Acceptance Rate39.9%

Ohlone’s low public tuition does not mean admission is automatic, so treat the 39.9% admit rate as a reason to make every academic piece count. Because Ohlone is test-optional, you can choose whether to submit scores, but a strong SAT or ACT result can still strengthen your application.
