text: can someone tell me about purdue university. can someone with a gpa of 3.8 and? act score of 22 get any form of scholarsip it depends on what school you are applying to first of all.  apply as early as you can.  when i was accepted i applied as early as i could and was notified of my acceptance within a month or two if i remember correctly (this was 5 years ago!).  i had a gpa of 3.2 and an act of 23 and i was accepted into the school of science.  that being said i went to a very prestigious boarding school and participated in a lot of extra curricular activities. as for scholarships, contact someone at the school and ask them for help.  one of the things i loved most about purdue is although it is a very large school, i knew all my counselors and professors and spoke with them often.  so you don't get lost in the crowd there!  they are very willing to help! http://www.purdue.edu/dfa/ that is the link for financial aid and scholarships at purdue and here is their number!  765-494-0998 best of luck, i loved going to purdue!!
