The University of Alabama Admissions

Alabama accepts 80% of applicants, making it a less selective public university. This means most students with decent grades and test scores can gain admission. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1130-1410 on the SAT or around 27 on the ACT. Out-of-state students face slightly higher standards due to limited slots, with 58% of students coming from outside Alabama. The university seeks well-rounded students who can handle college-level work and contribute to campus traditions. Strong high school GPAs matter more than perfect test scores. Students interested in Greek life, SEC athletics, and school spirit tend to thrive in Alabama's culture-driven environment.
