Admissions Overview
Suffolk University falls into the open admission category with an 86.79% acceptance rate. This means most students who apply will get in, making it accessible for students who may not have perfect grades or test scores. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1080-1300 on the SAT, giving you a good target range. With a 75.52% retention rate, the school works to support students once they arrive. Suffolk looks for students who want to be in the heart of Boston and are drawn to practical, career-focused programs in business, law, and public service rather than those seeking a traditional college campus experience.
