I gave them myApr 22 2007Mechanical Engineering
I gave them my test scores and got in.
I just filled out the application to get inOct 26 2006Engineering Department
I just filled out the application to get in. I had a 3.2 unweighted and a 3.6 weighted GPA in high school. I also got a 2060 on the SAT. I think the fact that I was taking 3 AP courses helped. It didn't feel like it was very hard to get in. The most important thing is probably to apply as early as possible.
SAT: 1460 Male
Work hard, every year they raise the bar to get inAug 03 2006Psychology
Work hard, every year they raise the bar to get in. Take both SAT and ACT just in case one is bad. Make sure you have good letters of recommendation as well.
ACT: 24 SAT: 1140 Female
I didn't do anything special to get into PurdueJun 21 2006Aerospace Engineering
I didn't do anything special to get into Purdue. I filled out the application. My SATs were pretty good, so I think that's what probably did it. Good grades in high school or high SATs will get you into the engineering school, I don't know about other programs.
SAT: 1460 Female
Getting in is simpleDec 13 2005Industrial Operations Engineering
Getting in is simple. Keep at least a B- average and score above 1000 on your SATs, you'll be accepted. If you're the 'I never study for anything and always manage an A' type, good luck, that attitude will only last so long.
