<p>I feel like the deadline was probably November 15th but you should call to double check.</p>

3

<p>You can still apply. March 1st is listed as the priority deadline for Fall applicants.</p>

4

<p>Yeah, you have until March 1st like Zenoa said. November 15th was the deadline for scholarship consideration, though.</p>

5

<p>March 1 sounds like a regular decision deadline. Hasn’t the priority deadline passed, seeing as decisions are already out?</p>

<p>They are asking about the engineering honors program. And the website says this:</p>

<p>“Scholarships and University Honors Program
…
Students who complete an admission application by November 15 (application and all required material) will be considered for the invitation-only University-wide Honors Program.”</p>

<p>I would assume this goes for the engineering honors program or any other honors program as well. I’d still call to double check though.</p>

<p>so how much money am I missing out on? lol (out of state)</p>

<p><a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board;
$26,622 + $9,120 + $1,050 + $1,690 + $280 = $38,762</p>

<p>would I still get financial aid?..</p>

8

<p>Not much, if any.</p>

9

<p>The deadline for financial aid is March 1st</p>

10

<p>Here’s some financial aid info about myself:</p>

<p>Residency: NJ
EFC: 0
Financial Aid: ~$8000 in Fed. grants. Don’t expect much money if you are OOS. If you are in-state then it’s a whole new story…</p>

<p>thanks guys. btw, does Engineering have a different acceptance rate for Purdue?</p>

12

<p>lower acceptance rates for engineering and pre pharm compared to other programs. not sure of the exact numbers though.</p>

13

<p>lower acceptance rates for Flight as well… there are a good # of programs that are very competitive other than engineering, pre pharm and Flight.</p>
