Admissions Overview
Colorado Mesa University has an open admission policy with an 81.76% acceptance rate, making it accessible to most students who apply. If you have average grades and test scores, you'll likely get in. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 930 and 1180 on the SAT, with an average of 1055. These are solid but not strong numbers. Colorado Mesa wants students who are ready for college-level work but doesn't expect perfect academics. The school particularly attracts students interested in outdoor recreation, business, or health sciences who want a smaller university experience in western Colorado's mountain region.
