My son is a freshman at Purdue University. He's in the flight technology program. He has a 3.79 GPA for the first semester, doesn't drink and never has (yes I'm sure. .
My son had applied for an RA position. We were really hopeful since it would be such a huge help in paying for college! He's also in the Reserves with the Air Force. Unfortunately, in regards to tuition reimbursement, he's receiving a third of what we were told he would receive for joining up. So this RA position was something we really were hoping for.
He just found out he did not make the second cut for becoming an RA next year. Nothing can be done about that obviously, but just to make him feel better about his chances next year, I wondered if a big part of the decision not to forward him on in the choices was because he was a freshman this year. I would think they probably want older students.
Does anyone know about these things and know if that's part of the decision making process or not?
