My Unusual Purdue Transfer

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello,I live in Miami, FL currently have been attending Miami Dade College since 2012. I am in my 5th semester and after the Summer term, plan on transferring out. By then I'll have my AA and 78 credits. My GPA as of now is 3.27 but with Spring and Summer should be up to about a 3.5/3.6.I sent in my application to Purdue as a Statistics major and my transcripts should be arriving there any day now. I just have one problem, I never graduated high school or received a GED because I attended Jewish Talmudic schools and got into MDC as a transfer from there, with no need to prove high school completion.I sent an email over to Purdue explaining them the situation and they kindly responded that they are going to wait until they evaluate my whole file before deciding if they will waive my GED/HS completion because they usually only do that for students who've completed a bachelor's.I'm going to have completed Physics1&2, Calc 1,2,&3 , a "C" class and all general ED requirements.By the sound of this story, anyone think I have a chance to get in for Fall 2014?</p>

<p>Why don’t you just take the GED test?</p>

<p>Do you know how long it takes to get results? I guess I could probably do that and get it out of the way, true.</p>

<p>Yeah you probably should take the GED for good measure. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t recommend just winging it, but I’m pretty sure anyone who has above a 3.0 GPA in 78 units worth of college courses can pass the GED with ease</p>

<p>Now according to the Florida GED website, it takes about 6-8 weeks to get results after you’ve taken the test. </p>
