So, Saint John's University has been constantly on my mind recently. I'm trying to gauge my chances here. Does anyone know what their current acceptance rate stands at? Is it rising or falling in the past couple years? Appreciate the help!
Saint John's University in Queens, New York, has had an overall acceptance rate around 85% in recent years. It hasn't shown a drastic trend of increasing or decreasing significantly over the past few years. Please bear in mind, these statistics vary by year and the strength of the applicant pool, so this is a ballpark figure.
Remember, although understanding acceptance rates can give you an idea of the school's selectivity, it won't necessarily indicate your chances of admission. Your personal fit with the school, academic achievements, extracurriculars, and essays will play significant roles too. For instance, striking a balance between your grades and the rigor of your high school curriculum, exhibiting leadership and passion in extracurricular activities, and demonstrating clear interest and match with the school in your essays can increase your chances.
Also, just a quick side note - always have a range of schools on your list: reach, match, and safety schools, to ensure that you will have options when decision times come around. Best of luck with your application!
