Same for my kiddo.
This is exciting. My son got his second choice- Purdue Poly, Mechanical Engineering Technology.
We had consciously made that his second choice after hearing from the admissions coordinator that they have access to the same internships, co-ops, etc. opportunities as the college of engineering kids and because he is a very hands on learner.
However it would be good to have more information. If anyone has any more information specifically regarding how good the program is, faculty or any info about Poly at all I would greatly appreciate it! TIA

No merit here it looks like, but wasnât expecting any based on what we know about Purdue and OOS, also sadly I think other than Miami, OH which gave full merit, I think Purdue is the cheapest school my son applied to and is cheaper and/or in line with our flagship state university so not too bad and if this is where he ends, their tuition appears to be locked and it would be nice because finally I have a kid that would be within driving distance, no plane ride and my husband would be happy because he thinks Fair Oaks Dairy on the drive there in Rensselaer has the best grilled cheese sandwich ever. SMH! Guess for some it is going to be Boiler Up!

Is that at Purdue Poly as opposed to College of Engineering?
My sonâs first choice was Mechanical Engineering and second choice Mech Engineering Technology. He was accepted into his second.
Iâd love to hear other thoughts on Purdue Poly.
My DS was accepted to CS, OOS, UWGPA 4.0, ACT 34, 17 AP.
