MTJ’s biggest signal is the gap between an 86% freshman retention rate and a 7% six-year graduation rate, so your plan should look beyond getting admitted to how you will finish. Because MTJ is test-optional and admits about 60% of applicants, submit SAT or ACT scores only if they clearly strengthen your academic profile.
