The questions international applicants ask
What are La Roche University's application deadlines for 2026–27?
La Roche University admits on a rolling basis for 2026–27: there's no single deadline, and it answers applications as they come in, so applying early is safer.
What is La Roche University's acceptance rate?
75.8% for students who started in fall 2024: La Roche University admitted 1,497 of its 1,976 first-year applicants.
- The rate covers all first-year applicants, US and international: the federal data doesn't give a separate rate for international applicants.

Does La Roche University require the SAT or ACT for international applicants?
It depends. La Roche University requires SAT or ACT scores from some applicants or programs only for 2026–27, and its testing page says which.
- This is the policy listed for all first-year applicants. Some universities treat international students differently, so confirm it on the testing page.
What SAT score do you need for La Roche University?
The middle half of first-year students who enrolled in fall 2024 and sent SAT scores had 460–600 in Math and 480–600 in Reading and Writing (16% of them sent SAT scores).
- On the ACT, the middle half had a composite of 15–22.
- If your score is above the middle of these ranges, it helps your application. At a test-optional university, a score below the lower number usually isn't worth sending.
- US Department of Education (IPEDS). Fall 2024 admissions (provisional release): 25th to 75th percentile of enrolled first-year students who submitted scores. Source
