Admissions Overview

Austin College is moderately selective with a 54% acceptance rate. This means about half of applicants get in, making it competitive but not impossibly so. The middle 50% of students score between 1160-1370 on the SAT or around 27 on the ACT. These numbers reflect the college's academic standards while remaining accessible to strong students who may not have perfect test scores. Austin College seeks students who will thrive in small classroom settings with an 11:1 student-faculty ratio. The school values students interested in close mentoring relationships and pre-professional preparation, particularly those drawn to its distinctive January term and collaborative learning environment.
