Insights on Roosevelt University Admissions

Hey everyone! Can anyone share some insights on how competitive or challenging Roosevelt University admissions process is? Or perhaps any unique requirements they may have?

3 months ago

Roosevelt University in Chicago has a more inclusive admissions policy and is generally considered less competitive. The university has an acceptance rate of about 88% (in recent available data), making it accessible to many students.

When applying, you'll find there's no application fee, which can lessen the financial burden of the college application process. In terms of academic requirements, the average high school GPA of incoming freshman at Roosevelt University is around a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, and the university doesn't specify a required minimum.

As for standardized tests, as of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Roosevelt University is test-optional. This means that SAT or ACT scores are not required, but can be submitted if you believe they will strengthen your application. If you choose to submit test scores, average ACT and SAT scores for admitted students tend to be in the range of 18-24 for ACT, and 950-1140 for SAT.

The university requires high school transcripts and one letter of recommendation for freshman applicants. Like many institutions, an essay is also required. The prompt can vary, so it's key to respond to what is specifically asked while also sharing something meaningful about yourself, your interests, and how you would contribute to the Roosevelt University community.

In terms of unique aspects or tips, demonstrating an understanding of and alignment with Roosevelt's social justice mission within your application, especially on your personal statement, could potentially strengthen your application.

Also, if you are interested in Roosevelt's CCPA (Chicago College of Performing Arts) there might be additional requirements like auditions or portfolios, so it's important to check for your specific major or program.

Remember, these are general trends and the admissions process may vary depending on a host of factors. It's advisable to check the university's official website or contact their admissions office for the most accurate and detailed information.
