IU - yes, Purdue - ?
Boy got an email on Friday from Purdue.
Now Purdue and IU are the two BIG public universities in the state. IU is a little more focused towards liberal arts and such and Purdue is a little more focused on engineering (it’s also the state agricultural school). But they are generally comparable.
As I posted about last week, Boy was not only admitted to IU, they admitted him into their honors college, they gave him a great merit scholarship, and asked him to apply for an honor scholarship. (There was a min. GPA required for the scholarship that he has.)
So Purdue sent Boy an email.
Please send a high school transcript with letter or number grades. We cannot accept pass/fail for grades on a transcript.

So we gave him grades and I’m sending it back. But it sure seems kind of funny. One school worked with it, the other didn’t.
