Discussion of Wheaton's Admissions Standards

Wheaton College is a selective Christian liberal arts college in Illinois. Roughly two out of every three applicants will be admitted, and successful applicants will need strong grades and standardized test scores. In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students. As you can see, most students who are admitted to Wheaton College tend to have an A- or higher GPA, SAT scores of 1200 or higher, and an ACT composite score of 25 or higher.

In the center of the scattergram, you'll notice a lot of yellow (waitlisted students) and red (rejected students) mixed in with the green and blue -- quite a few students with grades and test scores that were on target for Wheaton still got rejected. Note also that a few students were accepted with test scores and grades below the norm. This is because Wheaton College has holistic admissions -- the admissions officers are evaluating students based on more than numerical data. A rigorous high school curriculum, strong essays, and interesting extracurricular activities all contribute to a successful application. Applicants also need to have two letters of recommendation -- one academic, one pastoral. You can strengthen your application further by doing an optional interview. Note that art majors are encouraged to submit a portfolio, and Conservatory of Music applicants must audition.
