Admitted Student Test Scores (Class of 2028)

The middle 50% of enrolled students scored:[1]

• SAT (combined mid-50%): 1240–1380 (EBRW 630–690, Math 610–690)
• ACT composite (mid-50%): 25–31

The combined SAT range is the sum of the two section ranges, not a true composite percentile.

Auburn Yield Rate

Of the 25,284 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 6,103 enrolled, a yield rate of 24.1%.[1] Yield is what the university is really managing when it sets an admit rate, so it moves the acceptance rate more than application volume does.

Class	Admitted	Enrolled	Yield
2028	25,284	6,103	24.1%
2027	24,329	5,935	24.4%
2026	19,988	5,303	26.5%
2025	15,177	5,311	35.0%
2024	14,640	4,947	33.8%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2026–2028) the acceptance rate at Auburn has sat between 43.7%–50.5%.

That band is what the school has actually done recently, not a prediction. A single cycle can break it: a change to testing policy, a new direct-admission program, or a jump in application volume moves the rate more than any trend would.
