<p>So I looked at purdues average stats and was suprised at what they claim their midd ACT Composite of 26-31 (!!!) because it was ranked so high. </p>

<p>I know ranking isn't everything (just look at Harvey Mudd), but what are the general addmission stats for at least some of the top/high engineering school, such as Northwestern? becasue these stats are almost immpossible to find.</p>

<p>only 20% of Purdue’s students are in Engineering</p>

<p>SAT and ACT stats for Purdue and all other schools can be found here:</p>

<p>I don’t get it. Harvey Mudd has always been ranked very highly.</p>

<p>ken, here you go - read this about Harvey Mudd and why it is not ranked as high in the National Liberal Arts category:</p>

<p>(note: Harvey Mudd is ranked #2 for Engineering in schools that don’t have a PhD program)</p>

<p>What are the Average Test Scores and GPA for First Year Engineering Students?</p>

<p>There are a number of factors that the Purdue Office of Admissions considers for acceptance to the First-Year Engineering Program. For Engineering, standardized test scores and grades in math, science, and English are very important criteria. Typically, those admitted to the First-Year Program are A and B students in high school. Students enrolled to the College of Engineering for 2010 had an average SAT in the middle 50% range of 1720-2010. Of the students that enrolled, 50% had a GPA between a 3.4-3.8, and an ACT Composite of 26-31.</p>

<p>for the whole school it is :</p>

<p>1,530-1,900 - mid 50% SAT
23-29 - mid 50% ACT composit</p>
