Hey, I applied for Purdue's Polytechnic program and I'm curious about how competitive it is. Does anyone know the acceptance rate for this program?
Purdue University's Polytechnic Institute is indeed a popular choice for students interested in hands-on, technology-driven programs. However, Purdue does not publicly disclose individual acceptance rates for specific programs or colleges within the university, including the Polytechnic Institute. That said, the overall acceptance rate for Purdue University as a whole was approximately 50.3% for the most recent admissions cycle. This might give you a broad sense of the selectivity, but remember that acceptance rates can vary widely from program to program.
For a more accurate understanding, consider the Polytechnic Institute's general admission criteria. They are looking for students with a strong background in math and science, with solid grades in these subjects. The successful completion of relevant coursework (such as computer science or engineering classes if relevant to your intended major) can also bolster your application. If you've already applied and are waiting to hear back, best of luck! You've definitely chosen an exciting program of study.
