@AroundHere I’ve been told that employers and graduate schools (especially ones not in the Midwest), do not know about Purdue’s grade deflation and/or just do not care enough to make a difference. Same goes for medical/law schools, although that theory seems more supported. I have no sources or experts, just students and some people who frequent this site.
Also, I don’t really see me having a family or wanting to travel the world to be an issue. But that’s rather personal.
Like I said, I don’t like being at Purdue. I didn’t want to go to Purdue and I unfortunately burnt many bridges with my family trying to go somewhere else.
I have felt depressed and have had some rather discomforting thoughts in my head when I am here. My mental and physical well-being just isn’t worth being here when I am not accomplishing anything I want to.
I have decided to withdraw and have officially sent in a request online.
