Admission Criteria

A student interested in applying to Marist College should rank in the top half of their graduating class and hold a recalculated average between 3.1-3.7 or better. The quality and difficulty level of each class is taken into account as well. Leadership qualities and high school activities are also important. Candidates should meet the following minimum requirements:

• 4 years of English
• 3 years of Science
• 3 years of Math
• 3 years of History/Social Studies
• 2 years of a foreign language

SAT/ACT scores, while not as important as the high school transcript, are usually between 1710-1910 SAT/ 24-28 ACT or higher.
