How to read these numbers

  • The 2024 rate covers Fisk University's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
  • 1140–1510 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1140, and a quarter scored above 1510.
  • The table above holds 12 reported years, 2013 through 2024. Across them Fisk University's rate ranged from 37.4% to 93.4%, so any single year is one point inside that range.

Each figure above describes a class a school already admitted in a completed cycle. It is a record of who was admitted, not a measurement of any one application.
