Admissions Overview
Calvin University is less selective with a 74% acceptance rate. Most applicants who meet basic requirements get in, though the school still maintains academic standards. The middle 50% of students score between 1120-1370 on the SAT or around 28 on the ACT. These scores reflect Calvin's balance between accessibility and academic rigor. The 88% retention rate suggests students who enroll tend to stay and succeed.
Calvin seeks students who value both intellectual growth and Christian faith. The Reformed theological foundation means prospective students should be comfortable in an environment where faith and learning intersect. Strong academic preparation matters, but Calvin also looks for character, service orientation, and students who will contribute to the close-knit campus community of under 3,000 students.
