Admissions Overview
Carroll College is less selective with a 78% acceptance rate, meaning most qualified applicants gain admission. The middle 50% of students score between 1080-1200 on the SAT and average a 21 on the ACT. These scores reflect the college's accessible but still academically focused admissions standards. The 81% retention rate suggests students who enroll tend to stay and succeed.
The college seeks students drawn to its Catholic mission and close-knit community of just over 1,000 students. With strong pre-health and engineering programs, Carroll particularly values applicants interested in science and service. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio appeals to students wanting personal attention from professors rather than large lecture halls.
