Here is how to get into Springfield College, built from what its admitted class actually looks like and what the school says it weighs.

For the fall 2023 entering class, Springfield College received 3,614 applications and admitted 2,538, an acceptance rate of 70.2%. 476 enrolled. Only about 19% of admitted students enrolled, so the school admits several students for every seat it expects to fill, which is why its acceptance rate reads higher than its selectivity feels. Springfield College enrolls about 1,751 undergraduates in total, 48% of them women, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 11 to 1.

The middle 50% of admitted students at Springfield College scored between 1080 and 1330 on the SAT (average 1275). On the ACT the middle 50% runs from 27 to 29. A score above 1330 puts you in the top quarter of admits and turns the test into an asset; a score below 1080 puts you in the bottom quarter, where the rest of the application has to carry more weight. Springfield College is test-optional: scores are considered if you submit them but not required. Send a score at or above the middle of the admitted range; otherwise apply without one and let your transcript lead.

Acceptance rate, application counts, admitted test ranges, cost, and outcomes reflect publicly reported federal data (U.S. Department of Education: IPEDS 2023 and the College Scorecard) and each school's Common Data Set; figures are rounded and lag the current cycle by one to two years, so confirm deadlines and policies on the school's own site. The typical-admit GPA and SAT are CollegeCalcAI's modeled estimates. Estimates from CollegeCalcAI are a planning tool computed by a fixed, transparent model, not a guarantee of any admission decision.
