Just asking about merit scholarships, not need-based… I’m not sure how competitive it is, but do I have pretty good chances of getting the trustees or presidential scholarship? Also do I even have a shot at being invited for stamps scholars?
Planning on mechanical engineering
Stats: 4.55/4 GPA
34 ACT
9 APs
Pretty good EC’s
My stats were pretty similar to yours, and I’d say you have a good shot. But, I have seen people with a lower GPA and test scores receive the Trustees scholarship, and I have also seen students with 4.0s and 35+ ACTs who have received nothing. There’s quite a lot of luck involved, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t receive anything. Good luck!
@liwen6 thanks!
@liwen6 --wait, are you saying you have already received notification of a merit scholarship from Purdue?
@carachel2 I’m guessing @liwen6 is a current or former student
@d012939 --that’s what I thought so too but it appears the poster is a current applicant.

Just got in FYE! Applied 2 days before the Nov. deadline, so I’m pretty happy.
Stats:
GPA: 3.85/4.0
SAT: 1550/1600
Anybody know when the scholarships are released?
@carachel2 I applied then too, so hopefully I’ll hear back soon!
Got accepted, but my bro is a current student. Sorry for the confusion
