McPherson College Admissions

McPherson College is less selective with a 65.88% acceptance rate, meaning about two-thirds of applicants get in. This gives students a solid chance of admission without needing perfect grades or test scores. The middle 50% of admitted students scored between 908 and 1120 on the SAT, or averaged around 20 on the ACT. These numbers show the school welcomes students with average to above-average academic performance rather than demanding top test scores. McPherson looks for students who want hands-on learning and tight community connections. The school especially values applicants interested in automotive restoration, skilled trades, or liberal arts who thrive in small-town settings where everyone knows each other.
