Can I get into the Engineering program at Purdue? I’m interested in the Biomedical program, whilst being Premed. But I believe the first year there I will not be in any specific engineering program, just engineering general studies.
My SAT were rather low, 570 math, 540 verbal, and 510 writing.
My GPA weighted is 4.21 and 3.71 unweighted. Class rank in top 5%.
I’m involved in a lot of activities, including Student Council, SADD (President), 4-H, Cross Country, Track, School Mascot 
, National Honor Society, National Art Honor Society, and many more.
I also have a job, where I hold a position as supervisor.
I have a considerable amount of community service, which includes writing several grants for the community, one of which was for over half a million for a leadership program.
I’m just worried whether or not I will get in, a representative came to our school to tell us about the college, and he made it seem extremely difficult to get into the engineering program there. I know you wont know for sure, but I would like your opinion on whether or not I can get in. I WILL contact them and am going on a college visit day soon, so please don’t tell me to just contact them. Thanks!
Also, what do you think about the student life at the West Lafayette campus. Are we required to live on it as freshman? Other interesting facts? Thanks!
I’m already signed up to take my SATs again, and I’ve been studying quite a bit for them, hopefully I will do much better.
Yes, our school is on a 4.0 scale.
Also throughout my high school career I will have taken 5 AP classes. (Calculus, English, Government, Chemistry, Biology)
Im guessing ur gpa is on a 4.0 scale?

If its on a 5.0 scale you might have a tough time getting in but if they like what u’ve been doing they might take u

Yes on a 4.0 scale you have a very good chance to get in.
Altough I serously suggest retaking the SAT and doing VERY good. Since those top notch colleges looks at the test scores more then a public school does.
(I know all of this because our school uses a website with a whole list of colleges and it includes majores, degrees, average act and gpa’s, and courses.)
They also have this graph where you can look at the people that applied to a certain school at it shows there test score and gpa and wheter or not they got accepted, on the waiting list, or rejected.
