Admissions Overview
Allegheny College has a 69.65% acceptance rate, making it less selective than many liberal arts colleges. This means most qualified applicants have a good chance of admission. The middle 50% of students score between 1114-1372 on the SAT, with an average of 1243. Students don't need perfect test scores to gain entry. The college seeks intellectually curious students who want to explore multiple disciplines. Given Allegheny's signature requirement that all seniors complete interdisciplinary capstone projects combining two different academic fields, admissions officers look for applicants who demonstrate genuine interest in making connections across subjects rather than just excelling in a single area.
