<p>For me, Purdue was always my number 1, I respectfully turned down:</p>

<p>U Vermont
U Minnesota
Michigan State
Penn State (In state, long story)
U Pittsburgh
and a few others that don't really matter...</p>

<p>What about you?!</p>

<p>I turned down a full ride in state school, and UC San diego.</p>

3

<p>University of Toronto</p>

4

<p>-Indiana U (full ride)
-U of Illinois Urbana Champaign
-U of Michigan Ann Arbor</p>

<p>i’m just curious icecube… what prompted to you turn down a full ride and admission to two other sweet schools?</p>

6

<p>for UIUC and UM i cant comment but he obviously knew that IU SUCKS</p>

<p>My daughter turned down:</p>

<p>UC Berkley</p>

<p>Drexel</p>

<p>Colorado School of Mines</p>

<p>UCSD</p>

<p>Cal Poly</p>

<p>^ are you serious !? purdue over UCB ??</p>

<p>Very Serious-</p>

<p>Her life= Her decision</p>

<p>I think part of it was her best friend is going to UCB and they are to competitive with each other.</p>

<p>My daughter is very happy and Purdue is top-notch for Engineering which is her major.</p>

<p>She went to a Purdue event in SOCAL a couple of weeks ago, and came away very impressed with the traditions and the alumni that were there.</p>

<p>It is my view that she had a lot of great choices and that she chose well.</p>

<p>Purdue is ranked higher than Berkeley for certain types of engineering including Aerospace, Agriculture, and Industrial, there are probably more that I do not know about. Berkeley liberal atmosphere is a turn off for a great number of students.</p>

11

<p>i turned down purdue and cooper union for minnesota</p>

12

<p>^That was not the question.
Also I can’t believe I forgot putting VA Tech down on mine, it was Purdue’s main competitor.</p>

13

<p>Michigan State
University of Nevada - Las Vegas</p>

14

<p>Georgia Tech
Virginia Tech
Penn State University Park
University of Maryland-College Park
Syracuse
WPI
Rensselaer
UMass Amherst</p>

15

<p>I first applied to IU with the idea of pre-med, but then I changed to Engineering. Obviously, IU isn’t an engineering school, so I had to turn it down. UIUC and UM were both at the +40k area, unlike Purdue which was $22k.</p>

16

<p>turned down purdue, uiuc, dayton, and ohio u for ohio state</p>
