Purdue University's acceptance rate falls around 49.87%, making it moderately selective but less competitive than other universities in the U.S.   

Purdue uses several evaluation factors, including GPA, minimum high school expectations, SAT or ACT scores, College essay, personal background and experiences, etc. Thus, students must focus on a holistic approach while building their profiles. Statistically, Purdue University selects only 50 candidates out of every 100 applicants, making it relatively competitive. With a well-rounded profile and academic background, one can expect better chances of admission.  &nbs

Yes, international students pursuing their higher studies from an US-based institution can go on to attain permanent residency (PR), also called a green card, in the United States.

To obtain a green card, students studying on an F1 visa (student visa), have to apply for an OPT or STEM OPT Extension followed by an H1B visa (post-study employment visa), for which they must attain a job offer from a recognised organisation in the United States.

H-1 B Visa holders are then eligible to apply for the Green Card.

Check out: F1 Student Visa to USA Green Card, for a more detailed description of the same.
