Pratt Institute-Main

Getting in is the hard part. Pratt Institute-Main admitted 73.3% of applicants in its most recent reported class, one of the lowest rates in the country. Realistically it is a reach for every applicant, no matter how strong.

Admitted students cluster near the top of the testing range: the middle 50% score 1150–1390 on the SAT and 26–31 on the ACT. Scores at or above that band keep you in contention, but they do not decide it.
