BIOL 221 (Microbiology) Question So, for context, I've heard from countless people (including two different advisors) that taking Microbiology here at Purdue is GPA suicide and it's AMONG (I realize there are definitely harder ones) the hardest classes you can take here at Purdue. I was wondering if anyone here had experience taking this class over the summer and if they had a better experience taking it then as opposed to during the year. Thanks for any and all advice!

Pre-pharm, how are you feeling? Any PP2's or PP3's on here? How are your interviews going? Curious if anybody has any info on the makeup of the interview pool. Number of PP2, PP3, Purdue students? BIOL 301 knocked a lot of people out of the running, but I haven't received a solid number. There are currently somewhere south of 180 PP2 applying is all I can say for certain. No idea how many PP3's are reapplying. The current application pool is the 2017 group. If you want some stats from the last two years I've got them. Accepted in 2015 were 82% Purdue pre-pharm (124 out of 151 accepted, 189 West Lafeyette applicants total). Accepted in 2016 were 81% Purdue pre-pharm (122 of 152, 171 West Lafayette applicants). Definitely a strong bias toward those who did their pre-pharmacy at purdue. Acceptance rate for PP3's is said to be somewhere around 65%, but I can't find my original source to confirm. Average GPA in both years was north of 3.5 as is expected. The statistics don't give a breakdown as to who received interviews. What is known is there were 570 applicants in 2015 and 489 in 2016. Out of state applicants are pretty well out of luck. 2016 had 4 out of 258 out of state applicants enter the program. Hopefully these favorable statistics have made things a bit less worrisome for you. Try not to think about it for the next month. Focus on classes. If you do get accepted, you don't want to fail biochem and get knocked off. That's where the waiting list gets its chances from after all. Best of luck. If you've got any other stats, rumors, info, or encouragement post up.

ME 200 Online? Has anyone taken this course online and if yes could you please tell me how difficult or easy it was and how exactly it worked? I know that the homework is difficult so would taking it as a distance class put me at a disadvantage since there is no access to help rooms or TAs? I am retaking it so I know what the course is like in general but since I am doing it for a better grade I want to know how possible it is to get a B or B+ in it. Thank you!

Transferring into engineering after the first semester? I was wondering if that is a possibility coming out of Exploratory Studies to transfer into FYE after the first semester, I have AP credits for AB Calc and Chem and a few history classes. Is this a possibility or is it necessary to take one year of Exploratory Studies before transferring in?

Affording Purdue. Got a few questions. Hi, I'm an OOS student who has been accepted to CE at Purdue (undergrad). The total cost of attendance is around $44,000 whereas the financial aid offered(including federal loans and work study for which I got $1,250 each semester) is around $14,000. My parents can afford paying $10,000 a year. That brings the remainder down to $20,000. I plan to work as soon as I am at Purdue, however I don't know anything regarding the pay for jobs in the area. Are there any ways I can afford the school? Additionally, I would only be living on-campus for the first year and would get an apartment, and hopefully a roommate when I'm a sophomore to reduce housing costs. Thanks in advance!

How difficult is it to codo into Krannert? I enrolled as an exploratory studies major and am looking to switch into supply chain, information and analytics. My exploratory advisor (who is garbage by the way) is insistent on claiming I'm too far behind in math (MA158) to make it into Krannert, and I should try for supply chain management technology. I would not have a problem with this, but I am by no means a tech/hands on guy... So what do you guys think? Is my advisor correct?

House Roommates Wanted for Fall PhD I am looking for at least two persons to share rent with at a house while I attend Purdue in the Fall. You will be able to tour it before the fall begins, and can start moving in as soon as I've closed and you've completed your portion. If you move in and make your payment, rent *itself* will be between 250 - 350$, or so. *You must be able to pass the application process first, which you pay for and complete for yourself before you are ever allowed to move in.* You don't have to stay the entire duration of the academic year, but if you plan to move, please let me know so that I can find someone to take your place. I'm focused on finding roommates that are comfortable to live with and that reliably pay their bills. Things are pretty inexpensive - 25$ for fast, reliable wifi, energy is about 20-40$ after being split, and water something like 20 or so. Other than that, there isn't much else needed. There is a security deposit which I demand for the house, but if you don't damage anything then you'll get it all back. What I'm looking for: Most preferably someone who is stable and chill, who I can trust to make the payments on time and to be able to resolve issues (not take a shit in the doorway when stuff goes wrong, because guess what, we *all* have communication problems). I'm quiet and mind my own business 95% of the time, so I kind of want the same. When you want something, I can't read your mind, but if you just ask for it, I'm sure we can come to a resolution. I'm a workaholic and I keep to myself. I'm not a slob but I'm not a neat freak. I do ask that you clean your own dishes in a reasonable amount of time, that you not track in dirt, and just in general not be too loud. Just be considerate of what you say, and we'll get along. About me: I'm a 25 y.o. scientist & software developer, now about to pursue my PhD at Purdue, and I spend the vast majority of my time reading or on the computer. I love to read and watch documentaries, but I personally tend to be quiet and contemplative most of the time (unless I want to hang out). I do talk, and I'm not anti-social - I just anticipate that almost all of my time will be consumed. Although I have a playstation 3 & big screen tv, I don't play video games or even watch tv (at all) so if you want cable, that's on you. I don't mind if you play, and I may occasionally join if you already are. If you want something changed, just ask for it calmly, and I always get it done. I have steady and very reliable income so I don't have to have anybody on the lease, but I would much prefer to save money. I personally like to relax and have only a couple beers (I like hard ciders and dark beers, but will drink whatever) and chat. I like outdoor sports, so I'm into road biking and kite surfing, but currently almost never go because I'm too busy. In my other free time, I work out, and if I'm not doing one of those things, I'm probably spending time with friends somewhere. I can cook food that will knock your damn socks off, my favorite recipes are Jalapeno Pepper Poppers, baked stuffed bell peppers, omelets, and ad hoc stew. My furniture & stuff is pretty nice; I have a massive suede sectional sofa that fills a whole corner and a kickin' leather ottoman. You're welcome to kick back on it or whatever with your friends whenever you want them over.

Transferring from CIT to CS I'm a senior who originally got given the opportunity for waitlist/alternate major. On my alternate major form I listed the options of CIT and Undecided. I ended up getting into CIT. Due to my interests being in computer science and artificial intelligence, how hard is it to get into the CS program during your freshmen 2nd semester/sophomore 1st semester? Is it worth the gamble to take CIT then move into CS, or should I ask to move to undecided and get all the requirement and transfer into CS from there?

UFO? Not really, although, I guess by definition from my perspective. Took the trash out and saw a really bright 'star' in the west sky, looking from Lafayette. Had an orange hue. Kept staring at it for a several minutes and it turned slightly red and was moving verrrrry slowly, faster than a star, much slower than a plane, till it was out of view. Mainly just bothering me what it would've been - anyone have an idea?

How are Intramural Sports @ Purdue, specifically Soccer ? How are the engineering clubs (I want to join a Robotics or similar club) How are the dorms and what are the best dorms for freshmen males? What is the campus like? How are the parties? (I'm not much of a party person but wouldn't mind going to one once in a while) How are internship opportunities? Are the advisers for Exploratory Studies helpful? What do you like most about Purdue? Thank you so much, any answers would be greatly appreciated!
