Yo everyone. I've been looking at Purdue quite a bit lately, but I haven't been able to find much on what the average ACT score is for admitted students. Anyone have a ballpark figure for this? I'm just tryna get a better idea of what I should be aiming for. Appreciate it!
Hey! As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Purdue University has discontinued its test-optional policy, so you are required to submit SAT or ACT scores. To give you a perspective on the average ACT score for admitted students at Purdue, the middle 50% ACT score range is between 27 and 34. This indicates that 50% of admitted students scored in this range.
So, you would likely have a competitive ACT score if it falls within or above this range. However, keep in mind that Purdue's admissions process is not solely based on ACT scores. Other factors, like your GPA, coursework, extracurricular activities, and essays, will also be taken into account. Good luck with your application!
