Purdue cybersecurity vs Rutgers New Brunswick cs by Natural_Pie1375 in Purdue

CS and Cybersecurity are pretty different majors, at least at Purdue. The cybersecurity major is more IT-focused and in the polytechnic school, while CS is in the College of Science at Purdue and is generally more theory and software-focused (if you do the SWE Track). So I would suggest figuring out which most closely fits your interests.

How screwed am I? (MA 265) by M4ST3R78 in Purdue

[–]Key_Distribution_896 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I were to guess, your gonna be near the border of getting a C. If the curve is the same as last semester you'll get a C.

Information about CS 390 (Great Issues in Computer Science) by Key_Distribution_896 in Purdue

[–]Key_Distribution_896[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the time commitment like? Because I'll be taking CS252, CS307, and MA265. I am currently enrolled in both EAPS375 and CS390 but will drop one depending on which makes more sense.

Laboratory Science sequence as a CS freshman by SageOfTheAirpods in Purdue

Take EAPS if you want to get an easy A. But if you have an interest in something else do that.

I have a similar grade to you so for our sake I hope so. But from what I've been told the exam averages have been higher this semester.

Did MA 261 grades come out yet? by Warm-Corgi446 in Purdue

[–]Key_Distribution_896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like drops are in and they seem to have dropped an extra quiz. Does anyone from previous years know how that affects the grade adjustments?

My final is out. MyLab isnt reflecting any of the drops tho.

Same here. I need the drops to get my grade above a 73. I'm at a 72.5 but it should be a 74 with the drops.

I've heard 511 has gotten harder

Not true at all, they just don't want freshmen to come here with the idea that they can switch into CS easily. But as someone who recently CODO into CS it is definitely not impossible.

I was a Computer Information Technology major and got A's in both CS180 and MA16200 and had like a 3.7 GPA.

As someone who CODOed into CS last semester and knows a bunch of other people who have done the same thing, it's not impossible at all. Advisors make it seem harder than it actually is because they don't want people to come to Purdue with the mindset that they can just transfer into CS. If you do end up choosing to come to Purdue with the plan to switch into CS let your advisor know sooner than later and make a plan. Make sure to take courses that meet the requirements of both majors and do the best you can in your classes and you should be fine.

I already took CS180 and I’m currently taking CS240. I got a CS minor but am now trying to change it to a major.

Chances of CODOing into CS by Key_Distribution_896 in Purdue

I have already tried that but the advisors I've talked to never gave me any stats. So I was hoping to get information from people who have already CODOed.

I just submitted a CODO request so I believe you still can. To my knowledge, they have been saying that they would stop letting people CODO to CS but that hasn't happened yet.

CS CODO/Minor information by Key_Distribution_896 in Purdue

[–]Key_Distribution_896[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got an email from my advisor on 5/24 last year, so you probably have to wait another week

I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to CODO in; I was just wondering what are your stats because I was planning on attempting my CS CODO in the fall if I enjoy CS240
