Admissions Overview

Gardner-Webb University is less selective with a 75% acceptance rate. Three out of four applicants gain admission, making this a realistic option for students with solid but not strong academic records. The middle 50% of students score between 1020-1210 on the SAT, with an average of 1115. Students typically need around a B average to be competitive. As a Southern Baptist institution, Gardner-Webb seeks students who value faith-based education and small class environments. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio attracts those wanting personal attention from professors. The university particularly appeals to students interested in combining Christian values with academic pursuits in a close-knit rural setting.
