How to read these numbers
- The 2025 rate covers University of Arkansas's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
- 1030–1220 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1030, and a quarter scored above 1220.
- The table above holds 13 reported years, 2013 through 2025. Across them University of Arkansas's rate ranged from 58.6% to 82.7%, 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.
