Careful consideration is given to the selection of applicants with greatest emphasis placed upon the applicant’s scholastic performance (academic GPA), and the quality of academic preparation (curriculum).
GPA Requirements:
We do not have a "minimum GPA requirement." This means we will consider any GPA; however, most competitive students have an academic GPA of 2.5 or higher. Our average incoming GPA is about a 3.0.
Additional Credentials:
The following credentials are not required for admission, but can influence the Admission Committee’s decision and are strongly recommended:
- Standardized testing - *SAT I, *ACT and/or TOEFL
- Letter(s) of recommendations and personal statement/essay
- Interview with an Admission Counselor
*SAT/ACT scores are used for Merit Scholarship consideration and potential waiver of placement testing for college-level Math and English courses.
Curriculum:
Although not required for admission consideration, Marymount College strongly recommends the completion of the following college preparatory curriculum pattern:
- 4 years of English
- 3 years of Mathematics (Algebra 1, Geometry and Intermediate Algebra),
