Counselor Update - Need to Know
WHAT'S NEW
Higher Education institutions around the globe have fundamentally changed.
Key information regarding the application at Purdue
- Purdue will be Test Flexible: This means that if a student has access to take an SAT or ACT test it is encouraged that they do so, especially for the most competitive programs. However, we will move forward and review any application from a student who is unable to take a standardized test.
- Looking ahead: In 2024, Purdue will return to requiring the SAT or ACT test score(s) for admission consideration. Please keep this in mind as you counsel students that would start college after 2023.
- Duolingo will be Counted for English Proficiency: For the upcoming fall, Purdue will be accepting the Duolingo English Proficiency test as proof of English proficiency.
