Just adding our stats.
Son was Deferred for Computer Science. 3.7 UW, 4.1 W 1530 SAT, from a rigorous high school, lots of AP and honors courses, two college classes. Eagle Scout, CS Tutor, Lots of Extracurriculars and volunteering.
Penn State has a regional feeder system to Main campus. Pitt Bradford may be an entry point for Pitt transfer to engineering

Purdue yield protects as a top engineering program. Many high-stat kids whose apps have a safety school vibe will get denied. They also tout honoring that land grant mission of finding the potential in the student from an under-resourced school who is intellectually promising without shiny stats or APs. Purdue has held tuition frozen only because it has deliberately emphasized East and West Coast recruting and full-pay OOS/international candidates with ever increasing incoming class sizes. Of course there are other students admitted and other factors, but these are some of the forces that leave heartbroken applicants who are absolutely Boilermaker material.

DS accepted into Exploratory Studies as his second-choice major. Any insight on possibility of CODO-ing into Polytechnic?
Does Purdue have generous financial aid to help the under-resourced applicants they prefer to admit? If so they’re acting like a top need aware private university.
Got accepted into my second choice major, Data Science, yesterday! Just wanted to add my stats to the pool:
1460 SAT
3.91 GPA
Mostly volunteering for extracurriculars, few school-related extracurriculars besides clubs
First choice CS
Played rec. basketball through 9-11th
10 AP classes
OOS
Unranked

My D23 got into to CS but there is no mention of honor college in her admission letter. Is that final or is there any chance that she can still get admitted to HC in the next few weeks?
That should be very doable as long as it isn’t pro flight.

Notifications went out with acceptances this year. Students can apply for HC after freshman year though.

From what I understand, alternate campuses at Purdue are very small and not affiliated with main school and no more prestigious than any state school. Especially for OOS applicants, it doesn’t make sense at all to go to alternate small campuses. It seems harder to transfer also.
It’s only worth it if you are in-state and live close by and want Purdue degree at any cost.

Sent u a pm. More appropriate place. Keep the faith. There’s a great spot out there for your student - Purdue or otherwise.

Exploratory Studies is highly structured and your student can definitely work with an advisor to pursue Polytechnic programs. If Purdue is your first choice this is an excellent way to start.
Agreed and we would not pick one of those campuses based upon other offers for admission we already have. I was just curious to know if it is their standard to offer regional campuses with the denial, or not.

I agree with what the others have said. I have been on one of those alternative campuses many times, and know people that teach there. He would get a good education at either one, but I don’t think it’s the experience that would be best for an international student. If he has other direct acceptances to other colleges, I would take one of those.
D received rejection to Aero-engineering 1st choice and Planetary Science 2nd choice, offered other campuses (not interested) In state (HIGH regarded private high school), 3.9 GPA, 7 APs (5 more this year), EC’s are nice, Black student union, astronomy club founder etc… we are truly considering exploratory studies to assist getting into the main campus with CODO possibility later. She was completely devastated yesterday due to all of her research, she had 98% chance of admission based on stats… We are praying there’s an alternative way to get her into her dream school. Any support/advice is welcomed!
DD accepted, OOS Data science, many APs and strong extra curriculars related to data.
