Marist places the greatest emphasis on the high school transcript. SAT/ACT scores are not required.* However, for applicants who choose to submit them, scores are usually between 1210-1360 SAT/ 26-31 ACT.

 

* International students whose native language is not English are required to submit the Test of English as a Foreign Language (T.O.E.F.L.), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or Duolingo scores.  In addition, students applying for our HEOP program are required to submit their SAT or ACT results.
