## What SAT and ACT scores do enrolled Florida Polytechnic University students report?

In its 2024-25 Common Data Set, the university reported a middle range of SAT scores from 1170 to 1340 among enrolled first-year students who submitted scores. That range describes the 72% of the entering class who provided SAT results.

An applicant can place their own scores against the university's 1170 to 1340 SAT range and 21 to 26 ACT range as one point of context, not as a threshold.

About these student measures

The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.

An estimated 18.9% of entrants arrive as transfers or part-time students. The campus includes students who began coursework elsewhere.

In its 2024-25 Common Data Set, the university reported 208 degree-seeking transfer applicants, of whom 130 were admitted and 80 enrolled. The university enrolls 1,689 undergraduates.

Of those, 32.6% receive Pell Grants. The student body brings together transfer students, first-year entrants, and federal grant recipients within a public university.

Florida Polytechnic University returns 74.8% of its first-year, full-time bachelor's-seeking students for a second year. That sits above the peer median of 73.4% for comparable institutions.

The peer median is the middle value for comparable institutions of the same type and size. The [six-year graduation rate](/analysis/what-the-graduation-rate-doesnt-count/) is 54.9% for the first-time full-time cohort.

That figure also exceeds the peer median of 43.5% for comparable institutions. Both measures point above their respective peer medians.

A student who enrolls full time can expect retention and graduation results that sit above the norm for the peer group.
