In its 2025-26 report, Covenant College says 1,077 first-year students applied and 803 were admitted, an acceptance rate of 75%. 324 admitted students enrolled (40% yield). Enrolled students who sent scores had a middle-50% SAT of 1150–1360 and ACT of 24–30.
How the class gets assembled.
This school does not report an Early Decision lane, so the flow collapses to the school-reported applicant, admit, and enrolled totals.
Each column is scaled within that stage. Labels show exact counts.
Exact admission data
| Path | Applicants | Admitted | Admit rate | Class seats | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All applicants | 1,077 | 803 | 75% | 324 | School-reported totals. |
Application fee: $35. Fee waivers are reported as available.
This school marks applicant interest as Considered. Read yield and wait-list behavior with that policy in mind.
Federal outcomes
Federal data from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard, vintage 2022-23. Outcomes reflect earlier cohorts than the CDS year shown elsewhere on this page.
Nonpayment is the share of Direct Loan borrowers who entered repayment January 2020–May 2025 and were 90+ days delinquent at the FSA pull. It is not the official cohort default rate.
