Admissions Overview
Lawrence University is less selective with a 72% acceptance rate, meaning most qualified applicants get in. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1210-1460 on the SAT or around 30 on the ACT. These scores reflect the school's academic rigor but aren't impossibly high. Lawrence attracts students who thrive in small, collaborative environments with its 7:1 student-faculty ratio. The conservatory draws serious musicians who want to combine performance with liberal arts. Lawrence seeks intellectually curious students who appreciate both academic depth and artistic expression. The trimester system appeals to those who like intensive, focused coursework rather than traditional semester pacing.
