Admissions Overview
Susquehanna University is less selective with a 76.69% acceptance rate, meaning about three out of four applicants get in. This gives students more flexibility in their application strategy compared to highly competitive schools. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1088 and 1280 on the SAT, with an average of 1184. These scores suggest the school wants students who are solid academically but not necessarily in the top tier nationally. As a Lutheran liberal arts college in small-town Pennsylvania, Susquehanna looks for students who want close relationships with professors, value community service, and thrive in a tight-knit campus environment where everyone knows each other.
