My son got rejected today from Purdue for mechanical engineering. He had a 1480 SAT (790 in math), 11 AP classes (AP Scholar w/Distinction) 4.63 weighted GPA, honor society, played varsity sports, did several engineering related extra curriculars including an intro to engineering class at a public university and was involved in our university’s EPICS and robotics programs. So for anyone who didn’t make it in, just know it was Purdue’s loss.
Got rejected with 33 ACT, 4.4 weighted GPA and 3.9 unweighted, as well as 8 APs (5s on everything except APUSH). My AP English teacher told me that the essays were pretty much perfect as well. I was so sure I am going to get in, I guess my life is over now huh. (Applied for Aerospace)
No! Your life is just beginning! Rejection hurts, but it's up to you whether you let it knock you down or whether you harness it to make you stronger. Choose the latter! And maybe add a couple more safety colleges that are still accepting applications to your list. Good luck.
I opened mine up not knowing this and got in! Got in to the honors college and got the presidential scholarship. Majoring in Mechanical engineering, but we go into a general engineering and decide later I guess. I had 22 APs (no scores reported), top of class with a 4.434 and 3.94 unweighted, 1510 superscore (790 math) kinda low compared to my practice tests as on my second attempt(not reported) there was a disruption for 15 minutes and the proctor essentially did nothing. I think reading stuff here, it is important to say how far the essays go, I for example spent months making them perfect for Purdue and highlighting different attributes. Definitely in this cycle I think that was probably the most important bit, like there are kids that are on paper better, but with the holistic thing essays are king.
Just confirming, but they tell you if you got a merit scholarship in your decisions letter right? Are there any other merit scholarship options besides the University-Wide scholarships? I got into FYE but I can’t afford to go and probably won’t get any money from their financial aid office. I’m out of state.
Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Got into Indianapolis campus Electrical Engineering. Did not realize that there was such a difference in the two campuses. Is this offer worth accepting?
Because not all of them who got admitted actually enroll. Since 50% got in and the total application was about 78k, only 11k/39k which is about 28% of accepted students enrolled

Interesting. I got accepted with a 1300 sat 6 ap classes and a 3.8 weighted lol, i had some decent ecs though thats all.
@ are you in state? We are out of state. Plus I know engineering has an even lower acceptance rate than the school overall.
@ I am not in state. and yes it's most likely just that school- but still pretty crazy. i'm going into prefinance

I mean it’s like the best in the nation for engineering dude. Best of luck with the rest.
Please make a video on what happened with the UT EA applicants today 🙏

I just got into the honors college as well. How would I see if I received any financial aid without paying to accept my offer?
Really awaiting this admission decision from Purdue University
Good luck & best wishes 👍👍
Thank you 🙏

Got deferred for CS

where did you find the data for early action mentioned at the beginning of the video?
I know people.
Can you please do a video on University of St Andrews in Scotland?
Could we expect Fall 2025 Grad admission decisions who applied before Dec 1st 2024
Thanks
Is it possible for regular decision student
It's early action. RD comes later
how is 11000 divided by 60000, 50% admit rate ?
Because not all of them who got admitted actually enroll.
Since 50% got in and the total application was about 78k, only 11k/39k which is about 28% of accepted students enrolled
