Admissions Chances

Albright College, which accepts fewer than half of applicants, has a competitive admissions pool. However, Albright also has a holistic admissions process and is test-optional, and admissions decisions are based on more than numbers. The primary admission factors include high academic performance in a rigorous high school curriculum and participation in meaningful extracurricular activities. Optional application materials, including an application essay or graded paper and letters of recommendation, can strengthen your application. The college is looking for students who will contribute to the campus community in meaningful ways, not just students who show promise in the classroom. Note that Albright requires interviews for students who apply test-optional. Students with particularly compelling stories or achievements can still receive serious consideration even if their grades and scores are outside of Albright's average range.
