Admissions Overview
University of St Francis is moderately selective with a 58% acceptance rate. This means roughly six out of ten applicants get admitted, making it accessible but still competitive enough to require solid academics. Students typically score between 1030-1240 on the SAT or around 26 on the ACT to be competitive. The Catholic institution draws heavily from Illinois, with 93% of students coming from in-state. Given its strong nursing and health science programs, plus its Catholic Franciscan mission emphasizing service, the university seeks students who value both academic achievement and community engagement. Students interested in smaller class sizes and faith-based education tend to thrive here.
