Purdue c/o 2027 Applicants

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Do we think they will continue calling thru the weekend or pick back up on Monday?
 
Just got a call from the Dean!!! He's incredibly nice and very supportive. Said I'd get my official acceptance email later today. Keep your ringers on and look for a number from Indiana!!! I'm OOS from CA.
 
Waitlisted IS. A bit frustrated bc this was my third application cycle, but I’ll keep going until they let me in
 
Does anyone know what PC they usually have students purchase? I know they haven’t said the exact model but does anyone know the brand? Just curious🙂

It's a Lenovo. The class of 2026 has the X13 Yoga G2, which has touchscreen, converts into tablet mode, and has a (super skinny) stylus. Similar style to previous years, but it seems each year that they change it just a little. You'll have to buy it from a specific website/link that they send you.

Cost was just over $2100 last year (including tax and shipping), which is pretty steep. It does include a full 4 year warranty that covers just about everything (except the stylus apparently), with the option to extend it to a 5 year warranty for an additional cost. I believe there were loans or something available for the laptops. Not a horrible computer imo but it costs a lot and they really ought to choose something with more processing power than they do. I like the concept, just could be improved on some.

They'll let you know more about your specific model, cost, etc. when they figure that out (I believe we heard April or May?), but that's what you can generally expect based on previous years.
