Texas Christian University Admissions

TCU is moderately selective with a 56% acceptance rate, meaning more than half of applicants gain admission but solid academic credentials remain important. Students typically score between 1140-1360 on the SAT or around 29 on the ACT. The 94% retention rate suggests admitted students find what they're looking for academically and socially. TCU seeks well-rounded students who can thrive in a community that values both academic excellence and school spirit. The university particularly attracts students interested in business and communications programs, along with those who want the Big 12 athletic experience. Students who appreciate smaller class sizes with a 14:1 student-faculty ratio while maintaining Division I energy tend to flourish here.
