Admissions Overview

UALR has a 61% acceptance rate, making it less selective than most four-year universities. This means most students with solid academic records can gain admission. The middle 50% of students score between 970-1220 on the SAT or around 21 on the ACT. These are achievable scores for B students who prepare adequately. The university seeks students ready for rigorous professional programs, particularly those interested in health sciences, law, or public service careers. With 87% of students coming from Arkansas, UALR values applicants who want to serve their home state after graduation. The school looks for students who can handle the academic demands of pre-professional tracks while contributing to the diverse campus community.
