    What the numbers say about Palm Beach Atlantic PBA

    • The reported middle 50% spans 270 points, from 950 to 1220. A planning score near or above 1260 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The reported section midpoints are 580 Reading and Writing and 560 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 82% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 55% completion rate and $49,232 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
