Applying to Purdue for what major?

25-32 is Purdue’s middle 50% ACT scores, and 3.75 is just at the mid-point of accepted students (47% had 3.75 and higher).

Engineering and Computer Science are significantly more difficult- it would a Reach/High Reach for those majors. Other majors would make it a slight reach school. A decent chance, but certainly not high probability/safety.

Purdue is going to be a reach for bio with those math and science sub scores.
