Hi,

I'm an exchange student from Australia pursuing a degree in MATH/CS.

Looking for suggestions on course selection, these are some of the courses I had in mind

1. Applied machine learning

2. Internet Web Systems

3. Theory of Computation

4. Stochastic Calculus

5. Stochastic Processes

6. Operating System

7. Deep Learning for Data Science

8. Game Theory

9. Big Data Analytics

I'm considering swapping Stochastic processes with something else, since I feel like there is alot of overlap with stochastic calculus. I'm also considering ESE546 over Deep learning for Data science.

Thank you so much for your advice

Looking for recommendations as the title suggests. Preferably affordable and knows Asian hair. Thanks!

Would i miss a ton of activities? Do people ever do this? I want to be on campus for the fall due to med school interviews.

Hey. I have a question. So how good is the South Asian department in UPenn ? I'm planning on applying for the PHD there next year. Like I'm planning on doing something on muslim communities, so I wanted to know if there are professors in that department who could help me with that.

Could anyone help me develop film for a class? I am extremely lost with the whole process and need someone to guide me on developing negatives. Literally willing to pay, as I understand that it likely will be a time-consuming process & time is valuable. Thank you so much!

Hi, I was just accepted into Wharton’s Advanced Finance Program.

Does anyone know if I get access to any on-campus benefits like the Venture Lab?

Anything that is also a must-see while I visit the campus?

🙏

Considering food costs as well^

Hello! I am a senior in high school applying to Penn. I know that some majors are easier/harder to get into a school with than others. Is this true for Penn as well? For example, I know I am applying to CAS for sure, I am just uncertain about the major. If I apply with a less popular/competitve major at CAS for better luck with admissions, would I be able to change that major before beginning the semester? Or does major entirely not matter at all, and is it rather whether you get into that school at Penn or not?

If a student is taken to HUP and is administered an alcohol blood test showing they are legally drunk what happens with Penn? Are they required to participate in counseling or course through Penn Wellness?

I'm a freshman taking cis 1100 and currently on 4 classes worth 4 cu. However, as I am a beginner in coding, maybe the pace has been too fast for me, but for some reason I find myself anxiously struggling on the homework assignments which is stressing me out a lot and taking time away from my other classes, 2 of which are STEM. It started off well and I was doing fine, I also try to put in more work seeing how I'm struggling, but for one of the assignments I worked for over 8 hours, went to office hours and still didn't do as well as I should've. I'm not sure what more I can do, but my worry is that even if I put in more work, get tutoring, and extra help in OH, my results so far have already set me up for getting a bad grade, which will inevitably bump down my gpa. It sucks even more because I took this class seeing how it is an introductory one and wanted to get some basic knowledge, but now even the effort I'm putting in my other classes will go to waste, seeing how the homework makes up so much of the grade for this class. Initially I talked to my advisor and wanted to do P/F, because I plan to major in Econ so it wouldn't be required for me, and she said I can put it down as such as long as it's used as an elective. When I went to submit my form, it didn't give me the option for CIS 1100, so now I assume the class might have a specific no Pass/Fail rule, which ruined my plan. I didn't want my first semester at Penn to start off like this, but I guess I have no other choice.

Hey Quakers! (My Reddit is glitching I can’t put a thank you down bellow so THANK YOU IN ADVANCE) I am a senior and want to do Young Scholars in Spring 2025. I want to challenge myself and am attending a School District of Philadelphia school, so it would be free for me. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to take AP Stats in school because it got full and my dream major is nursing. I want to know how is STAT 1110 601 Introductory Statistics? How is the workload and instruction?

Their lines was always long in franklins Table. I always thought they had a good business since it was popular. Why did they close?

I was just wondering what a good GPA is if i'm trying to into areas like consulting or IB. One month in and I'm realizing 4.0 might not rlly be feasible for me so I was wondering what a good GPA would be and stuff

Does anyone that took ECON 0100 in the past know if Duchenne curves the midterms especially the first midterm? If she does what are the curves usually like?

Hello

I recently got my bike stolen from the bike rack, located near The Arch, in Locust Walk. It was a blue color Next bike. I have filed a report with the Penn police. I just wanted to know, will they be able to find it or is it gone for good?

Hi all,

So for some context, my girlfriend went to Penn years ago. We recently did a walk through the campus on our way to dinner in West Philly and she showed me a few of the buildings where she lived/took classes. One of the places we stopped by was the "biopond" (I think it's the James G. Kaskey Memorial Park but specifically the pond). She reminisced to me about how she used to sit out by the pond and enjoy the nature/the silence as a way to just relax and unwind. She seemed to really enjoy being back and remembering her times spent there fondly.

I had the thought that I could try to get a painting of the biopond and gift it to her for Christmas. The issue being that I cannot for the life of me paint or draw at all. I honestly wasn't sure the best way to try and find local artists that I could commission for the painting but I figured it was worth just posting it in the actual subreddit and seeing if anything turned up. So if any potential artists would like to reach out or learn more don't hesitate! Or maybe if you happen to know somebody who might be interested even if they're not a student / alumni that would be interested in the work that would be great too. Thanks y'all!

Considering all the requirements are met.

I know that the therapy copay is $10 for Aetna PSIP insurance. Does anyone know if this is after the $400 deductible is paid, or do you have to pay the $400 first before the $10 copay kicks in?

I'll be on campus for all of fall break. Any ideas fun activities excluding stuff in Center City?

I say hi to people wearing their UPenn shirts to show solidarity and I make sure to be happy and socialize. Of course, “everyone” in NYC went to Penn (where I used to live) and so we all had social circles and did things together. No one cared because half the city went there.

In Seattle, I rarely seeing Penn people so I get excited and just want to say hi. Most of them are friendly but some of them are rude and just anti social. I know it’s not me but how do you not let this affect you?

I don’t live my life miserable and I refuse to let people bring me down. It’s in their head and it’s power for them.

can someone please help on the best way to ace his midterms? im so lost doing the old midterms
