About admissions at Harvey Mudd College

Harvey Mudd College accepts about 12.7% of applicants, placing it among the most competitive schools in the country. At this level, strong grades and scores are the baseline — your essays, activities, and overall story are what actually separate admits from denials.

Admitted students typically score between 1500 and 1570 on the SAT, or 34–36 on the ACT. Falling below that range doesn’t disqualify you — it means the rest of your application needs to carry more weight.

The number that actually matters isn’t this school’s average — it’s how your specific application measures up. That’s what IvyscoreAI tells you.
