<p>I wanted to apply to Purdue with my November SAT scores, but in Thailand, we graduated from highschool in February. Will my chance of getting in decrease by applying late? btw im applying for computer science not engineering</p>
<p>Any help or info would be useful</p>
<p>I’m a little confused; I’m not sure whether you graduated in February 2011 or you will graduate in February 2012.</p>
<p>Either way, it shouldn’t make a difference in your chances for admission.</p>
<p>i graduated in February 2012. My grades are low (2.5) because of sickness(epilepse), high SAT and TOEFL (1900 and 588). Do you think i will get in?</p>
<p>I’m afraid I have no way of knowing. I know very little about Purdue or computer science, and less about Thailand.</p>
<p>Hey I’m Thai, and I have a sister who just went to Purdue! Your graduation date doesn’t really matter because you’ll have to apply earlier than February anyway. Look at the deadlines on their website or on collegeboard.com. And if I’m not mistaken, they do Early Action (early considerations)—that way, you’ll have a slightly higher chance and more time for your I-20 and Visas and stuff like that. </p>
<p>Your high SAT (and TOEFL) scores will definitely help! But as for your GPA, you can probably let your counselor write you a letter explaining your condition. I’m not sure how accurate this really is, but I’ve heard they favor International students for some reason. So your chances are excellent if you nailed your essays and extra curricular activities.</p>
<p>On a side note, from what I’ve heard, Purdue is gorgeous. Big green lawns, nice people, AWESOME food, and moderately-sized classes. They also have good advising, I think. Boilermakers woop!</p>

You can apply before you graduate. American students graduate in May and won’t have their final grades by the application deadline either. </p>
<p>BUT: In another thread you said that most of your high school grades were low because you have been struggling with epilepsy, but that epilepsy is no longer holding you back now. That means that your current grades are significantly higher than your grades in the past? If so, it would be in your best interest to apply later, so that colleges can see that strong upwards trend in your grades.</p>
