What's the admission rate like at Belmont University?

I'm considering applying to Belmont University and trying to gauge how selective it is. Can anyone share the current admission rate or any insights on how competitive it can be to get in?

Belmont University, located in Nashville, is a moderately selective institution. The most recent data, as of 2024, indicates that they have an acceptance rate of around 95%. This means that approximately 95 out of 100 applicants are admitted each year.

However, while the acceptance rate gives a general idea of the selectivity, it's also important to check the average academic profile of accepted students. Typically, admitted students at Belmont University have an average high school GPA of around 3.5. If your GPA is at or above this level, you’ll be in a strong position for admission.

Additionally, Belmont is currently test-optional, meaning you have the choice to submit your SAT or ACT scores, or not. If you believe your test scores enhance your application, feel free to submit them, but keep in mind it's not a requirement.

Remember that the admission process also takes into account factors like your extracurricular involvement and your personal essays. Make sure to present a well-rounded application showcasing your interests and commitments outside of the classroom and a compelling narrative of who you are through your writing.
