Carlow University Admissions

Carlow University has an open admission policy with a 92.7% acceptance rate. This means nearly all applicants who meet basic requirements will gain admission. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 850-1100 on the SAT, with an average of 975. These relatively modest test score expectations reflect the university's commitment to providing access to higher education. Carlow seeks students passionate about health sciences and nursing, particularly those drawn to hands-on clinical experience in Pittsburgh's well-known medical community. The school values students who thrive in small, supportive environments and are committed to the Catholic tradition of service to others.
