The website cites 2024 data. But if you look at the FAQ they cite 34%. https://www.purdue.edu/futureengineers/common-questions/ What to believe? I stick with the document handed to me on admitted students day. |
NC State actually might be harder than the numbers indicate (unless you have specific OOS numbers) because of the cap on OOS students. I'm not sure it's an admit especially for engineering. |
Cool. But, I'm going by the official website published by the University. Going back to the OP. It is within the OP's kids likely target zone and they should apply if they are interested in spending four years at West Lafayette, Indiana. |
Which website? The one that states 46% or 34%? |
You pick. Either way still a target for OP's kid. |
1. Why Hell no Ohio State? (don't know that much about it so honestly asking) 2. Is a Villanova or Notre Dame engineering grad at a disadvantage career-wise? Again, DS isn't looking for an MIT-like intense environment. |
It was probably a Michigan alum giving the opinion on Ohio State. Notre Dame and Villanova will both get the job done. They are small programs, which might be what your son wants. I can't imagine paying private school tuition for an engineering degree from Villanova, but if it's the best fit for your son and you can afford it, then it would get the job done. |
DP. VT has seven colleges - only one of them is Engineering. It is very much a traditional university with a thriving liberal arts college, among others. |
