<p>i think u could make it. easily.</p>

5

<p>even if i have scored 45% in 11th. i in my essay that why i scored so low?</p>

<p>purdue is a bit non-selective school and with those kind of activities and predicted SAT score, you will quite likely get in.</p>

7

<p>You’ll get in without a doubt. But no scholarship. As far as I think Purdue doesn’t offer any to International students.
So remember that’s gonna turn out to be like 24 lac per annum!</p>

8

<p>yea,i dont need scholarship.</p>

9

<p>I guess scholarships in the form of stipends are given only to PG’S…
but purdue’s got a hell lot of Indians…especially IIT’ians :slight_smile:
g luck</p>

10

<p>Are you serious? IITians go to Purdue for their Postgrad? That’s really sad. I mean IITians should atleast go to Berkeley or Stanford if not MIT! 0_0</p>

11

<p>hey dude
IIT’ians are present everywhere.Its just that they ARE ALSO IN PURDUE…
thats what I meant in my previous post…
