Purdue University Admissions?
I applied to Purdue University - West Lafayette on August 22, 2011. When Purdue released their first wave of admissions decisions on December 9, 2011, my decision read: Pending/Additional Information. I was asked to send in my 7th Semester Transcripts, and I did. I also sent in 3 letters of recommendation.
I am:
member of National Honors Society
class rank: 40/257 *unweighted grades
president of BPA (Business Professionals of America) (also state finalist in Prepared Speech there)
co-editor of our school’s nationally-ranked yearbook
a peer mentor (freshman tutor)
3.5 GPA (unweighted, honors student. 3 on AP Chemistry exam, currently in AP Calculus)
I have taken every single one of my schools AP or ACP classes
1830 SAT score
*semi-fluent in Spanish
single-handedly directed a race for charity and raised $1400

I contacted Purdue after receiving my admissions decision and they told me that their reason for asking for more information was my downward grade trend. Freshman year I had a 4.0, sophomore year it dropped to 3.8, junior year dropped to a 3.48 because I took AP Chemistry, AP US History, Pre-Calculus, etc. and received Bs in most of them. After the first trimester of my senior year, I received 3 As and 2 Bs. (The Bs were in AP Calculus and Economics) and now my unweighted GPA is 3.507.
P.S. I applied to their Liberal Arts school, my major is English Education

I have two questions:

1. Will I get in now?

2. Does anyone know when Purdue will reevaluate our admission and give us an answer?
