Unlike you we are here to discuss science and math. If you want to engage in childish circlejerks over social status, you are wrong on this board.

>>5805245
No, it doesn't. Posting your school's logo or name has nothing to do with science or math. Please go back to >>>/b/ if you want pointless zero content threads.

>>5805251
A discussion between scientists is infinitely more interesting than the usual horseshit here.

>>5805260
No scientist would participate in a thread aimed at children boasting about their illusions of social status. This thread does not and will never contain any kind of insightful discussion. It is worse than roll threads. At least the latter are bearing the potential to be fun for some of their participants.

>>5805260
There is no science or math discussion in this thread. No information is posted or requested. Zero content shitposting does not belong on /sci/.

>>5805260
>between scientists

My fucking sides! You are far away from being a scientist and with that anti-intellectual "lol i troll u" or "muh shitposting culture" attitude I highly doubt you will ever be a scientist.

>>5805268

>tfw you post contains no scientific or mathematical content

ironic shitposting is still

>No scientist would participate in a thread aimed at children boasting about their illusions of social status
No proper scientist would use 4chan as a platform for discussion.

>>5805275
It cannot contain science or math because none of the posters ITT is asking any question or posting any information pertaining to science or math.

>>5805276
Do you think you're a "master trole"? Go back to >>>/b/

>>5805265
I don't understand why you have a vendetta about this thread (other than insecurity) when the following shitty threads are on /sci/:

>>5805143
>>5804499
>>5802233
>>5799792

>>5805037

And this is just the first three pages.

>>5805278
This board is dedicated to science and math. If you want to discuss things that are not science or math or if you want to mindlessly shitpost without any content at all, please do it on other boards.

>>5805280

I am aware of that.
But you (and I) are only adding to the entropy.
One of us should report it.

>>5805283

95% of the stuff on this board is shit
that's pretty good compared to most

>>5805274
I'm actually a scientist. I just don't have a stick up my ass about it.

>>5805283

I attended a SEC school.
The football is awesome.

>>5805283
Unlike this shitposting abomination all of the threads you linked are legitimate discussion threads. They are asking or providing information related to scientific or mathematical contents.

>>5805285
Please do it. >>>/q/622677

>>5805288
No, that's unacceptable. /sci/ used to be good.

>>5805290
You're not a scientist. You're an undergrad student.

>>5805293
I have a degree...so, no, not an undergraduate.

>>5805293

/sci/ used to be good?

"Why does my semen smell funny?"

it was good in your imagination

>>5805284
You're attempting to enforce serious discussion on a website that is anything but that. This board has been nothing but trolling and shitposting since it began, what do you hope to change?

>>5805293
>"all legitimate discussion threads"
>troll physics
>divide by zero
>discussion of engineering hierarchy
>homework

Very funny.

>>5805294
Your degree doesn't matter if all you're doing is childishly bumping shit threads in a provocative manner. Post science and math or GTFO.

!

>>5805303
>Post science and math or GTFO.

do it

>>5805298
You are clearly new here. /sci/ was much better in the past.

>>5805299
This board is for discussion of science and math. Contrary to popular newfag beliefs not every board is /b/. Not every board is dedicated to trolling and shitposting. Please don't post here, if you are not interested in discussing science and math.

>>5805306
I do it every day.

>>5805308

new....

the semen thread was 2007

>>5805303
I can't imagine what kind of exciting experiments you're working on if you have the time to be a self-righteous twat and pass judgment on every thread on this board...

>>5805310
The /sci/ image board didn't exist in 2007.

>I do it every day.

O RLY?

because all you're doing right now is whining

go post some science in another thread

>>5805311
>ad hominem

Come on. At least use some more subtle fallacies.

>>5805308
>Please don't post here, if you are not interested in discussing science and math.
You're stifling proper discussion more than anybody else could hope to do.

>>5805318
>"Your degree doesn't matter if all you're doing is childishly bumping shit threads in a provocative manner."

All of the hypocrisy ever.

>>5805320
No, I'm not. Please show me the "proper dicusssion".

>>5805322
Where? Do you even know what "hypocrisy" means?

>calling my degree worthless because of what I post on /sci/
>an ad hominem attack

Pick two.

>>5805332

Are you an idiot?
That is a meaningless distinction.

>>5805333
I'm not calling your degree worthless. Are you illiterate? I don't even know your degree because you didn't name it. I don't care about it either. A degree does not justify shitposting. Even a Nobel laureate wouldn't be welcome on this board, if all he did was mindless garbage posting. Discuss science and math or GTFO.

So far ITT: Cornell, Columbia, Rutgers, and JHU.

>>5805325
>Please show me the "proper dicusssion".
The OP's topic for example? I'm sure you can find something science related to talk about when it comes to higher education.

>>5805337
WHAT is a meaningless distinction? Write a coherent argument please.

>>5805345
The OP is zero content off-topic posting. He might have rolled for dubs instead and it would be just as pointless.

>>5805347

You are an idiot.

>>5805353
Go away with your infantile flaming. >>>/b/

>>5805350
So you instead chose to shitpost instead of hiding and reporting the thread? You understand the irony right?

>>5805356

No. U.

>>5805360
If only that worked.... Did you read my /q/ thread?

fuck yeah

>make thread about other people's colleges
>everybody angry

Why? People here talk about their universities all the time

>>5805380
and soon to become centralsupélec, in paris-saclay

watch out stupid shanghai ranking

>>5805381
because everyone is too embarrassed to post their shit tier community college logo so flame instead

>inb4 ivies are shit/overrated

>>5805381
Off-topic shitposting does not belong on /sci/. The fact that rule violatings are happening frequently does not mean they are allowed.

>>5805381
>everybody
Vocal minorities.

>>5805384
0/10

>>5805386
Educated posters are a "vocal minority" on /sci/? Are you claiming the shitposters are the majority now?

>saging thread

90% chance of high school/community college

>>5805252

I'm starting a degree in engineering at Cornell next fall. Not quite sure what to expect...are you in engineering? If so, how difficult was first semester?

>>5805398
You're wrong though. Now stop shitposting.

>>5805324
I'm considering applying there for a grad program in CS. What should I have in order to have a decent chance of acceptance?

>>5805392
>>5805403
There's no such thing as shitposting. It's all in your head.

>>5805399

No I am biology, but depending on which classes you took in high school you might have an easier time than most. If you already took physics and calculus you will be in a good position, but you should still practice every day or you will fail.

>>5805403
>citation needed
is someone mad they aren't as smart as they think they are?

>>5805413
Alright, thanks. I took Physics/Calculus in high school, but unfortunately I struggled with chemistry when I took it a few years ago and that's what I have to take first semester. I don't remember anything and I'm not looking forward to that.

>>5805412
Off-topic, zero content and rule violating posts are shitposting. That's how shitposting is defined.

>>5805419
0/10, try harder, shitposter.

>>5805185
I guarantee I'm the only one here.

Anyone else?

>>5805439
Like I said; all in that virtue-addled brain of yours.

>>5805449
I'm stating objective facts. Please stop shitposting. You are wasting your time.

>>5805448
how do you feel about being superior to everyone else?
are you thinking about going to prépa?

Yep.

test

>>5805466

chemical engineering phd candidate

>>5805185

>>5805451
I don't think that I am. It's true that I am very fortunate in going to my school, but that doesn't automatically give me superiority.

I don't know about prépa, not even sur I would be getting in. A friend of mine went to ETH Zürich at the beginning of last year, from what I hear it's quite nice.

u of t, sg

>>5805499
oh man.
Going to a lycée français à l'étranger is often a guarantee of quality.
Whatever; CPGE and French grandes écoles are quite nice if you want to become an engineer.
Ecole normale supérieure is a must if you want into research.
look it up before making a decision.

>>5805522
What would a french student have to do to get into MIT?

>>5805522
Salut, est ce que l'Ecole polytechnique (Le palaiseau) est d'un bon niveau en chimie ?

>tfw philosophy grad who just finished law degree but who loves science

>>5805556

Hey, how good of a choice was philo for Law? And do you think going into Law is looking up? Are there good opportunities for graduates, in your opinion? Does it seem as soul sucking as they say?

UW-M Philo here

>>5805541
il y a mieux dans le domaine de la chimie: l'ESPCI
école supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielle

>>5805535
who cares about MIT, their courses are less interesting than those in prépa...
but most (if not every) grandes écoles have partnerships with universities like MIT, Columbia, Berkeley, Cambridge, Oxford, l’Imperial College and University College London à Londres or KTH in Stockholm or georgia tech

actually you're encouraged to postulate to anything, as long as you have the right GPA:
more than 3.6 for the most selective ones, more than 3.2 I think for the least selective ones.

There's a quota for each school, but nothing prevents you from trying on your own.

>>5805598
I don't want to get in with partnerships but directly out of high school (post bac)
How can I convert the moyenne to a GPA?
Does it matter if I did an ES bac or S bac if I'm in for CS
