Son admitted to engineering and to the Honors College. ACT 34, top 10 student in his class, 11 APs, 4.0 UW GPA. Georgia resident so likely headed to Georgia Tech although waiting for a few more decisions.
No merit in his decision letter.
Congratulations to all who got in!
Not sure if your comment was meant for me but I’m shocked too. It was one of his top schools.
My son didn’t got into CS first choice. He got deferred to 2nd choice major which Computer and Information Technology, in the Polytechnic Institute. We are OOS.
For what it’s worth, I’m shocked too. I’m sorry!
Daughter accepted to Biomedical health! OOS and both parents alum 
Son got selected to Exploratory track. OOS. 10K Merit Aid
We are surprised for merit aid. Did not expected that. Now Purdue is serious contender for us.
1480 SAT 4.0 GPA Decent ECs. 7 APs (3 as senior) - with 4s or 5s.
Anyone admitted to Robotics Engineering Technology?
Son deferred for CS. He didn’t have a second choice major.
When do honors college decisions come out? Do they say it in the admission letter or do you wait till feburary?
A number of posters reported getting notifications for honors and merit with their admissions decisions. This is a change from how it used to be.
Need based financial aid will be released later.
Thank you. He’s devastated.
Thank you.
Honors were in the admission letters.
DD got in CS. She didn’t apply second choice. OOS.
What in the world? It honestly doesn’t make sense. Did he have some sort of discipline issue in HS?
Son didn’t get CE (first choice) and deferred for Data Science(2nd choice). OOS,4.0UW, lots of APs(all 5),1560 SAT, good ECs, decent essays. Very disappointed.
Accepted to Data Science (first choice) for OOS, 3.7 UW GPA, 1430 SAT, strong extracurricular profile (related to major). Stoked for this acceptance!
Son go his acceptance today. GT/Honors Student. 3.8 GPA. 3 APs so far (two 5s and one 4), with two more to go. Lots of ECs, including working full time. Econ major, Krannert SOM. 1K in Merit aid. Kind of small, but, due to the low OOS cost, still may be a good deal. Will have to see the total cost. He has received some pretty good scholarships thus far everywhere he has been accepted, both public and private. However, Purdue is the best school he has gotten into thus far.
I will say, we attended a recruiting open house in Atlanta a few months back, and the Admissions rep said that the acceptance rate for non Engineering/CS majors was like 85 percent, but for Engineering/CS it was like 35 percent. My son actually changed his major after hearing that.
Doesn’t seem right. Yield protection may be, so don’t be disappointed, stay strong!
I know someone with similar stats, OOS, got rejected FYE, got in second major.
No discipline issue. We were hoping for an acceptance with a little merit and there was a good chance his college search was over. But life isn’t fair and hopefully he will be accepted to another top school.
