How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Hobart William Smith Colleges admits about 64.0% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,190 and 1,385, and ACT scores typically fall between 28 and 32. Among enrolled undergraduates, 25.1% receive Pell Grants and 12.5% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment accounts for 15.2% of the student body. Azimuth ranks Hobart William Smith Colleges #1080 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The institution enrolls a meaningful share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students on a selective liberal arts campus. The six-year graduation rate is 77.2%, with 74.3% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window. Retention of first-year students stands at 86.4%. Azimuth ranks Hobart William Smith Colleges #657 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. For graduates from low-income backgrounds, median earnings reach $49,200 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 71.7 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The pattern reflects a selective institution that serves a modest but meaningful share of low-income and first-generation students and supports them to strong post-graduation outcomes — though the institution's admission scale means the absolute number of students who benefit from this pathway is smaller than at broad-access peers.
