Purdue Class of 2015 Fall Decisions

<p>Accepted to Health and Human Sciences as a Dietetics major. Anyone else?</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted
College of Agriculture: Agribusiness </p>

<p>Stats:
SAT: 2060
SAT2: Math 1- 700 Bio M-720
ACT: N/A
GPA: 2.9 UW
Rank: Unranked
Others: 6 AP, all Honors</p>

<p>Subjective:
Essays: Mediocre, generic, cliche

Hook: Insane (trololo) music talents</p>

<p>Location:
State: PA
School: Private Prep School (ridiculously competitive)
Ethnicity: AZN (yes I know I have very unimpressive very AZN stats)
Gender: Male</p>

<p>General Comments: Mediocre in everything… I thought I wouldn’t get accepted because I spent virtually no time on the apps. 40 mins TOPS essay+data. Well I guess I’m happy since I got in. Waiting for other schools.</p>

<p>Other factors: With affirmative action and other stuff going against me, I think my parents being able to pay for the full tuition weighs a huge factor in my dull and mediocre application. Thank God I come from a well to do family.</p>
