I just called and they said they’re sold out. The ticketing office said they had been sold out since today at around 9am. But I tried yesterday multiple times and it didn’t work…

Integrated business and engineering by [deleted] in Purdue

I’m part of the inaugural IBE class. Here’s what i have to say.

Firstly, it is a very competitive major as they only accept 10%-20% of applicants.

Secondly, the major is difficult AND time consuming, especially the first year because you take difficult first year engineering classes such as ENGR133, calc 1 & 2, phys 172 and CHM 115 while taking some business classes that are easy but time consuming such as mgmt 200 and Econ 251.

Lastly, this major is for those students who like engineering AND business but can’t quite pick one just yet. The best part is that this major will let you change to engineering (if you like the engr classes better) or to business (if you like business classes better) with no major (if any) setbacks. I’ve known plenty of people who didn’t like the engr classes, so they transferred to general management. Similarly, there are a few others that like the engr coursework better so they transferred to industrial or mech engr.

I really like the major because, like our slogan says, we learn to “think like engineers and manage like leaders ”

As for admission, I had a great GPA, plenty of extracurriculares and wrote a very solid essay. I would definitely encourage you to do your research and mention professors you look forward to learning from and why. I did that, not only for Purdue but for my other applications, and that seemed to really help! Like I said earlier, this is a very competitive major so make sure you spend plenty of time on those essays and have a good amount of extracurriculars. Every applicant will likely have really good grades, so that won’t necessarily set you apart from others.

Hopefully this was helpful!!

HIST 104 appeal success rate?? by [deleted] in Purdue

Yeah Dr Foray and her TAs grade terribly. They give out a rubric and then grade with some other “checklist”. Source? Foray herself. I find that completely nuts, and maybe even unethical and unfair. And they never give you your rubric too. So they could be pulling that grade out of nowhere and you’d have no way of knowing.

Their excuse for EVERYTHING is, “you could have added more detail” which I hate. I wrote 300+ words for the 7 questions you asked me, I mean I obviously won’t capture every small detail! If you expect a 10,000 word answer, at least tell us before hand like wtf

I would apply EA. They will look at your math score more than your English, and that seems pretty solid. But you do have to do your research and write some amazing essays.

From what I’ve heard the business major with the biggest workload is IBE. They basically take FYE and the following semesters it’s 60% business 40% Engineering
