Can I get into Purdue University for Engineering??

Applying to College
1

<p>I applied to Purdue University (West Lafayette) for first year Engineering. I'm not completely sure what field exactly I want to go into which is why I chose to apply undecided within engineering. I'm pretty good at math and applying it towards science. Here are a few of my 'stats':</p>

<p>ACT:
Composite: 30
English: 30
Math: 32
Reading: 31
Science: 27
Writing: 10</p>

<p>GPA: 3.955 Weighted, 3.894 Unweighted
Class rank: 98 of 908 Weighted, 21 of 908 Unweighted</p>

<p>Honors/AP taken: Honors Physics, AP Calculus AB</p>

<p>Clubs/EC: Swimming, Water Polo, National Honors Society</p>

<p>Other: I attended the Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering (WYSE) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.</p>

<p>The only thing that I am really worried about is not having taken an AP science course this year (senior year). I didn't want to take AP physics because the teacher is awful and the class average is a low D, so instead I signed up for Advanced Bio. For whatever reason, my high school decided to cancel that course so I got stuck in regular environmental science (yeah, kind of a dumb course, but I'm interested in Environmental Engineering so i suppose it's okay). I like physics mechanics/engineering mechanics a lot though so I am teaching it to myself along with the help of by previous honors physics teacher from last year, which it seems to be going pretty smoothly so far.</p>

<p>Well that's pretty much me and my portfolio, give me your honest opinion based on your experience(s)/knowledge on the subject.</p>

<p>You’re a lock to get in to Purdue IMO. The question is how much money they will give you. </p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>Do you really think that I am that great of a candidate that not only will I be accepted to their engineering program, but I can also get scholarships from them? Sorry for reiterating what you just said, but that just really made me very confident and enthusiastic. Thank you.</p>
