Seton Hall University
South Orange, NJ
What are your chances of getting into Seton Hall University?
Seton Hall University is a private Catholic university in South Orange, New Jersey, with a suburban 58-acre main campus and fast access to New York City. It is known for blending a career-oriented education with a close-knit campus culture, especially through strengths in business, diplomacy and international relations, nursing and health sciences, and pre-law pathways. The Stillman School of Business and the School of Diplomacy stand out for their professional focus, internships, and connections to the New York and New Jersey job market. Academically, it tends to attract students who want a solid mid-sized university with structured support rather than a huge, impersonal environment. Campus life is active, with many student organizations, Division I athletics, and a residential feel for many first-year students. Students who thrive here are usually self-motivated, professionally minded, and comfortable taking advantage of the university’s Catholic identity and its urban-suburban location.

Is this the most accurate college admissions calculator?+
Counselly's chances calculator runs on real, current admissions data, the actual admit rates and SAT/ACT ranges colleges report to the U.S. Department of Education, not averages scraped from forums. Our algorithm weighs your GPA, test scores, and extracurricular strength against each school's admitted-student profile the way an admissions reader would begin, which makes it one of the most reliable free tools for seeing where you'll get into college.
How does the calculator predict my chances of getting in?+
It compares your academic profile to each college's real admitted class. We look at where your GPA and test scores fall within a school's 25th to 75th percentile range, combine that with the school's overall admit rate, and factor in your extracurricular strength, then translate it into a clear percentage and a Safety, Match, or Reach label. Everything recalculates instantly as you add schools or adjust your stats.
What counts as a good chance of getting into a college?+
Roughly above 60% is a Safety, you're comfortably ahead of the typical admitted student. Around 30 to 60% is a Match, realistic and worth prioritizing. Below 30% is a Reach, still absolutely worth applying to if it's a dream school. The strongest college lists balance all three, and Counselly helps you build exactly that kind of list.
Which colleges can I check my admission chances for?+
Hundreds of US colleges and universities, from Ivy League schools to large public flagships to smaller private colleges. Just start typing, MIT, UCLA, NYU, Michigan, and pick from the suggestions.

Can a calculator really tell me where I will get accepted?+
