Last I heard, Purdue had an 18-20% acceptance rate for CS. If you are in-state, you may get a little bump in those odds. You appear to be a reasonably strong candidate.

Thank you for your response. I am an OOS student.

You seem super for Purdue without any issue.

These from our OOS high school have been denied in recent years:
4.152 WGPA and 1510
4.049 and 1500
4.216 and 1470
4.228 and 1410
3.923 and 1490

Many around this level were accepted starting at around 1350 SAT and 4.0 WGPA.
~4.2 WGPA is top 10%

Not sure what those denied applicants chose as a major, but you look very good in comparison. Leadership in activities always seems to help add a third leg to the stool.
