I was accepted to the College of Science at Purdue. I got rejected from UC Davis and UC San Diego so far… I’m really hoping I get Irvine or SB, though.
Purdue has great name recognition and is a fine school but, is expensive for OOS and is in Indiana… The weather and culture differences are vast. You will love that or, hate it. The US News rankings place it below UCSB and UCI but above UCSC.
Tour the school and see what you think.
Good luck.
