How to interpret the acceptance rate
Franklin College admitted 69.8% of applicants in the reported entering class, a rate below the median of 75.7% for comparable institutions (same type and size). That comparison describes how the reported admission outcome differs from similar institutions, not a prediction for an individual applicant.
What SAT and ACT scores do Franklin College students report?
Franklin College offers score ranges that give applicants a reference point, not an admissions threshold. Applicants should use the college’s SAT range of 1,060 to 1,240 as context for recent enrolled score submitters; the span covers the middle half, from the twenty-fifth through seventy-fifth percentiles.
The ACT range for enrolled score submitters was 20 to 26, also marking the middle half of submitted results. Because these figures describe only people who enrolled and submitted scores, they do not set a minimum or describe every member of the entering class.
The ranges below describe enrolled students who submitted test scores at Franklin College. Use them as academic context, then check the university’s current testing policy for your application cycle.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Federal grant aid is part of the enrollment picture at Franklin College, where 36.4% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. The university enrolls 900 undergraduates, and an estimated 8.9% arrive as transfers or part-time students.
That mix describes a campus serving both aid recipients and people continuing coursework begun elsewhere; it does not state admission priorities. These figures describe who attends rather than the chance of admission for any applicant.
Franklin College’s completion record compares more favorably with peers than its first-year retention figure does, giving enrolled students two different persistence signals to weigh. For the first-time full-time cohort, the six-year graduation rate is 60.3%, against a peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), of 54.9%.
The first-year retention rate is 72.9% for full-time bachelor’s-seeking entrants, compared with 74.2% at the peer median. Pell recipients in that cohort have a six-year completion rate of 64.0%, above the overall rate by 3.7 percentage points.
Enrolled students can expect these measures to describe patterns across entering cohorts rather than an individual path. Graduation runs ahead of the comparison group, while first-year retention falls short of it.
