Just curious. How do you know that?
Tho it is my theory it is backed up by my observation on cc and reddit. Not many people are talking about getting in for cs major. Until a few days back it was same for fye. But many fye applicants got their decisons on the same day together later. So cs wave is still left
Well I like your theory MUCH better! Thx

This line of reasoning makes sense to me, even though itâs not what Iâd like it to be.
Regarding @Abc6 your theory, my hypothesis: Purdue fills almost all of itâs CS admits via EA. They leave little to nothing for RD, which is why we only see a trickle here and there about CS admits post-EA. As we know, Reddit and CC is just a microcosm of the overall numbers.
Of course, if my line of thinking is on the right track, a better way for Purdue to take is to Waitlist all remaining CS applicants like how UMass had done, I believe starting this year. Again, not a best situation for us, but at least we know to look for other options right from when waitlisted.

Agreed on the sample size thing. But about ea, i myslef applied ea and was deferred. As far as i saw, they deferred many many potential cs applicants while admitting applicants for other less popular majors with significantly lower stats.

And moreover, what benefit do they have in favoring ea over rd. If it was ed it was understandable to protect yield, but itâs not!
True, keep in mind though that the FYE pool is much larger than CS. Per my understanding, FYE, will include Comp E, Mech, etcâŠso a much larger pool, hence the flexibility to do more admits from EA deferred pool.
Good point and I agree. However, I donât believe thereâs a way for them to say CS only EA where as all others we take RD into account. They do want to hedge their admits from RD pool for CS, hence I think itâs better to say majority of admits from EA.
Makes sense. But I would still like to believe they are done with their fye wave and cs wave is still leftđ.

This is what Purdue says about EA:
If youâre a high school student, you should apply early in your senior year; admission will be much more competitive if you apply later. The freshman application is available beginning August 1.
To meet a deadline, your application must be complete, which means we have received all required material. See Completing the Application, below.
NOVEMBER 1: Early Action Application Deadline
- Students who meet the Early Action deadline will have an admission decision on January 15.
- Application deadline to be considered for Purdueâs full range of scholarships and the John Martinson Honors College.
- Priority application deadline for biomedical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, engineering (first-year), flight (professional flight technology), mechanical engineering, motorsports engineering, nursing, and veterinary nursing. Priority means we will continue accepting applications after this date only if space allows â if applying for one of these programs after November 1, check the closed programs page first.

We are doing all the reasoning for admissions committee decisions. They should hire usđ

What if we applied ea and were deferred? Are we still considered only if space allows or given full consideration??
Goes back to @Violin99 's point:

I donât have insight on that specifically but Purdue has been deferring more applicants the last two cycles than in years past, so donât give up hope.

Thatâs a releif
Our result is Deffered since Jan, have not seen any movement. Is that a sign of rejection?
Same here
Since being EA deferred for CS (AI 2nd choice), I havenât been as closely paying attention, but I donât think Iâve seen as much discussion on students being accepted/offered to their 2nd choice major in these latest waves. Seems like I saw that more during the EA acceptances. Has anyone whoâs been paying more attention seen that as well, or have there also been a number of 2nd choice offers the last few weeks that I missed?
