In its 2024-25 Common Data Set, the university reported 8,860 first-year applicants and 4,212 admitted applicants. Rollins College admitted 47.5% of applicants, below the median of 71.2% for comparable institutions (same type and size).
What SAT and ACT scores do enrolled Rollins College students report?
In its 2024-25 Common Data Set, Rollins College reported an average high-school GPA of 3.46 among enrolled first-year students who reported a GPA. That average describes reported academic records, not an admission cutoff.
Applicants should place their own SAT score beside the university’s 1210 through 1340 range: it covers the middle half of enrolled score submitters, and 25% submitted SAT scores. ACT submitters’ middle-half range ran from 25 to 30, with 15% of enrolled first-year students submitting ACT scores.
Among first-year students with a reported class rank, 22% were in the upper tenth of their high-school class and 54% were in the upper quarter. The GPA, score, and rank figures describe the academic records reported by enrolled students, rather than minimums for admission.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Rollins College draws undergraduates through both first-year and transfer entry. In its 2024-25 Common Data Set, the university reported 456 degree-seeking transfer applicants, 244 admitted, and 98 enrolled.
Undergraduate enrollment is 2,631 undergraduates; 22.9% receive Pell Grants, and an estimated 14.5% enter as transfers or part-time students. These figures describe a student body that includes grant recipients and people continuing college after prior study, rather than only first-time entrants.
Pell-eligible and transfer applicants should compare aid offers, confirm how prior coursework may apply, and ask about support available after enrollment at the college.
Of students who start full time, 85.2% return after the first year. That rate sits above the 83.4% median for comparable institutions.
The six-year graduation rate is 75.0%, also above the peer median of 68.8%. Pell Grant recipients in the first-time full-time cohort complete at 70.0%.
This rate falls below the overall six-year rate by 5.0 percentage points. Pell recipients finish within a few points of the cohort as a whole.
