hi i am a senior. i applied to purdue, and i just got an email says that my decision has been updated. i checked it says denied/program competitiveness. what does that mean? i know it means there is too many people in that particular program, but does that say i got denied, i got in to waitlist, or just i have to change my major?

You were denied.
Here is their website with the defintions:
http://www.admissions.purdue.edu/apply/applicationstatus.php#decisions
which says:
Applicant has been denied because demand for the major far exceeds its capacity.
Good luck on your other applications.
Basically, it’s just a nicer way of them telling you that you were denied. Sorry.
