Belmont University Admissions

Belmont maintains an open admission policy with a 96% acceptance rate, meaning nearly all applicants who meet basic requirements will be admitted. The middle 50% of students score between 1150-1340 on the SAT or around 27 on the ACT, though these scores aren't barriers to admission. Students from out-of-state make up 73% of enrollment, drawn by Nashville's music scene and industry connections. The school seeks creative students passionate about music, entertainment, and the arts, particularly those wanting hands-on experience in Music City. Strong academics matter, but Belmont values artistic talent and industry ambition over perfect test scores.
