The college has an acceptance rate of around 13%, thus it can be said it is certainly not easy to land a seat at the institute. Although from 2021 Harvey has adopted the test optional policy where it does not require SAT/ACT scores for admission but admitted students typically have high SAT or ACT scores. The college does not have a minimum GPA requirement but the students admitted mostly have GPAs higher than 3.
