Hey guys! I am currently a junior in high school and have been looking into Purdue University. I think it's a cool school and the programs align with what I want to study. I took the ACT for the first time two weeks ago and got my scores back yesterday. I'm trying to benchmark against what's typical for Purdue. Can anyone tell me what the average ACT score for admitted students is? Thanks in advance!
The average ACT score for admitted students at Purdue University is typically between 26 and 34. This range represents the middle 50%, meaning 25% of admitted students score above a 34, and 25% score below a 26. However, do remember that standardized test scores aren't the only factor taken into account during admissions. Your GPA, coursework rigor, extracurriculars, and essays are also very crucial components of your application. So, it's not always about having the perfect score but also demonstrating your potential through other areas of your application. Also, please ensure to check the updated testing policy of Purdue, as policies can change due to changing circumstances.
