Marietta’s 79% acceptance rate means admission is realistic for many prepared students, but its test-required policy makes your score a concrete part of the process.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because Marietta requires test scores, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year. Use the summer before senior year and an early fall retake to improve your superscore, and treat that early fall test as the last safe option for Marietta’s Early Action deadline.
