My son applied EA to Purdue (FYE - First Year Engineering) - West Lafayette and was deferred when decisions came out 1/15. He submitted the continued interest form for Purdue-Indianapolis (Mechanical Engineering) and was accepted on 2/14. We’re from San Francisco and when we toured WL campus, he was not too keen about the “college town”feel. He actually prefers Indianapolis for proximity to Industry (internships/co-ops/motorsports) and entertainment. What are the pros/cons of INDY vs West Lafayette? Thanks for any insights into Purdue engineering in INDY (inaugural class was 2024).

For those replying, please share your major. Thank you.
S25 also sent LOCI with Indianapolis and received acceptance on 2/14 for CS. We are in Finland so haven’t visited there and since IB exams are in April/May, he wont be able to visit at all

Congratulations on CS. My understanding is that it’s more challenging for out-of-state students to get in, even more challenging for international students.
Sorry cannot be more helpful. S24 got accepted there for Motorsport Engineering as second major option. We never have a chance to visit. He ended up going to UC Davis for his first major Aerospace Engineering. Good Luck
