Son is so disappointed. Deferred from College of Engineering. OOS. 36 ACT, over 4.0 weighted average, leadership, extra curricular, Eagle Scout, work experience, visited the campus, tutoring, several AP (4,5 scores), etc.

@academiccomp DS (IS) deferred for CS too. I think we should have remained SAT optional. Sent our 1420 at the last moment 
My son was deferred for his first choice major. The letter says that if they are not able to admit him to his first choice by Mar 31, they would automatically consider him for his second choice major. Is this normal? I would have thought they would have provided an answer for both choices with this decision.
My DS got in. CS major!

Yes, it sounds like from other posters that merit and honors notifications went out with the acceptances this cycle.
Deferred Purdue CS.
Honestly am not the strongest applicant but was delusional enough to think I would get in. Decent ECs, but a lower SAT Math score and a weaker awards section than the rest of my competitive school.
For anyone wondering: Purdue likes to consider CS deferrals for the second campus, or your second major. There are rare instances that a deferred person gets into CS the 2nd round but usually Purdue considers you for one of the two options.
Our son also got deferred, from Business. Such a bummer
I don’t know if it is normal, but it is the exact same thing we just received. Such a bummer to have to wait now on both majors.
There was a poster upthread that said they were accepted to their second choice major. A little confused as to the variation in the types of responses as to the second choice major.

Deferred too. Same message.
@isomer06 Congratulations! Can you please share your stats too here.
I was test optional so I am shocked I didn’t get rejected. Either way, I’m going to try my best to get accepted later
Anyone admitted to Construction Management Technology?

My son was accepted OOS to Data Science (his first choice) and the honors college. No merit aid. 34 ACT, top 2% of average public high school. 13 APs (6 of those in progress). Pretty good ECs but nothing really related to the major. He was excited. He’ll definitely visit, which he hasn’t done yet. He’s only applied to two in-state and two out-of-state schools, so it’s especially nice for him to have this acceptance!
I’m sorry to those who received disappointing news. We’ve been there before and it feels rotten, but I hope other good paths will open up to you (or your kids).

Son was deferred/considered for 2nd major, but only wanted FYE. 4.6 GPA, IB Diploma, ranked #3/450, 1450 SAT submitted but probably not in range for FYE. Doesn’t bode well for his other apps.
We got the same email. I wonder how hard it will be to be successfully reconsidered as a deferral candidate considering overall gpa stats inched higher, strong senior year rigor was kept up and improved?
