If she's OK with the smell of raw chicken, she can probably get a job at one of their plants.

My son had a few mediocre grades in grade 9 but slowly picked his grades up and was very strong in grade 11 and early 12 and is 1 month into his 1st yr now, studying engineering. Good luck!


you don't need a 750 plus math SAT to get into Purdue. C'mon.


Like most large public universities, Purdue admits by major, so required test scores and GPAs vary significantly. While I agree that a 750 math score isn't strictly required for any program, a 750+ would be beneficial for engineering and CS, as these are among Purdue's most competitive majors. Provide more details if you want a more specific answer.

Unless she wants to go to chicken school . . .


Maybe that's what's holding them back - people think the school is run by the chicken people? I always thought it was a public option to the ND experience but ranking is way of. Should be closer like Berkeley and Stanford.

Well, her mom went to Stamford so I'm confident that she knows how to spell Perdue.

High school diploma should be sufficient, and even that may not be required.
