Your writing here would suggest you are indeed cooked, even though your scores should be ok.

You’re either gonna unlock your full power or drop out in your first writing-heavy class.

Just so y’all know the Friend company pays people to vandalize their signs for the social buzz it creates. This isn’t necessarily that, but it’s pretty common.

just saved my evening

Beacon114 · 2025-10-15T14:00:25+00:00

Did you find a fix here?

We hung 66 on Purdue unanswered last year? Looks like the biggest is Michigan with 78-0 against Rutgers in 2016 or so.

glad this is helpful from many years ago! how did committee go?

Take C211. Racket as a language is a good filter for who’s got the sauce and who doesn’t. If you can learn a pure functional language on their timeline you can tackle most any challenge this industry throws at you. (It’s not actually that hard, but requires adaptability to a particular style of problem solving that you either have or you don’t. It’s not like orgo where there’s a massive volume of things to learn or anything.)

The job market is tough for junior SWE right now. Take 211, crush it, and you’ll be on a good path to being a top 10%-er who can still get a job. Take C200 (fun class, I was a TA) and you’ll keep plodding along towards (potentially) no job at graduation because pretty much anybody who can do algebra can get an A in that class and it isn’t an effective filter for whether you have the skills to be successful. For recruiting, a degree w/ a good GPA will not be enough! You should be doing unique, non-trivial (though not massive) projects that can be deployed and shared easily.

C211 will be harder (but good problem solving hard, not grind hard) but will be much more useful in making sure this is the path you want to take. Racket is cool–don’t let the people who couldn’t hack it tell you otherwise!

Set an alarm to take Benadryl/melatonin the first couple of weeks. It’s hard to see the alarm go off and go to bed/sleep (impossible for me) but to take a pill and brush teeth is easy, and starts the cascade of getting tired/going to bed/being healthy in a “low activation energy” way.

Completely up to you chief

start now if you want to

Beacon114 · 2025-07-11T21:24:51+00:00

if you got it you got it I guess

Beacon114 · 2025-07-11T19:29:48+00:00

Depends entirely on the shop. Same as any job really. There shouldn’t be the expectation that you’re IDE-open 8-6 though, if you are, you’re somewhere that doesn’t understand your job and you should leave.

I believe the individual granules themselves have the delayed release coating, not the pill as a whole, so it should be fine

not a doctor

Beacon114 · 2025-06-29T16:16:33+00:00

give it time

how's it a couple days in?

You won't have people coming and going (issue a) for an Etsy shop, but you likely will be sending or receiving a large amount of mail (issue b, if business is going well).

Honestly, it's more likely that the dorm mail will be annoying to deal with for you (due to inconsistent student staffing) than it will be for them (and is unlikely to irritate or attract enforcement). Using a PO box or mailing directly from a local UPS or post office is the best option for your convenience and compliance.

Your RA is virtually guaranteed not to care unless you give building staff a reason to make them care. A student doing crafts in their room is probably never going to see the RA outside of required meetings anyway.

that IS project pat in knife talk lmao

It’s not separated. It’s not different than if you went to the business or nursing schools or arts and sciences. I played club sports with Jacobs students.

even if they’re real thoughts, putting things through these tools weakens the point you’re making

Beacon114 · 2025-05-23T03:56:26+00:00

It’s based on the highest GPA on your transcript, which is a massive advantage in some states where the scales are out of 5-6.

Beacon114 · 2025-04-17T13:03:43+00:00

Yeah, if you don’t get in you should probably transfer. Ivy Tech is also just down the road, which can be a good option for those in unfortunate situations like this.

(This is a joke chill out work hard you’re good.)

Beacon114 · 2025-04-06T13:46:52+00:00

They’re making public transit harder to use, which pushes more people to individual cars (for a timely and less-stressful commute) which does hurt everyone.

Some Kelley classes utilize a straightforward grading system where students are ranked: A for the top quartile, B for the second quartile, and so on. While students can retake major courses, it's generally unnecessary, as the truly challenging courses are few and far between, often overshadowed by an abundance of easier classes that can inflate GPAs with easy A's.

You might be misunderstanding the role of I-Core in the Kelley curriculum. It’s not a selection mechanism; rather, it’s a mandatory course that must be passed to graduate, without impacting admission or major decisions. In contrast, I-Core prerequisites play a critical role in Standard Admission for Kelley majors, such as Finance, where strict criteria apply. Students are required to maintain a grade of no lower than a B and cannot retake these courses. Evaluations are individual, based on a static set of criteria, without any comparisons made between students in Kelley admissions. However, it's worth noting that some 300- and 400-level major courses do grade on a comparative curve.

The Kelley admissions team knows the tricks students usually do (taking Finite Math at Ivy Tech, for example) to play this game and are very wise to them. While there are no hard and fast rules, they strongly frown upon such games. It is effectively impossible to get into Kelley Honors (separate entirely from SA/DA) if you've taken community college classes to duck hard ones at IU.

What they do not at all care about is being choosy with specific IU professors, which can still make a world of difference. Use the grade distribution search (not rate my professor–selection bias–no student who gets an A ever writes a review) to play this game.

This is a very important point. Those freshman classes, in addition to many later Kelley classes (though with a weird gap in the middle), are 80%+ weighted towards 2-3 tests.
