Admissions Overview
Manhattan College maintains an open admission policy with an 82% acceptance rate. Most applicants who meet basic requirements will gain admission. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1140-1330 on the SAT, with an average of 1235. This suggests the college welcomes students with solid but not strong test scores. As a Catholic institution rooted in the Lasallian tradition, Manhattan seeks students who value both academic growth and moral development. The school particularly attracts students interested in engineering, business, and education who want personalized attention in a faith-centered environment. Strong character and community involvement matter as much as grades here.
