Auburn 2019 Admissions Statistics: Class of 2023

Auburn’s acceptance rate in 2019 was 83.9%. For students applying to the class of 2023, out of 17,970 applicants, Auburn admitted about 15,077. The average GPA of admitted applicants was 3.83, the average ACT score was 27, and the average SAT score was 1250.

For students who took the ACT, the 25th percentile score of successful applicants was 24, and the 75th percentile score was 30.

If you’re somewhere in the middle of these numbers, remember that a high test score can compensate for a slightly lower GPA, and vice versa. If you’re at the lower end, it helps if you’re a diverse applicant, the child of an alum, or have incredible personal achievements. Still, at the 25th percentile, your chances of getting in are in the low single digits.

Other aspects of your application, such as athletics, extracurricular and recommendations, are important, but will likely only make a difference for admission if you’re in the 75th percentile range for your GPA and SAT/ACT scores.

As we said, admission to Auburn is very competitive. Even if Auburn is your dream school, and even if you’re in the 75th percentile, you’ll still want to make sure you apply to a wide variety of schools to ensure you’ll gain admission somewhere.

Generally, you should have at least three safety schools (where you are in the 75th percentile of GPA/test scores), three reach schools (where you are in the 25th percentile of GPA/test scores) and three target schools (where you are near the average for GPA/test scores) on your list.

OK, so you’ve decided to apply. We took a look at Auburn’s admissions requirements to help you get everything in order.
