Marymount University SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements

SAT RangeN/A
ACT RangeN/A
Average GPA3.30
Acceptance Rate93.2%

The number to pause on is Marymount’s 9% six-year graduation rate, not its 93% acceptance rate. Because admission is accessible for many applicants, your strategy should focus on fit, academic support, and affordability. Use the test-optional policy thoughtfully, and submit scores only if they make your academic profile stronger.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Marymount, take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for superscore-focused retakes. Marymount does not list an ED, EA, or Regular Decision deadline here, so confirm your application due date before relying on a late fall retake.
