Anyone got the lowdown on Pace University's admission rate? I'm thinking of sending an application their way, but I just wanted to sort out how selective they are before I pour sweat and tears into their application.
Pace University in New York City operates with a sliding scale of selectivity. In recent years, the acceptance rate has fluctuated between 70% to around 80%. That being said, it's still important to ensure that your academic and extracurricular profile matches up with that of admitted students.
To give you a clear picture, most admitted students have SAT scores between 1150 and 1310 or an ACT score between 24 and 29. Like many other universities, Pace uses the Academic Index to evaluate a potential student's academic performance, which is a combination of grades, test scores (if available), and class rank (if available).
Furthermore, Pace values students with strong extracurricular involvement. While the number can vary, successful applicants to top colleges tend to have around 8-10 total extracurriculars.
Remember, applause to you for researching and taking your college applications seriously. Make sure your application reflects your genuine self and showcases your uniqueness. Good luck with your application journey!
