OOS Mech Eng
1550, NMF
98/100 (4.0) unweighted
Good but not fantastic extracurriculars and leadership and most ECs non engineering (Model UN, Academic Challenge, Temple Youth Group, Theater/Tech - deep involvement and leadership; Tennis, Music - not deep involvement)
7 APs, more honors (only can start AP in 11th grade, though he took Macro in 10th on his own).
Interested, but had convinced himself to choose Purdue (admitted to FYE/Honors) as we waited for this! We’ll see.

Waitlisted for CS OOS. Does anyone know past waitlist statistics?

How many such CS+* options do they have? Hard to figure what is the outcome for these majors.

Denied OOS for CS
4.5W GPA (12/450)
1530 (730R, 800M)

Kind of surprised I didn’t get in even with perfect SAT math, but I probably wasn’t going here anyway

In-state D22 denied CS+Astronomy, waitlisted for DGS. It’s what we expected, though. Still a little bitter that a student in the top 10% of the state can’t go to her own flagship school.

How do you find out about honors??

My son now says he has a tough decision. He also got in Purdue FYE… We shall see.
