Purdue University is a High Reach school on our readiness map — that label describes how demanding the preparation is for international-school applicants, not an admission probability.

Based in West Lafayette, Indiana (US Top 50, US News 2026 #46 per US News 2026 National Universities), it reviews both AP and A-Level curricula, so the question is not which system you study but how strong your core-subject evidence is.

The benchmarks and admit-case chart below come from anonymized application records of Chinese international-school students, aggregated with percentile ranges to protect every individual case.
