About admissions at Howard University

Howard University accepts about 41.3% of applicants. Applicants with a reasonable profile have good odds, though a sharp application still improves your chances.

Admitted students typically score between 1090 and 1320 on the SAT, or 22–28 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.
