Hey guys! There's a lot of conflicting info out there regarding SAT averages for Purdue University. Can anyone help provide clarity on this? What's the average SAT score for students admitted? Is it a hard cut-off?
For Purdue University, the middle 50% range of SAT scores for admitted students in recent years has typically been between 1210 and 1450. This essentially means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1210 and 25% scored above 1450.
It's important to note, though, that these are averages and ranges—not strict cutoffs. It's quite possible for a student whose SAT score falls below that range to be admitted, just as it's possible for a student who scored above that range to be rejected.
This is because Purdue, like many universities, uses a holistic approach in the admissions process, considering not just test scores, but also factors such as academic achievement, course rigor, leadership, and involvement in extracurricular activities.
Remember, having a score in or above this range improves your chances but doesn't guarantee admission; likewise, having a score below this range doesn't mean you won't be admitted. It's all about the total package you bring as an applicant.
