    What the numbers say about Hartwick College

    • The reported middle 50% spans 220 points, from 1070 to 1290. A planning score near or above 1330 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The reported section midpoints are 570 Reading and Writing and 550 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 70% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 53% completion rate and $61,107 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
