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 of 3.2 (87) 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
  • 2 years of Social Sciences
  • 1 year of American History
  • 2 years of a foreign language

SAT/ACT scores, while not as important as the high school transcript, are usually 1650 SAT (550 Critical Reading, 550 Math, 550 Writing)/ 25 ACT or higher.
