SAT Range1030 to 1320
ACT Range20 to 27
Average GPAN/A
Acceptance Rate70.7%

With a 70.7% acceptance rate, your first decision is whether scores add strength, not whether Walsh is out of reach. Because Walsh is test-optional and score submission is limited, send results only if they are clearly helpful, around a 1320 SAT or 27 ACT, while keeping grades and course rigor central.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

Walsh is test-optional, so use this timeline only if you choose to submit SAT or ACT scores. Plan to take your first test by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes and potential superscoring. Because the December 1 financial aid priority deadline is not a score deadline, confirm Walsh’s application timeline before choosing your final fall retake.
