[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't Purdue a top5 program in the US?

I get that it's a hard admit but I would expect this, no?[/quote]

No. Purdue is not top 5 overall. It is a great Engineering public but MIT CMU stanford , Princeton Penn Cornell Columbia even less techy H and Y now have  engineering programs that are better, as do Hopkins Northwestern Duke a handful of publics.. Purdue accepts kids from TJ and top stem magnets who are a couple of notches below the kids who get into the above true top schools, on naviance. Purdue kids are above the VT engineering matriculants. [/quote]

It's ranked 8 overall for engineering but much higher in certain fields of engineering such as aerospace. https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/AboutUs/FactsFigures/Rankings[/quote]

Purdue is the 8th best engineering undergraduate university in the country. It has been a difficult admit for over a decade. Many of the schools listed above are stronger overall as a university and have more difficult admissions. They are not better at engineering. They do not think they are better at engineering. The engineering rankings are largely based on peer assessments from other schools. [/quote]
