[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only 41 percent of Purdue's undergrads are from in state.  Its undergraduate engineering school is its most popular.  It stands to reason that the majority of the students in those programs are from OOS as well.  So the posters who dismiss the actual numbers provided by the school as distorted by in state numbers are exaggerating.  [/quote]

They absolutely are. Purdue is a fine school but let's not get carried away.[/quote]

This wasn’t the experience for DS’s class (2023). None of his peers were accepted and they had math scores well over 700. They were all rejected. DS had a 750 and was admitted, but he’s a minority. This was at a well respected FCPS. Do you know anyone with a 700 math score that was accepted? It’s a top 10 engineering program. [/quote]

I have a sophomore engineering student at Purdue. My observation is that Purdue is relatively accessible for first-year engineering admission, especially considering the school's strong engineering ranking and reputation.

For others considering Purdue engineering based on my child's experience: this program is not for the faint of heart. If you thrive in a grind it out culture and don't need much hand-holding, you'll likely do well. Classes can be massive, some with 700+ students, and the coursework is extremely challenging. While the school provides ample resources for  success, you must be proactive about using them. The faculty won't hesitate to fail students who aren't getting it done. There is a culture of shared misery, but the students are supportive and friendly. [/quote]
