How to interpret the acceptance rate
At Norwich University, 74.4% of applicants were admitted, so the school admitted most applicants in that reported pool as a group. The rate is above the median of 71.2% for comparable institutions (same type and size).
What SAT and ACT scores do Norwich University students report?
Submitted SAT scores at Norwich University place the middle half of enrolled score submitters between 1,060 and 1,320, offering context rather than an admission threshold. The range covers the twenty-fifth through seventy-fifth percentiles among enrolled students who submitted SAT scores.
It does not describe every enrolled student or set a minimum score for admission. Applicants should compare their SAT result with the university's own 1,060 through 1,320 range while building an application list. These figures are a reference point for recent enrolled score submitters.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Norwich University has an undergraduate population that includes federal grant recipients and an estimated transfer presence. The university has 2,428 undergraduates, a count that sets the scale for these shares.
Of those undergraduates, 24.4% receive Pell Grants. An estimated 26.8% are transfer-in, meaning the figure describes an estimated portion of the undergraduate body rather than a measured transfer count.
These figures portray attendance through more than one route: students using Pell Grants and students continuing coursework begun at another institution. The composition figures do not state admission priorities or predict an individual admission decision.
Norwich University’s retention and completion figures sit below the corresponding peer medians, making the persistence picture weaker than its comparable-institution benchmarks. Among full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year students, 79.3% return for a second year, below the peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), of 83.4%.
The first-time full-time cohort has a six-year graduation rate of 60.2%, below the peer median of 68.8%. Pell recipients in that cohort complete within six years at 60.3%, above the overall rate by 0.1 percentage points.
Enrolled students can expect these rates to describe cohort outcomes rather than guarantee an individual result. Retention and completion both trail their peer medians, while Pell completion is marginally above the overall rate.
