Applying for CS major.
Does Purdue considers expanded resume if I submit/upload one?

I don’t believe that Purdue considers material outside of what is requested on the common app and the Purdue specific essays.

You should be able to include the information on your resume within the structure of the common app.

On Purdue App portal, it allows you to upload two things: (1) High school courses (2) Other Supporting Materials

I thought (2) means you could upload things like medical doc, expanded resume etc. which are not possible within the framework of CommonApp.

Go for it then. The worst that happens is it isn’t considered. I’d just make sure that you have the pertinent information on the common app.

Is there anyway to know from student portal if Purdue received my FAFSA?

8

I don’t see one, no.

The FAFSA site said it was delivered, iirc, and I wasn’t concerned after that.

Did any one receive the Happy Thanksgiving from Purdue email saying " This holiday season we are so thankful for you and the opportunity to get to know you through your application to Purdue University. "
Ever grateful, ever true,

Yes. It doesn’t mean anything, I don’t think.

We keep getting Purdue emails pretty often. Though it doesn’t mean anything, it’s a nice gesture though.

Agree with Advitha. These emails mean that Purdue has your email in their database as an applicant and is sent to everyone. But, it is still a nice gesture.
The public colleges in CA don’t bother with sending such emails

My son got a Happy “Boiler Birthday” text yesterday. Hoping that’s more than just a nice gesture. Would seem pretty cruel if it wasn’t! Ha. We’ll see soon enough :slight_smile:

If it was his birthday, I wouldn’t expect it to mean more than “Happy Birthday”. Seems strange to me that “Happy Birthday” would be considered “pretty cruel”.

Was a nice gesture from the university. They cared to program a birthday wishing logic into their software.

My S22 is waiting on Purdue as well. Heard some rumors that EA apps may be up >20%. Feel like Purdue might be harder than usual this year.

I heard rumors as such for many colleges. Most have seen upwards of 20% increase in EA applications. Will be very hard this year.
All the best to all and Happy Friday!
