I'm the waitlisted guy immediately below. PLEASE decline the offer soon if you don't think you're going to Purdue - it's my top choice! I need to make my decision where I'm going to school by April 15th, and a late acceptance to Purdue would be essentially a rejection for me since I'll already have had to decide to go somewhere else.

I emailed to ask, and here's a bit of what Dr. Goldberg said in response to my inquiry: " At this point, I have not heard enough declines to be able to make any further offers, and it may be closer to April 15 before I have a better picture of what is going on, and it may not be clear until after April 15. So, I am not sure what the likelihood of your being admitted is, but you are essentially on a waiting list. I am sorry I am not able to provide you with any more precise information,but I hope it helps a little." Well, this puts a damper on my day.

Not surprised

In response to inquiry, I was told my TOEFL score was not received and hence my application is incomplete. I am left wondering if this is for April Fools'. o_0

No funding.

Checked the website, said Application Denied. Not sure when they updated this, but it's pretty abysmal that they don't send you an e-mail to notify you.

3.9 for grad school in related field. This is such a great program Purdue has, with a less than 4% acceptance rate. I'm not surprised by the rejection, but I still disappointed.

I emailed to inquire. I received a very nice response. "A final decision has not been made on your file, but unofficially it seems unlikely we'll be able to offer admission. We received over 400 applications this year, so this is a long, and very competitive process."

GPA was low I guess.. :(
