concetrations is a specialzed focus of your degree
minors are smaller versions of a major
either its great or its not
this is the sample fye courses
for first year
if you got credits for chemistry
and the writing classes
and physics
and calculus
then you'd only have to take the intro to engr courses
and c programing
if you have chemistry credits
then you dont even have to take c
cause c is an fye selective
the options for that are chm116, bio110, and cs159
ap chem credit counts for chm115 and chm116
ya cause i have ap chem physics c mech and lang
and compE
and ap calc bc
who would tell you
im trying, but yknow they seem to not mess with me
gahhhdammn
thats wild
What major are you?
we are always fried in engineering, but we must still continue cause its simply all we can do
cause dropping out and changing majors is not an option
mechanical engineering
Rahhhh 🦅
I must persist ig
i hear its easiest in junior year
you should totally do mechE
Maybe I’ll be in the same position
i only say this
I’ll think abt it
Oh
are you a hands on kinda engineer
someone who loves to design
and make things
cause aerospace engineerign here doenst have that until senior year
That’s fine tbh
I’ve been preparing for that
and your jobs will be going to mechEs
all the time
its actually interesting
many aero companies have more positions open for meches and eces
than aersoapce
That’s also another thing I’ve seen
but ill stop with the mechE propaganda
once you get on campus
itll be insane
and maybe youll join the light side
in the school of mechanical engineering
after fye
we are the best engineering major
I shall see 🫡
maybe you shall become a mechanical engineer
its kinda not that bad
many folks be applying alot nowadays
Despite how many ppl apply
its not that niche
aerospace at purdue
is it easier to get internships in ee?
is just really space restricted
no
no engineering has it easy
besides industrial engineering
for jobs
something ive come to learn
is that
aerospace
is not niche
and you can actually use your skills
to be act like a mechanical
LMAO
that will help you later on
when youre looking for jobs
getting into the aerospace industry as a freshman and sophmore is touch
tough
so what many do is become manufacturing engineers for a year or two
I see
markets horrible in general
theres controls aspects of manufacturing
im more of the traditional sense
i dont like controls
i havent take the course
yet
My CS brethren must be fighting for their lives rn 😭🙏
oh like what ;-;
brother
Oh nah
im lowk interested in controls
i couldnt even describe
they cannot tell me
what controls is
nobody can tell me
the best ive heard
is taht its a way to describe how to control things
my friend doesnt know whats happening
in that course
dang 😭
and im about 6 months away
from taking that course
but thats normal
idk whats happenign in dynamics rn
i had no idea what i was doing in fye
So the peak engineering experience basically
also piece of advice
Being clueless
dont overload your credits
in fye
college is so much harder than hs
no matter what you think
do the 14 credit hours
each semester
how much classes is that
you will come to love yourself
depnds
could be 3-7 classes
we have 1 credit hour courses
i did 17 and 16
and i didnt succeed
i still feel the damage to this day
all your opportunities will be defined by your freshman year performance
so you better do it good
and take it slow
Good to know
hmm alright
my study habits are kinda cooked
so im gonna be in for a ride bruh
do yk if theres a class that is calc 3 and 4 tho
combined
in one semester
you cant take any of the combined coruses
ece wants you to take them all individually
with calc bc
youll get outta calc 1 and calc 2
calc 3
you can do the test out
same with linear algebra
and differential equations
oh whats that
dang bruh
oh wait thats good
so i can just like lock in and study it on my own
and just skip it
are the tests hella hard tho?
yes
they are notoriously hard
an 85-86 percent
really
pass
nothing comes easy here
and they usualyl do them the day of the first day of college
but like u didnt learn anything yet
oh are u talking about the credit test or the class
theres resources online
the credit test
the class is a class
i will say
purde math
can be really fucking hard
omg bro
by first exam is that the first exam in the class?
but like if its in the middle of the semester
lets say you pass calc 3 testout
again
you cant have that happen
cause you wont qualify to take the exam
like before the midterm
all the exams happen on the first day of college
oh
youll get a response within the first week
you will have that class switched with another
usually
a higher level math
so calc 3 test out with a pass
may lead you taking
linear algebra
or differential equations
can u take multiple exams on the first day?
yoo ik what im gonna do over the summer
but you can ask your advisor that
i can just lock in and get my math creds
you can also do clep exams for the basic gen eds
this is a great way to get study material for the clep
and also get to do the clep for free
oh hows it make it free
which one of those would i need
cause i only really need math and science from clep yeah?
do u need social studies and english?
so yea
uh
this is why i keep sending those ece links
youre gonna have to check each course
and the clep exam transfer credit
and see what you need
and what you dont
heres the gen eds
these are university gen eds
major related gen eds are in this link
The Purdue course catalog bulletin lets you search for every class and course for every major offered at the West Lafayette/Indianapolis campus.
there can be overlap between univeristy gen eds and major related gen eds
so what i mean
is that
there are times
where the ece gen eds
are the univeristy gen eds
like you get to pick and choose
and since you have to get your univeristy gen ed requirements
its better do do classes that are both univeristy gen ed requirements and ece gen ed requiremtns
so you dont have to do more unecessary courses that dont count towards anything
things can double count
also heres your major selectvies
The Purdue course catalog bulletin lets you search for every class and course for every major offered at the West Lafayette/Indianapolis campus.
and finally
heres your major plan of study
The Purdue course catalog bulletin lets you search for every class and course for every major offered at the West Lafayette/Indianapolis campus.
but like are all the gen eds in the electrical engineering plan of study
does that include all the credits u need
yes
so you use the unveristy one
to find all the ones that you wanna do
that also count as gen eds in ece
ece has more gen eds than there are university gen eds
so once youre done with your univeristy gen eds
you do the upper levels
also
some of those fye courses
count as gen eds
and some ap courses
can take away gen eds
talk to your advisor in the summer
if you commit
and youll get more info
oh aight
so is gen ed 4-6 just like any class?
in the uni gen ed list
oh wait nvm i just read under that
yea
just read
its pretty clear
they know folks might be confused
anything that says in parathesis (satifies : ____) is usually referring to satisfying a univeristy gen ed requirement
are history courses part of college of liberal arts
so you can go into the university gen eds
and then go into ece gen eds
and find the overlap
thats just for that
yes
oh epic
check the ece gen eds
there are history courses there
you could do a history minor
for fye?
no
a minor is declared in junior year
but its a something you do over the college degree
heres another thing you could do
concentrations
of your major
is specializations of your major
dont have to worry about it rn
this is usually chosen in junior year
like the ece gen eds
yes
are those the fye history courses
no
fye has the classes it has
clear cut
The Purdue course catalog bulletin lets you search for every class and course for every major offered at the West Lafayette/Indianapolis campus.
bro
you gotta read the whole page
The Purdue course catalog bulletin lets you search for every class and course for every major offered at the West Lafayette/Indianapolis campus.
scroll through this page
it has all you need
school of business
hmm it seems like the hard part would be getting those two classes that are level 30000 or higher
do those normally need prereqs
ty!
Yea
omg uncle bits is back!! horrayyy
hello
why is purdue buns at basketball?
Great question
cuz zach edey got drafted
bro they lost to FDU
when they had edey
i dont wanna hear that
genuinely one of the worst purdue performances ive seen
imagine without edey
wud be wraps
FDU had that purdue offense on locks
what do purdue have now anyways
i dont keep tabs on college basketball
barely watch march madness
well they lost to wisconsin
last night
struggled against northwestern
and lost by 14 to ohio state
i cant shoot 3s
i can only play pf or c role as a 6'1 guy 😭
i mean it prob wont really affect the results
ngl i be shootin like
haiz if only i was born earlier to at least see zach edey in purdue
rebounds
i prob make as many shots from the arc as i do from halfcourt
😭
if im wide open im drainin that bih
idt ive ever guarded someone that is above 6'8
and i cant dunk so
i get dominated interior tho
im gonna be cooked on interior
i get cooked on perimeter
like small guards blow by me quite some times
they be quick
theres only 1 time i pulled off a chasedown block on them
if only i was above 7'0
maybe i can dream abt playing d1 or d2
😭
same
Will Purdue come out today
its rolling can come out anytime
probably not accurate, since no one else on discord or reddit made a comment or post. i doubt they'd bother rolling decisions out for a very fringe minority of applicants.
they do rolling
they do, yes, but it's usually for a larger volume than the one in context.
too busy losing games to release decisions apparently
does purdue email when they made an update to ur portal
yea
they do it very unexpectedly
i rem for me it was like 4:55 and i was working at the gas station
good ol times
interesting
bc they didnt email me when they made an update for ea
hopefully i get in tho 🙏
oh u got deferred?
yea unfortunately
yea fye
bruh no way
all g bro
u got it rd trust
if it helps i got deferred uf but got into purdue cs
so its js weir
weird
for eng nah idtso
fs
YEAHH
yall gotta realize that all engineering applicants are going into the same pol
its all first year engineering
so if you got deffered
it wasnt from meche, or ece, or Ie
its all from engineering
and aint nun wrong with that, just hope
and see wehre you end up
ill keep my hopes up for the upcoming weeks 🤞
for all deferred ppl
im feeling a wave today for rd
like idk smth about today
im jus feeling it
hope ur right
Hey anyone know why there's another admissions letter for the college of science?
Is that a different thing I low-key forgot
right how many waves of rd where there for purdue when u applied
am curious :p
😭 valid
im half a world away
😭
but ill get to know more abt it
once i get my 2nd wave of decisions this week
id know abit more abt purdue
do you guys take trips to chicago or indy sometimes
and by amtrak or bus (or car if you have one)
A lot of people do I don't
my friend at Purdue buses down to Indy somewhat regularly he tells me its easy to do
ur prolly egttin it friday
is this acceptance rate high i applied cuz i needed like 20 universities
is this good for pre-med
DYOR
what
!biggreen
do your own research (DYOR)
help LMAO im lazy to do that
theres pre med people here
do u guys have high gpa
ain’t no way bruh
so we do your work for u, because UR TOO LAZY TO DO UR OWN WORK?
wait what type of university is this
we have a pharmacy school
not that srs g
GOD SOME PPL PMO
😢
yea why wouldnt there be premeds
purdue isnt all engineering majors
is purdue even gud for premed
only 17 percent is engineering
oh its engineering
premed is a set of requirements
bro what grade r u in
LMAO senior
as long as you have a high gpa
and get those requirements youre good
theres alot of high achieving
high gpa pre meds here
oh rlly
yea
being this negligent and a senior is wild.
but the way you acting might negate that ability to succeed
:( bro dont reply to me if u dont wanna answer me
gotta do your own research
into school you apply to
cmon man
who applies blindly to colleges
MAYBE U PUT SOME EFFORT INTO THE SCHOOL ur applying to
!biggreen
ngl i just added it randomly
ngl ur right
purdue is a state univeristy that first and foremost serves the residents of indiana
that is not a false statement
this is wild to me
some of yall just walking this earth aimlessly
without a care in the world
I thought they were buns with liberal arts
bro what
I mean like seriously
what r u doing
bro that guy built different
HELP i only added this one randomly the other ones i thought abt okay
what did you wanna major in 😭
!biggreen
like biology
yea come to purdue
if you can afford it
and if you get in
R we serious
you would know that
okay
if you did a bit of research
ur asking about major scholorship to a school u knew nothing about 5 mins ago btw
im done bro
you fr wasted 60 bucks
hang it up
I don’t wanna pile onto the clown train, but what were you doing dawg lol
m.l gotta be ragebaiting
bro yea
or a fee waiver
my apps were freee brihhh
ppl like these who apply for timepass ruin odds for other ppl who genuinely wanna go
whatever
what is this selective
man if ur gonna apply to a school at least know the acceptance rate and whatever
go thru Reddit to see what ppl there gotta say
u js googled it r u serious
being too high
yall chill
bro
look it up, it's actually prestigious in the many liberal arts courses it offers. often praised for its rigor.
sending hate from Antarctica g
i hate liberal arts
sending hate from the north pole
guys stop hating
Nah bro you got beef with all of Purdue now
but lowkey gang
Learn how to research shit 😂
fr
!biggreen
😭
bro ain’t even know the ar of the college as a whole
Oh brother
dastardly work
well this is like the only school i didnt research please
hi chloe!
okay
holy lie
thank me later : )
lmao
Do your research
yeah idt it came out today either
my friend says nothing happened to his portal
yikes
Purdue alw be random asf lowkey
You need more than that but yes
holy ragebait man
no way wdym
which we do
so what makes it a cc then 🤷
so you're ignoring the college of science and the top 10 ranked college of engineering which also award such degrees
nonsense, what even is that? you're making stuff up, and atp i'm concerned other people will be misled
bro got rejected from purdue engineering 😂
I dont even understand what argument you're trying to makd
purdue
Very funny
Alr bro
Theyre just here to troll
Yes tbh pretty obvious
It isn’t an LAC
So they are correct
Dude come up with better bait
👍
bait? what's that. i only speak the truth. cope and seethe, spreader of misinformation, you who taint innocent souls.
@cloud panther does this count for rule 1
oopsies, sounds like i'm about to get banned.
I almost confused you with snowy 😭💀
Honestly not worth it dude is wasting his time
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wrong '29 gang 😭
this is not easy g
why did you ping yourself
northwestern gonna win
son
brk who is that
ez
every day i thank god im not ag idk how they do it
i... uhm kinda lost faith in purdue basketball atp 😔
should i watch it tho
No don’t do that
Better than GT basketball 😭
They fired their coach
gt is terrible our school athletes do not even think like gt over uga
Any rd predictions
its not that bad 😭
at least for the first 8 min
anyone who got deffered ea heard back from purdue?
there was a first wave in late feb
ohh
some of those deffered got an offer then
so far i havent heard of a second wave
yet
well ye ofc
unless they admitting like 200 undergrads
ye 😭
u shld get ur decision by 31st march
i know purdue usually releases decisions on a friday so im just stalking my email every friday lol
😭
gl!! im rooting for u ^ ^
thank you lol
purdue is leading by 8
and i've been crashing out
dang 😭
are those weighted?
Wsg pps
hallo!
just get a C or above dont stress too much
Doesnt purdue have a thing where like
As long as u get ur diploma u wont get rescinded?
ig ive been crashing out a lot from senioritis
well that's a bit much of an ask now innit 😭
also idk if it's okay to let go. like i'm scared that i'm not trying anymore
they might be concerned if u get below a C
I read ir somewhere
yeah purdude said
but idt they would rescind u over that
the prospect of not trying anymore
kinda scares me
but i literally cant bring myself to study lol so do i really have a chocie? is willpower and free will real?
I mean I'm at a low rn too but idt its senioritiz
senioritis gave me too many existential crises im crine 😭
I think it's just the brutalness of the rejections ive been facing
this week would be it trust
and next week
and the following week
uw madison is alr great tho!! sometimes rejections can make us forget what we already have
That's very true
this week is... pi day... 😭
I love uw madison too
I think it's just how I am I always set my standards so high
1:59 pm est
1:59 coz uhm 3.14 1:59 3.14159 haha so quirky
oh :p
I also only applied to crazy competitive colleges
funny
but on the bright side, u'd never live with the regret of "what if i applied"
Mit stanford caltech cmu northwestern cornell umich etc.
And I did my best
yep!! exactly ^ ^
and i didnt apply to more than half of those 😭
i think hope is one of the things that makes being human so beautiful
js take ur shot
isn't that what it's all about
But it does hurt to see the like 15 hours I spent on those essays go poof ykwim
stanford's 9 essays 😭✌️
but i don't regret applying to stanford
writing those essays were pretty fun
I cooked so much on those too
although i was hella stressed and crashing out
Also can purdue just give me my decision already
this me for the remainign 8 decisions im waiting for
real 😭
Dude I’m like tweaking out abt getting rescinded lmao
But thankfully I’m holding on with A’s and a few Bs
But I’m struggling in calc
To be motivated
bro is gettin deferred fye lowk cooked
i keep hearing shi that its basically wraps if u get deferred
like u wont get merit or anything or honors
i personally know quite a few ppl from prev yrs who got deferred from fye but accepted RD! don't lose hope :D
do u know when they release it
they said its in waves but
its been nearly 2 months
💀
last wave was like 2 weeks ago
iirc it was js anytime before march 31? but ive been hearing on here that the waves r usually on fridays
we can just hope atp
did you also get deferred fye
yup
waitlisted gt
ik it doenst matter
umich deferred
wait ur ga like me!?!??
i also got wailtisted gt
lmfao
bro its so crazy
they wud literally rescind if u had like ds anf fs
4 of my friends are aero+waitlist
wait join our server kid
all the aero kids got rjeected at my school
im last man standing
wait youre lambert
hollon imma send u an invite rq
alr

for georgia tech?
ye
come to purdue bae; we literally have neil armstrong 🤑
AND the world's biggest academic propulsion lab
they gotta let me in first bru
zucrow my beloved
they have to let me in
i glazed that lab
in my supplemental
i did that in my LOCI 😭
maybe i should have faith in purdue basketball 🥹
it wont last but make it count 😭
do you guys know when rd decisions might come out
maybe tomorrow for some people
if I dont get into uva tomorrow Im committing🚂
theres still many decisions to come
are you even coming to purdue?
the username shud say everything icl
well last we talked they were considering other options
thanks bro, you're right but honestly purdue is the one i have the best chance of getting into compared to the other schools i have left
we have no guarantee
monitor your email, wait for the notification and only then check
oh nah i alr got in
i was jus asking for myfriend
well tell him that lol
im alr comitted to purdue for ECE!!
no point in getting anxious over a decision
wait is that indy or wl
you're technically not in ece yet then tbf you're in fye
well yeah but ykwim
but that's sick !!
you just need to meet a GPA cutoff
if they release today will it be by 5 pm
can u technically do other engineering stuff after fye even if lets say u didnt apply and werent admitted for it
yes!
for FYE students you get two options to choose to transition to once your first year is done
all FYE students need to do this
if you don't get accepted into either you can do other classes (generally gen-eds) and increase your GPA, they run the transition process thrice a year
uw cs holy cracked
im not that cracked 💀
is it wednesday or friday
2% acceptance rate btw
I’ll be home in 6 hours twin
gooooood
god i wish
i'm stuck on campus over break
Getting some bagels in Chicago and then I’ll have an hour to get to my gate before my plane leaves 💀
this is gonna suck so much
worst airport btw 🥀
im sorry i said it
Nah it’s lit
we talking about the same airport??
i guess there is a good deep dish place
could be a different terminal
maybe
@trim herald go to frontera grill if you're in terminal 1 !!
so worth it for the plane ride
or pronto
wait guys
i got in for physics
is it possible to transfer into fye
before coming into the school
had a change of heart
congrats!
dont think so
when you are at purdue i think you can
eh its ok
if you do well in prereqs
ill just transfer year 2
i have enough ap credits to take me out of math and physics for the first year
5 on e&m, mechanics, and calc bc
gotcha
i think i can just take the eng/cs classes if i test out of everything else
might buy the clep for chemistry too
im in no position to give any advice
but if you do allat, and go straight into harder classes your grades might tank
like i dont know you , but if you are confident thats good
then you dont have anything to worry about
yea
im not commited yet
i wanna go to gatech so bad
comes out rd on march 27th oos
oh shit ok
niceeee
was praying for an accept but its ok
i hope they take you
our school gets 2 gatechs a year and only 2 people got deferred
everyone else reject
so hopefully
praying bro ty
its my dream school
so fucking cheap and so fucking worth it
but would not be mad at all if go to purdue
im just worried abt social life at these schools
people keep telling purdue is dead asl
fr
if i dont get into michigan or ucla or ucb
i prob gonna go to purdue
word
honestly all these colleges arent cheap
as of RN im between udub and gatech
but there is a small chance i get something else to consider
agreeed
take tech bro
MACS seems great
And placement into SWE roles @ Stripe and other tech cos is amazing
UW is great for like Amazon and tech placement too tho ig
So u cant go wrong
with either
placement is lowkey the last thing i'd care about
you will get good jobs from either of them
do you like the campus? courses on offer? facilities you can use? faculty? would you prefer to be closer to home?
all things i'd consider before considering jobs given the two colleges
