Hey guys! St. Lawrence University is on my shortlist. I'd love to know its acceptance rate, could anybody provide some info? Also, any insights into their admissions review process would be greatly helpful!
Hello there! St. Lawrence University, for the 2024-2025 application cycle, has an acceptance rate of roughly 60%. This rate makes the school moderately competitive. However, for determining your personal odds of acceptance, remember that your own profile matters more than the school's overall rate.
St. Lawrence uses a holistic admissions process, which means they take into consideration a variety of factors, such as your high school GPA, the rigor of your course load, your involvement in extracurriculars, and recommendation letters from counselors and teachers. They are interested in who you are as a whole student and individual, not just your test scores or grades.
So, while information about acceptance rates is helpful in understanding the selectivity of universities, it doesn’t give full context. Personal fit should also be a significant factor in determining where to apply. I would encourage you to consider your academic interests, campus culture, location, and financial feasibility when looking at colleges, as if your strengths align well with what a particular school offers, you'll likely be a competitive applicant regardless of the overall acceptance rate.
Hope you find this information useful, and best of luck with your application!
