    The Scranton University acceptance rate stands at around 84%, suggesting the institute is somewhat selective at granting admissions to students.

    Prospective students must possess a solid resume & must have done well in school/college level academics & university entrance exams to have the best chance of securing a seat at the institute.

  • According to US News and World Report 2024, the University of Scranton acceptance rate is 84%, which means out of every 100 applications only 84 are selected, which makes it moderately competitive to get selected into the university.

    The university gives preference to students having higher grades or have exceptional academic or research experience. Hence, having higher grades increases your chance of getting selected at University of Scranton.

    Here is the list of eligibility requirements to get into US Universities.

Both Scranton & Valparaiso are popular among international students for their overall quality of education & the post-study employment opportunities they offer among some other factors.

However, both these institutions are somewhat selective when it comes to accepting admission applications, prioritising students with better qualifications. The Scranton University has an acceptance rate of around 84%, while that of Valparaiso University is 94%. Though, both are very similar in terms of accepting applications, Valparaiso is relatively easier to secure admissions to than Scranton.
