Christian Brothers University SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements
Christian Brothers admits most applicants, but the class is not academically automatic: the average entering GPA is 3.63, and the middle ACT range is 19 to 24. Since 59% submit ACT scores here, aim for a 24 or higher if you test, or use test-optional if your score does not strengthen your record.

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Christian Brothers, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year so you can use summer and fall for retakes and superscoring. Since Christian Brothers does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, plan fall retakes around the Regular Decision timeline rather than the May 1 financial aid priority date.
