St. John's College Admissions

St. John's College is moderately selective with a 54% acceptance rate. About half of applicants gain admission, making it accessible to students with solid academic credentials but not impossibly competitive. Admitted students typically score between 1250-1460 on the SAT or around 30 on the ACT. The college cares less about perfect test scores and more about intellectual curiosity. St. John's seeks students who want to engage deeply with the greatest books ever written, from Plato to Einstein. They look for applicants excited about Socratic seminars, mathematical proofs, and laboratory experiments based on original scientific texts rather than traditional lectures.
