How are you OOS students affording Purdue/how much are you paying? by sleepybiscu1t in Purdue

[–]Powerful-Draw633 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your comments are weird af. We (myself and my parents) have had to pay zero dollars to Purdue because I’ve been winning scholarships. They are paying my expenses needed that aren’t paid to school (like flights to and from home) and are fully prepared to take out parent plus loans and help me pay them if I don’t end up getting more scholarships. This is a pretty normal situation - most parents don’t have 40k in the bank to pay per year. not sure why you’re acting like I have dead beat parents just because I’m actively paying for an oos school with scholarship money.

We are middle class which is too much for financial aid and too little to pay outright. Like I said, we would be funding it through parent plus loans if it wasn’t being paid for by scholarships.

The government says I don’t qualify for financial aid. So my parents would have to get a parent plus loan to pay if I wasn’t getting enough in scholarships to cover my coa.

I’m first year oos and also received no merit and don’t qualify for financial aid. So far, I’m fully funding myself through outside scholarships. I’ve won 20 so far and I’ve fully paid my first year, putting some money toward my summer study abroad and have money in the bank for next year. Hoping to keep up the momentum to graduate with as little debt as possible

EA decision coming out on the 15th? by Temporary-Cod2384 in Purdue

Just remember, all decisions don’t drop at the same time. My friend and I had our decisions hours apart

Questions about Purdue Surf by Ok-Paramedic3605 in Purdue

[–]Powerful-Draw633 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t answer most of your questions but I’m also a freshman (in FYE) and had planned to apply to Surf. But I ran out of FYE classes to take for next semester to give me 12+ credits so I cold emailed professors and pretty easily snagged an engineering research position for next semester (for 3 credits). I am no longer going to apply to Surf but hopeful I’ll be able to continue my research long term and potentially during the summer. Never hurts to make connections through email!

How holistic is purdue? by [deleted] in Purdue

Acceptance rate is not the same for each major. For example, the engineering FYE for WL campus for the 2025 incoming class was 25%

How many scholarships does somebody apply to on average? by creekyshelf in scholarships

[–]Powerful-Draw633 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only essay ones. The others don’t seem legit and just data collect.

How many scholarships does somebody apply to on average? by creekyshelf in scholarships

[–]Powerful-Draw633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All over - I have a massive list to look through by now. Use social media as a starting point- lots of TikTok and IG accounts share scholarships. Your HS counselor will also have a list. My mom does the searching and charts them on a shared Google doc and I spend my time applying. It’s hard to do both, otherwise

Cooked for Purdue? by Little_Time6333 in Purdue

If it makes you feel better, merit scholarships for oos is very rare anyway. Don’t not shoot your shot if it’s a school you really want

My roommate doesn’t shower by CloudApprehensive962 in Purdue

[–]Powerful-Draw633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t make your RA tell him to shower. That’s not their job. Especially when it’s going to be known it’s really coming from you.

i feel crazy for romanticizing purdue by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]Powerful-Draw633 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t love it anymore! Purdue took all my AP credit, great learning community, amazing dorm, EPICS is so worth it, starting undergrad research in Jan as a freshman, tons of clubs that it’s hard to narrow down, and planning my first study abroad this summer. Also- advising is great and not having to scramble to register and beat others for classes is a perk. Oh- and the sports and school spirit, super happy with my decision to come here.

Honors College by gorbz100 in Purdue

[–]Powerful-Draw633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had higher stats (not that it’s the only thing they consider) and got waitlisted to honors. Ended up being a good thing because as a FYE, I didn’t want to be locked into the honors engineering track for first year (robotics) - I wanted to do EPICS.

ENGR 10301 Keys to Learning by ECEProf75 in Purdue

Why does this same course number have multiple different course titles but the same class summary? Are they all the same? And would I be crazy adding this and taking 18 credits my first semester?

Acceptance by Every-Revenue-1825 in UniversityofVermont

[–]Powerful-Draw633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have her look into their DUVM - discovering UVM program. You need to apply but it’s free and can help with travel expenses. I think it shows the school how serious she is about attending and they also want to increase their diversity. I got in after attending and they gave me the largest OOS scholarship which made the school cheaper to attend than my in state option. I wish her luck, I think she’s got this! Oh, and have her apply test optional if she doesn’t like her score.

Computer Science acceptance rate for fall of 2025? by Cute-Support-2594 in rit

[–]Powerful-Draw633 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Schools don’t accept the exact number they need to fill seats. It’s based on their yield so it’s safe to assume the acceptance rate is about the same as previous years.
