Admissions Overview
Franklin and Marshall is selective with a 36% acceptance rate. This means roughly one in three applicants gets admitted, making it competitive but not impossible. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1310-1440 on the SAT or around 32 on the ACT. Strong grades and test scores matter here, but they're looking beyond numbers. F&M values students who will thrive in small seminar-style classes with just 9 students per faculty member. They want engaged learners who will take advantage of close mentorship opportunities and contribute to the tight-knit campus community. The college seeks future leaders who appreciate personalized attention and want to build meaningful relationships with professors.
