Admissions Overview
Livingstone College is less selective with a 63.77% acceptance rate, meaning most qualified applicants get accepted. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 800 and 960 on the SAT, with an average of 880, or around 18 on the ACT. This means you don't need perfect test scores to get in. As a historically black college founded in 1879 by the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, Livingstone looks for students who want to be part of a tight-knit community focused on leadership and service. The school values students who are ready to work hard and take advantage of small class sizes (13:1 student-faculty ratio) to build strong relationships with professors and classmates.
