How to interpret the acceptance rate
Taylor University’s admission outcome sits close to the comparable-institution midpoint, with a somewhat higher admitted share. Its admission rate of 73.5% is above the median of 71.2% for comparable institutions (same type and size).
What SAT and ACT scores do Taylor University students report?
Taylor University’s submitted-score ranges offer context for recent enrollees, not admission thresholds. Applicants should compare their results with the university’s middle-half range for enrolled score submitters: SAT scores from 1,070 through 1,330 and ACT scores from 24 through 31.
These figures describe enrolled students who submitted scores, rather than every enrolled student, and they do not set minimums. Because the ranges come only from people who sent scores, they show the observed spread within that reporting group.
They provide a reference point for an application list, not a prediction of an individual admission decision.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Taylor University’s undergraduate enrollment includes a limited share of Pell Grant recipients and an estimated transfer-in presence. Of 2,025 undergraduates, 13.5% receive Pell Grants, a federal grant-aid measure, and an estimated 8.0% entered after beginning coursework elsewhere.
This composition describes a campus centered largely on students arriving through the first-time route, alongside students using federal grant aid and those continuing studies as transfers.
Students who start at Taylor University tend to stay and finish. The first-year retention rate is 89.3%, and the six-year graduation rate for the first-time full-time cohort is 73.8%.
Both figures run above the medians for comparable institutions, where retention is 83.4% and completion is 68.8%. Pell Grant recipients complete at 71.5%, which is 2.3 percentage points below the overall rate.
The Pell completion rate itself sits above the peer median for overall completion. An enrolled student can expect a campus where most classmates return and graduate, and where Pell recipients complete at a rate that exceeds the peer median for all students.
