What SAT and ACT scores do University of Redlands students report?
Submitted SAT and ACT scores place the academic profile in a range rather than setting a floor for admission. Applicants should use the SAT range from 1,107 to 1,350 as context: it covers the middle fifty percent of enrolled students who submitted that test.
The corresponding ACT range for enrolled submitters was 21 to 28, also covering the middle fifty percent of scores. These ranges describe score submitters only, not all enrolled students, and do not establish a minimum score or predict an admission decision.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
University of Redlands enrolls 2,049 undergraduates, with Pell Grant recipients making up 36.4% of that population. An estimated 19.4% of undergraduates entered as transfers or part-time students, so the campus includes both students beginning their bachelor’s education there and those continuing work started elsewhere.
That mix describes who attends, not how the university makes admission decisions or any applicant’s prospects. The enrollment picture points to more than one common route into the university.
At University of Redlands, 84.0% of full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year students return. That figure is above the peer median of 83.4% for comparable institutions (same type and size).
Completion tells a different story. The six-year graduation rate for the first-time full-time cohort is 67.3%, below the comparable-institution median of 68.8%.
Pell recipients in that cohort have a six-year completion rate of 63.4%, below the overall rate by 3.9 percentage points. Enrolled students can expect relatively strong first-year continuation, with six-year completion less favorable against the peer benchmark.
Retention runs above peers, but completion and Pell completion point to a more mixed longer-term picture.
