Hey guys, I'm applying to Marist College and I'm a little bit nervous about my SAT scores. What are the typical SAT scores for admitted students at Marist? Thanks in advance!
Hello! It's natural to be nervous about your SAT scores, but it's helpful to know where you stand compared to other admitted students. For Marist College, the middle 50% SAT scores (25th to 75th percentile) for admitted students currently falls within the range of 1240 to 1300. This means that 25% of admitted students score below 1240, while another 25% score above 1300.
Keep in mind that SAT scores are only one part of your college application. Marist College also takes your high school GPA, extracurricular involvement, letters of recommendation, and personal essay into consideration during the admissions process. So, even if your SAT score isn't exactly within that middle 50% range, there are other aspects of your application that can strengthen your candidacy.
The other thing you should know about Marist is that they have a test-optional admissions policy, which means if you don't want to submit your score, you don't have to.
