 Welcome to Purdue FAQ's Boilermakers Respond. I'm your host, Erin Anderson. Today we're talking all about the undergraduate college admissions process here at Purdue University. To help answer your questions, I'll be talking with Purdue Admissions Ambassador, Elise. Elise, would you mind introducing yourself to us, please? Yeah, of course, Erin. So my name is Elise Rentschler. I'm one of our Admissions Ambassadors here at Purdue. I'm a senior, I'm studying computer science. I've been with our admissions department for about four years now. So since my freshman year, I've really enjoyed my time there. I've also really enjoyed my time at Purdue. Had a lot of really great experiences. So I'm really excited to be talking with you all today. Awesome, thank you for joining us. Now let's get started. You know as much about Purdue Admissions as anyone here. When is the deadline to apply? So the first deadline we're gonna be looking at is gonna be our November 1st deadline. So if you want to be considered an early action student, you need to apply by November 1st. If you do miss that deadline, then our regular decision admissions deadline is gonna be January 15th. We do recommend though that everyone apply early action or before November 1st. That's where if you're interested in any of our competitive majors, such as computer science, engineering, nursing or professional flight, you have to apply then. If you're also interested in any merit-based scholarships or honors college, you need to get that application in by November 1st. The earlier, the better, for sure. So how much does it cost to submit an application to Purdue? It costs $60 to submit your application to Purdue. That being said, there are fee waivers online both through the Common App as well as through Purdue that anyone can look through when they are applying and see if they apply. How important is the early action deadline? If you apply early action, then you will be getting your decision on January 15th. Everyone gets it at the same time if you were an early action student. So it's really nice to know that you'd be getting it on an exact day. If you do apply regular decision, those are gonna be rolling out on the basis after January 15th. So you're gonna have that waiting period of not knowing when you're gonna get your decision or not. Absolutely. What is the Common App and when does Purdue accept it? The Common App is an online application service that Purdue is a part of with over a thousand different schools. It is gonna be the only way for Arba Kenner or first-year students to be able to apply to Purdue. So definitely look into it and start checking it out. Absolutely.
