About to start my master's at same place in applied math.

Love this place, but I feel like the departments are so small I can't choose to study outside what they give. I might not stay here for PhD, even though the applied math dept has already offered me a place.

Anyone know a place with good functional analysis?

You're saying i'm wrong? I'm literally in the school.... How else would you differentiate among a group of people that by all other metrics are carvon copies. +/- .5 points on the ACT and +/-20 on the new version of the SAT really don't give them much to work with.

>>8865543
Those are the people they have a tough time deciding to admit. The ones they orgasm over are the ones who do cool ass projects for the major they're interested in and go all out just for that specific subject.

why. the physics department here sucks

>>8865581
i meme, but Mines isn't that bad so long as you aren't a total sperg like the vast majority of the male student body. its weird because the autismo's are pretty much invisible to the women on campus so while the ratio is technically 70/30, the effective ratio when you cut out all the turbo uggo's and unlovable hobgoblins is pretty much 50/50.

CSM is eccentric as fuck, but also extremely comfy at the same time.

>>8865565
33+/1500+ ACT/SAT (beyond that it doesn't matter), 3.8+ uwGPA, accomplish something.
The last one is the biggest one because most people can't quite get that part and instead waste their time on dumb shit like building houses in Guatemala over spring break. This applies for every T-20 school although you can get in without doing this, it just becomes a bigger crapshoot if you don't.

As an example, I have 2 friends who applied to Cornell with essentially equal high stats (35 ACT, 3.85+ GPA). The 1st one got in and the 2nd one was essentially rejected. The first one applied for CS in CAS, and in his free time he made several apps including one that was pretty successful and made him money. The other one was just a captain of the sports team and did shit like serving at the soup kitchen.

You need to be more like the 1st friend than the 2nd friend to get into schools like these. They are looking for people who will probably be leaders in the future, people who don't just have initiative but prove they do.

>>8865543

I'm not saying that you're wrong...

It seems like they should look for the kids this anon talks about >>8865552 instead of chads who play school sports and take a class to study for the SAT.

Also perfect GPA IMO doesn't mean much. In public highschools, you can't really guarantee that the class isn't total garbage. I know this from experience.

Another thing that has always bothered me is how schools like this have a perfect 50/50 gender ratio... I know none of my engineering classes in highschool did, and engineering schools that don't cherry pick for gender usually don't

But what do I know I didn't get in to MIT

>>8865601

Also I would guess the german HS degree to be allowed to study at university equals at least the first 2-3 semesters at a american college.

>>8865616
Oh i misread what you were implying then.
>In public highschools you can't rely guarantee that the class isn't total garbage.
god this is so true. This leads higher coeges to have to esentially blacklist districts and schools which is both more fair to everyone else but unfair to the students of that school who actually do well. My school was a fair bit disliked by the Ivy schools so almost no one got accepted. The only way i saved myself from that was to take 14 total ap class in highschool and it was a terrible experience.
The gender thing is like trying to pull out a weed by the leaf. There is a genuine problem with the genders and the stigma on sciences tho but it starts in primary schools and these moronic quotas only exacerbate the problem because people are more likely to think a woman/black/mexican person got to where they are because of quota. This then leads to more racism/sexism all over. America is fucked up

"no"
thats just not how it works. Assuming German high school is at a higher quality than American, you will probably be at the same level as the other students who had taken very advanced courses in high schools.

I am not that anon so I will address your other post about your chances

To be short, unless that small weather balloon project was some substantial research you have a very low chance at going to Caltech, or any schools of its tier. You are welcome to try as the only thing you lose is your application fee. You simply need to have done things other than study, your school not offering ECs doesn't mean much to them because you should have done things outside of school in order to appeal to them. If you have the numerical grades for those schools (equivalent of 3.85+ GPA and 33+ ACT/1500+_SAT) then you can have solid chances at good unis such as UMichigan, NYU, and the Boston trio of BU/BC/NEU.

Not sure why you would think that... Primary schools are as PC as anywhere else.

The tendencies of some fields to become gender polarized one way or another isn't something that needs to change.

The lack of women in engineering isn't because of sexism it's because they choose other professions when they are given the ability to choose. I see nothing unjust about that.

>>8865689
the discrepancy in engineering in academia is only amplified by the discrepancy in industry.

many women burn the fuck out in their first year out of school.

>>8865697
>How hard would it be to smooth talk your way in?

>>8865689
There is no scientific basis that men are better at math and women are better at english yet on a large scale in our culture we view STEM fields as more masculin and nonSTEM as more feminine. Thats what leads people to choose more in one way or the other.

That being said i am not one for PC bullshit like le PAYGAP and crap like that. Im just trying to say that we put undue problems on ourselves when we genderize these fields. It doesnt HAVE TO change either which way but its just a part of society that we dont need. There isnt any scientific reason why men are disuaded from nursing and women from engineering.

>>8865692

I usually get through my engineering classes because none of it is totally new to me. I've known I wanted to be an engineer since I was 10 and had already been deeply involved/interested in my field for years when I got to college.

So why would women burn out in their first year? Because they are given a rougher treatment then men? No.

>I've known i wanted to be an engineer since i was 10
thats what the discussion us really about. You were pushed ever so slightly to be in favor of the STEM fields while women are pushed away. Its a statistical fact that when people are told they are breaking the norm by doing something that they are more likely to quit it.
Also if we got rid of such a societal gap then there wouldnt be retarded liberuls constantly pushing for moronic quotas

>>8865697
You can't, you need the right blood in your veins as well as the money in the family

If you want to go to a great american uni, go to a German Uni and apply for grad school which will honestly be more what you are looking for. Just do fantastic and get research done.

You can't make this argument without citing some half-assed social "sciences" research.

>>8865726

You can argue that nobody ever really decides anything for themselves and it's all decided for them by subtle outside influences. It also could have been that since I was a sperm, all the subconscious choices I made led me down the path to be an engineer.

If a female really wants to be an engineer or a male really wants to be a kindergarten teacher enough to be able to get through school they still can. I think it's important for these outliers to be accepted because why not, but there is no reason to force it.

That's not enough for either of these schools. I had a perfect ACT, 1590 SAT, was the top student in my class, had every AP credit available to me, tons of extracurriculars and even research experience at my local university which was top 10 for the field I wanted to go into. I was rejected from Caltech, MIT, and every school I applied to except for one. You either need connections to the school or you need to be a minority to get in

there isnt a way for americans do study without high gpa and big debt so probably no.

Where in europe are you from?
You can come to Quebec (canada) if you speak french (or are interested in learning) and start working. Once you've been here for 1 year you qualify for Quebec tuition (so you can go somewhere like McGill for about 3k CAD (about 2K USD) per year. There's also a shit ton of aid. If you're from France or some other french speaking countries you probably qualify for Quebec tuition from the start.

Quebec is an interesting place. It's different from the rest of Canada (not just in language but in culture and general attitude). It has a much more european vibe than pretty much anywhere else in North America, particularly in Montreal. Most students who come to Quebec come to Montreal because it's a big student city (highest students ratio in the population than anywhere on earth if I'm not mistaken, though that statistic might be outdated)
I go to McGill (best university in Canada, though some meme about UofT and stuff but really they're very similar), which is right at the centre of downtown Montreal. While Quebec (and Montreal) are extremely french (outside of montreal basically 100% french), the area around McGill is known as the "McGill bubble" because it's so packed with students that basically everyone speaks english, including people in stores or people giving jobs or whatever. Also McGill is an English university (though you're allowed to submit any assignment or exam in french and have it graded equally, I think this is a law in Quebec). . Lots of foreign students come here and never learn a word of French because they never leave the bubble, which is fine, but there are also lots of french courses you can take which would benefit you (and with the immersion of living somewhere predominantly french speaking with all french signage, you're going to learn quickly).

Tuition for foreign students depends on a few things. There is a lot of aid for foreign students, and many countries have agreements with Quebec to give lower tuition (I don't think Germany does). McGill's (or any Montreal university like UQAM, UdeM, ETS, PolyMTL, Concordia) website will have more information. Generally if you're here for a year (WITHOUT going to school) you start paying the local 2k USD tuition (which is dirt cheap), If you can't afford to stay a year without going to school first, the University usually has work-study programs that let you work on campus

I got accepted (American) into Waterloo for graduate studies in CS. How well-regarded is their program? People in the States don't know anything about our neighbors up north.

>>8866623
>>8866654
If your marks are extremely good(top 1%) you will probably be given a renewable entrance scholarship at McGill (which is something like 10-20k/year until you graduate), which is pretty good.

Living expenses in Montreal are also super low. It's probably among the cheapest big cities to live in. You can get housing probably a 10 minute walk to school for $400-800/month depending on how big and if you want to share with others. Most of my friends pay about $500. Food and stuff is cheap too because a lot is grown in Quebec and there are so many food chains that there's a lot of competition to give low prices, both in supermarkets and restaurants.

It's a pretty great place.
The major issues though are needing to learn French if you want to stay after you graduate or get a well-paying job in the summer or whatever (unless you're employed by the university, get research funding or something), and there's a shit ton of construction around the city that make it hard to get around sometimes. Also the weather can be brutal in the winter (-40C some days, other days we get 50cm of snow overnight)

Let me know if there's anything else you are curious about

>>8866670
also a lot of universities are underfunded, and it kinda shows looking around. Their buildings are in pretty rough shape and you will be put into massive classes because they don't want to pay 2 profs. But It's pretty fair given how little we pay for schooling.

Personally I'm not on financial aid and I work outside the university, but I'm also from here so my tuition is much cheaper than yours would be. If you can demonstrate that you're "in need" (ie don't have the money to pay even if you wanted to), then you could probably cover a large portion, but probably not all of it.
You'll probably have to take SOME loans.

It really depends on the teams you work with. My own experience was terribly hectic since my competition team consisted of only one other person doing actual work while one "focused on documentation" even though his English was shit and the other would either show up and start playing on his phone the whole time or just not show up after he says he will. I got a good story for interviews out of that, though. Facing hardship. Two-man team on a four-man project.

Don't worry though, both mecheng and EEE are great degrees and imperial graduates are in high demand. I understand it's somewhat less theoretical than EEE and has lower mathematics requirements (EEE is largely applied mathematics) but still a great degree.

Chances are you're going to be an investment banker or a management consultant after you graduate anyway so you won't have to do it for long.

american universities do it to their engineers as well. the quantitative reasoning skills you learn are well suited to finance.

I'm a cc brainlet transferring in spring 2018. My gpa is 3.75 right now at 48 credits, and I'm expecting another 4.0 this semester. I've taken my calc 1-3 series, physics, discrete maths, and humanity gen reqs. Where can I realistically transfer to for some type of engineering?

Places I've been thinking about:
Ut Austin
USC
Tulane (they meet 100% of need aid)
Ucla
Colorado school of mines
Lehigh (I would be a legacy student)
Georgetown (for mathss)
Berkeley (for nuclear engineering - their least competitive eng major.)

Am I being unrealistic? Are these places out of reach? I have my GED.

They gave me 17 grand to go there. I'm 24, independent, make 9 grand a year while going to school full time, and a founding member of my cc's geology club. I'm also doing independent study on the chemistry of siderite concretions at Mazon Creek this semester. I included all that on my application essays. I wouldn't be going unless I had a full ride, and a job lined up once I move (Binny's will transfer me because they're great like that).

I collected that fossil at Mazon Creek for my paper. It shows a different type of siderite concretion from the standard oval nodule. Really lucky find for the sake of my paper.

Basically, be poor and work as hard as you can? It's working for me.

>>8867737
Now, engineering consultancy, I see a lot of down in the States, at least at the level of fresh graduates.

>>8868297
Oh, and that hunk of siderite has at least 7 ferns, and a very well defined stick in it. The more I break it apart, the more ferns show up. The black portions? Carbon outlines. There are the standard imprints, but also carbon outlines in the same mass of fossils. It's really an excellent find, even though it's surface weathered. It was part of a larger flat of siderite. Like there was a storm surge that washed a load of plant matter out into the bay of the sea that was once at Mazon Creek. There was enough fresh water and sediment to allow such a massive amount of siderite to form, instead of just a single nodule around a single fern. I should go back to that spot, but there are so many ticks there and I can't let anyone else know about it or the data will be lost. I need to report it to the geological society.

Depends on their current pool of candidates. If you're really bent on getting into a good school, you can look for something to do that will build your application in case you don't make it in this time around or you can look for a transfer program that will put you into a good school, with the transferring institution being your application-builder.

Most of your coworkers will be absolutely dreadful, too. imo, if you're intelligent enough to work for the bigger banks, you're probably intelligent enough to make money in a more enjoyable way.

Its fucking easy
GameBoy assignment was fun, recommended you start on it early/get it from a friend ahead of time so you don't turn in a shitty one (they don't let you use pageflipping)

Literally the only "time consuming" thing this class will give you really and you might struggle with malloc if you don't know C

also TAs need to actually maintain their builds and stop writing shitty ones into brandonware(you'll understand)

Physics at UT: about to be year 5.

Be careful who you take for your upper division physics courses.

Avoid: De Lozanne, Heinzen, Raizen, Distler, and Potter. Unless you are a sadist.

I graduated in the 00's and had a pretty good experience while I was there. The professors, not just in physics, will get to know you and you'll get to know them. I didn't want to go to a big school and I didn't even apply to the big state school which is only a few miles away from home. My largest physics class, the intro series, had ~35 students and the upper level courses had ~10. The big state school I went to for grad had ~1000 students in the intro series and classes of 200.

Graduate admissions committees look at coursework for an indication of success in the first year graduate courses. SU physics has more stringent course requirements then others which will better prepare you for graduate classes and eventually your quals. As an example, we worked through all of Griffiths for E&M in two quarters while some other schools take three.

I had to look up what you meant by "UCOR" since they didn't specifically call it that when I was there. In general I think the university core requirements made my education more complete. It's a Jesuit school so you'll have to take some religious studies classes, but they treat those classes academically like any other subject.

Any ChemE here that can answer a quick question?

I have a problem where I'm looking into vessel purging methods( pressurization, continuous sweep, etc.) Anyone know of some good sources for equations and explanations? My textbook just says what each technique does and doesn't explain the reasoning behind using one or the other.

Taupin here.

I don't like my prépa so I'm seriously considering coming over in Jussieu next year, it's where all my friends from high school are, too.

It's not official so I still have the choice between doing Polytech or pure maths (I have to choose before Friday), is there either one fo those I shouldn't do? I'll be coming in L2 (though we probably already did a lot of the stuff in prépa) btw.

New CS major, attending in the fall.

Does anyone know what I'm getting into? All I've heard is horror stories about the math department, and vague notions of the rigor of their CS program, which seem to be backed up by where their grads go for employment, at least the top 5% or whatever that get hired by the big 4.

I'm not really wanting to go for the big 4 per say, but I do want to get a good job in a company doing interesting things. I'm not exactly sure what purdue's reputation is (I never really heard of the school before getting accepted), and their lack of grade inflation (read: avg. gpa of 2.7 or something fresh year) makes me worried

There's also the fact that I got rejected from basically all my reach schools, and most of the schools I thought I would at least get something from, even though I did "competitive" things like working freelance for a summer, applying for a patent, and working with undergrad students in research at nearby college. (gpa 4.1 weighted, 8 aps by graduation, my hs limited ap classes to junior and senior years only.) Purdue was basically the highest ranked school for CS (20 nationally for undergrad, and also 20th by shanghai rankings internationally) that I got into. So now I'm not really sure what I need to do in order to "succeed", since I don't want to get the same reception from employers that I got from colleges

CS and Math reporting in. Sophomore. Loving it so far. Still got a lot ahead of me.

>>8868872
It's alright. Great reputation in the area, and you basically have to try to not have a job lined up at graduation. But it can be expensive, and as an engineer coming in without AP credits I had to take a lot of filler type classes the first 1-2 years (compared to my brother, studying cogsci at RPI). Also the only good part about campus is it's close to center city and there's a lot going on - it's ugly, crowded, and constantly under construction

It's tough man...
I'm barely making it through all my classes, working my ass off around the clock, but then I see others not working nearly as hard as me and getting better grades. And I'm not even mad that they're doing well. Good for them! I just feel really fucking slow sometimes, you feel?

Somehow I've been struggling through and getting above-average grades on the midterms, but I still feel like I could be doing more. Like I could be doing better. I kind of broke down in front of a friend of mine due to stress, and well, when your friends tell you the same advice your parents give you, you know you're done some dumb shit.

I don't even know why I'm typing this right now, I have three PSets due this Thurs/Fri and an essay the next week, but I think college is finally getting to me...

PSU's alum network is massive. I work in the northeast and see PSU decals and I;ve seen the same out west.

That being said, PSU engineering is really strong and the best in my field (engineering acoustics) so I don;t know too much about physics but engineering seems to be very strong and I'm very happy as a grad student here.
