The admission process at Purdue University involves several key steps. First, applicants must complete an online application via the Common App or Coalition App, submitting personal information, academic history, and extracurricular activities. High school transcripts and standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are required, though some programs may have test-optional policies.
Letters of recommendation and essays are optional but encouraged for competitive programs. Deadlines vary by term, with Early Action typically due November 1 and Regular Decision by January 15. Some programs require additional materials like portfolios or interviews. Decisions are released on a rolling basis, and admitted students must confirm enrollment by May 1.
