<p>I swear ! The teachers at school, think its some kind of homework<!!! I don’t think I or the college admissions people are going to get any benefit out of my recos…sigh!!</p>
<p>The teachers will need your help in terms of you giving them a single page synopsis of your achievements, challenges, grades, ECs, course rigor etc. Without that, expecting them to write about you and covering all dimensions is practically impossible. Post no. 20 on this link will give you an idea how you can help your teacher write a honest and factual recommendation.</p>

<p>I gave them my 2 page synopsis, but they get back saying that they have the regular format, in which they stuff all that you have done. they don’t really make you special!</p>

<p>@sharoon61295- Did you apply for aid?</p>
<p>Does Purdue give financial aid to internationals?
I am afraid, it does not.
Correct me if I am wrong</p>
<p>Harvard SCEA '17 anyone?!</p>
<p>No, I dont think a university as highly ranked as purdue gives aid to internationals.
But they do consider everyone for scholarship. But its really hard.
anyway, waiting for uiuc and georgiatech result this weekend :D</p>
