Admissions Overview
Alvernia University is moderately selective with a 59% acceptance rate, meaning about 6 out of 10 applicants get accepted. The middle 50% of students score between 996 and 1170 on the SAT, with an average of 1083. This puts most admitted students in the solid B-student range rather than requiring top grades. As a Catholic university founded in 1958, Alvernia looks for students who value small class sizes (12:1 student-faculty ratio) and want personal attention from professors. The school attracts students interested in health sciences, business, and education who appreciate a faith-based environment but don't need perfect test scores to succeed.
