Average IB Score
Average IB Score
Purdue University reports an IB Average Score of 38 out of a maximum of 45 for admitted students who submitted IB scores. Notably, many admitted students do not provide IB scores, so this average specifically pertains to those who do.
IB Score Range
34-41
Purdue University reports an IB score range for admission with a 25th percentile of 34 and a 75th percentile of 41. While being within this range is not a guarantee of admission, scoring closer to the upper end is a positive indicator. Applicants at the lower end of the range will need to enhance their applications with stronger grades, compelling essays, notable awards, and extracurricular activities to improve their chances.
Recommended IB Subjects
HL
SL
Purdue University does not explicitly require or recommend any specific IB subjects, but based on the college profile, we suggest taking Higher Level (HL) courses in Math AA, Physics, and Chemistry, and Standard Level (SL) courses in English B and Biology. This combination may strengthen your application. Consider these subjects to align with Purdue's academic focus and prepare you for success in your chosen field.
