Admissions Overview
The University of Charleston is less selective with a 67.73% acceptance rate, meaning about two-thirds of applicants get in. This makes it accessible for students with solid but not perfect academic records. You don't need to be valedictorian to have a good shot here. The school takes a personal approach to admissions, looking beyond just test scores and grades. They want students who are ready to get involved on a small campus where everyone knows each other. Charleston seeks motivated students who will contribute to their tight-knit community, particularly those interested in their strong programs in pharmacy, business, and athletics. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio means professors will know your name.
