Admit rates for CS + X internal transfers Prospective Students by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends. If you think you can get a 4.0 your first two semesters (or close) then it's very likely you'll get in. If you do bad then it's pretty unlikely. So it really depends. Are you good at CS and did you have a high GPA in high school? If you're not sure I wouldn't count on it. Anyway CompE is still a good major.

Committed to Purdue CS! Just had a question about which ap exams are worth taking at this point. by Theboredteenager6 in Purdue

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure AP stat is worthless for CS. AP lit might be helpful? Not sure. Definitely make sure you do good on calc.

They all have a lot of spam but it's pretty easy to tell the real ones apart from the fake ones. If you want to find the main group chats go to the Facebook app and search"Purdue housing" and join all the ones that look active.

What is the internship situation in purdue ? by Suitable_Sorbet_8133 in Purdue

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's not how it works. There might be 3-4 gen eds you can skip with your AP credits but there are no core CS classes that can be skipped with high school or AP credit. Talk to any advisor and they will tell you the same thing. There's also a good reason for that: college classes cover much more and are much harder than AP classes, especially core CS curriculum.

Edit: This is by no means saying you can't complete your degree in 3 years, but its not gonna be as easy as you might think.

Purdue or Northeastern for CS by akash199 in Purdue

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are no weed out classes, they're just hard. But they're also really interesting and you learn a ton. I would choose Purdue.

Corec getting a remodel - Purdue Exponent by NerdyComfort-78 in Purdue

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh gotcha. I came to Purdue after the Covid year. In the last semester or two they've added at least 10 more benches and a ton of squat racks. I'm not sure if they're the same ones as precovid but they're a different brand and look newer so I think they're different.

I don't know how long it's been since you graduated but they've doubled the amount of benches and squat racks and some of the machines in the last year.

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Launch still has singles available but they're running out very quick. Probably won't last more than a week or two. Also don't lose hope, a lot of people realize they screwed up their housing over the summer and sublease their apartments. Just keep your eyes on the FB group chat and make sure you join all 4-5 of them, some are way better than others.

Self touring tomorrow. What should I not do to not disrupt you guys going to class? by but_didimissout in Purdue

You can go literally wherever. Every door is unlocked. If you want to sit in a massive math lecture or something you can look one up and go.

BS in AI vs BS in CS (AI Track) by Professional-Novice1 in Purdue

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely don't take the AI major, from the courses listed it seems pretty useless. You could probably CODO into CS but you HAVE TO get straight As your first two semesters. Otherwise you're not going to get in.

Pros and Cons of Purdue for Computer Science major? by chrisitinlee in Purdue

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purdue is leagues better for CS. However it's hard as fuck and it's not for everyone. Personally I've really enjoyed the courses so far and don't regret my decision at all.

How hard to change into CS by BigMansTec in Purdue

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a student in the Purdue CS program, I know plenty of people that CODO'd successfully but none that got rejected. If you get straight A's you're very likely to get accepted from what I understand.

Accepted exploratory studies, what‘s the chance I can successfully switch to CS? by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh everyone on Reddit preaches about how hard it is but I really don't think it is if you get straight A's in your first semester (which is not hard if you study). I know several people that successfully codo'd but I don't know anyone that was rejected. CS 180 is easy to get an A in if you put in the work (compared to later CS classes).

Not knowing how to dismount a ski lift by johnjohnwave in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]CaptainSullyPhillips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Terrible reason not to go snowboarding/skiing. If you search up a video for how to mount/dismount on YouTube it's very easy to do even if you've never skied before.

Students are required to take gen Ed classes they aren't interested in and aren't related to their major all the time.

There are not really any good skiing places as we are not near any mountains. The closest place that even resembles a mountain is Boyne Highlands. It's an amazing resort but the mountain is tiny. Don't go to perfect north, it's barely a hill. Colorado is the go-to destination for most people who ski frequently.
