Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania Admissions

Slippery Rock accepts 74% of applicants, making it a less selective public university. Most admitted students score between 960-1160 on the SAT, with an average of 1060. The school draws heavily from Pennsylvania, with 90% of students coming from in-state. Getting in requires solid but not strong academics. The Rock looks for students who want a traditional college experience in a small town setting. They value candidates interested in education, health sciences, or athletics, given their strong programs in these areas. Students who thrive here typically want close-knit campus communities and don't mind being in a rural environment an hour north of Pittsburgh.
