Hey there @aows.11!

I couldn't find an exact statistic from the school, but a few sources say that the acceptance rate into the Computer Science program is somewhere between 10-15%, depending on the year, which means it is highly selective. Some other (less reliable) sources say that there is around a 20% acceptance rate, which is still really low. I also found this website: https://www.petersons.com/graduate-schools/purdue-university-college-of-science-department-of-computer-sciences-000_10044399.aspx, which has a little more information.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, good luck!
