<p>if anyone knows ANYTHING about Purdue...anything at all! please post!</p>
<p>dont go there</p>
<p>-current junior at purdue</p>
<p>are you serious dtshen?!?!?</p>
<p>unless you are going for engineering, go to IU instead.</p>
<p>yes i am serious</p>
<p>dtshen -- what are you majoring in? what are you unhappy about? it would be really helpful if you could elaborate for us.</p>
<p>and is business good in purdue?</p>
<p>can you please tell us what it is that you don't like about Purdue? I have a friend that goes there and he loves it!</p>
<p>jayeez: IU has a considerable edge over Purdue in business</p>
<p>Purdue's Class of 2008 profile:</p>
<p>80% acceptance rate
28% out-of-state freshmen</p>
<p>70% with SAT-v below 500-599
58% with SAT-m below 500-599</p>
<p>Is it really that easy to get admitted to Purdue? I know that engineering, business and aviation are competitive. But how about arts & sciences? for out-of-state applicants?</p>
<p>Indiana University Class of 2008 profile:</p>
<p>83% acceptance rate
35% out-of-state freshman</p>
<p>72% with SAT-v below 500-599
65% with SAT-m below 500-599</p>
<p>I'd agree IU is better... beautiful campus, great business school and music school.</p>
<p>IU isnt better academically but is much better socially and its business program doesnt have an edge in management or finance.</p>
<p>Really? Kelly is ranked #7 in both management and finance (undergrad). I thought Krannert's strength is in the quantitative areas, like operations management?</p>
<p>kranert is also ranked in the top 10 in management and finance... im not sure the exact number but number 7 vs. any other number in top 10 is not an edge IMO</p>
<p>well, I've applied to purdue anyway..so cant bother applying to IU now!</p>
<p>Just got back to the office and checked my copy of US News...</p>
<p>Krannert is ranked 18th in Finance and 23rd in Management ... 3rd in Operations Management, 4th in Quantitative Analysis and 7th in Supply Chain/Logistics. It also has a top rated Hospitality Management.</p>
<p>Looks like the old memory still serves me well...</p>
<p>Jayeez,
Unless you are into engineering, you may wanna consider IU as well. The IU application is quite simple to do ... takes no more than a couple hours. </p>
<p>Like terrybhs says, the social environment is much better. Btw, Newsweek/Kaplan selected IU as one of the 25 Hot Schools this year <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8987172/site/newsweek/%5B/url%5D">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8987172/site/newsweek/</a></p>
<p>i was also thinking about applying to IU but the $55 app fee is kind of a deterent... and the hot schools list is a JOKE, im not saying the iu isnt better than purdue (i actually agree), but.... if your looking at midwest schools i suggest ohio univ.-athens, just as good if not better than iu socially and has some great programs (although rankings dont do them justice) and if your a top student then there honors program is top notch</p>
<p>Another IU advantage: Bloomington v. West Lafayette</p>
<p>yes west lafayette sucks they have one mall that is ok at most and thats basically it.... there are a few clubs near purdue and indy is only an hour away though</p>
<p>An hour to Indy may not sound like a big deal, but it will be once you're a student there. Schools located in a cool college town have a big advantage. You're not going to want to take a road trip every time you're looking for some action. After going to school in Ann Arbor, West Lafayette looked downright depressing.</p>
