Doesn’t Purdue release its merit scholarship decisions in mid-February? That’s what I remember reading, but it’s been a while

got into Engineering School, indicated Computer Engr in application, but here only “First Year Engineering in the College of Engineering”, anyone know what does this mean ? Did my son get his major “Computer Engr” or not ?

Did anyone not get their results yet? Am I the only one who didnt get any kind of letter or result even tho everything met the deadline?

@BostonMADizhu all first time students begin in First Year Engineering which has a common curriculum. Transition to Major occurs after FYE is complete.
