How to interpret the acceptance rate
Adrian College admitted 72.5% of applicants in the reported entering class, a rate that describes that year’s applicant pool rather than an individual applicant’s odds. For context, the rate can be read against the median of 75.7% for comparable institutions (same type and size).
Applicants should place Adrian College on an application list only after comparing their academic record with its published score ranges.
What SAT and ACT scores do Adrian College students report?
Recent score submitters at Adrian College had a broad range of results, so the figures offer context rather than admission minimums. Among enrolled students who submitted scores, the middle half of SAT results, from the twenty-fifth to seventy-fifth percentiles, ran from 873 to 1,140.
The corresponding middle half of ACT results ran from 21 to 27. These ranges describe enrolled score submitters, not every enrolled student.
Applicants should compare their own SAT results with Adrian College’s 873 to 1,140 range, treating it as a reference for recent enrolled submitters rather than a cutoff. The 21 to 27 ACT range provides the same context for applicants with ACT results.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Adrian College enrolls a modest undergraduate body that includes many students using federal grant aid and a visible transfer presence. Of its 1,604 undergraduates, 30.8% receive Pell Grants, a financial-access measure, and an estimated 14.9% enter as transfers or part-time students.
Those figures suggest a campus with both direct-entry and continuing students, rather than a single common path into the college.
Adrian College has retention and completion measures below those at comparable institutions. Pell recipients in the first-time full-time cohort complete within six years at 39.9%, which is below the overall six-year graduation rate of 48.4% by 8.5 percentage points.
The overall rate is below the comparable-institution median of 54.9%. For full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year entrants, the retention rate is 65.4%, below the peer median of 74.2%.
Enrolled students can expect persistence measures that begin with first-year return and extend through six-year completion; both sit below their comparable-institution medians.
