or mich
if not i think its like 8
tech lowk the best imo
ye tech or uiuc probs
and then for cs i only got umd and purdue that r t20 for cs
i like tech tho
those are two great options bro
prolly staying instate unforch
umd is also pretty challenging to get into iveh eard
yeaa
yea
its
hard to get into
and EVEN harder to excel in coursework n shi
thas like every good school tho
oh yeah def like living in america i have come to realise more indians are still for that comp sci track while kids in india have like given up on that shit
they would take anything other than comp sci unless they have been coding ig
they mailed me today asking for a duolingo english test
...have kids in india given up on compsci? because i did high school in india and i know tons of people who applied for compsci, compE, EE (and are going to some really good programs!)
yeah most of my friends in india have given up for comp sci
i think its cause of those who think they are competitive enough will just aim for jee or smth and those who are in like ib and dont have good ecs just want to be in a less comp major
Hello 😭, im not intl tho if that’s what you are asking
dunno the context for this, but yeah real real
it means it’s a savior
bro it’s Michigan
😭
sorry but Purdue was never winning
shush we're getting 10 points in 1:30 i have faith
bro they down 10 w 1:05
shushhh
yk what maybe it's okay if we don't win this
bc we're winning march, right? 🥀
but our mascot is literally
wait what happened to uncle bits??
Guys are we still able to apply to purdue?
Most RD apps close at jan but i notice some uni sends email like “theres still time to apply to this uni” so im wondering if Purdue is one of them
Purdue lowk gets enough applications
nah I doubt
@mechE bits
yeah
LFG
HAIL TO THE VICTORS VALIANT
HAIL HAIL TO MICHIGAN THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WEST
GO BLUE
I wish we had our top 2 players bro
im not fine
at least fsu beat Boston college
robert mccray
Michigan vs UNC when
never
michigan vs duke doe
BEAT THE F*CK OUTTA DUKE
im actually scared for ts ong
pls beat them devils
thank you unc
js beat d*ke
I mean we own them
and we aren’t as snobbish as them dookies
don’t even get me started w scheyer
talm sum abt “they punched our players”
😂😂😂
Bro purdue is so tuff🥹🥹
Very reasonable price oos too
I might boiler up
I think it's like 90%, cause Purdue has to do revenue sharing now for any NCAA sport
Well they don't have to
but then nobody would come to the school for athletics if they didn't do rev share
honestly wish we actually funded our poverty ahh athletics department
cause genuienly our football team is so garbage
but if purdue subsidized athletics the university would be broke unless they raised tuition
so oh well
Fr
It's up to 20 million that purdue can spend on rev share
they probably spend about 10
yalll got basketball tho
$14 million is what the university is funding our athletic programs
Yeah but we can’t shoot 3s anymore
Or defend
Buddy what
Racism
in a game that’s all abt shooting 3s and then defense
if you can’t do that what can you do
middys
Yup
shit went outta style in the 90s
You just have to ball
✌️
here’s a. reason after steph came along
there aren’t people who can make a name from middys
beside kd shai and gianni’s
Virginia tech
But they said 46.7k so fuck naw😭
Would rather go to purdue
Like 2k more
o yea go to the corn fields bro
what mine's 70k oos 😭 😭
i like vtech better lowk
I still ain’t get anything from purdue
same
i did!
congrats bro
oh yea i didn't show you
💔
Im in state
I feel like for eng purdue is objectively better tho
yes that's why i'm shocked at how expensive it still is
yea it definitely is
i meant like in general
i feel like vt college life is better
and vt ece is better than purdue
i mean "better" is a really subjective thing
maybe they prefer the degree plan/some of the classes offered/some of the research the faculty conduct
nothing wrong with that
like i'm really jealous of my friend at northeastern because he gets lectures of like 70 for which i get lectures of three hundred
He also won’t get a traditional college experience
Unless he’s Boston 4 years p
Always trade offs
he actually wanted that
so like
more power to him
he's off to a co-op in sf this semester actually
Nice
it's just higher in rankings
yea that's true i feel like knowledge/opportunity wise purdue is better but rankings vt is higher somehow
bro how 😭
d0oes this mean im enrolling
or shoudl iw ait for all m yother colleges to come out i dont get it
i cant see my fin aid until I do this so what do I do
no that's just making a career account
you do that to access some stuff
it doesn't mean ur enrolling
idk why it says accept your offer though
i think it said something else for me
just don't pay when it asks you
????
so i js hit accept my offer and then what
you only enrol when 500 is wired from you to the bursar
bursar?
u get ur career login
yes
like the payments portal
okay
I’m jealous
Agriculture got a flag and all that
all I got was a beanie a pen and a key chain
i still havent gotten my stuff yet
why do y'all care about college merch so much
i got none
i didnt even know it was a thing until a7/d2/r5 started obsessing over it
I stopped caring but then I saw this
get it urself once u come here 😭
45k a year, whats a bit more for merch lmao
and u get plenty of free stuff at events anyways tbh
between purdue and ucsd which is better for computer engineering? which would offer more opportunities and better placements
whatever is cheaper
i copped a purdue hoodie and it's so comfy aaa i wanna wear it to sleep too
maybe i was mtb in gold and black 🥺👉👈
yes u were #btfu
where do I get merch without dropping 67 for a shirt on the bookstore website
They’re about 45 in person at the bookstore I believe
Purdue
They also have 50% off sections aswell
Also wait to go into after a basketball game every 3 pointer is 3% off in the bookstore
Yesss and the football games too every touchdown is 6% or something
Our first game is usually against someone silly like Indiana state
🥲
I think that’s what it is this season
If we score 50 on then that’s like 50% off
Kind of fire
Exactlyy
I think it caps at 40 unfortunately
We’d get a higher discount if it was 6% for every touchdown the opponent scored 😭
Yes sirrr
LMA
gimme IU
I’m sad I’m going to miss half the snow next year
Here atleast
We better be winning against them in bball
Wait meaning?
I’m probably studying abroad second semester
Tmrw!!!
Oooh where
Prague 🤞
That is the plan atleast
Either that or Valencia Spain
But I’m probably not going if it’s Spain highkey
But Prague is my first choice
Oooooh nice
Prague is super super nice
Valencia not nearly as much imo it’s kinda boring
That’s what I was thinking that’s why prague is the first choice
Yeah, I love Prague I’ve been there once it was awesome
Hell yeah
Study abroad is very cool, gl!
Thank you thank you
It’s the same price as studying here
So I was like why not
My plan is if I get into the Prague program I’m going to backpack around Europe for 2 weeks before I go to school
Does it delay grad at all?
Wtfffff cooool
Going to hit Berlin, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp, bruge,ghent, Lille, and Paris
Nah not at all actually, I’m going to study at CTU if I get in and I can take all my cyber classes there
If anything it helps me finish my cyber classes faster cause they don’t really have any gen Ed’s available
I would just take 3 cyber classes, ENGL 419 and a Czech culture coure
Wooow that’s so cool
One of my friends study abroaded in Barcelona but that’s it, I don’t rly know anyone else lol
It’ll be awesome I can’t wait
I just hope I get in
U got this 🙏
Thank you thank you
excellent music choice
we love nick rattigan
i gotchuu
you aint getting any of them what we talking abt
??
you heard what i said
bro if we're chronically on discord
this dude gets it
idt any of us are getting any baddies 😭
who is we 😭
no one here is chronically online
idk bro but like everytime i log in i see you here 😭
asking for stickers or baddies or sm bro
bro I stopped and I asked if there were baddies ONE time
- I haven’t even committed yet lmao
son
you’re are always in here
i swear
talking abt whatever
last time I texted was like 8 in the morning lmao
Got done w pizza w purdue engineers
If you have the opportunity to I’d do it very informative experience
is this just eating pizza with purdue engineers 😭
Uhh ya
But
It’s a nice chance to get a Q&A in w current students
ohh icic
But was very good experience
baddies? at an engineering school?
son- 😭🙏
was uncle bits there or sum LMFAO
also why does purdue keep talking about the beast games guy it highk pmo 😭
they couldve milked tf outta artemis 2 and going back to the moon
and i wouldnt have minded cuz that has sm potential to be badass
but noooo apparently beast games is more impressive ugh
shi I’ve seen some fine cs jits on the class page
Ion think so
"fine" and "cs" in the same sentence
youre funny asl bro
oml
wait what is the soundtrack tho 😭
wait @cunning sleet can we have a pic of the boilermaker xtra special or purdue pete for this thread's cover image pls 🥺 the current one is kinda lame
Find one
And suggest it to me
@trail escarp do u know any good ones 😭
i vote this

i think the wikipedia page one is good?
i do like what it currently is though, thats kinda the logo right
the others have lame images of silly humanoid mascots
ours is a cool logo
🗣️
IT'S LITERALLY A TRAIN!! 🔥
exactlyyy, see these are lame
i kinda love vt tho, their insta page is rlly funny (in a good way)
is it a turkey?
hokiebird or smth
they called the co2030 admits baby birds and new flock 🥺
ok admittedly thats cute
?
it's rolling
yes but i dont think they do any rolling until march
Just wanted to say the students I met while on my Purdue tour today were awesome 🔥
Where’d you tour?
On campus that is
West Lafayette
Fire
Students were super nice which was definitely a different vibe from other colleges I’ve toured
That’s good yeah everyone here is really nice
Atleast most people lol
what were the other colleges u visited, if u don't mind me asking?
i rlly do care about vibe/environment/how nice students are when im picking my colleges; honestly one of the reasons purdue was my dream school (the vibes js felt right(
but honestly after the whole indy situation (which honestly feels so scummy) and them over-advertising the beast games guy on insta idrk anymore lol ;-;
RAHHH ARE WE FINALLY BACK?? PLS
oh dang it's nearly march
dirty soda in the styrofoam
what indy situation
Uhh UIUC, Auburn, Caltech, Stanford, Georgia Tech
Caltech was the only one w students that were as chill/nice
so you are judging a college by its marketing
don't do that
yeah ic, i also talked to purdude here abt the fact that purdue's trying rlly hard to make the two campuses indifferentiable
despite one being more "competitive" than the other
esp in admissions
so i'm also worried this might impact how employers see purdue
bc a indy student can put "purdue university" and be seen as the same as a WL student
i dunno maybe im js being a prestige whore
can i dm u to ask abt uiuc and georgia tech asw? 👀
and i feel like the fact purdue isnt clear between its indy vs main campus, even on the common app (which idk if that's intentional) but it feels kinda scummy? like theyre tryna get unsuspecting kids to apply to indy over the main campus (despite the difference in culture and resources, from what ive heard on here)
Ya
i toured purdue yesterday and the day before as well and my friend and i just talked to random students and so many of them just seem depressed
So did I and the ones I spoke to were cool so 🤷♂️
i spoke with some random senior to ask him which dining hall is best and he said hes never eaten at a dining hall 😭
On another note, the rec center is actually fire
Who was you speaking with bro 😭
Idk every random student I spoke to was cool
bro this dude seemed lost
he was chilling outside the building they hold robotics meeting
Bro met someone larping as a student 😭
i pulled up with my friend to the robotics meeting randomly
and there were like 6 jits in there
they were cool tho
Idk everyone I met was awesome
is it always mad windy tho
i remember one day it was 60 and nice
next day
freezing and like 22mph gusts
This was the day of my tour
i did the purdue for me stuff
but i was also there day before
and the day before the tour was so nice
except for the slgiht rain
did u do purdue for me
purdue weather is bipolar as hell
for context Thursday it was 60 degrees and sunny and Friday the wind could knock you down
Ford
how fast weather switched up
i ate there thirsday night
sucks that dining halls close at 9pm
There's a couple other locations open beyond 9 but yeah
Ya
Engineering
nice what engineering
my friend was also on tour for aerospace
i was there for Comp sci
Well you don’t get admitted for a specific type of engineering
But
I want to do Mech E or EE
u comitted or nah?
omg!! vex robotics, or..?
i love the purdue sigbots rahhh
they genuinely be my origin story for my love for purdue
we talked with a guy called blake
i glazed the sigbots far tm in my why us essay LMAO
love them sm tho
genuinely dunno how i wouldve done robotics without their wiki
so the sigbots was honestly such a big factor in my robotics journey and also me wanting to do engineering
oh wait are you not a student already
i owe it all to purdue aaa 🥺
nope 😭 im still a hs senior lmao
bro did not js describe my wet dreams so easily like that arghhh 😫😫😫
it's rlly fun imo :D
esp when u form a strong connection w ur team
feels like a family
is that frc lol 😭🙏
but when i popped out at the purdue robotics team thursday night it was less than 10
my team last yr for vex was 7 including myself
first robotics comp
theyre different competitions
vex is smaller robots on smaller fields
i think its frc
frc is big robots on basketball court ahh fields
yeah thats frc 😭
sometimes i pull up to my hs robotics meetings to fool aorind with my friends on the team and shoot balls
DAMN
Dining dollars
what do these usernames mean with A/D/R
acceptance / deferral / rejection
Acceptance deferral rejection
Bro threw ts on to flex on us
how do peopel apply to so many schools bro i on get it
Common App ig
Idk my mentality was I’m only applying to schools I’m considering over my safety
right
thats what I did as well
i lowk neber got hte hype around t20's
shits so expensive
well depneding on m,ajor it could be worth
I applied to 3 T20s 🤷♂️
i dont actually know what schools are t20s anymore but i applied mit stanford
is ct t20
i thoguht it was too niche to be t20
i applied there as well
oh it is
aight 3 for me as well
im a larper bro i say I dotn care abt t20s and i appleid to 3 of them
thas what I’m saying bro
I applied to like 1 t20 (duke) but like a lot of t20s for comp sci
FRC robotics scares me, VEX on top
My two rlly good friends do frc and they spend so much time on it 😭
I applied to 14 and even then I think I applied to too many
probably because midterms are next week
that's why
i was scared
of not getting in anywhere
Because they're tring to improve the indy campus, doesn't say anything about the college though
fo CS i applied to gatech, uiuc, umich, umd, uwisc, purdue as my best schools the rest were lowkey buns i had too much safeties
like rutgers, umass, stony brook
bro same except for umich
yea mich ain’t worth it
i can only afford like 50k a year without debt and loans so thats my budget
got into purdue and umd deferred wisc rejected gt and uiuc
damn u considering wisc?
nah
same
cuz i dint think im getting jnto gatech
that and UF
if I get into uf im doing uf most likely
also what r ur 15 acceptances bro holy 😭
virginia tech
umass lowell
northeastern
asu and penn state 😭
rutgers
stony brook
purdue
umass amherst
IU
umd
uwisc
upitt
What major are you doing
CS
Gotcha
If umd is ranked higher than Purdue in cs, then totally go there lol. The weather and location ain’t it in Indiana. But if you want lower tuition and great basketball scene, then come to Purdue
if u don't mind me asking... do u know much abt georgia tech's aeroE program? how would u say it compares to purdue?
basketball ❤️
but my team si gonna be indy
💀
fucking pacers are some ass
YAHH IU SUCKS RAHHH
pacers are some actual hot garbage
also umich js got their ass whooped by duke apparently
only college I appleid to with a good team is mit and thats only KINDA related to boston
AND BOSTONS NOT EVEN THAT GOOD
mit has basketball? 😭
is boston not boston celtics
no im talking abt celtics
i used to "watch" nba and got bandwagoned into supporting celtics
i drc abt college as muhc asnab
I watch a good amnt of wolves games
cuz I live mn
anthony ewdwards my beloved
bro cost??
For starters, they are technically ranked better than us by one spot. But we also have the largest aero department in the us and also Neil Armstrong and a bunch of other astronauts. If you are into propulsion, then Purdue excels more in that cause we have zucrow labs which is the largest academic propulsion facility in the world
gobert isnt that bad lol he just makes me mad sometimes
is it js me or im so scared of growing up n thinking about college
and i feel like
im drainign sm of my parents' money
Purdue is definitely cheaper than umd
yea purdue is fs worth it over umd
they r both t20
bro same
that’s why I want to get into uf
esp as an intl student... im tryna find schollys but idt purdue gives many, or any at all for intl studejts
YUHH I GLAZED ZUCROW ON MY SUPPS LOL
Just be prepared to get absolutely tortured by Purdue stem education and the frigid winter weather
