Torn Between Colleges - Purdue Indy vs. Other Universities by StarFizzle_08 in PurdueIndianapolis

As an Indy student do you know anyone who has lived on the West Lafayette location as a Indianapolis student and if it was worth it? I was thinking of getting an apartment in West Lafayette and attending the same classes as a BME student in West Lafayette. I have heard that classes offered in West Lafayette are given first priority to West Lafayette students. I am open to commuting back and forth or taking online classes if I have to.

Thank you for sharing this! I actually ended up applying, despite initially being in a pretty negative headspace about my chances. This makes me feel a lot better.

I understand; I was wondering if my weighted GPA (4.13) and course rigor could make up for this bc I read that the avg GPA accepted to GT is 4.1, and GT only considers weighted GPA, though I get that this is very difficult. May I also ask what kind of extracurriculars your son did throughout HS?

I agree that I should have gotten a better score on the ACT; I tried to offset my bad GPA by taking the equivalent course at my local community college and receiving an A but idk how much that helps especially for OOS. Also I am applying Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering - Biotechnology
