[junior relic]

@proper maple wtf is biomol design

bro is a guinea pig for a new interdisc major

[junior sun]

@safe spindle if u dont mind me asking, do u have any photos of what a typical honors dorm room looks like? js curious ;-;

[safe spindle]

i can dm

[languid comet]

Fye

[daring beacon]

purdue business anyone?

[trail escarp]

hell yeah we love guinea pig majors

[ornate creek]

can you dm the honors dorm room photos to me asw?

[proper maple]

Cs+biochem

[junior relic]

17 credits in CS thats barely a minor lol

[proper maple]

listen man its something unique

I wanna do it cause I think it'll help me

[junior relic]

im aware

how so

[proper maple]

a little bit of a cs background can help me a lot with ai stuff

[junior relic]

@trail escarp your buddy

[proper maple]

most of the advancements nowadays in drug discovery and other forms of treatment are using ai

[trail escarp]

ai hell yeah

[trail escarp]

ai for scientific development is so so so so cool

I wish I knew more about science stuff because omg it’s fascinating

[proper maple]

yea its pretty cool

like for example

protein folding was almost unpredictable, and literally no one will know how a protein folds and what type of protein to make, because there's so much variablility with the folding that our brains aren't big enough to store that infoand also its too overwhelming to try and predict

ai rn is being used to predict protein folding

because of its immense computing power

[trail escarp]

alphafold my beloved

[proper maple]

indeed

there's also stuff with CRISPR that I really am interested in

so I want a more biotech focused background rather than just a simple biochem thing

[junior relic]

cant u just major in biochem minor in cs

[proper maple]

I mean yea

[junior relic]

i feel like the cs minor is more useful

[trail escarp]

yeahhh but tbh you’ll learn more outside of class than inside of class for the ai stuff

[junior relic]

than the cs class in biomol

[proper maple]

but it really makes more no difference to me

[trail escarp]

look into research groups they’re great

[proper maple]

yea yea I already have a professor I wanna work under

I wrote about it in my essays

[trail escarp]

oooh awesome glgl!!

[proper maple]

this guy

[junior relic]

r u thinking phd

[proper maple]

yea

[junior relic]

fun

[proper maple]

what do u wanna do?

[junior relic]

idk

still figuring it out

[proper maple]

ul be fine

[junior relic]

eh

we'l see

[proper maple]

do u wanna be more stem oriented or more into liberal arts?

[junior relic]

nah i said idk what i wanna do moreso idk industry or phd

ill do a masters but idk what after that

[proper maple]

in what

like major

[junior relic]

mecheng

im a soph in mecheng

[proper maple]

oh wait I jsut realized ur a soph

im dumb

[junior relic]

lol

[proper maple]

anyways you're like half the population of purdue

how does that feel

[junior relic]

im aware im a basic bitch

[junior relic]

superior

[proper maple]

I have like 2 friends doing mech e rn at purdue

[junior relic]

soph?

[proper maple]

vanilla is basic but im still its bitch

[proper maple]

one soph one freshman

[junior relic]

oooh i might know the soph idk

[proper maple]

going to purdue for mech e is like going to umich for buisness

like yea its basic

but its good so who gaf

[proper maple]

maybe

[junior relic]

dawg im beating a dead horse but

ik a guy

oos aero and switched into psych and soc after first sem

cuz blud couldnt handle phys 1

sorry im typing with 1 hand so im slow

[junior relic]

shi i guess

i dont think about it much

[fervent smelt]

should i send another loci after being deferred and now waitlisted for fye

[wispy dove]

Guys, all the ppl on waitlist, will get result on a single day or like those who get acce0ted early will get it earlier

[proper maple]

does this guy you speak of have a lot of facial hair

and from nj

actually wait no he was never in aero

so you prolly dont know him

[junior relic]

Maybe

[junior relic]

No PNW actually

[proper maple]

Yea then u dont know him

[junior relic]

Aight

[worthy trout]

kelley blows purdue out of the water if you wanna do investment banking

if it’s ece/ee, cmu

anything else purdue’s a no brainer

[wispy dove]

hi, should u send LOCI for west lafayette college of enginerring

[delicate current]

Just dropping this here for anyone interested in aerospace/rockets. I did this as an incoming freshman and am now mentoring a group for my second summer, it was a really valuable experience and a great way to get involved early https://www.linkedin.com/posts/are-you-an-incoming-freshman-eager-to-start-share-7446959048576528385-ErFn?

[hoary quartz]

its super cool fr

[proper maple]

kelley is infinitely better at buisness. Unfortunately thats the only thing IU is better at

[glacial elm]

better social life too

😂

[unique owl]

Are these projects typically in person? Bc during the summer I’ll be traveling a lot

[delicate current]

Nope, all virtual

[unique owl]

:000 wait this is so cool imma sign up for this

tysm for letting me know!!

[fringe remnant]

They are both hard to get in but epics is a much easier application than vip

It also depends on what you want to do

VIP is good for research and epics is good for hands on engineering projects

[tender hazel]

do I need to apply to epics/vip now or can I wait

[trail escarp]

if ur joining through data mine then i believe u have to apply for data mine itself first and in that process they ask which cohort u want to do

for engineering im less sure

[fervent smelt]

is it worth sending a second loci to purdue if ur on the waitlist?

[tender hazel]

Yea I looked into engineering and it was weird cause I could apply for thi fall but I wasn’t sure if I should

[trail escarp]

U should email data mine, they’re very friendly and respond quickly

[tame slate]

Committed to purdue cs

[proper maple]

nice congrats!

[proper maple]

getting off the waitlist is pretty likely, so as long as you showed genuine interest in your loci then idt it needs to be done

[fervent smelt]

bc i sent my first loci when i got deferred from ea

[proper maple]

oh then u should probably send another

is purdue ur top choice?

[fervent smelt]

yea it would be

[proper maple]

ok then highly recommend u do

[unique owl]

Do yall know when you find out when you get accepted into a learning community (I applied for WiE and this AI one)

[patent cloak]

whats the correlation here

[burnt trellis]

Can’t wait to move overseas back home

Enjoy your nice life in America 😂🫵

And enjoy your draft

[trail escarp]

dont we already have to?

selective service is mandatory iirc but its just never used

[safe spindle]

correct because theyve been getting enough actual volunteers enlisting to not need to draft

now thats not to say that trend couldnt change but that is what it has been as of late

[trail escarp]

oh so the only change that happened is that its automatic instead of us having to do it ourselves

thats a good thing cuz a lot of my friends forgot or were late which is annoying and could be bad in the future for no reason

[burnt trellis]

Yeah I don’t think they will

[inner smelt]

rd results 23/4->25/26->24/25

more waitlists this year than last year?

which is kinda weird considering wl ar last year was ~97%

23/24 had a lot more acceptances in rd

but maybe this is just due to the university becoming more competitive idk

[crisp pulsar]

False statistic,it includes the other campuses

[fervent yacht]

yo how bad do your grades have to be to get scholarship / admission rescinded

I might end with 4 Bs and 2 As this semester 😭

[hoary quartz]

youll be fine

[trail escarp]

not sure about scholarships, but admission will onyl be rescinded if u literally dont graduate or do something illegal or stupid

[wispy dove]

Hi, when do waitlisted results come?

[crisp pulsar]

When spots open up

Usually the waitlist will start moving in early may after ppl enroll, then IIRC it goes up to june 30th

[stark jasper]

How is CS at Purdue? It seems to be ranked pretty highly, and I have seen a lot of information about it online. However, I would like to also gain some input from others and potentially from actual Purdue Students. So, any input is greatly appreciated!

[hoary quartz]

its real awesome

dont worry yourself about ranking

just trust me that its super up there

[stark jasper]

I was just wondering how prestigious it was because I have a senior friend who is going to Purdue CS in the fall

And i was thinking of applying there

[hoary quartz]

our program is old

ive met alumni from the tech companies

[stark jasper]

Yeah, I heard it was the first cs department

in the U.S

[hoary quartz]

theres alot of diversity in the jobs

the research is widespread

theres folks who love it

@worthy trout

[stark jasper]

is there a reason why the overall ranking is #46 but for engineering and cs its much higher? I know you said not to be concerned with rankings, but I am curious

Because I am seeing that with some of the other top cs schools as well

[hoary quartz]

overall rankings kinda dont matter

they dont tell you anything about the school

its like someone giving you an overall ranking of the category of fruits

doesnt tell you much

rankings are just marketing and the sort

[stark jasper]

Ah okay

A lot of people from my school are pretty much only seeking T20s and stuff like that, but the major rankings for those T20s are like different

[hoary quartz]

do a deep dive

of the website

and cs stuff

learn about the major

and what its offering

check out the purdue discord server

and ask these questions

[stark jasper]

Okay, thank you!

[hoary quartz]

there will be more response

from those nerds

[tender hazel]

I'm going to purdue for electircal or computer engineering and looking to join either the DATA MINE LLC or EPICS. From what I've gathered, data mine guarantees you good dorms and EPICS' main attraction is the fact that it cuts out ENGR 131/132 to only one course and gives you good outreach experience. What are your guys' thoughts on both these LLC's? Any info I am missing or do you guys have any specific recommendations?

[worthy trout]

it’s really good. what do you wanna compare it to?

[stark jasper]

Honestly, I am really just trying to see how valued Purdue CS is in the job market and stuff

Like how was getting interships as a cs student from Purdue

From what I have seen online, Purdue CS is definitely a good and well-respected name in the industry

Would just be nice to get some input from actual Purdue CS students

[wispy plover]

i have friends interning like...in pretty much all of the big companies

FAANG, a swathe of AI companies, and some defense 🥴

so yeah it's a strong program with a very good industry reputation

the biggest thing is that recruiters know the name

[quasi oasis]

what do you want out of a cs degree?

[junior sun]

what r they teaching us at boilermaker bound gng 😭✌️

[junior sun]

lmao what is this pic of pete

[fair sandal]

Let him cook

[glacial elm]

wait this is so cute

[safe spindle]

aww wait are you on campus?

[hoary quartz]

Oh you're on campus

Thats cool

[junior sun]

nope unfortunately it's js boilermaker bound (the admitted student event for intl students) :<

the intl AOs go around to different countries i think

[glacial elm]

that’s a nice room tho icel

[tame slate]

Woah

Do they release the calendar that shows all the countries theyre gonna visit?

That is if they acc came to your country

[worthy trout]

idts, you'll get a mail if there's an event near you though

wait i lied

you have to register for one, it's somewhere on the admissions portal

[worthy trout]

what city is this

i went to the delhi one 3 years ago

it's been so long 🥀

[ivory pelican]

how is purdue #4 in cybersecurity yet their housing portal refuses to clear your sign in data after signing you out....
and the commitment process was a nightmare

[hoary quartz]

dont even question it

[tired zinc]

I’m pretty sure most college websites suck ass

[hoary quartz]

suck ass is not even

the best way to describe it

theyre downright horrendous

[tired zinc]

And holy yes the commitment process was so buns bro

[hoary quartz]

some of these websites havent been updated in like 30 years

[tired zinc]

fr bro 😭

[ivory pelican]

like when I want to add a phone number to my account wtf are half these carriers

[hoary quartz]

another thing

[ivory pelican]

nextel, sprint, us cellular all are t mobile 😭 now

[hoary quartz]

every time you pay

that thing will pop up

so every time you pay for each semester

that shit will pop up

https://tenor.com/view/flight-gif-15944648704967844559

[ivory pelican]

to ask for my contact info?

[hoary quartz]

yes

[ivory pelican]

[hoary quartz]

it will not remember

you will have to refil it

every time

[ivory pelican]

seems very college-y

[junior sun]

i was going to ask if you're uncle bits because you sound like him 😭 turns out you ARE uncle bits

[hoary quartz]

yea i am

[wispy dove]

hi, i sent an LOCI to purdue but did not recieve any response, is that normal?

[quasi oasis]

committed!

[safe spindle]

welcome to purdue!

[glacial elm]

damn

[fervent smelt]

no way purdues waitlist acceptance rate was ~97%

[fair sandal]

Includes Indianapolis

[fervent smelt]

makes sense

maybe west lafayette is around ~30%

[wispy dove]

Any care to reply?

[safe spindle]

special circumstances, would not expect it to be that high this year also like someone said that includes indianapolis

[merry fog]

for cs which would be better purdue or uw-madison?

and how hard is it to complete all of the required credits within 3 years in purdue

[crisp pulsar]

All the other years it was like 10 or less

[trim herald]

Purdue CS is better

[trail escarp]

purdue! :D

[unique owl]

Hey guys how tf does roommate process work again

Lowk submitted my housing in the beginning of April

And idk when I’m gonna hear back for the LCs

Hopefully I get into WiE, I also applied to this engineering in the world of ai one (apparently it’s new?) so idk

[ivory pelican]

On 5/22 you get access to some portal that allows you to create "friend groups" to choose your roommates.
At least that's what it said when I submitted my housing application like 20 minutes ago

[quasi oasis]

i need to lock in on lc app its due today 🙏

does anyone know if they are hard to get in like do i have to be thoughtful on answers a lot

[tame slate]

Oh right the priority housing deadline is today

[tame slate]

Do we have to pay a deposit for housing now? Or is it only after 05 may

[unique owl]

That’s what I recall reading

[unique owl]

If you paid the admissions deposit I think that’s it

[trim herald]

Nah some might be more “competitive” than others but they’re not hard to get into at all

[junior sun]

out of curiosity, is there a lot of wildlife at purdue? like geese and squirrels n all

[trim herald]

Too many squirrels

[junior sun]

is there a purdue fat squirrels acc 🥺 smth like these
https://www.instagram.com/uiuc.fat.squirrels/
https://www.instagram.com/uiucgeese/

[crisp pulsar]

Is this how you're deciding between purdue and uiuc??

[junior sun]

nah uiuc sucks!! (/j)
|| (my bf goes there 😔) || im js asking if theres cute wildlife at purdue i should know abt lol 😭

[safe spindle]

idk about that but the squirrels are everywhere and quite friendly/not super afraid of people

we have a few black squirrels running around too

[junior sun]

im reading about the cs240 situation holy crap

wishing the best for all those affected 🫡

[hoary quartz]

Nah they're cooked

[trail escarp]

lolll its insane everyone is talking abt it

[hoary quartz]

Yeah they're completely doomed

This is why you don't do computer science and use ai on all your homeworks

[safe spindle]

no yeah

its like idk i feel bad and albeit idk the situation with the classes but if the consequences for using AI are clearly outlined and you chose to do it anyways.. thats kind of on you?

idk

[tired zinc]

😭

[glacial elm]

wait what happened

[junior sun]

i mean i get this to an extent, but also isn't ai detection still super wacky these days? like i'm concerned for ppl who were marked as false positives 😭

[safe spindle]

i guess thats possible but idk

[junior sun]

and also idk i feel like it's kinda mean to be sending it all out in one day (that's what i've gathered from reading the subreddit :/) like holding it in and dropping a massive bomb on the last day 😭

[safe spindle]

i heard ~2/3 of the class got the email and are dropping

yes thats heinous

the deadline to drop was today i think

[trim herald]

and doesn't your advisor have to approve it to

so aren't you just cooked then

is today the last day to submit a request or the last day period

[glacial elm]

what the hell…

[junior sun]

(first screenshot wasnt me voting btw; i screenshotted it from somneone's screenshot)

[glacial elm]

dude i am so sorry for everyone there…

[hoary quartz]

I think the main thing that some people are worried about is just the fact that if you're accused but you didn't do anything proving yourself might be a hard thing.Because the professor is very suspicious of you

[safe spindle]

maybe last for request? but yeah i think your advisor has to approve it now

[trim herald]

lmao there was also something with the cyber LC with paul thomas but not to this extent and not about plagarism

[hoary quartz]

And I think in some of these situations, proving yourself to odos, is a hard thing to do

[junior sun]

yeah like what happened to innocent until proven guilty 😭✌️

[glacial elm]

oh wait this is cs 240 omg

[hoary quartz]

Because the professor is very suspicious of you, they have an incentive to maybe not trust what you say.

Now yes, it's not a good idea to utilize artificial intelligence to cheat on your homeworks to try and get a better grade

I think there are a lot of individuals who should get reasonably punished for this.And maybe expelled

[safe spindle]

i thought the committee for apealing had neutral 3rd parties so that this wasnt an issue

[hoary quartz]

Well maybe i heard wrong

[hoary quartz]

I think this might be a good thing in the long run

It'll give the computer science students a well needed scare to stop them from utilizing artificial intelligence in their work

There will be individuals who will get punishment for academic dishonesty

[trim herald]

And then there was this thing with the cyber LC

which was quite funny tbf

Hello Learning Community Students,

I am writing in response to a post that was recently brought to my attention on RateMyProfessor containing allegations regarding the use of Learning Community funds. While I generally do not engage with anonymous public commentary about my courses, statements alleging financial misconduct and embezzlement are serious and warrant a clear and factual response. Especially when there are indicators as to the where the allegations are coming from.

Personally, I think an email asking “what are the plans for events for this semester?” could have been more productive. However, that requires a degree of intelligence and maturity that the poster seemingly hasn’t developed yet.

I also note that the post includes a claim that my actions have caused a third party to experience night terrors. I want to be absolutely clear that I have no knowledge of, involvement in, or influence over the mental health or medical conditions of any individual outside of my professional roles. Mental health concerns are serious matters and should be addressed through appropriate medical, counseling, or university support services. Anonymous public accusations are seldom helpful. Any student experiencing distress, or who is genuinely concerned about a roommate’s well‑being, is strongly encouraged to contact Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).

With that out of the way, I want to state definitively that all funds allocated to the Cybersecurity Learning Community have been used exclusively for Learning Community–related activities and expenses. This includes items such as event space reservations (for example, the bowling alley), food and beverages for attendees (including pizza, cookies, and soft drinks), and other costs directly associated with hosting events. No funds were used for personal purposes.

If you have questions or concerns about events, funding, or planning, I strongly encourage raising them directly with me. Direct communication allows concerns to be addressed accurately and constructively, which benefits everyone involved.

To provide context regarding event planning and resource use, there are currently 44 students enrolled in the Learning Community, yet overall engagement has been consistently limited. Attendance across events has varied significantly, with a maximum of approximately 20 students at any single event and several events drawing only single‑digit participation. Even this semester, events involving a former FBI director (including both a tabletop exercise and a dinner discussion) had attendance of approximately 8 students. These numbers reflect a persistent pattern of low participation rather than a lack of opportunities or programming.

The upcoming workshops led by alums working at Google and Eli-Lilly currently has a grand total of 3 people from this learning community signed up for it. These opportunities remain open (), and I encourage students who are interested to participate.

I want to reiterate that my focus remains on organizing and supporting meaningful opportunities for students who wish to engage with the Learning Community. I am available to discuss events, ideas, or concerns with any student in a respectful and constructive manner.

I wish you a great end of semester.

Regards,
Prof. Thomas

[junior sun]

ts js sounds so scary watching from the outside 😭 like there most probably false positives being affected which i feel like makes the whole thing wrong in the first place

[hoary quartz]

And in all, there will be a lot of folks who might think twice before utilizing artificial intelligence

[glacial elm]

bro yeah exactly

his way of detecting llms

like

bro

we dont know if its accurate

wtf

is he on

[hoary quartz]

When I come back to college in the spring, i'm gonna make sure that I don't utilize artificial intelligence at all

I'm gonna finish my degree without using ai

[trim herald]

Are you doing a co-op rn?

[junior sun]

apparently uiuc does something similar but in a more reasonable way

[glacial elm]

so like

i feel

absolutely

terrible for cs kids

[junior sun]

gonna be devil's advocate for a bit here, but since mot ppl use ai, idk wont ppl feel pressured/behind somehow anw?

it's similar to how i felt when i learned a lot of seniors around me were using college consulting services. and i was scared id be "behind" compared to everyone else by not having a consultant

[glacial elm]

u lowk might have to decline purdue bro this is crazy

[junior sun]

yeah bro like im in the process of talking to my parents and about to commit and im seeing this like wtf

ik it's only one professor but

[glacial elm]

i mean shi

wait is turkstra like

the main prof

[hoary quartz]

I'll be starting in the summer

[glacial elm]

idk

😭

[hoary quartz]

It's summer to fall

[trim herald]

ah okay cool

[tired zinc]

Yeah for cs 240 apparently

[hoary quartz]

Don't feel terrible, it's computer science

[junior sun]

AYEEE UNCLE BITS FINALLY HAS A JOB!!!

LESSGOO IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU

[glacial elm]

😂

[hoary quartz]

Yeah, but I will be out for the entirety of the fall.Semester

Thank you though

[glacial elm]

congrats man

big things ahead

[hoary quartz]

I think the argument that a lot of these professors put is that you can choose to cheat.If a lot of people cheat, but that's on you for choosing to cheat

It's an unfortunate thing

But I think the computer science students need to learn

Now let's not bring this to the other majors, but you know

[glacial elm]

yeah nah i feel like claude is just the godsend thing for cs majors

idk

[tired zinc]

💀

[hoary quartz]

I love this school bro

Let's put a flammable and explosive metal out in the open

[junior sun]

is this the surplus store 😭

[hoary quartz]

This is bechtel

Bidc

It just have this laying around

[junior sun]

the meme literally describes how i'm feeling vro 💔

im scared like

guys

im scared

can someone pick me up 😭

[tired zinc]

Honestly just take it easy lowkey

[glacial elm]

maybe purdue was just never for me bro

it cud be for you

it depends on the person rlly

[tired zinc]

Meh I mean like

It doesn’t really scare me for some reason idk

I sound like a nerd but

I guess I’ll see how it goes lol

I’ll get through it either way

[glacial elm]

prayin for u

[hoary quartz]

This school is really awesome, like there's a lot of really random things going on

Fye will be fun

[tired zinc]

lol i mean like this stuff happens at other colleges no?

especially for comp sci?

[junior sun]

like wtf, this is exactly the type of ppl im trying to avoid by picking purdue over my other schools https://www.reddit.com/r/Purdue/comments/1snm4yw/if_your_in_cs_then_smile/

[glacial elm]

your vs you're

😭

[junior sun]

and ppl being like "if you used ai then you don't deserve to be in a t15 cs school" like wtf happened to sympathy vro 😭

[glacial elm]

thank god i switched bro

im outta this cs shi

😭

[junior sun]

my biggest reason for wanting to choose purdue is bc i thought everyone there was friendlier and more collaborative. that id thrive in an environment where ppl support each other, instead of one where ppl r cutthroat and treat peers like competition

[glacial elm]

yeah idk i feel like

idk

still feel like its rlly friendly

but like

with this turk thing

ur legitimtely punishing innocent people

[junior sun]

yeah fr and im a strong believer in "innocent until proven guilty"

so maybe that's why i feel so strongly abt this

[glacial elm]

little does "turk" know that his llm detector is. very false

false positives are 100% likely

and its alr happening

[fringe remnant]

Purdue cs be cooked

[glacial elm]

shi thank GOD i aint commit here

[junior sun]

yeah exactly!! idc what the prof did or who cheated bruh. if it's a mass purge at the cost of innocent people being pressured into confessing wrongs they didn't do, then that absolutely crosses the line for me.

like id rather protect the innocent than convict the guilty

[glacial elm]

bro yeah exactly like imagine the people who legitimately didnt use AI and are now stressing the fuck over this

[fringe remnant]

In this job market cs is just cooked

[junior sun]

and im pretty sure that's also how the justice system works

[glacial elm]

o yea fs

did my research

55k aint worth it oos for undergrad for CS icl

[fringe remnant]

But Purdue cs genuinely is a very weed out of a program

[glacial elm]

i genuinely think i wuda been weeded out

[junior sun]

fr and they probably feel so, so trapped. like they gotta play russian roulette and guess which of their assignments were ai-detected

and he prolly wont believe their reasons too

[glacial elm]

yeah exactly like this is actually so unfair

[fringe remnant]

Aero sophomore year is more of a weed out than freshman year honestly

[junior sun]

oh no

[glacial elm]

is purdue cs freshman a weedout or like

i heard it is

i know calc 2 is HELL on earth

[junior sun]

would u say aero at purdue is more chill than whatever the fuck's happening over at cs 😭 ? @fringe remnant

i js want somewhere where ppl are friendly bruh

[fringe remnant]

At the moment yes

But aero department has its own issues

Like one of my classes, they aren’t releasing grades for exam 2 till a week after the drop deadline

And the aero department tends to make things harder than they should be

[junior sun]

damn this sounds a bit scummy

[fringe remnant]

Purdue engineering be like that

It’s essentially a test of survival

[glacial elm]

eng/cs everywhere be like that

[fringe remnant]

Yeah but Purdue definitely has it to a larger extent

[junior sun]

i js got into gt honors today and reading abt all this purdue stuff asw js has me overwhelemed

like idek what to think or pick anymore

[glacial elm]

lowkey

ur doing

aero right

[junior sun]

yeah

[glacial elm]

go GTECH

they have grade inflation

simple

[junior sun]

apparently a cat dies every time u call them "gtech" or "git"

🥀

[glacial elm]

alr

bet

f*ck them cats

[junior sun]

ppl there complain too afaik 😭

but it's expected

engineering is hard everywhere

like

while applying im like

i'm doing engineering!

now i'm like

i'm doing engineering

[fringe remnant]

Real

[tired zinc]

😅

[fringe remnant]

I agree

[glacial elm]

yeah it be like that bro

honestly

gtech

is the strat

[fringe remnant]

Unless you want to do propulsion

[glacial elm]

i heard gtech also making a new aero building too

[junior sun]

tbh idrk what i wanan do yet. i js find planes and rockets cool 😭

[fringe remnant]

If you want to specialize or be involved in propulsion industry, Purdue is the place to be

[junior sun]

but my dream job growing up was to work for nasa jpl

[glacial elm]

gt my friend got into purdue and gt aero and ultimately chose gtech

[fringe remnant]

We have the largest propulsion test facility in the world

[glacial elm]

gtech

gtech

trust me on this

[junior sun]

ZUCROW MY BELOVED!!

[fringe remnant]

Real

[junior sun]

so would u recommend gt still, then?

if im not so sure what i wanna specialize in yet

bc im prt sure it's impossible to transfer to purdue aero

arent yall the top of the food chain there

[fringe remnant]

But theirs won’t be named after Neil Armstrong

And ours isn’t that old either

[glacial elm]

okf air point

[fringe remnant]

It’s 19

[junior sun]

wheras im prt sure gt aero gets overshadowed by their ece or sum 😔

[glacial elm]

isnt gt aero like t4

t5*

[junior sun]

yeah exactly! like i love how everything at purdue is neil armstrong themed

[fringe remnant]

Yeah

[junior sun]

"one small step" "one giant leap" SO CUTEEE

[junior sun]

gt is #2, purdue is #3

[glacial elm]

oh nah they second

[fringe remnant]

It really depends on what you want

Like you can’t go wrong with either

[glacial elm]

okay but sting em lowkey cute too

[fringe remnant]

But Purdue with its grade deflation is kinda cooked

If you are locked in u will be fine

[junior sun]

but they dont have a cute train that goes around campus waking students up

[glacial elm]

i fucking hate wasps

[fringe remnant]

If not, might be cooked

Also the winters kinda suck here

[junior sun]

im js scared ppl r unfriendly and not as nice as ppl at purdue would be

[fringe remnant]

So if you hate the cold, then go to gtech

If you want to be in a major city, go to gtech

[glacial elm]

they dont have a wasp as a mascot + atlanta is like 10^23 times better than west lafayette

[fringe remnant]

If you want a passionate sports fan base, come to Purdue

[junior sun]

idk man i like the train like a bajillion times better

[junior sun]

yess this too

if i go to gt i fosho will get fomo every march

[glacial elm]

georgia tech football thooo

and baseball

[fringe remnant]

If you want cheaper tuition come here

[junior sun]

purdue football is so bad it's funny

[glacial elm]

i think its the same atp

[junior sun]

it's the same at both for me

[glacial elm]

LMAO yeah

[junior sun]

i'm intl 😔

[fringe remnant]

I honestly could care less about Purdue football at this rate

[junior sun]

idk why im going to aero bruh im highk cooking myself

[fringe remnant]

I’ll let iu be good at football and us be good at basketball

[glacial elm]

except purdue has ZERO natties

😂

[fringe remnant]

You could always do me and then take an aero job

[junior sun]

next year is our year

[glacial elm]

https://tenor.com/view/son-im-crine-son-im-crine-gif-5176045023480767429

everyone good leaving

[junior sun]

we signed a guy from princeton or sum, no? 😭

[glacial elm]

PRINCETON

[fringe remnant]

Yup

[glacial elm]

they didnt have win the ivy

[fringe remnant]

Caden pierce

[glacial elm]

champ

[junior sun]

yeah so purdue has fye and i can explore everything. but at gt i dont expect it to be too hard to switch to meche if i feel like it

[glacial elm]

wait nvm his stats r good

[fringe remnant]

International plus aero is a bit cooked

My advice for international is do meche and then be involved in aero clubs

[glacial elm]

honestly it comes to

1. location
2. what you wanna REALLY do, do u want flexibility or be locked w a major
3. sports
4. social life (gt>purdue imho)

thats pm it

[fringe remnant]

If you are undecided, Purdue is definitely the place to be

[glacial elm]

yeah

[junior sun]

wait i rlly gotta actually buy a big whiteboard and do a pros/cons chart w ts

[glacial elm]

gotta

[fringe remnant]

I don’t know how the me program is at gtech but Purdue aero and me are pretty difference

[junior sun]

i feel like everything has a tradeoff and both schools have their strengths and weaknesses

[fringe remnant]

There are similar classes but they are run by the respective department

[junior sun]

and also i heard atlanta's a nicer location to get co-ops n all

[glacial elm]

atlanta is amazing period

[fringe remnant]

Like both majors will take a cad class, fluids, statics, dynamics, etc

[glacial elm]

everything you need atl got it

[junior sun]

altho i heard it pretty dangerous there

[glacial elm]

nah

[fringe remnant]

But the order and way in which it is done differs

[glacial elm]

only south atlanta

gtech is smack dab in the middle atlanta so ur good

[fringe remnant]

And so going from one to the other is pretty much a near restart

[glacial elm]

oh wait u cud also see that pencil building at a fb game

and baseball game

and man i watched fsu vs gt baseball bro the gt view is amazing

[fringe remnant]

I forgot fsu was an acc school

[glacial elm]

go noles baby

[junior sun]

@fringe remnant having experienced a bit of purdue aero tho, would u say u wouldve preferred gt?

[junior sun]

yoo i looked at photos and yalls campus looks so pretty

[glacial elm]

yessir

[junior sun]

imho i think purdue looks prettier than gt too

[glacial elm]

cant wait for fsu

[junior sun]

the engineering fountain is to DIE for

[glacial elm]

mmm

yeha i see that lowkey

but then again that freakign skyline

cant beat that

[fringe remnant]

Yes and no

If we are going solely on grading and weather, probably

[junior sun]

idk i grew up in a very dense city all my life. so i feel like being in the middle of nowhere is peaceful in a way

or maybe it's bc i associated skyline with pollution

[fringe remnant]

It’s peaceful at first and neat

[junior sun]

bc my country has a massive pollution problem

[fringe remnant]

And then eventually reality strikes you

[junior sun]

whichever school i pick ik fosho i would be wondering about what couldve been

[junior sun]

😭 yall keep getting snowstorms bruh i feel bad

like every other week

im doomscrolling

and theres a reel abt how the midwest is having another snowstorm

[tired zinc]

lowkey you sound so indecisive now with the recent stuff about the whole cs 240 thing 😂

[junior sun]

weren't ur trees exploding at some point

[fringe remnant]

That was Minnesota

[junior sun]

yeah; and i've always been an indecisive person tbf 😭

js tryna learn more from everyoen ii can ig

[fringe remnant]

The northeast had it worse this year honestly

In terms of the storms

[hoary quartz]

These type of people love to relish in the sufferings of others. Ignore them.They suffer from too many problems

[hoary quartz]

It's a lot more true for the engineers

[hoary quartz]

Essentially, what he's doing is fear mongering people into confessing

[hoary quartz]

Dynamics hasn't released its exam until whenever it releases exams

[junior sun]

? as in engineers at purdue are friendlier, or..?

[hoary quartz]

Yeah

Maybe like a couple.Electrical engineers might not be nice, but yeah, I think the rest of them are pretty great

[tired zinc]

so is comp sci like less like that lmao

[hoary quartz]

I think it's just a natural nature of computer science

They just love to be cutthroat

I don't think the professor's help

[tired zinc]

😭

[junior sun]

would u say this is an engineers thing in general, or a purdue-specific thing?

[hoary quartz]

I think this is just how engineers are

I'm around mechanical engineers a lot, but I think people in general.Here are nice

One of the things i'm gonna miss by being on koop, is railside

In the mechanical engineering building

[hoary quartz]

This is the website of the professor that's causing those the problem.For those students

[crisp pulsar]

For a CS teacher you'd think he'd make a website a bit more... visually appealing

[tame slate]

I do think the situation is a lil funny
And if you see the posts abt it then most of the students HAVE admitted to using AI

But yeah a mass email scaring all the students is a bit overkill

[tame slate]

HELP what is that first picture 😭 😭 😭

[junior sun]

yeah and we all expected uiuc's portal (t5 cs school mind you) to work during decision day too didnt we 😭

tbf i shouldnt flame uiuc so much

their portal UI was rlly nice. i rlly liked it

i have complaints about singapore tho (especially NTU vro wtf 🤬 )

[unique owl]

Guys what is going on with cs240

This is nuts

[tame slate]

Their application page is so ahh 😭

[hoary quartz]

Artificial intelligence and college do not mash. Because you're gonna interact with a Prof. that absolutely does not care. And will try to do something

[patent cloak]

https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2231495

RIP

this dude curves down wtf 😭

[crisp pulsar]

Yeah I did, and they fucking rejected me anyway

[fair sandal]

Madison is good

Sadly they are 17k more expensive than Purdue if we ignore work study and loans so I’m prob going with Purdue

[fair sandal]

Can relate lol, still at least it doesn’t crash

Partially cuz they mainly do rolling admissions

[tame slate]

😭 😭 😭

[trail escarp]

sooo many reviews are from the last 24 hours

[unique owl]

I saw this guys website

What a character

[fringe remnant]

I would say everyone here is pretty nice but ece is definitely the most cooked engineering major

[fringe remnant]

Everyone is prolly upset rn

and confused at what exactly is going on

[junior sun]

hey guys, does anyone know who the purdue fye academic advisor for intl students is?

it doesnt specify on the website 😭

i was gonna cold email and ask if i could ask a few questiosn or smth :/

@junior relic u went thru fye as an intl student, right? who was ur advisor? if u dont mind me asking ;-;

[junior relic]

Mandy Simms

There’s no specific one

[junior sun]

ah okie tqsm!!

[junior relic]

For intl

Just shoot me a question they’re all incompetent

[dull prawn]

are there good options for a vegetarian at purdue? and what meal plan would you guys recommend

[trim herald]

Yeah they usually have good options for veg, and if you like to eat 3 meals a day 14 or unlimited but if you don’t need a ton 10 is fine

[hoary quartz]

glad im not a cs major

[unique owl]

Oh nah

[charred cipher]

my friends who are going to purdue r terrified rn

according to the purdue redditors lots of them didnt even use ai yet 60% of the class is getting failed on the last day to drop a course

[hoary quartz]

theyll be fine

dont let them worry

tusktra just had a divorce 5 years ago

and he went off the deep end

other profs are good

tho

[tired zinc]

wait that’s actually sad tbh

[hoary quartz]

it be like that

he used to be nicer

[unique owl]

Well Monday is gonna be interesting

[hoary quartz]

before the divorce

from what i hear

[trail escarp]

60% of the class failing is insane to do

[hoary quartz]

sounds like 2k1 a couple sems back when 40 percent of the class failed

[fair sandal]

Reminds me of that 1 math mock test for my school

But to count in gpa is 💀

Well I guess they could retake the class and save their gpa … right?

[trail escarp]

Yeahh but they might have to delay graduation a sem or mess up with their four year plan

[fair sandal]

Is there a cap to the amount of credits you can take per acad yr

[safe spindle]

you need permission to exceed 18/sem and i think the most ive heard of anyone taking was 23… shes miserable dont be like her

[fair sandal]

23 is crazy

Especially if you have to juggle clubs and learning community stuff

[fringe remnant]

It also costs more to take over 18 credit hours

[charred cipher]

hey purdue is on the news https://www.jconline.com/story/news/local/purdue/2026/04/20/cheating-scandal-in-purdue-class-sparks-debate-over-ais-place-in-college/89703861007/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&gca-uir=true&gca-epti=z117939p002650c002650e003000v117939d--79--b--79--&gca-ft=185&gca-ds=sophi

[trail escarp]

journal and courier is local news i believe

pleaaaase don’t end up on national news

[charred cipher]

you being an ai major makes this so much more ironic

im wondering what most students think about this?

ive been stalking purdue reddit out of curiousity and lots seem worried that a purdue cs degree isnt worth as much bc places might be worried abt them cheating

[junior sun]

yeah i've seen various ppl comment on reddit that theyre not hiring from purdue again n stuff

idk if this is genuine but man why ppl gotta be mean like this :<

[swift niche]

Professional GT simp?

[tame slate]

...what

dont do that to me 😭

[tame slate]

that's a weird concern tho innit

purdue is the only college that's pushing back on the AI/cheating
doesn't mean other college's students aren't using AI 😭

[tired zinc]

I think people are overthinking about this and making it way more than it actually is

Situations like these have happened at top colleges as well. It’s not like this is some super unique scenario

[fringe remnant]

they would never diss on the first cs program in america

also purdue is genuinely a test of survival for most majors and employers see that

[reef radish]

It doesn't cost more.

[fringe remnant]

It doesn’t?

I thought it did

[wispy dove]

Hi, anyone got any updates from purdue waitlist(

Also what are my chances of getting off waitlisted for cs major? I am an intl

[trail escarp]

[trail escarp]

most students are upset at turkstra rather than realizing there is an ai cheating issue

[trail escarp]

yepp im assuming nothing will happen, because uiuc had an issue as well that actually ended up on the new york times and everything, but nothing ever happens

https://giphy.com/gifs/soyjack-nothing-ever-happens-flatearthparaguay-YLn30deFai3xvKmgBK

but its still a huge issue and i do like the return to handwritten in person tests because thats the only thing that can prevent cheating, BUT ALSO the cs dept should adapt to ai and instead of giving shittily difficult assignments to "combat ai" (which is what theyre doing and its incredibly stupid), they should adapt more to ai

like having people learn how to use ai is a better way to go since ai is not gonna just go away or anything
like my DSA class is handling it rly rly well. were doing handwritten exams as the majority of points, a lot of conceptual stuff for homework rather than braindead coding assignments, and for projects he actually has a section for vibecoding where were allowed to use ai, and then other sections where u cant, so its like a good balance

[trail escarp]

exactly

[fair sandal]

Idk they might offer u Indianapolis instead of wl if my interpretation of last app cycle wl acceptance rate is correct

[reef radish]

Nope, it doesn't. I've taken multiple 18+ credit hour semesters.

[wispy dove]

I didnt even apply for idny campus tho

When do they give a waitlist update?

[glacial elm]

yea they give it anyways

[junior sun]

wha 😭 im scared

[fair sandal]

Is it doable

For engineering

[hoary quartz]

i mean

why tho

summer classes

and transferring credits

is generally good enough

you dont wanna do more than 18 credit hours for engineering

you got other shit to do besides classes

if you wanna get a job or go grad school

you cannot just do classes

[fair sandal]

It says I may be able to have credit transfer for these(I technically qualify for these credits), so what happens to the credit transfer for economics cuz idk if fye requires that

[trail escarp]

undistributed credit sucks and is useless unfortunately

[fair sandal]

So no credit transfer for econs right

[trail escarp]

i dont believe so

[dull prawn]

anybody have recommendations for an engineering learning community? i'm thinking of applying to VIP because the research sounds cool.

[hoary quartz]

vip is cool

pick a team wisely

[dull prawn]

there's soo many options 😭

[hoary quartz]

https://engineering.purdue.edu/VIP/teams?tags=Fall+2026&tags=Faculty-led+Research&tags=First-Year+Learning+Community

this first link is for faculty led research vip teams

for first years

for the fall

https://engineering.purdue.edu/VIP/teams?tags=Fall+2026&tags=Student+Competition+Team&tags=First-Year+Learning+Community

this second link is for student competition teams for first years for the fall

https://engineering.purdue.edu/VIP/teams?tags=Fall+2026&tags=Faculty-led+Research&tags=Student+Competition+Team&tags=First-Year+Learning+Community

this third link is for the overlap of student competition team and faculty lead research

[worthy trout]

it does not

[worthy trout]

summer classes cost hella

taking extra credits over the semester is free

[worthy trout]

yeah but engineering doesn't allow it

the max for ME majors is 19 a sem

[hoary quartz]

its 118

18*

they wont let us take 19

[worthy trout]

19 with an override

but can't go over that no matter what

[hoary quartz]

you can

if you are rotc

[merry fog]

are there more professors like this cs240 dude

or not

because 60% of class getting failed is just insane

[fringe remnant]

Ronald Agyei is the Turkstra of the aero department

but to a lesser extent

[fair sandal]

My hs math mock test was like that

Luckily it was a mock or everyone is cooked

[wispy dove]

Did anyone get wailist update?

[true oriole]

i got purdue

[true oriole]

yeah rn

anyone else got?

[fervent smelt]

I got in lets gooo

[true oriole]

what major

[fervent smelt]

fye

wbu

[true oriole]

robotics

[fervent smelt]

nicee

[true oriole]

aye congrats

[true oriole]

im so confused now

computer engineering at UW madison or robotics engineering

😭

[fervent smelt]

i lowkey didnt expect purdue wl to drop today and i deposited at another college last night 😭

but its okay imma be a boilermaker

[true oriole]

even i deposited as well

[fervent smelt]

gonna have to spend another $500 to deposit buts its worth it

[patent cloak]

bro tf i got off the waitlist

😹

[near horizon]

lowk do compe at uw madison

actually not sure

idk how hard transfer into engineering is

[idle socket]

ea deferred -> rd waitlisted -> accepted fye

[fervent smelt]

is there a deadline for when we gotta accept the offer?

[patent cloak]

same twin

[forest scaffold]

same but cs

[glass kestrel]

made it into purdue FYE

1 day after i paid my deposit to UMD...

[jagged orbit]

rip

[patent cloak]

what is the acceptance rate for fye oos

not including indy

[glacial elm]

oh nah

turk 💔

[patent cloak]

is genuinely no one gonna sign up for his class next sem

[glacial elm]

isn’t it legitimately the first course u have to take

oh well

Different profs

true

[patent cloak]

man all my luck went to the wrong waitlist

🥀

[trim herald]

20% ish

[charred cipher]

ayyyy cgs waitlist warriors

[glacial elm]

is cs roughly the same

[forest scaffold]

whos that....

[fervent smelt]

does anyone know when the finaid offer will be available?

[jagged orbit]

mine was avail the day i got my decision but that was rd so idk

[trim herald]

Probably

[glacial elm]

oh no

search up purdue cs 240 turkstra

[pulsar palm]

bro i got in the day after committing to davis

bruhhhh

[hoary quartz]

If you want to do computer engineering related type things, then you should just go to the one at UW

Robotics, engineering technology is not exactly like engineering.They do a lot less theoretical a lot more applicable

So you're not gonna be doing as much conceptually complex calculations, more, that you're gonna become a really a high level. Technician, but if you want to go into research, then you're gonna become technically complex

[hoary quartz]

This university does not give any need, based financial aid to people who are not from the state of indiana. If you did not get an offer inside of your acceptance letter then you didn't get anything

[fervent smelt]

ah i see 😭

[glass kestrel]

yall boys know if theres a purdue admitted server

[fair sandal]

They do give the Pell grant, and that’s about it

For oos

[hoary quartz]

If you go on the main purdue server, you're gonna find it

[fervent smelt]

is there a deadline for when i have to accept my offer of admissions for waitlisted -> accepted since its not specified

[tired zinc]

May 1st I believe

Because in this case, you have been accepted off the waitlist before the commitment date

[fervent smelt]

I see. Hopefully I receive my financial aid info by then.

[true oriole]

I doubt they’ll let me switch to engineering. So compE at UW mad is better than robotics at polytechnic overall?

[true oriole]

I mean I do prefer hands on over research. But Purdue polytechnic isn’t that reputed right ? I’m so confused

[true oriole]

Where to we find purude COA?

[hoary quartz]

it is

the robotics people do get jobs

[true oriole]

I’m legit in between boards and now can’t stop thinking abt Purdue or uwisc 😭 gonna fail finals.

[near horizon]

probably comperable

[fringe remnant]

purdue polytech is a very unique department

has a wide variety of majors

and you can get some good jobs through it

and polytech is definitely more hands on

thats what makes it differ over engineering

[true oriole]

i talked to people in purdue rn, they say that purdue polytech and engineering are completely different

like the opportunities in engineering are different to what polytech offers

[fringe remnant]

that is true

but the polytech people can get engineering opportunities

and same the other way around

[true oriole]

and it'll be better if I choose UW madison comp eng over polytech and purdue

[fringe remnant]

it comes down to how you apply yourself and what ecs you do

it depends on what you want to do more

[true oriole]

yeah but won't uw madison be more supportive since im in their top school compared to what purdue will provide with if im in polytech.

[fringe remnant]

college of engineering is more math heavy and goes deep into conceptual

polytech is more hands on and how to apply stuff

[fringe remnant]

most likely yes

[true oriole]

which major are you doing at purdue rn?

hows it been

[trim herald]

What major did you get into Purdue for?

[true oriole]

robotics engineering

[fervent smelt]

in the myPurdue "new student task list"

[hoary quartz]

Well, they're not fundamentally different in the sense that a lot of the engineering tech related majors still do engineering stuff.It's just not as in depth

[hoary quartz]

Whoa, it's a comparing apple store oranges?The polytechnical institute is going to support you as well.It's just that are you more interested in conceptuals, or are you more interested in hands on opportunities

If you are a hands on person, then going to a polytechnic institute in a university like purdue is a great opportunity.Because again, you're not limited to only staying in the polytechnic part for research.Since there's a lot of overlapping research with computer engineering and electrical engineering.You can still do that

It's just about.Do you want your classes to be more hands on, or do you want your classes to be more conceptual

Everything else is up to you.You can determine your path.And how conceptual or hands on you want your skill set to be?Because classes are just one part of the pie that you do when you're trying to become a better engineer

[fringe remnant]

Aero and its brutal

[merry fog]

i kinda missed the priority housing deadline am i in trouble or is it fine

[hoary quartz]

get it in before may 5th

do it today

[merry fog]

yeahh ill do it by then fosho

[hoary quartz]

im not sure about the may 5th number

check the website

but better to do it now

the process ainte ven that hard

[merry fog]

yeah thats the deadline they gave

[merry fog]

yeah im still kinda torn b/w uw madison and purdue

[hoary quartz]

what major again?

cs?

[merry fog]

comp sci

[hoary quartz]

same price?

or is money not an issue

[merry fog]

for purdue itll be around uh 45 50k and for uw mad its around 60k

[merry fog]

i mean if its worth the money then its not an issue

and im planning on completing undergrad in 3 years

[hoary quartz]

when it comes to price

id say purdue

[merry fog]

if price wasnt a factor then?

[hoary quartz]

which place you do like more

madison

or west lafayette

which place makes you feel nice

and you can really enjoy

which place has more opportunities you want

[merry fog]

i am international so lowk anything would work

[hoary quartz]

its important for the future

to think about these things

if you ever have to choose again

but in this case

id say purdue

[merry fog]

madison has better life but i know some friends in purdue right now and they said that it isnt as bad as it seems

apart from the coursework

[hoary quartz]

we have a very old cs program

ill say that

[merry fog]

yeah

my only concern

is how hard would the curriculum be

[hoary quartz]

ask on the purdue server

all the cs majors lurk

[merry fog]

hmm yeah

but then i found many interesting clubs in purdue so i feel social life is manageable at purdue as well

so it only comes down to the curriculum part

[fair sandal]

Ayyy same lol one of the major reasons I chose Purdue over wisconsin

Only reason I didn’t commit earlier was cuz I thought wisconsin would give me more aid

Apparently not

[hoary quartz]

if thats the case

then purdue might be for you

[hoary quartz]

purdue's is grea

[worthy trout]

not too hard

it's hard fs, but cs here isn't nearly as hard as most engineering majors

[glacial elm]

deadass??

[worthy trout]

yeah lol it's not even close tbh

[glacial elm]

cs easier than eng?

damn

[fringe remnant]

It depends from person to person

But based on what I've seen between Purdue and many other schools is they will make you work

like as you go down the line, they expect you to put in a lot of time into everything

even if you don't nescessarily have it

[solar osprey]

it req u to pay some money gor insurance tho no?

[hoary quartz]

you dont need to pay for housing insurance

[hoary quartz]

depends on the person

but

cause like for me, cs is worse than anything i could possibly imagine

[glacial elm]

😭

[merry fog]

yeahh i feel the same

[merry fog]

hmm i see

[hoary quartz]

i think between ece and cs

ece is harder

[forest scaffold]

how is purdue cs?

[tired zinc]

From the research I had done prior to applying, Purdue CS is pretty renowned and well known within the industry. It’s a top cs school with good connections and often has many grads going to high tech companies. I know someone who works at a high tech company in California and has a decent amount of colleagues from Purdue cs. Overall, it’s a wonderful program that is also more affordable than a lot of other cs schools.

[hoary quartz]

Alright, and you're gonna see a lot of people who do purdue computer science in fields that are not common to computer science

Well, not common to what a high schooler would think folks in computer science would do

[pulsar palm]

purdue aero ik is rlly reputed

but I need to do well in fye

so I might be fried

[charred cipher]

purdue has their own airport too

its amazing

[pulsar palm]

i need to get my license then

i have no time tho

meh whats the point anyway

[tired zinc]

I mean u got the whole summer

might as well learn during that time

[pulsar palm]

my dad wants me to do the summer thing at purdue

and start early

[hoary quartz]

yull be fine. just get a 3.2, tho i will say mechE is pretty solid

and alot of times you can do aero classes as mechE tech electives

club access is equal

research access is really down to your experience

and its easier to get into mechE's 4+1

[neon condor]

I might be going to Purdue, want to connect with someone doing Econ/Accounting

[pulsar palm]

"just get a 3.2"

do you know how stupid i am 😭

whats a 3.2 as a letter grade

oh good lord its a B+

😭

[fair sandal]

Some courses has an average gpa of around 3.7

Most of these courses are part of fye

I mean it’s not gonna be alot of courses but

It’s helps ig

[hoary quartz]

If you don't give yourself the chance to succeed, you'll always fail.And you'll never know what success looks like

I mean ill try but its gonna be painful

for aero

you gotta get a 3.2

in fye

to get into aero

its a set boundary

for mech, you can get between a 3.0 and a 3.2

and depending on your luck

you can get in

i personally had like a 3.02 and got mechanical

I would go Purdue

But my state school like barely 1/5 the price

I mean for engineering prestige matters less than some other majors

Perfectly fine option

[hoary quartz]

it acc matters not that much

if all youre doing is going to work in industry

just apply to alot of places

[fair sandal]

Yea but it might affect ease of getting hired or maybe ur starting salary

[hoary quartz]

nah

see it really matters for the first one

first internship

going to big college will do you more wonders

(ive seen folks from smaller colleges struggle here)

but once you get more than 1

and you just get really qualified

it becomes marginally easier

cause again as a freshly grad

you got the whole bad economy

against you

regardless of how smart you are

[fair sandal]

Yes but some states schools really don’t have that much opportunities

[hoary quartz]

if they are the flagship they will be fine

if they are in a school system

theyll be fine

[fair sandal]

Fs

[hoary quartz]

if theyre a small school in the middle of nowhere

the school itself wont get you nun

thats why people join national orgs

like asme

or nsbe

or WiE

or AIAA
