How to interpret the acceptance rate
Anderson University admitted 79.3% of applicants to its reported entering class, a rate above the median of 75.7% for comparable institutions (same type and size). The figure describes the share of that year’s applicant pool that received admission, rather than setting an individual applicant’s odds.
What SAT and ACT scores do Anderson University (IN) students report?
Anderson University presents score ranges as context for recent enrollees, not as admission thresholds. The figures cover the middle half of enrolled students who submitted each test, from the twenty-fifth to the seventy-fifth percentile.
They do not describe every enrolled student, and they do not establish minimum scores for admission. Applicants should compare their results with Anderson University's 900 to 1,150 SAT range and 17 to 24 ACT range.
Those ranges show where submitted scores fell among enrolled students, so they are one reference point for assessing an application.
The ranges below describe enrolled students who submitted test scores at Anderson University (IN). Use them as academic context, then check the university’s current testing policy for your application cycle.

About these student measures
These measures use different populations and reporting periods, rather than one current entering class. The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Federal grant aid is part of the undergraduate picture at Anderson University, where 36.3% of its 1,057 undergraduates receive Pell Grants. That share is a financial-access measure, rather than a description of each undergraduate’s finances.
An estimated 8.8% share of entrants outside the first-time, full-time group indicates that some undergraduates arrive with prior college coursework. These figures describe an undergraduate body that includes Pell Grant recipients and transfer entrants, without identifying admission priorities.
Pell-eligible and transfer applicants should use the cost calculator to estimate grant-adjusted costs and review program pages for their intended field before comparing options.
Completion at Anderson University is close to comparable institutions, but first-year persistence is lower. The six-year graduation rate for the first-time full-time cohort is 53.8%, just below the peer median of 54.9% for comparable institutions (same type and size).
Returning after the first year is less common: 59.9% of full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year students are retained, compared with a peer median of 74.2%. Pell recipients in the first-time full-time cohort have a six-year completion rate of 49.2%, below the overall rate by 4.6 percentage points.
Enrolled students can expect these figures to describe cohort outcomes for returning and finishing, rather than an individual timetable. The return-to-campus measure sits further below peers than the six-year completion measure.
