Hey, mates! So, Purdue has caught my eye and I'm interested in applying, but I'm not exactly sure what my target SAT score should be. What's Purdue's average SAT score for accepted students?
The average SAT scores for accepted Purdue students typically range from the mid-1200s to mid-1400s, with 25% of students scoring below around 1210 and 75% of students scoring below around 1450. Please remember that these scores only represent averages and that applicants are assessed holistically, meaning your SAT score is just one of many aspects the admissions office will consider. Therefore, even if your SAT score falls below the average, other aspects of your application like your GPA, extracurricular activities, essay, course rigor, and more could bolster your candidacy. Of course, having a higher SAT score can certainly increase your competitiveness, so aim to score in the upper end of this range or beyond if you can. Best of luck with your application!
