What the numbers say about La Verne

  • The reported middle 50% spans 250 points, from 990 to 1240. A planning score near or above 1280 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
  • The reported section midpoints are 520 Reading and Writing and 500 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
  • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 71% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
  • Reported outcomes include a 63% completion rate and $65,464 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
