<p>What are my chances at Purdue Engineering?</p>
<p>So nearly 200 people looked at this and either knew nothing about pursue admissions or just decided not to help me out. Please chance me.</p>
<p>Based on my knowledge (not as much as others so they can contribute their opinions and knowledge) your chances look a little low… Purdue engineering isn’t exactly a joke, it’s still a great engineering college that 3.2 GPA is a hurter, and a SAT over 2000 wouldn’t hurt! EC wise…Its decent, but nothing really stands out…the music is good if you compete or play in a band or do some stuff with school, or do you just piddle and take lessons and play? But truthfully I don’t see it happening…but i may be being harsh</p>
<p>Just so you know middle 50% SAT is 1710-2010 for engineering. Over 2000 would help, but I am pretty much 75th percentile. Also those scores are speculations. I get my results tomorrow and I would be astonished if I got below a 1900. I think ~2000 is right. Most likely less than 2100. What really is worrying me is my GPA. I have no idea how colleges will view it. I am hoping some will see that I am not the same student as I was freshman and sophomore year, and see the 3.7 UW junior year in a fairly rigorous schedule, though I can’t help but think a good amount of schools will say… 3.2 yuck… and reject me. Do you think I have a chance considering my trend?</p>
<p>The trend will help a ton, and if your first quarter grades for senior year reflect the trend it will help too! Keep that up and hope for that 2000 SAT and you’ll be great, I was replying late last night and I didn’t check your trend in GPA but seeing that helpa</p>
<p>I, unfortunately only got a 1900. (580 CR, 700 M, 620 W). I am taking the SAT 1 more time and I am also taking the ACT’s and think I have a shot at a 30+.</p>
<p>Also, EC Update:
I am doing a rowan summer engineering program and will likely do the drexel one also. In addition I forgot to mention sports. I have played a sport ever season so far during HS.</p>
<p>Now, I don’t know too much about Purdue, and the Engineering school might be much harder to get into than the main school, but from the looks of it you have a pretty good chance (based off of several websites). Like others have said, GPA is important, but junior and senior GPA has a greater weight, since they want to see an improving trend.</p>
<p>Also, if you don’t mind me asking, where is the info for this Rowan summer program? I’m looking for something to do over the summer that can boost my college apps (I’m a junior) but I couldn’t find anything from Rowan for high schoolers (is it incoming college Freshmen only?)?</p>
<p>Thanks, it is the Rowan RISE program.</p>
