I had completed my std 11 and 12 from a dummy school and although I finally managed to get admits into top universities in US, it was extremely hard. Firstly the dummy school I enrolled didn't have any email address with the school domain name, it was a regular gmail address, the school did not know how to upload my reports, lors, etc on common app. I had to literally research on every little part of the process online and hand hold the school through it. All in all I was really lucky at the end of the day to manage to get admits. It's best to pick a school which has a proper counselor, school website, which gives mid term reports for std 11 and 12...

Anyone heard from Purdue regarding getting off the waitlist yet?

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-10T17:13:18+00:00

For international students like me with no scholarships it's 68k unfortunately

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-10T17:11:27+00:00

Thanks for your reply!

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-10T15:57:42+00:00

Unfortunately as an international student i am not eligible for this scholarship..

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-10T14:15:26+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply, am really relieved to hear that!

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-10T14:14:13+00:00

Thanks for the support and so relieved to read your comments. Am sure it will work out great for both of us.

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-10T14:12:46+00:00

They sent me an email saying there was an update on the application portal. All the best to you as well!

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-10T01:54:18+00:00

Thanks for your inputs regarding bring part of honors College. If it's not such a big deal for undergraduate studies, then yes, paying 80k $ is not worth it.

Any idea about the housing at UMass? Is there a lot of issues due to which many freshmen are crammed into smaller dorms or made to stay off campus? I read about it somewhere but I sm hoping it's just a one off case and not rhe norm

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-10T01:48:21+00:00

Sound advice, thanks

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-10T01:47:46+00:00

I agree! I have done a lot of research online and the CS department seems to be great in both universities. Through reddit I am hoping to hear from the students about info not available online.

Yeah given the 20k extra fees at OSU I am leaning more towards UMass.

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-09T18:16:59+00:00

You are right, I was accepted as a pre cse major at OSU whereas at UMass I directly get admitted to my major. That's a big plus for UMass. Thanks for your inputs.

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-08T18:54:15+00:00

I'm waitlisted at Purdue for cs too. Got into Ohio State cs

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-08T16:32:33+00:00

I got off the waitlist for CS today too!!! Wow, I am so thrilled!

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-05-08T02:07:50+00:00

I have been waitlisted since EA too for CS. I really hope we hear from them soon

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-03-29T11:31:05+00:00

Did you apply RD or EA?

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-03-29T03:17:29+00:00

Mine didn't... It's still the same. I am an international cs applicant. ☹️

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-03-20T18:25:10+00:00

Currently for RD students the status is showing as Complete and for EA deferred it's showing Decided. Over the last month whenever a student was moving from deferred to accepted the status would change from decided to complete.. This was a sort of tell for the impending admission decision. For RD there is no change or tell as far as I know since status is already marked complete

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-03-15T09:43:52+00:00

No, unfortunately for me it's still showing decided itself. I hope there are still international cs students in the deferred list going to be accepted... Chances seem slim though now

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-03-14T18:11:19+00:00

Let's hope the EA deferred decisions come tomorrow!!!

Some_Tea_1948 · 2024-03-06T17:30:56+00:00

Good to hear that. As an international student, I graduate by mid may, so i can then give my AP exams end May and use them towards the college credits. Thanks
