WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University is welcoming its most selective class of incoming students for the 2023-24 academic year, marking a ninth consecutive record-breaking year of undergraduate applicants and enrollments, and another overall record for the number of graduate and undergraduate students. This year's incoming undergraduate class was selected at a 50% admission rate — 3 percentage points lower than last year — from among 72,800 applicants. 'The Class of 2027 is the most selective drawn from the largest pool of undergraduate applicants since the Common App was used at Purdue,' said Purdue President Mung Chiang.
