University of Mount Union admitted 78.2% of applicants, a rate above the median of 75.7% for comparable institutions (same type and size).

What SAT and ACT scores do University of Mount Union students report?
At University of Mount Union, submitted test scores offer context on enrolled score submitters rather than a threshold for admission. Applicants weighing SAT results can use the university’s middle 50% range, from the twenty-fifth through seventy-fifth percentile, of 910 to 1,240 among enrolled students who submitted SAT scores.
For ACT submitters, the corresponding middle 50% ran from 18 to 25; applicants can use that range as context for recent enrolled ACT submitters. Read together, the ranges describe submitted scores within the enrolled class, not minimums or a prediction of an admission decision.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Federal grant aid is part of the undergraduate picture at University of Mount Union, where 27.8% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. The university has 1,995 undergraduates, and an estimated 10.8% arrive as transfers, so its undergraduate population includes both people starting their degree there and people continuing college work begun elsewhere.
These figures describe who attends, rather than how the university evaluates applications. Pell-eligible and transfer applicants should use the site’s cost calculator and review transfer-credit information for their intended field before deciding where to apply.
For students who enter full time, completion runs ahead of the benchmark for comparable institutions. University of Mount Union has a 58.7% six-year graduation rate for its first-time full-time cohort, compared with 54.9% at institutions in the same type and size.
Its 76.7% first-year retention rate also exceeds the 74.2% peer median. Pell recipients in the first-time full-time cohort have a 55.0% six-year completion rate, below the overall rate by 3.7 percentage points.
Enrolled students can expect retention and overall completion figures that sit above the peer benchmarks, with a lower completion rate for Pell recipients.
