Edit: Sorry - I see you son got into the Honors Program. So strange that he didnāt get merit with such strong stats! SMH
The majority of the honors women went to the Windsor Dorms. My Dās building was entirely honors. Not sure about the guys but I think they stuck together as well.

Whatās everyoneās thoughts/impressions/knowledge about Polytechnic? Son did not get first choice FYE and now weighing options. TIA.
No scholarship, just honors 
Similar stats to your son.
Depends on what he wants to do for his career path. Iād encourage anyone who didnāt get their first choice to do a deep dive on the 4 year plan of study for their second choice, look at the career outcomes, and what type of companies/positions new grads are going into.
Iām hearing of lots of good job offers on my Purdue parent FB group for polytechnic grads but they arenāt the same types of jobs that graduating engineers are offered.
Speaking of FB, Iād encourage all parents of accepted students to join the FB group. There should be one for parents and a different one for students. Admissions will run it until May and there will be great information posted there from everything from housing, to webinars with the deans, to information about course registration. After May, parent volunteers will take over the group.

For posterity sake, DS rejected with 1330 SAT and 3.8 WGPA (OOS). Eagle Scout, four year athlete. FYE first choice and Game Design Polytechnic was second choice. They suggested that there are many other ways to still be a Boilermaker by joining us in one of our other campuses, presumably PFW, IUPUI and Purdue Northwest.
Thatās tough. I initially thought there was a high probability of admit for students who had 3.9+ GPA as well as 1500+ SAT. I know not everyone who exceeds these thresholds will get in but itās clear the #s are not the be all and end all looking at the quality of applicants being deferred or rejected.
Thanks for your info!
can you pls share the name of the FB grp for accepted students.
I donāt know if itās up and running yet but it should be something like āPurdue parent and guardians of the class of 2026.ā
Iāll post a link if I see it!
