Hi everyone, with all the changes regarding standardized tests during the pandemic, does anyone know if Purdue University has switched to a test-optional policy? I couldn't find any clear info on their site. Thanks a bunch in advance!
Hello! As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Purdue University now requires all applicants to submit either an SAT or ACT score as part of their application. So, Purdue is not a test-optional university, unlike some other institutions that have continued with the test-optional policies initiated during the pandemic.
Whenever you're unsure about information like this, it is beneficial to check the official university's admissions page or give their admissions office a call. University policies can change year by year, especially in response to global situations like the COVID-19 pandemic. It's always essential to have the most up-to-date and relevant information directly from the source.
