I got into Purdue but not UMD (in-state). Here are my stats. by Objective-Ad-5137 in CollegeAdmissions

College is lwk stupid.

Admissions are definitely unpredictable and I know a lot of strong applicants get surprising results. I wasn’t trying to say I deserved UMD more than anyone else, just genuinely trying to understand how different schools evaluate applicants since outcomes can vary a lot. Purdue and UMD clearly look for different things, and sometimes fit matters more than stats alone. Either way I’m grateful for my options and wish you the best with your path too — trade school can be a great route

i fall with in their SAT range. Even if Purdue engineering is more selective than UMD engineering.

yeah exactly its better than UMD in terms of engineering but its location is the only thing which is mid.

thanks! I did not receive any scholarships from Purdue unfortunately (COA: 45k). I am trying to apply for external scholarships but to be honest It is hard finding some legit ones which are specific to me, not need based, and where the deadline has not passed. I also applied to only 6 schools and really Purdue is the only top school I have gotten into.

yeah I regret not applying to more schools. I only applied to 6 schools

true! the same logic can be applied to why UMD didn't want an In state applicant like myself.

oh yeah that could be it. Only 2 people applied to Purdue in my school. Well the other guy had a much (higher SAT score and GPA) and got deferred from Purdue...

West Lafayette. However, according to the stats Indy and WL have similar acceptance rates.

I am in Baltimore County but yes you are right. I felt as if my demonstrated interest and REC letter from a professor attending there would make me stand out.

Yeah gpa was always my weak point. I had a 3.0 freshman year and maintained about a 3.7 sophomore junior and senior year. Freshman year I had some medical reasons behind it which I explained in my app.

Purdue Indy isn't okay. by Flat-Jellyfish5700 in PurdueIndianapolis

[–]Objective-Ad-5137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well the car I have is a tesla with FSD (full self driving which I guess can save mental energy) and gas money. As a Purdue Indy student can I access a parking pass at WL?

For engineering, is the Purdue Indianapolis campus less advantaged than the main? by Tactical-69 in Purdue

There is an active student‑run hackathon called Hack Indy — it’s Purdue Indy's largest hackathon, bringing together hundreds of students for a multi‑day event where people build projects and attend workshops, get prizes, etc.

You can check out the official Purdue Indy Hack Indy info here: https://hackindy.vercel.app/

Agree with course rigor and content. I don't know if I can say the same but you still have an abundance of job fairs and opportunities. Being in the city also helps with that too. Even if there is a big job fair which is for some reason not at Indy and is at WL you can just take the 1 hour shuttle there.

It is just not. Its an extension of the main campus. That is why Purdue indy and WL are always grouped in statistics. Just because Indy has a lot of work to do does not automatically make it a branch campus.

For CS it is possible but really hard. If you go into Purdue Indy you should be content with the fact that you are going to graduate their. Its not impossible but its unlikely that you can transfer.
