    About East Carolina University

    East Carolina University is a mid-sized public university in Greenville, NC, in a city setting.

    What East Carolina University looks for

    East Carolina University admits the majority of applicants who meet its baseline academic profile. For most students applying here, the work is in writing applications that reflect real fit rather than treating the application as a checklist. Demonstrated interest matters more here than at the most selective schools. Visiting, attending an info session, and asking real questions of admissions all move the needle.

    Frequently asked

    • What SAT score do I need for East Carolina University?

      East Carolina University's middle 50% SAT range is 1070 to 1240. A score in or above that band keeps you in the conversation; below it, the rest of your application has to do more work.

    • What ACT score do I need for East Carolina University?

      Middle 50% ACT range is 21 to 26. The top of that range or above is what most admitted students submit when they choose to send a score.

    • What is the acceptance rate at East Carolina University?

      East Carolina University admits roughly 89% of applicants. An acceptance rate above 40% means a strong application can land here without high-end stats.

    • What does East Carolina University actually cost after financial aid?

      Average net cost (after institutional aid) is about $15,739 per year. Net cost varies enormously by family income; run the school's net price calculator for an estimate that reflects your situation.

    • Is East Carolina University a reach, match, or safety for me?

      Compare your stats to the middle 50% above. If you are at or below the 25th percentile, treat East Carolina University as a reach. If you are in the middle 50%, it is a match. Above the 75th percentile and the school accepts above 25% overall, it is closer to a safety. Selectivity below 20% should be treated as a reach for everyone, period.
