University of Connecticut Admissions

UConn is moderately selective with a 54.51% acceptance rate, meaning roughly half of applicants gain admission. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1220-1440 on the SAT, with an average of 1330. This puts successful applicants well above national averages but below Ivy League territory. The university attracts students who balance strong academics with school spirit, particularly those drawn to Division I athletics and research opportunities. UConn seeks well-rounded candidates who can thrive in both rigorous business and engineering programs while contributing to the active campus culture that has produced championship basketball teams and notable alumni like Ray Allen and Diana Taurasi.
