Surprise, surprise
Talk about an unexpected moment — William Mixon learned he had been admitted to Purdue in quite an unusual way.
Purdue officials, cheerleaders, students, the Boilermaker Special and Purdue Pete traveled to Mixon’s Indianapolis-area home to surprise him with the news of his admission to the University.
Mixon was excited to learn he had been admitted to the College of Engineering’s first-year engineering program.
Purdue offers rolling admissions, meaning that after students complete their applications, they can expect to receive an admissions decision in eight to 12 weeks.
