    What Lycoming College looks for

    Lycoming College 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 Lycoming College?

      Lycoming College's middle 50% SAT range is 1080 to 1300. 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 is the acceptance rate at Lycoming College?

      Lycoming College admits roughly 74% of applicants. An acceptance rate above 40% means a strong application can land here without high-end stats.

    • What does Lycoming College actually cost after financial aid?

      Average net cost (after institutional aid) is about $19,140 per year. Net cost varies enormously by family income; run the school's net price calculator for an estimate that reflects your situation.

    • Is Lycoming College 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 Lycoming College 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.
