Purdue University Chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hi, I just finish my junior year of High school and was wondering what my chances were for Purdue University in West Lafayette .

My unweighted GPA is 3.96 and weighted GPA is 3.97.
My class rank is 40 out of 580.
I have a ACT composite score of 24:
Math 28
English 23
Science 26
Reading 20

I took the new SAT score and got: 630 & Evidence Reading and Writing 580

I have completed AP Chemistry as my only as my only AP class, but I am taking AP calculus (ab), AP stats, and AP Physics my senior year.

I have done two years of backstage theater and 3 years of a varsity sport. I also have a part time job, and I volunteer frequently at a nearby hospital.

I have already secured two good recommendations from teachers.

I have written strong supplementary essays. My GPA has remained constant through out the years, and I have taken three years of Spanish.

I hope to enter into the colleges of engineering or business.

I am not a resident of Indiana.

I appreciate any feedback
Thank you!!!

Purdue should be a safety for you if you improve your act. Easy school to get into hard to get out because of weed out classes. Good luck.

I have an ACT super score of 26 does that raise my chances??

Are the engineering school chances significant lower?

This is from Purdue’s website:

What are the average test scores and GPA for First Year Engineering students?

There are a number of factors that the Purdue Office of Admissions considers as criteria 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 2013 had an average combined SAT in the middle 50% range of 1800-2080 (average). Of the students that enrolled, 50% had a GPA between a 3.8-4.0, and an ACT Composite of 28-32.
