Admissions Overview

Denison University is selective, accepting just 22% of applicants. This means strong academic credentials are essential for admission. The middle 50% of admitted students scored between 1270-1460 on the SAT or around 31 on the ACT. With nearly 78% of students coming from out of state, Denison draws a geographically diverse applicant pool to its picturesque Ohio campus. The admissions committee looks for students who will thrive in small classroom settings, given the 9:1 student-faculty ratio. They seek intellectually curious students who want close mentorship and value the tight-knit community that comes with a 2,400-student liberal arts college.
