Hi there! I'm a junior and Purdue University is one of my top choices for college. What SAT score do you think I might need to get in? Thanks in advance for any advice!
Hello! It's great that you're considering Purdue University as one of your top choices. It's important to aim for competitive SAT scores when applying to any university. To give you an idea of the scores typically seen at Purdue, the middle 50% of accepted students (meaning 25% scored below these numbers and 25% scored above) is 1210-1450.
This means if you're aiming for scores within this range, you'll be competitive amongst other applicants. However, it's always better to aim for the upper end of the range or even above it, as higher scores can only strengthen your application.
Keep in mind that while test scores are important, Purdue, like many universities, also considers other factors in the admissions process, such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendations among other things. So, make sure to work on a well-rounded application to increase your chances of getting accepted.
Best of luck with your college application journey!
