Admissions Overview
Loyola University Maryland maintains an open admission policy with an 83% acceptance rate. This means most qualified applicants gain admission, though you'll still need solid academics to succeed once enrolled. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1180-1360 on the SAT or around 30 on the ACT. The school seeks students who value Jesuit ideals of academic excellence paired with social responsibility. Strong candidates often demonstrate leadership potential and community service experience. Loyola particularly attracts students interested in business, communications, and liberal arts who want small class sizes with a 12:1 student-faculty ratio. The admissions committee looks for students ready to embrace the motto "strong truths well lived."
