Throughout all of this time however I have done a lot of work with the marine corps, cooking dinners for thanksgiving for marines without their families, threw christmas parties, and worked with military families whos family members were stationed in foreign countries

I am a military family myself, so we have moved all over the country, which is why my junior year I had a lack of extracurricular, I switched schools, going from California to Virginia.

In my application I talked about some work I’ve done with the marine corps, and I also talked about how the SAT had caused me test anxiety, thinking it was an ultimatum for college, stressing me out every time I took it, causing my scores to be lower than they should.

My essay used cycling (a huge passion of mine) as an extended metaphor, talking about how cycling up a mountain is similar to the life of a military child, very strong essay.

My one concern is my math classes, the highest math I’ll take is Honors pre calculus this year because of the military. I moved to California in 8th grade and math changed to common core, meaning I had to stay in pre algebra for another year to accommodate for that. Meaning I started high school with Algebra 1. I didn’t talk about that in my application though.

Any information would help thank you so much, just trying to see where I stand thank you again.

Look at where your statistics place you on the Data Digest: https://www.purdue.edu/datadigest/. That may give you a better idea of how you compare to other applicants in the past few application cycles; and you can change the parameters of the relevant data pool to fit more closely your own.

You might also take a look at Purdue’s Common Data Set, here, https://www.purdue.edu/oirae/resources.html ; Part C7 tells you what admissions factors Purdue considers to be “very important,” “important,” “considered,” and “not considered”; Part C9 of the CDS gives the median 50% for both SAT and ACT scores, as well as the percentage of the entering first-year class falling within certain ranges of SAT and ACT scores; Part C11 gives the percentage of entering first-year students falling within a range of unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale, and Part C12 gives the average high school GPA of first-year applicants.

If you applied EA, then you should find out something by January 15.
