Here's the scale I use for myself:

Reach: A long shot
High match: A school where rejection is likely but there's still some room for acceptance
Match: Rejection and acceptance are almost equally likely
Low match: A school where acceptance is likely but there's still some room for rejection
Safety: A school you're almost sure to be in

As for Purdue, I assumed that immediate family working there doesn't count as a legacy.

I really want to get in to iu is it too late or are there any options for me that I can do like if I raised my sat and act would that help enough to get IU to accept me?

Getting recs from Purdue faculty will help you most getting into Purdue.

ACT should be 25+ to get a "low match" status from IU since dual-enrollment is a thing that could go with you.
