How to read these numbers
- The 2024 rate covers Fitchburg State University's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
- 1060–1230 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1060, and a quarter scored above 1230.
- The table above holds 12 reported years, 2013 through 2024. Across them Fitchburg State University's rate ranged from 72.1% to 89.9%, 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.
