Acceptance rate at St. Lawrence University?

Hello, all! I've recently become interested in St. Lawrence University, and I was wondering if anyone knows about their acceptance rate. Is it considered a reach school, or is it more manageable? Thanks in advance!

St. Lawrence University, based in Canton, NY, is generally known to have an acceptance rate that might surprise you. Its acceptance rate for the last admissions cycle was approximately 63%. This suggests that more than half of all applicants are offered admission.

However, it's important to note that the acceptance rate alone doesn't determine if a college is a 'reach' or 'match' for you—your personal academic profile (your grades, standardized test scores if you choose to submit, course rigor, and other factors) will significantly influence your likelihood of admission.

So, while on paper the acceptance rate may make St. Lawrence University appear more manageable, it's still a good idea to compare your profile and career interests with the academic programs and student profiles at the university. This will help you better understand your chances of getting in. For example, students admitted into St. Lawrence University have an average high school GPA around 3.5.

Want to increase your chances? Spend some time on your application, particularly your essays, and highlight your commitment to extracurriculars, passion projects, or volunteer work. Demonstrating a true alignment with the university's culture and values can make you stand out amongst other applicants.
