<p>General Comments: Lots of ECs, Eagle Scout, NHS, German HS, soccer, track cross country letterman, XC Co Captian, String Ensemble, WCCC Chamber Orchestra + more… Nice to be accepted but since OOO and the college is so $$$, will very likely not go there - I have other just as good schools that I am narrowing my decision down to and that are offering enough $$ to make it affordable.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got in. Seems like a majority of people on this thread got in for some sort of engineering. Just curious, is it easier to get into Purdue as a poly sci or maybe communications major? I’m currently a junior, and I am considering Purdue. I’d like to major in either poly sci or communications</p>

<p>Liberals Arts isn’t that hard to get into octatron. However, a lot of people seem to study in Pol. Sci. from what I hear.</p>

<p>Accepted! Dont feel like going though all the trouble of posting my stats though…</p>
