sycqau

#

shut your cary quad ass up

unique owl
#

Are yall in some sorta LCs rn

glacial elm
unique owl
lunar cypress
#

im in like

hoary quartz
lunar cypress
#

the most basic normal dorm in the campus

#

there is nothing special about the dorm

#

it is The Dorm of all time

glacial elm
#

ok as long as it don’t have cockroaches or mold we did

#

gud

hoary quartz
#

thats off campus housing

#

and hawkins

lunar cypress
hoary quartz
#

for dudes

#

its nice

#

quite

#

and has a park in it

glacial elm
#

🙏

hoary quartz
#

then dont do that

lunar cypress
#

oh yeah i mean review the prices as well

#

to see what would work

#

but the non a/c doubles (owen, tark, wiley) are the ones which generally have a cockroach problem

#

and hawkins i guess but people tell me it's only the second and third floors

#

out of thirteen

hoary quartz
#

cary south is non a/c

#

and has no cockroach problem

#

but its only dudes

#

cary east, west, northeast and northwest are ac dorms with no problems

glacial elm
#

gotchu gotchu

unique owl
#

I heard that LCs can assign you housing

lunar cypress
#

the housing an LC occupies rotates year to year

unique owl
#

I see

lunar cypress
#

the only one that's guaranteed is data mine and hillenbrand i think

hoary quartz
#

i did vip

#

and they gave me cary quad

#

the best choice of all time

lunar cypress
#

vip is in shreve this year aint it

unique owl
#

I was planning on doing either the women in engineering one or the vip one

hoary quartz
#

its always in shreve

#

but i never got shreve

#

which was a good thing

lunar cypress
#

ah

#

WiE is usually in meredith south

#

which is a really nice dorm

hoary quartz
#

its better than vip

#

just do WiE for all 4 years

unique owl
#

My friend who's a first year told me to do WIE

#

she said it's awesome

hoary quartz
#

it is

lunar cypress
#

i got aspire for housing next year but i'm going to try to swap to hawkins or another single somewhere (maybe south hall? idk)

#

cause my priorities changed a fair amount

narrow lily
#

the horror

#

ty!

#

ty!

#

i bet all on yes ?

junior relic
#

I’m a basic bitch major

narrow lily
junior relic
#

Lmfao

#

Do you just want me to tell you

narrow lily
#

sure

#

some type of eng?

narrow lily
junior relic
narrow lily
#

damn it i was going to guess that but hesitated

#

thats cool tho im thinking of potentially transferring into it if im interested enough

junior relic
tame slate
#

Is phy241 difficult

cobalt cloud
#

@inner smelt im feeling a wave today

#

its happening

patent cloak
#

how would a wave happen on a tuesday lmao

cobalt cloud
#

lmao

inner smelt
#

my spring break is next week so I need to know if I should visit or not

safe spindle
#

but i hope you all hear back soon

#

i know this time is incredibly stressful

cobalt cloud
#

spring break ends on the 18th so tmr no?

safe spindle
cobalt cloud
#

admissions open on the 18th for all universities

#

thats what UMD told me over mail

#

umd sorry

safe spindle
#

okay but unis have different spring breaks

#

💀

cobalt cloud
#

wait RLY

safe spindle
#

we are purdue, not umd

cobalt cloud
#

i thought it was the same for all

#

dang

#

myb

cobalt cloud
fair sandal
#

nice

narrow lily
#

i'm still researching them

junior relic
#

Gotcha

#

I’d look at the catalog

#

See what classes you have to take

#

And think about how much you’d like/ hate them

#

I think I saw a guy double majoring in physics and ME but I wouldn’t recommend. ME is a lot of work

narrow lily
junior relic
#

No problem

narrow lily
junior relic
#

I’d look into prereqs tho lmk if you need help

narrow lily
#

ty!

high swift
#

aint happening

cobalt cloud
cobalt cloud
#

ROFL

safe spindle
cobalt cloud
#

so its looking pretty grim for multiple waves no?

#

might jus be one mega wave

safe spindle
cobalt cloud
#

i actually feel bad

#

SIKE I DONT I HOPE ALL PPL WAITING SUCK

#

jk

glacial elm
patent cloak
#

i need a wave today bro

glacial elm
#

bro ain’t getting a wave

cobalt cloud
narrow lily
#

🌊

high swift
#

Did we get one?

#

Sm1 check

narrow lily
#

if I decide to CODO to mech or aero, is it better to CODO to FYE first? and what about civil?

#

from what I read it seems so but I wanted to see here as well

hoary quartz
hoary quartz
#

You're gonna have better chances to get into mechanical

#

And I think civil engineering, you can just do it directly

patent cloak
#

like that one dude said

#

its spring break rn

high swift
#

yeah but

#

tufts coming tmr

#

bc came today

patent cloak
#

they probably have different spring breaks

high swift
#

yeah ig so

patent cloak
#

wait no

#

tufts spring break is rn

#

same as purdue i think

high swift
#

purdue jsut forgot about us gng

#

leave it

patent cloak
#

Bro Purdue AO's are slacking 🥀

high swift
#

whats ur best acc

#

yet

patent cloak
#

did you get deferred

patent cloak
high swift
#

acceptance

high swift
#

applied rd

patent cloak
high swift
#

i see

#

what major

patent cloak
#

i got waitlisted from gt 🥀

patent cloak
high swift
#

ayy

#

same

patent cloak
#

deferred fye 😭

high swift
#

i only heard back from uiuc

patent cloak
#

did ya make it

high swift
#

yeah

#

aero

patent cloak
#

nice nice

#

did u apply gt

high swift
#

yeah

#

i'll get it on 27th

#

im intl😭

patent cloak
#

bro im kinda stupid for not getting it in state ngl

#

i mean waitlisted aint rejection but still

#

and purdue oos is surely harder

high swift
#

chill out

#

just take it lightly

#

happens

high swift
patent cloak
#

bro i was in gt math too 😭 😭

#

and got an A

high swift
#

😭

#

uh

#

happens to the best of us

#

doesnt it

patent cloak
high swift
#

nahh

#

aero

#

purdue

#

intl

#

tuff

#

shit

patent cloak
#

aero is just insanity at gt umich uiuc etc

#

this year specifically

high swift
#

yeah idk how i made to uiuc

patent cloak
#

i think top aero colleges are stanford mit caltech gtech purdue and umich

high swift
hoary quartz
#

I think y'all should think about mechanical engineer

patent cloak
#

i tink uiuc may be a lil under

patent cloak
hoary quartz
#

See something you'd need to understand is that in this day and age, the aerospace corporations are all looking for non aerospace engineers

high swift
#

purdue is 5

#

uiuc is 7

hoary quartz
#

Because they know that the aerospace engineers are all trying to go for these companies

high swift
#

stanny is lower

hoary quartz
#

But when you're a mechanical engineer, it means that you willingly chose to do aerospace engineering things

hoary quartz
patent cloak
#

wait i dont get why aero companies would choose a mech e over an aero

#

explain plsss

high swift
hoary quartz
high swift
hoary quartz
#

The skill sets are not hyper specialized.So you can have a mechanical engineering intern do a lot more things

high swift
hoary quartz
#

Aerospace engineering isn't bad per se, but it's just that there's more skills from mechanical engineers, because they get a lot more hands on experiences in their coursework

patent cloak
#

yeah i understand that but logically shouldnt an aero one be better at aero stuff...

hoary quartz
hoary quartz
#

But because their pinholed into one industry usually

high swift
patent cloak
#

so ur saying if we make Purdue we should go for ME after FYE?

hoary quartz
#

It means that if they don't get the experience in aerospace engineering, then they're usually cooked for jobs

#

Because there are other industries where aerospace engineers can go into, but it is a lot harder than aerospace and aeronautical companies

#

But when it comes to mechanical engineers and electrical engineers, they will literally choose to do this.So the companies see that their interdisciplinary skill sets are a lot more applicable

patent cloak
#

aero engineering sounds way cooler lmao 😭

#

but yeah

hoary quartz
#

Like a mechanical engineer has circuit experience from their coursework and I do a lot more hands on manufacturing

patent cloak
#

i get what u mean

high swift
hoary quartz
#

If you wanna get any hands on experience, you're gonna have to do clubs

#

And there's nothing wrong with this

#

But a lot of times a lot of the aero people want to be working on it in their courses

patent cloak
hoary quartz
#

And a lot of people come to find out that they're gonna have to wait till senior year to even do any of the cool things

#

Which is, why is this degree?Is exactly what you like?Then go for it

#

But a lot of times what you like is usually in a mechanical engineering program

#

At the end of the day, it's whatever you choose to do

high swift
#

i see

#

damn

hoary quartz
#

But being pinholed into one industry does come with the downsides of being pinholed into one industry

patent cloak
#

i mean you can still call urself an aero engineer with a mech degree if u land lockheed or sometin

hoary quartz
#

But I have seen aerospace engineers in other fields, like tech, manufacturing is a big forall of us

patent cloak
#

are you mech btw

hoary quartz
#

You pretty much just get the benefit of a higher g p a

patent cloak
#

i see

hoary quartz
#

Aerospace is smaller, so you do get more close access to professors

patent cloak
#

Is this the same at other colleges such as georgia tech?

hoary quartz
#

I am a mechanical engineer

#

This is a general industry wide thing

high swift
#

how i thought about it was see, the job market is cooked right. So if companies want actual good people in one field, they'd take a person who has a specialization in that field. like going bachelors in aero shows ur completely into that field. there you get an advantage.

hoary quartz
#

I initially got this information after I graduated, and I started talking to some aerospace engineering alumni

hoary quartz
#

That is exactly what I thought

high swift
#

But

patent cloak
high swift
#

ur point

#

makes a lot of sense

patent cloak
#

u have so many more options

hoary quartz
#

But it seems like companies would rather go for a less specialized individual.That they can make into their prime future employee

high swift
hoary quartz
#

But again, you don't only have to do mechanical

#

Electrical engineering is another one

patent cloak
#

my dad told me to switch to mech as well 😭 😭

hoary quartz
#

A bigger one these days is industrial

high swift
hoary quartz
#

In that situation like you just wanna go all the way through hyper.Specialize

high swift
hoary quartz
#

That's what a lot of people say

#

And that is actually what a lot of people do

patent cloak
#

i feel like most people do that for the aura

hoary quartz
#

Most people do not do a phd

#

It simply takes five years out of your life that you could be doing at a company

high swift
hoary quartz
#

There's been a bigger promotion of doing a phd by a lot of the academia

#

It's mainly because they're losing their supply of future professors to industry

patent cloak
#

also how hard is it to land an internship 2nd year me

hoary quartz
#

Because at the moment, the space industry is on the up and coming

hoary quartz
high swift
trail escarp
hoary quartz
#

I have yet to get an internship

trail escarp
#

we are ALL doing a phd

hoary quartz
#

I am not doing that

high swift
hoary quartz
#

Well, I may do it, it's completely dependent on what the financials come out to be

patent cloak
#

How tf did that lover guy get purdue but not vtech

#

damn

hoary quartz
trail escarp
patent cloak
#

wait why

high swift
trail escarp
#

no clue

#

smth in general chat

hoary quartz
#

Actually, now, i've realized that there are international students in aerospace engineering.So never mind

#

It's just that you're gonna have a hard time getting things

#

A lot of times it's the national laboratories that are going to be your saving grace

patent cloak
high swift
patent cloak
#

like bro tell me what that means

hoary quartz
#

It means that they're gonna keep you there until they have space

#

It might be all the way into july

patent cloak
#

no

hoary quartz
#

That's what happened to a friend of mine.When I was applying

patent cloak
#

i meant the institurional thing

hoary quartz
#

They kept on deferring him and putting him onto the waitlist

#

He had already committed by the time they finally rejected him

high swift
#

well

patent cloak
#

i got deferred

#

then waitlisted

#

its so sad

hoary quartz
#

That's how jobs are gonna be

high swift
#

i think the one out of the selective number of uni's i applied mech to was cornell

#

so

patent cloak
#

deferred from a job 🥀

high swift
#

ig

hoary quartz
#

Yeah, you might get a lot of rejections

high swift
#

we cooked

hoary quartz
#

That place is known for the depressed environment

patent cloak
#

i shuda applied to cornell ngl

high swift
patent cloak
#

lmao

high swift
#

ithica

#

is isolated af

hoary quartz
#

Bro oh my god, Ithaca ny might be one of the worst places to spend four years in

#

I thought this place was bad

high swift
#

in the mountains

hoary quartz
#

Where we are at right now is literally heaven compared to that town

high swift
#

damn

#

ur scaring me

hoary quartz
#

You wanna be in a place that has a good population but also is close to something

#

What's lafayette is perfect

#

West*

#

It's two hours away from chicago

#

It's an hour away from indianapolis

#

There's a lot of colleges around us that host parties.And events

patent cloak
#

chicago always getting bombed

#

in movies

#

lmao

hoary quartz
#

You really get to enjoy that cosmopolitan college experience

patent cloak
hoary quartz
#

If you go to ithaca new york

#

You're gonna be traveling a low longer to get to anything cool

patent cloak
#

the name ithaca tells me they nerdy ass dudes

#

odysseus ahh blud

high swift
#

i should have applied to uw seattle and stuff

#

gosh i only applied to top schools

patent cloak
#

"i only applied to reaches" yt vids 🥀

high swift
#

bro ong

#

this is the

#

list

#

😭

patent cloak
#

...

#

r u intl in another country

#

or intl in the us

high swift
#

int'l in another country

#

ggs

patent cloak
#

💀

high swift
#

in that country too

#

im an immigrant

#

there's levels to ts

patent cloak
#

wtf

#

bros an alien

high swift
#

but hey

#

we made it to uiuc

#

idk how lowk

#

i wrote them supps in 30 mins

patent cloak
#

those 30 minutes were blessed by shakespeare, mark twain, and leo tolstoy all at once

high swift
#

nah

#

i used essays from another uni

#

catered it to the needs of uiuc

#

🪽

#

i read em they sound pretty straightforward and basic to me

narrow lily
patent cloak
#

wait lowk since purdue 1st wave was feb 24

#

2nd must be march 24

high swift
#

stop w the logics

#

just

#

chill

#

sleep

patent cloak
#

never stress

high swift
#

fr

#

whatever gon hapen

#

will happen

fair sandal
#

overall

#

so u dont have to be so stressed over purdue 😭

hoary quartz
#

It's damn near the same

#

You're literally comparing grains of sands level of differences

#

The individual grains of sands are very different.But on the grand scheme of things

#

Between two bodies of sand it's all the same

#

The individual differences are like the school location and the school themselves

#

But an engineer from one school and an engineer from the other school can both lead very successful careers because they learn pretty much the same thing

patent cloak
fair sandal
#

basically the same but since uiuc is ranked higher overall

#

more of the rankings lean uiuc

#

both t10 engineering tho

patent cloak
#

i mean i was talking specifically for aeroo

#

lmao

fair sandal
#

oh

#

well ye

#

but its abt the same

patent cloak
#

are u the hihihihi guy

hoary quartz
#

Guys ranking doesn't matter

#

Maybe besides like a master's program

#

But even then, it's just getting the degree

#

It really does come down to just getting the degree

fair sandal
#

to that account

#

they just had to make me verify to a gmail account i created 4 years ago

#

and i forgot the password to it so

#

ye 💀

atomic socket
#

Well I apparently got in purdue like 3 weeks ago lmao

glacial elm
#

son

atomic socket
#

how late am I 💀

high swift
#

wow

#

wats the chance of being able to switch major to cs from cybersecurity at purdue

#

@trail escarp do u know if purdue cyber is good cus i did some research, and the acceptance rate for that major is rlly high, and it isnt at college of engineering but at the poly inst, and the rank #4 on us world news is for the cs major specifically, not the cyber major

trail escarp
# wanton pike <@1064365234481008741> do u know if purdue cyber is good cus i did some research...

yeah so cyber is very different from cs, it’s in the polytech school not dept of cs, so it’s extremely detached. since it’s in polytech, it’s more hands on and less theoretical, letting u get more practical experience
however, the acceptance rate doesn’t dictate the quality of the program, it’s still a very good program if u want a job right after college. @trim herald is cybersec major so u can ask him more specific questions, or u can ask me for general purdue stuff!

trail escarp
wanton pike
trail escarp
#

calc 2 is one of the worst courses here

#

calc 3 is substantially easier

trim herald
#

they teach you a lot of hands on stuff that's good for practical knowledge

#

for example in my cybersecurity fundamentals class, we've done labs on phishing, cryptography, linux, and other useful things that you need to know for the job market

#

almost all of the classes in the major are very helpful for teaching you real world skils that you'll need

#

If you have any major specific questions just lmk

kindred chasm
#

bruh they needa hurry up and post my acceptane

trail escarp
#

Most of the stuff im learning in classes isnt rly useful at all

#

It’s very theoretical and abstract which is fine I guess but they aren’t teaching any useful ai concepts in classes, everything directly useful and applicable im learning through my ECs 😔

wanton pike
hoary quartz
#

The cia likes cybersecurity more

patent cloak
#

maybe they will release a wave today

#

🤣

glacial elm
unique owl
hoary quartz
#

Its spring break

#

They not sending shit

#

Wait til monday

merry fog
#

Is it possible to change to electrical or comp eng fom cs?

#

@hoary quartz

hoary quartz
#

Yes

#

But its hard

#

Like real hard

merry fog
merry fog
hoary quartz
#

And since it might take 3 semesters

#

Even lower chances

#

The closer your major is to engineering

#

The easier you have to fit the codo clssses

merry fog
#

Wat

hoary quartz
#

Refer to this

hoary quartz
#

So the codo would happen at least the second semester

merry fog
#

Oh I see

hoary quartz
#

But unless you have incoming credit

#

It might take you 3 total from the start to get the process done

#

Once youre in fye

#

Its easier

#

So aim to get into fye

merry fog
#

Because i took cs when applying just in case but there is a high chanc i would wanna change majorssince im into electrical as of now

merry fog
hoary quartz
#

No

#

Check this out for direct exe

hoary quartz
#

Heres the first year engineering codo requirements

#

Better to codo into fye

#

Than directly into ece

glacial elm
#

calc 2

#

isnt that

#

like

#

the hardest course at purdue

inner smelt
trail escarp
trim herald
trim ermine
#

i hear that purdue is quite difficult, i’m currently self studying both ap physics C courses and j see that purdue offers credits for physics 172 and 272 for a 5 in each respective test, but some people recommend taking them even if you do have credit since purdue is hard

#

any opinions?

#

this is assuming i get into purdue and get 5s but

trail escarp
#

any credit you can waive please do waive, its not worth taking the class here and potentially hurting ur gpa

trim ermine
#

yeah that’s what i figured

#

it seemed like bogus advice

lunar cypress
#

difficulty varies based on which calc course you're taking (162 vs 166) and who's running it

#

there is generally a pretty big curve end of semester

quartz sand
#

Hi

#

When is next round of acceptances

lunar cypress
#

we do not know,

#

it is entirely random, just wait for the email that tells you your decision is released

quartz sand
#

Okur

lunar cypress
#

idk about other profs but the two of them explain really well and are pretty generous with the curve

narrow lily
#

if you know off the top of your head

glacial elm
lunar cypress
glacial elm
#

that’s lowkey

#

not even that bad but the course itself is hard

patent cloak
#

thank god i just did calc bc

lunar cypress
#

calc 3 is still coming for you 🔥

trim ermine
#

i should be fine i’m good at calc tho

#

hopefully

lunar cypress
#

it's a fun class

#

tedious but fun

trim ermine
#

calc 3 is multivariable right

lunar cypress
#

yup

trim ermine
#

neat

patent cloak
#

so next tuesday

#

im predicting

#

3/24

trim ermine
#

sure hope so

languid comet
trim ermine
worn harbor
#

Same here

#

Lowk haven’t gotten started yet though… gulps

trim ermine
#

me neither 😭 we got this tho

junior relic
safe spindle
#

geneds can be nice to boost gpa ^

#

just think cautiously about that

junior relic
#

sure purdue got boosters and interesting classes and whatnot

#

but ion wanna be 'forced' to take these classes to graduate

junior relic
safe spindle
#

hell yeah

safe spindle
junior relic
#

also @safe spindle how does the scholarly project req work

#

cuz uh

#

doing surf this summer

safe spindle
#

you have to 'apply' for it to count but they accept anything i can find the link for you

junior relic
#

goated

safe spindle
#

and then you have to present it

junior relic
#

yes please send me the link 🧎‍♀️

junior relic
safe spindle
#

but iassume since ur SURFing itll be fine and youll present at summer expo or smth

#

or you can wait and do it at fall expo

junior relic
#

question

#

im doing honr 220 this coming fall

#

can i do my presentation before that?

safe spindle
#

and then once you present you fill out another form and thats that

junior relic
#

like in the summer

#

am i an honors studnet in the summer?

safe spindle
#

i dont see why not

#

you can do scholarly project at any point

junior relic
#

ill just ask

safe spindle
#

do you have an honors advisor yet? id ask them

junior relic
#

i lowk bothered onyx so much

junior relic
junior relic
safe spindle
#

oh yes ive heard

#

my honors advisor sucks

#

but hes only college of science i think

junior relic
safe spindle
junior relic
#

ah never spoken to him before

#

ii mainly talk to the people in HCRN

#

as long as i dont get phelan it's okay

#

cuz i think extalkingstage has phelan

#

and thatd be kinda funny

safe spindle
#

yeah hes over in lilly

#

also it wont even be hcrn soon

#

itll be LEES in the fall

junior relic
#

WHAT

#

WHY

#

what about south then

safe spindle
#

itll still be south..

junior relic
#

LMFAOOOO

safe spindle
#

yeah ur telling me

#

but we'll all still be honors RAs

junior relic
#

also do u know where the urban matters lab is? it says its based in north but idk where it is

safe spindle
#

uhh

#

no

junior relic
safe spindle
#

yeah since i RA in south all my kids will always be in honors

junior relic
#

bruh

#

ok

unique owl
#

Lowk regret not applying honors college meltingsob meltingsob meltingsob

fair sandal
unique owl
#

May do a learning community tho

#

Bc I’ve heard they’re hella fun

fair sandal
#

theres alot of other fun stuff tho

unique owl
#

Yeah

#

all good tho if I really do feel like im missing out I’ll apply for honors later on

#

But I highly doubt I’ll be missing out 😭

fair sandal
#

even tho honors does give u more opportunities

safe spindle
fair sandal
#

thats a pretty good perk

unique owl
#

Is it rather difficult to get any research opportunities and/or internships as a non-honors student???

trail escarp
#

im not in honors and research is very easy to get and its awesome

#

since i assume ur engineering theres a million and ten labs u can join :D

unique owl
#

Yay!!

unique owl
fair sandal
#

how long do i have to commit for those

#

cuz idk im prob the type to spam these when its relatively chill in the first month of college

glacial elm
#

well

#

unfortunately

#

im most likely not going

#

to purdue

#

this fall

languid comet
#

Ours offers only mech im taking it

trim ermine
#

nice

#

i’m js self studying both

#

shouldn’t be too hard since i’m good at physics and calc (hopefully)

im in three 😁

#

it’s taking heavily away from the amount of time im spending on classes, but I love them so much

trail escarp
#

but I also hate committing and not delivering so I just stick

fair sandal
#

i sacrifised abit of my grades for them

fair sandal
#

shadow them?

#

then make u do it urself afterwards?

safe spindle
#

3 is crazy

#

my lab requires a min if 10 hours a week, 30 hours of research + classes would be insane e

trail escarp
trail escarp
#

Just one hour in person meetings a week for each usually

safe spindle

safe spindle
#

im actually not in a bio lab im in a psych lab is the closest discipline

fair sandal
#

so basically arnd 10 hrs a week for labs

#

unless they open on weekends ig the max i can handle is like 2

safe spindle
#

and your ability to actually secure said lab

fair sandal
#

ig

#

for labs do some need interviews

safe spindle
#

many do

fair sandal
#

ah

#

i guess

#

whats the app process like

safe spindle
#

when i was applying to labs i interviewed with 3 different ones

#

it varies depending on the lab

#

you cant just generalize stuff like that

fair sandal
#

im just scared that they just ask abt stuff like "oh do you know smt specific like aldol condensation reaction"

#

then if i dont i get rejected

hoary quartz
#

depends on the professor

fair sandal
#

😭 well i do hope they list out what they are doing

#

so i might do some research on it

high swift
safe spindle
#

fun fact i didn’t know what that was until i took orgo 2 in my sophomore year of college why would you judge someone for not knowing that, especially someone whose not in uni yet.

#

not everyone gets the same education and that’s not our fault

#

and even throughout the US education is not really standardized at all

you should not assume someone just knows something because its the standard for your school

fair sandal
#

i didnt in 9th grade

#

but a few of my classmates did

#

but honestly for research there is prob always some mechanism you dont know

trim ermine
#

i don’t know what aldol condensation is and i’m a senior in all APs so

unique owl
#

I just found out what that is by googling it js now

trail escarp
#

never heard of it in my life

eternal lotus
#

asian studies are very different

#

cant compare

#

but like if you move to america its not standardized if you have the brains to study organic you can do it in 10th grade taking dual enrolls and stuff

trim ermine
#

i wish i pushed my curriculum more throughout hs

#

i did a very standard track

#

but if i started in like middle school i could’ve skipped one maybe even two years of math and there’s more stuff

eternal lotus
trim ermine
#

true

#

i have years ahead of me

#

i’m also glad i got to be in classes with my friends

#

actually yeah my calc class is like my favorite class i’m glad i took it slow

#

+my hs gave me the award for excellence for math so i’m not doing bad

patent echo
#

Would appealing somewhere in April help me get in?

#

They don't?

patent cloak
#

lads

#

it may be over for us

#

last waves are usually rejections/waitlists 😬

tepid valley
#

#

high swift
#

Damn

#

Bro

#

You'll get in

#

Rooting for you

patent cloak
#

#

thats what i keep hearing

#

#

by this time

fair sandal
patent cloak
#

bro mad for nothing

patent cloak
#

ion expect anything from Purdue since they didnt bother to release a second wave even before that lmaoo

tired zinc
#

Pretty sure there has been 2 btw

fair sandal
#

like no one said they got accepted between end feb and now

tired zinc
inner smelt
#

I checked wave releases for last 2 years and I think they released on break for both

#

So probably second wave thiss Friday

tired zinc
#

I received mine 2 months ago

fair sandal
fair sandal
#

or ed

tired zinc
fair sandal
#

cuz we were refering to rd 😭

#

theres only 1 wave for rd

tired zinc
#

Oh I thought it was all together

fair sandal
near horizon
#

lmao just wait for friday

#

not that deep

fair sandal
#

some ppl like me applied for rd

#

so

#

for us theres only 1 wave

inner smelt
#

If there’s no wave tomorrow, I guess I’ll just have to accept myself

tired zinc
patent cloak
#

lets hold hands and pray

#

Its literally spring break

#

Why would they release anything on spring break

tired zinc
#

My spring break ended like two weeks ago lol

inner smelt
fringe remnant
#

I’m so cooked

junior relic
#

how are you ritvik

fringe remnant
#

Doing alright

#

I was supposed to be doing way more studying cause I havnt paid attention in the last week

#

But I’ve done the complete opposite

#

How about you

narrow lily
#

do people tend to go home during school-year breaks? especially oos

trail escarp
#

Get me out of here

trail escarp
finite ether
junior relic
fringe remnant
#

Some people stay cause it’s too expensive to travel or they don’t see the worth in going back

#

Like my roommate doesn’t go home for fall break cause it’s pretty short

#

I didn’t go home for thanksgiving my first year cause it was over 600 bucks to go home and the semester was going to end two weeks after the break anyway

#

So I was like might as well wait it out till the end

#

But usually if you can’t go home, you try to go somewhere else

#

Like travel to a different destination

unique owl
#

Do most students typically leave campus during the end of semester and spring break?

fringe remnant
#

Or day trip to Chicago or Indy or something

#

Yes

#

Campus is dead whenever there is a break

#

Only a handful of people stay back

unique owl
#

Is there also a thanksgiving break?

fringe remnant
#

Yes

unique owl
#

oh I see

fringe remnant
#

Officially it’s only two days plus the weekend

#

But most professors cancel classes that week

unique owl
#

Ohhh I see

fringe remnant
#

So realistically it’s a week long break

unique owl
#

How long is the break between semesters?

fringe remnant
#

Three weeks

unique owl
#

I see I see

fringe remnant
#

Yup

#

We used to a have a month between fall and spring

#

But then they decided to change the start date which ended up reducing winter break

unique owl
fringe remnant
#

Usually

#

Not Purdue tho

unique owl
#

bc a lot of college students come to our hs to visit old teachers and whatnot

fringe remnant
#

Yeah

unique owl
#

And they told me that their break is a month long

unique owl
lunar cypress
#

because uhhhhhhhhhh yeah

image.png
#

but yeah most people do

#

the people staying back are mostly internationals and people who live further out

#

in state people are gone by like fucking thursday lmao

narrow lily
#

thank you!!

#

ooh 3 weeks is cool

safe spindle
#

but im about a 4-5 hour drive from campus

quartz sand
#

When is next predicted batch

late stream
#

it could coz then it only leaves them 1 day (if I assume they release only on Fridays).
the real question is if the feb wave was the only acceptance wave? and did they just forget to give out the rejected students some closure.

jagged orbit
#

Highly highly doubt they wouldn’t send out rejection so there’ll be another wave sooner or later

sullen robin
#

So we thinking it depends on when you sent your application?

jagged orbit
#

Prolly not, I sent mine the day before it was due and I received my decision in the feb wave

#

Got a friend who applied wayyy earlier and still hasn’t received theirs

sullen robin
#

Hmm

#

location then?

#

Assuming ur friend doesnt live near uou

#

Cuz im international

jagged orbit
#

Nah we’re IRL friendss

sullen robin
#

Ahh

jagged orbit
#

So I think it might just be random

sullen robin
#

But that would mean theres a system that intentionally shuffles the applications woldnt it

jagged orbit
#

🤷‍♂️ colleges are weird

#

Goodluck tho!

#

hopefully it comes out soon
