University of the Virgin Islands Admissions

UVI operates with open admission, accepting 96.90% of applicants. This means nearly every student who applies gets in, making it one of the most accessible universities in the country. The average SAT score is 895, with the middle 50% ranging from 800 to 990. Students don't need perfect grades or test scores to gain admission. As the only public university serving the U.S. Virgin Islands, UVI primarily seeks local students committed to staying in the territory after graduation. The school looks for motivated students who want affordable education close to home and those interested in Caribbean studies, marine science, or business programs that serve the islands' tourism economy.
