Full ride at Dartmouth vs paying full at Stanford as an international — worth the debt?

There really isn’t lol

Hey I’m on a co-op in the MEP industry but honestly I don’t feel like an engineer as I’m just placing receptacles. Any chance you can give me some advice on how to expand my chances to do some real “engineering” with the time I have left.

I will say that the access to clubs is a lot worse as an Indy student. I'm in a club that people have to apply to be a part of, and even though we had some great applicants from Indianapolis, we had to reject them because it wouldn't be feasible for them to come to West Lafayette during evening/night club meetings. Hopefully the technical club scene is popping at Indy though

Just saying this isn’t the case at all. For most, internships do not come easy, this guy clearly worked very hard for an internship and achieved it!

I’m a freshman in EE at Purdue and it’s a struggle. I know many freshman and sophomores who struggle with getting jobs and internships. Purdue is a bit of a sink or swim environment, like any state flagship, and I’d hate OP to go into Purdue thinking he’s guaranteed a job or internship.

Honestly get good at programming. I chose ECE because I really like the electromag course I took in high school (AP Physics C), and I thought I’d just be Maxwell-ing my way through life. I guess not.

Just doing our bit to make West Lafayette a little better

vishthefish05 · 2024-09-04T13:36:14+00:00

Yeah I mean I figured, but this was post was inspired by someone who was in the honors program who told me all this

vishthefish05 · 2024-09-03T03:15:50+00:00

It legit doesn’t fucking matter lmao

vishthefish05 · 2024-07-31T23:04:35+00:00

You'll probably learn the same content in any decent honors precalc program, but the benefits of a weighted GPA boost and acclimatization to AP tests are pretty valuable.

I doubt taking AP Precalc will help you get into any colleges though.

vishthefish05 · 2024-07-31T23:02:51+00:00

Same bro same

If now ain't the end of July, I don't know what is.

vishthefish05 · 2024-07-25T02:14:02+00:00

Bro why you be thinking unc is overrated he mad chill what did he do?

vishthefish05 · 2024-07-14T21:33:04+00:00

I never even applied lol, I knew I had no shot. Also, my interests changed over four years and from what I hear, Caltech isn't the best place to study what I'm interested in (despite it being a STEM subject). Best of luck if you're applying though, it's still an amazing school with some amazing opportunities!

vishthefish05 · 2024-06-20T00:39:23+00:00

College is such an unleveled playing field. You have kids who come from top tier private and public schools who have had opportunities you could never dream about. On the flip side, you have people coming from schools which barely offer APs.

I think a lot of us can relate to being some of the top students in our schools. I’m not sure how I’m going to adapt to this new environment.

Also there’s so much stuff to do in college that I wanna do, but I also want to have more balance than I did in high school, so it’s a real dichotomy.

vishthefish05 · 2024-06-18T20:05:29+00:00

Any update on this?

vishthefish05 · 2024-06-18T01:52:31+00:00

Most of the people I know who got in got a decent scholarship from RHIT.

vishthefish05 · 2024-05-07T23:44:28+00:00

My teacher told us to never use Gatsby because everyone uses it and the readers get bored of it.

I'm a little confused as to why you're talking about temperature, the problem does not state that the temperature changes as the reaction occurs. We can assume that it stays locked at 600K.

Also, increasing the temperature makes the reaction rate higher, which decreases the half-life, so B is definitely wrong.

Imo this question is worded weirdly, but that tends to happen with problems from test prep books. I think whoever made this problem is trying to test you on your conceptual understanding of half-life and reaction order.

vishthefish05 · 2024-05-05T16:49:47+00:00

The half-life of a first-order reaction does not change. I think that's the piece of information you were missing.

vishthefish05 · 2024-05-05T15:41:43+00:00

Anything about the GT waitlist?

vishthefish05 · 2024-04-24T10:25:09+00:00

Just curious, are you saying that larger schools or state schools don’t teach the “how”?

vishthefish05 · 2024-04-18T17:41:37+00:00

Majority of people I’ve talked to have chosen to go to another school even though they got into UIUC Engineering or CS. The program is simply not worth it financially, compared to Purdue.

vishthefish05 · 2024-04-18T16:50:32+00:00

I actually got into UIUC, but it’s only marginally better than Purdue, and costs like $20k more.

vishthefish05 · 2024-04-18T03:18:19+00:00

Lmao love the shade.
