Carleton (Northfield, MN) admits about 20% of applicants overall. But the overall rate isn’t your rate. QuantAdmit computes a personalized admission probability from your GPA, SAT/ACT, and course rigor — so you see where you actually stand, not just the school-wide average.
The 20% acceptance rate treats every applicant the same. Your real chances depend on your numbers. Build a profile, then run your personalized admission probability — Carleton against your GPA, test scores, and rigor.
An acceptance rate of 20% is a single average across the whole applicant pool. A student well above the admitted SAT band (1450–1560) and GPA norms has meaningfully higher odds than that average; a student below it has lower odds. QuantAdmit estimates your probability from your own GPA, SAT/ACT, and course rigor — not the headline number. Odds are estimates, not guarantees, and admissions decisions weigh essays, recommendations, and other factors this model doesn’t capture.
