I'm digressing a bit, but I felt I had to respond to this statement by
asking if you truly believe this? Do you believe that's true of all public
schools, or just the schools in Indian, from which the majority of Purdue's
students come? I tend to feel it's the univerity's standards that are lower,
not those of the public schools. If the professors at Purdue have this
low of an opinion of the students, I'm going to have to reconsider Purdue
as a possible school for me (I've been accepted into Freshman Engineering).
