At a November 14, 2012 Counselor Breakfast, Territory Manager, Terry Gilbert, announced that “The Boilermakers” will join the Common Application for the Fall of 2014.  They will be following a similar institution, The Ohio State University, who are using the Common App for the first time during the current admissions round.  This will probably increase Purdue’s applications numbers which were 30,903 for an enrollment yield of 6,291 freshmen in 2012.
