Yes I just checked their website–I guess he didn’t get one of those at this point but maybe something will come later–he did apply by 11/1. Thanks!
what were your ECs
Wow that is crazy…
My son was accepted to First Year Engineering in the College of Engineering
OOS
GPA 4.67 weighted
SAT 1460 (no essay)
Rigorous courseload - all AP and Honors classes; lots of volunteer work; employed since age 15.
Its my understanding that Purdue doesn’t award merit $ to OOS applicants, not sure if that’s true. His acceptance letter referenced “financial aid” info going out in mid-February.

Those who applied by 11/1 (EA deadline) were automatically considered for university-wide merit scholarships. There was also a supplemental scholarship app due 12/15 that our kid forgot about despite my constant reminders as she juggled 6 applications. They were for specific colleges and as a nursing major, she should have done the one for the college of health and human sciences. They listed the colleges included for this as: Education, H&HS, Management and Polytechnic Institute.
The FAFSA is for need based aid. We don’t qualify for a penny, unfortunately. And was really hoping for some merit aid.
S21 accepted into exploratory studies/unspecified major, 3.97 UWGPA, 4.25 WGPA, 4 APs (three 5s and one 4) with 2 more AP in the senior year, 1540 SAT (one sitting), 1560 superscore, 800 MATH2, NMSF, varsity soccer, paid job for 2 years, OOS (CA), WITH Presidential Scholarship 10K. This is our first acceptance and so very happy

If you apply for 2 majors, do they only consider your second choice after you are rejected for your first choice? Let’s say you are deferred for your first choice, do they then only consider your second choice if you get rejected during the regular round of decisions?
how were you deferred? That makes no sense

Honestly have absolutely no idea how I got in. I was 100% sure I wouldn’t make it and was genuinely shocked that I got in, especially with my GPA
