Than you shouldn’t list OoS in your profile but put international when you ask people to chance you @xtreme22. Being international is quite different than applying as domestic. I suspect that a lot will depend on how many from your country apply to Purdue and what their profiles are like.
true @WilliamNYC a lot of intl admissions would depend on the how many from each school they would accept. Intl admissions have a different scale in sats and gpa, maybe a bit higher at ties but a lot also depends on the funding the UN can provide. its a # game all around…

@HoundstoothHarry: Look at where your statistics place you on the Data Digest: https://www.purdue.edu/datadigest/. That may give you a better idea of how you compare to other applicants in the past few applications cycles; and you can change the parameters of the relevant data pool to fit more closely your own.
@biogirle my top choice is most likely to UIUC computer engineering (got deferred), but I also applied/applying to Purdue, Virginia Tech, UVA engineering, and Boston College (Arts and Sciences). Haven’t gotten in anywhere except my safety (VCU)
I have have been looking over the Data Digest stats. If you are close to the upper 75th is it safe to assume that you will be accepted in FY Engineering?
@wizwind: I don’t know that it would be “safe to assume” anything about admissions decisions; but you may be justified in having a higher confidence level in your chances of admission. Of course, in last season’s Super Bowl, at one point in the second half the Atlanta Falcons were given a 98% chance of winning when they were up 25 points up on the New England Patriots; and we all know how that turned out.
Since Purdue used to do rolling admission, and just changed to set deadlines this year, do you think it will be harder to get into now. I feel like it might be, since they are now seeing the whole application pool, and not just as they come in. Crap… now I’m worried.
