Discussion of Saint Mary's College's Admissions Standards:

Saint Mary's College in Indiana attracts strong students, and the great majority of successful applicants have grades and standardized test scores that are at least a little above average. The graph above shows data for students who were accepted, rejected, and waitlisted. Most students who were admitted had SAT scores of 1050 or higher (RW+M), an ACT composite of 21 or higher, and a high school average of a "B" or better. Having grades and test scores above these lower ranges will improve your chances of receiving an acceptance letter, and you can see that a significant percentage of admitted students had grades in the "A" range.

There are a few red dots (rejected students) and yellow dots (waitlisted students) mixed in with the green and blue in the middle of the graph—a few students with grades and test scores that were on target for Saint Mary's did not get get in. Note also that a few students were accepted with test scores and grades a bit below the norm. This is because Saint Mary's College  has holistic admissions, so the admissions decisions are based on more than numbers. Saint Mary's College uses the Common Application, and the admissions folks will be looking for a strong application essay, meaningful extracurricular activities, and positive letters of recommendation. And like most selective colleges, Saint Mary's College takes into consideration the rigor of your high school courses, not just your grades. Challenging AP, IB, and Honors courses all work to strengthen an application.
