Marietta College SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements
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. Because ACT scores are submitted much more often than SAT scores here, aim for a 24+ ACT, or a 1230+ SAT if that is your stronger test.
