Admissions Overview
Mercy College accepts 46% of applicants, making it moderately selective. This means qualified students with solid academic records have a reasonable chance of admission, though the school still maintains standards. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 780-1030 on the SAT, with an average of 905. These scores reflect the college's focus on admitting students who can handle rigorous health sciences coursework rather than chasing the highest test performers. The school seeks students with a genuine calling to healthcare professions, particularly nursing and allied health fields. Strong science preparation and a commitment to serving others through Catholic values will strengthen any application to this specialized institution.
