Admissions Overview

Ithaca College is less selective with a 75% acceptance rate, meaning most qualified applicants gain admission. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1203-1380 on the SAT or around 30 on the ACT. Strong academic performance matters, but the school doesn't require perfect scores. Ithaca seeks students passionate about hands-on learning in communications, music, and theater arts. The college values creative ambition and collaborative spirit over pure academic metrics. Students who thrive here want to dive into professional-style programs from day one. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio reflects Ithaca's commitment to mentoring aspiring performers, broadcasters, and media professionals.
