At a recent visit , Purdue rep stated that if gpa of freshman year is a 3.2 ( Purdueclasses) ) you are guaranteed to get your chosen. Major. FYE or first year engineering will present all types of engineering and then you request your major to complete your degree, beginning sophomore year.

As you probably know already @babzy1 you will definitely get in. Your stats are way on the high end of Purdue’s range for admitted students. Check the CDS.

It’s very hard to gauge if you would get into BME. When you are admitted to Purdue, you are admitted to FYE, or First Year Engineering. You learn all disciplines of engineering, and in freshman year, second semester, you apply for the engineering school you would like. Only about 75 students get admitted to BME per year, based on FYE GPA. Good luck! (since this is an older post, you may already have found this out!)
