<p>From the looks of it Purdue doesn’t seem to be to selective (not sure if their college of engineering is more selective though)</p>

<p>And your score is right in the middle at 1170 so it looks like a match.</p>

<p>However:
*Could be harder if your out of state
*These statistics are from 2 years ago</p>

<p>I’d say take the SAT again, and try the ACT just to be sure.</p>
