Purdue doesn’t provide any financial aid to international students.
@Pranav22 and @acebuck9999 - Your profile looks good. I think you guys will get in. If (God forbid) you guys didn’t get in I’d say that would be only because of your SAT 1 scores.
Does Purdue offer any merit based scholarships to international students?
@feroz007 Will applying for a financial aid affect the admission decision. By the way I am an Indian as well and plan to apply for financial aid.
My sat score is 1850
My 10th c.g.p.a. is 9.4
my 9th c.g.p.a is 8.8
my 11th score comes up to 75-80% , but i am aiming for more in 12th grade (only first term)
I have won a certificate for photography in school.
I have got certificates for movie making in schools
I have also received a certificate for adventures such as trekking etc.
My sat subject test scores are around 2250
Won Certificates for Singing,dramatics and dance in school
I will be giving the ACT in which i am aiming for 32+ in all of them.
I will also be improving on my EC this coming year since I have one more year to go. I plan to go for an internship in a company and probably do community service.
Please chance me!
by the way I am an Indian as well planning to apply for financial aid and plan to do Aeronautical Engineering in Purdue.
I am studying CBSE.
I am planning to go for early decision i.e. November 1st if that helps in anyway.
Purdue does not offer Financial Aid to international students.
@DarkEclipse Okay, Is it hard to get the merit based aid?
or Is there another way to get financial aid through third party companies etc. ?
@DarkEclipse also, http://www.iss.purdue.edu/admission/ugrad/CountryRequirements/India.cfm according to the admission criteria for Indians, It says they need the 12th standard certificate or transcript but since I am planning to apply early decision, only my 1st term 12th exams would be over by then. Is there a solution to this?
@feroz007 What transcripts did you send? Did you apply early or regular?
I don;t know the answers to any of your question.
In fact, that’s why I’m here, to ask whether merit based aid is available, although I highly doubt it.
@maneendra296, @DarkEclipse : As far as I know purdue does not offer any merit based aid to international students. They say you can apply for scholarships in your department but i guess that is very rare. I haven’t come across any.
I had sent my 12th mid term transcripts when I had applied and I had applied during regular admissions. They need your final transcripts only when they are available.
Yeah, I thought so.
Meh, can’t say I’m disappointed, thanks for your help though.
@feroz007 thanks for the info could you chance me please. my stats are in the comments above^
@feroz007 I will be applying this year…should I take help from groups like Princeton review to edit my essays and app?i don’t think I should but I just want an opinion from someone who has already gone through the process…
@Heisenberg98 I don’t think that is needed. I had taken my English teacher’s help in editing my essays. Btw Breaking Bad is my favorite show, Heisenberg.
@feroz007 thanks a lot!
And, james bond is my favorite movie:).
