hi i am a senior. i applied to purdue, and i just got an email says that my decision has been updated. i checked it says denied/program competitiveness. what does that mean? i know it means there is too many people in that particular program, but does that say i got denied, i got in to waitlist, or just i have to change my major?

You are posting in the prep school forum. You will not find the answer you need here… Post this over on the college admissions forum. Good luck!
"Denied/Program Competitiveness: Applicant has been denied because demand for the major far exceeds its capacity. "
@cameo43 This isn’t the prep school forum lol
@akshat97 Here
You can ask for reconsideration. Here is the link, check the reconsideration box and follow the directions. I would call and ask where your application was weak to see if you can change anything before reconsideration because they will ask you that question in the essay areas. They want to see considerable changes:
