<p>Purdue announced the Beering Scholars in July last year, [Purdue</a> Newsroom - 6 Purdue students receive full ride with option to attend graduate school](<a href=“http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/students/2010/100715BrownScholars.html]Purdue”>6 Purdue students receive full ride with option to attend graduate school) Interesting that they were all engineering majors!</p>
<p>I’m surprised that they were all engineering majors, but I would expect a lot of them to be engineering majors. The engineering school is more highly ranked that the university as a whole, and therefore is able to attract more “elite” applicants. (I don’t know about the rankings of other schools within the University - e.g., Krannert.)</p>
<p>are this year’s beerings announced yet?</p>
