what’s the login for our career account?
jk i figured it out!
Look at your acceptance letters!
As an admitted student, you may visit purdue.edu/YoureABoilermaker to activate your online career account with your 10-digit Purdue University ID (PUID) and career account set-up password, both of which are provided at the bottom of this letter. This website also provides information about important next steps and deadlines.
Finally got in to see the financial offers … one son got another scholarship on top of his trustee (covers about 3/4 of OOS COA), but the other got $0! Oh well.
Does anyone know how many receive the Beering/Stamps application and how many become semifinalists?
@ohnoitsme There were 10 engineering students who won either Stamps or Beering last year. Not sure about the other colleges or the number of semi finalists.
When does Purdue typically release regular decision acceptances?
@sekbote They release in batches, each Friday at 5pm EST. All RD decisions are relased by 3/31, I believe. We are still waiting for second kid results, who applied later than first. Getting a little worried, because the last possible release date is after a different type of deadline she has with her second choice school. I’m hoping we are in an earlier batch!

Welcome 
Did you get accepted? Or are you posting your stats ahead of a decision?
@Momofmanytoo — Have you heard if any RD “batches” have been released yet? I haven’t seen any reported RD decisions here yet…
this is super late but…
Accepted to College of Engineering EA, OOS
Received $16k/year trustee’s scholarship
Received incredible financial aid on top of that, bringing the total cost under $11k/year
Did NOT get into Honors College
to be honest, you are one of the many parents bragging about your kids stats. Just wait and see if they get in or not. your comments on here are not going to sway the admissions officer decision.

The OOS tuition is just too high. No merit. No Scholarships. Midwest OOS students not given much to help make it happen. Not whining, just very naive to this process, and to Purdue’s historical merit/scholarships/aid for OOS and Midwest and tbh, Engineering majors.
I don’t feel there is anything we can do to move forward with the Purdue decision. I know my son is bummed, but why pay 3-4x more for an engineering bachelors and be in debt so long?
If anyone here is excited about sponsoring a child to go to Purdue - we are your family! 
Contact us anytime! (preferably before May 1)
I just checked the Purdue website, and it looks like the Engineering school has reached its capacity for Fall 2020 first-time freshmen. Pretty bummed out about that.

@sekbote As I read that link, they aren’t accepting new applications, but will still consider any applications already submitted.
Have you not heard back yet regarding admissions? There are many families, like mine, that are trying to figure out finance on the OOS (see above). SO many positions may come available, although in all other areas, they over enroll and deal with the yield.
