Purdue admissions - recommended SAT scores?

Hey there! I'm really interested in applying to Purdue University, and I'd like to know what SAT scores they generally look for in applicants. What score should I aim for to have a good chance of getting accepted to Purdue?

Hi! It's great that you're interested in Purdue University. To answer your question about SAT scores, while there isn't an exact minimum score to guarantee admission, you can get a good idea of what scores are competitive by looking at the middle 50% SAT scores of accepted students.

For Purdue, the middle 50% SAT range for admitted students in recent years has been approximately 1210-1450. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1210, 25% scored above 1450, and the remaining 50% fell within that range. To have a strong chance of admission, it's generally recommended that you aim for a score within or above this range.

However, keep in mind that Purdue, like many universities, uses a holistic review process when evaluating applicants, which means they consider factors beyond just test scores, such as your GPA, coursework, extracurricular activities, and essays. While having a competitive SAT score can improve your chances, it's also important to present a strong overall profile to maximize your chances of acceptance. Good luck!
