If you look at the stats of prospective engineering students at Purdue a 33 on the ACT is pretty average (would stand out more at schools like IU where there is no engineering program or in one of the other colleges at Purdue). There is no doubt…engineering students face the most competition when it comes to merit money or a spot in the honors college (probably followed by the CS kids). I don’t think it has anything to do with Purdue’s financial situation. Since Mitch Daniels became president, Purdue has not raised tuition. As the parent of one current Purdue student and one incoming, I’ll take the break on tuition and give up the trinkets sent out by other schools. I’m glad President Daniels has the same priorities.
