Merit at Purdue?
That great and huge scholarship. As I mentioned earlier post a beautiful campus, nice weather and easy for you in Chicago to get to with direct flight I assume to Greenville. Congratulations to your daughter

No merit, unfortunately, theyâre not known to be all that generous with merit for OOS students, especially with competitive majors, but it does look like a few kids got $10k which is phenomenal! So anything is possible.
Fortunately, they are at least not one of the pricier public Universities and no planes needed if this winds up in the running, so that saves a lot as weâve seen over the past 1-1/2 years!

Another Purdue acceptance! D21 for Engineering. Itâs at the top of her list but since no merit, itâs not a done deal.

Yes I think so too.
With Georgia Tech, USC, UT-Austin and UIUC decisions coming out in the next 2-3 weeks, kids will have even more options in hand.

Wow! Congratulations to you all! This has been a great day on CC!
D21 had two acceptances this week:
Furman with $35k Townes Scholarship
Rhodes with $32k Presidential Scholarship and is a finalist for $35k Cambridge.
Edit: Corrected misunderstanding about stackable scholarships.

Unfortunately, UIUC doesnât come out for another month yet. Most of his friends didnât apply to UT, he didnât like his program there, so he also passed on it. USC will only do the scholarships soon and main admittance will be in March, also not where our strongest engineering kids look at, and I think GT RD is late March also and very few from our school apply there. A lot will be waiting for Michigan in the next few weeks, and Illinois in the next month, and then what falls in late March mainly. Some also to Wisconsin that prefer that over Purdue, although not on our list at all.
We think at least 7 (all boys so far) were accepted to Purdue, all CS or Engineering. Iâm sure weâll hear about the girls soon enough and others. Crazy though.
Purdue a great school and I understand great CS program. So congratulations to your son

I think UCLA gets about that much on average. They probably just hire more AO.

@burghdad Thank you! Long road of decisions ahead of us, but it finally feels good to have a couple options now. Unfortunately, that also now put him back into the not wanting to do the Honors essay for Miami, 
but maybe I can still work on him with that!

So much great news to catch up on! Congratulations on all of the acceptances and big merit awards! Our 21s are cleaning up!! 
I cannot get over the numbers of submitted apps at some of these schools! Over 100K at NYU? How many do they accept?!
@JanieWalker Iâm glad you checked in, I was just thinking of you! Crazy news with your ex, but like you, I wouldnât want to trade places! Hopefully it doesnât bother your girls too much. I love your plans to reinvent yourself after your girls are settled in college. Fun to imagine the possibilities!
I will have to give Reddit another try. It overwhelms me.
