How to interpret the acceptance rate

With an admission rate of 77.7%, SUNY at Fredonia admitted a broad share of applicants in the reported entering class. That rate is below the median of 85.9% for comparable institutions (same type and size), so admission occurred less often here than across that peer group.

## What SAT and ACT scores do SUNY at Fredonia students report?

At SUNY at Fredonia, submitted-score ranges offer context for applicants rather than minimums for admission. Applicants with SAT scores can compare them with the middle half of scores submitted by enrolled students, which ran from 1,160 through 1,370.

Applicants using the ACT can make the same comparison against the middle half of submitted scores, from 23 to 28. These figures describe the enrolled students who chose to submit each test, so they indicate the score profile of those submitters without determining an individual admission decision.

About these student measures

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

SUNY at Fredonia serves an undergraduate population that includes many Pell Grant recipients and a notable share of people arriving through transfer. Pell Grant recipients make up 38.8% of undergraduates, a financial-access measure, and the estimated share of entrants outside the first-time, full-time group is 17.4%.

Undergraduate enrollment stands at 2,755 undergraduates. This mix suggests a campus where some undergraduates use grant aid and others bring prior college experience.

Pell-eligible and transfer applicants should compare aid offers carefully and ask how previously completed coursework may count toward their intended field.

At SUNY at Fredonia, 76.2% of the full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year cohort returns for a second year, above the 73.7% median for comparable institutions. Completion is close to that peer comparison as well: the first-time full-time cohort’s [six-year graduation rate](/analysis/what-the-graduation-rate-doesnt-count/) is 50.2%, above the comparable-institution median of 49.1%.

Pell Grant recipients in the first-time full-time cohort have a six-year completion rate of 49.3%, below the overall rate by 0.9 percentage points. Enrolled students can expect return and overall completion measures that sit above comparable institutions, with Pell completion slightly lower than the overall result.
