***Purdue University: Class of 2023 Discussion/Decision Thread***

Accepted OOS to Engineering! I have a 1360 SAT and 3.7ish UW GPA (my school doesn’t calculate GPA’s or ranking). I am taking/have taken two engineering classes, advanced physics, calc AB and BC, linear algebra, biomedical research class, and teachers assistant for 9th grade math. For extracurriculars, I am doing a Johns Hopkins University biochemistry internship, co-leading Model UN, Project Managing my school FRC robotics team, and tutoring math to younger kids. I really really hope there will be financial aid. This is one of my top schools!

Does anyone know if I got denied Can I change my major will they reconsider it?

Did anyone make it into Data Science Undergrad program? Would like to know the stats of who got accepted into data science

What is Summer Start? D got accepted into Summer Start. ??? Is it required? Does that mean she’s accepted into Fall program? So confused.

@TytoAlba Same here. DS letter said Deferred from his second choice major (in Polytechnic) but nothing about the first choice. We did the same thing- looked back at his Common App.

@DocJake your credentials are impressive. I am surprised and sorry you did not get in. I have heard some univs do not accept students when their stats are way over their averages because of the fear that you might not join and their yield will go down. Not sure about Purdue.

Daughter accepted into first choice program!

@DocJake, your credentials of 4.11 w gpa, 36 ACT is impressive and still got rejected,

They must be looking at something else. Good luck with your search.
