hi megan,

here are the purdue admissions requirements as listed on their website. it looks like your son will have to take either the sat or act, as well as meet the other requirements, to be a candidate. i’d also recommend directly contacting their admissions department if you have any specific questions, since they are the experts on the topic! i hope this helps, and best of luck! 🙂

great question, bob! hopefully this article helps you gauge your son’s chances with purdue. we also have similar articles for urbana-champaign, university of michigan, cornell, georgia tech, and west point.

so hopefully we have you covered. but certainly let me know if you have any other questions, bob! 🙂

would like to apply for univ. of michigan (ann arbor), purdue, university of illinois (urbana champaign), cornell, west point and georgia tech. what are his chances?

thanks

bob

i would say 1160, the bottom score in purdue’s middle 50% of accepted applicants, is the lowest possible sat score you can get and still have a decent chance of acceptance. if you have a score below that, your chances of acceptance are 25% or lower.

remember, of course, that there are no absolute score requirements. if you have a lower sat score but the rest of your application is strong in other ways, you still may be able to get in, regardless of statistics.

sorry for the delayed reply, here! these types of questions are best directed to the admissions team at purdue rather than us, since we have no inside knowledge of their processes (and it can differ at each school). all the best! 🙂
