For UG programs, the students must get a minimum GPA of 2.3 on a scale of 4.0,  so yes, a students would be meeting the Purdue University eligibility by having 2.7 on a scale of 4.0. Although, this university is considered difficult to get into as the Purdue University acceptance rate stands at 49.3% meaning out of every 100 applications, only 50 applicants are rolled out an offer letter.

The Concordia Wisconsin acceptance rate of 68%, makes it fairly selective at picking students for admissions. New England College, on the other hand, has a much healthier acceptance rate of 96%, making it relatively easier to secure admissions at than CUW.

Interested applicants are required to perform well as part of their school & college level academics either way, more so, if they are seeking admissions at Concordia University Wisconsin.
