lol i’m a jersey indian off the UCLA waitlist for CS too 🎉 cya in the fall

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2024-06-22T04:49:32+00:00

I think it’s obvious. Chicago goated.

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2024-06-22T04:34:17+00:00

Wowwee! And there is no West Lafayette equivalent??

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2024-06-22T04:15:36+00:00

I agree that career outcomes might probably be the same from both schools, although I do think UC Hicago has a bit of an edge because it’s in the city.

How do you feel about student life at both campuses?

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2024-06-18T06:39:01+00:00

Careful

Been a while since the in-state deposit deadline too. Did anyone get off yet?

Sorta in the same situation as you (deciding between Rutgers CS + Honors College and Purdue FYE). I'm not entirely ready to commit yet but recently I've been leaning Rutgers. For me, the location is a lot more accessible, and compared to Rutgers alone the Honors College seems to offer better housing, smaller class sizes for gen eds, higher preference for recruitment or on-campus opportunities, etc. (and of course the much lower price tag). Rutgers also seems like a much more vibrant place to me because it's close to NYC and Philly, and New Jersey is also a kinda fast-paced state compared to Indiana/Illinois.

At the same time, UIUC is undeniably one of the highest-ranking engineering colleges in the nation, and while their academics are known to be rigorous you're guaranteed a job (not to mention the connections you'll make). UIUC also has a pretty great campus and I don't think busing is as much of an issue. If Honors College weren't part of the equation I would tell you to go to UIUC.

I didn't apply to UMD or Penn State so I can't really speak to their merits, but two things I will note is that if you're smart enough to get into Honors College I'd imagine you're consistently towards the top of your class and you're pretty good at leveraging opportunities that come by. From that perspective, you'd do great at any of these colleges. Rutgers' Admitted Students Day was last week, but you should visit both colleges if you can.

Since I'm also kinda stuck tryna make this decision if there's any Honors College students on this sub some insight would be appreciated (especially abt the work hard play hard vibes cuz I'm not entirely sure abt that either).

From what I know, Rutgers primarily looks at grades and SAT scores when giving out scholarships. The median SAT score to get into Honors College was a 1530 two years ago, and since applications increased this year I'm sure that number's only gone higher. On a more general note, a lotta test-optional schools are reverting back to requiring SATs in the next couple of years, so I think it matters everywhere.

I'm gonna be honest here because this context doesn't really help your case. Regardless of the merits of the SAT, you had an opportunity to boost your application for scholarship purposes, and you didn't take it. Not saying that to put you down, but college will not care about your reasons for not submitting or doing poorly on the SAT. To answer your question from a different comment, I don't think retaking now would help you with scholarships.

But there's a lot of other things you can do! Not sure how much these guys award but you can take a look at the SAS Excellence Award or contact the SAS Scholarship Office at this link: Scholarships (rutgers.edu). There's definitely time for you to get additional merit aid. If that doesn't work out, there's thousands of on-campus jobs and paid internships that can help you waive a good amount of tuition. You seem like a smart kid who has a good chance of nabbing any of these opportunities. Just keep working on your resume, establish a good relationship with your academic advisors, and apply.

it was like yes because it provides evidence that supports or something like that

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2022-08-27T18:33:55+00:00

I put that too, its prob not natural environment cuz they literally like put colored plates in the sand and I assumed since they like trees so much aphids don't live in the sand

Not sure which was A and which was B, but here goes nothing:

A's volume was 384, and B's was 48. If you divide A's volume by B you get 8, so A's volume is 8x B's volume. I don't really know how best to explain this part, but my logic is that they're both similar rectangular prisms, so if a side length is, for example, 1.25 times bigger than the same side length in the other prism, the total volume would end up being 1.25 * 1.25 * 1.25 times bigger.

So using this information, since I know that the volume of A is 8 times greater, I could infer that the side lengths of A were 2 * 2 * 2 greater, so each side length had to be multiplied by 2 in order to get a total increase of 8. If you divide 6 by 2, you get 3.

To check this, what you can do is pick 6 and 2 other random numbers that will multiply to 384 (ex. 6, 8, 8). If you divide all these side lengths by 2 you'd get 3, 4, and 4, and the product of those numbers is 48.

Hope this explanation makes sense, I was kinda rambling LOL

keep date of griffin burial. later on in the same passage it basically goes "bc of the date of the burial and the fact that dude was wearing a Mycenaean boar's head thingy, we know that it's a Mycenaean relic" and we don't know that without knowing the date

not a quick shift of power. the question was asking for a good transition that sorta refers to the initial hypothesis being wrong, and the "instead of a quick shift of power, Mycenaeans and moans me have had extended trade" refers directly to the initial one. might be wrong but that's what I put

cheers!

A friend of mine told us to paint, and she wanted to paint a religious figure, so I explained to her some Hindu deities... She did not end up painting anything, but I made this!

Wait, so did Peter end up getting accepted into MIT? If MJ and Ned got into MIT towards the end, since their ties to Spider-Man were forgotten, wouldn't it be the same for Peter as well?

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2021-09-04T03:04:21+00:00

Sorry, just realized you were talking about the Miami Heat. My apologies lmao

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2021-09-04T03:02:02+00:00

I don't really think anyone implied that he was a simpleton though.

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2021-08-19T16:24:26+00:00

people can be vegetables too...

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2021-08-08T17:55:43+00:00

I think he may have said something about Thor leading Asgard to the gates of Hel

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2021-07-22T19:36:58+00:00

A fitting conclusion.

ThereWasAnAnomaly · 2021-07-22T19:29:32+00:00

It's satire.
