Essays/LORs/Other
LOR 1: 8/10 - Physics teacher, really good student during his class, he liked me
LOR 2: 7/10 - CS teacher, did project with school with her, probably ok loc

Certainly possible.

Good luck.

You should be able to calculate it.

ooooh - i saw 95 - didn’t see it was weighted.

Yes, that could impact - but if it’s a 90+ and the test score is there, OP certainly “has a chance” - how good, I dunno.

I think you are a competitive applicant. Be sure to meet the EA deadline though as Purdue fills the majority of their class in EA and CS is very competitive.
