Admissions Overview
Mount St. Mary's University is less selective with a 79.57% acceptance rate. This means most students who apply get admitted, making it accessible for students with solid but not strong academic records. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1040-1250 on the SAT, with an average of 1145. These scores align with B+ students who worked hard in high school but may not have been at the very top of their class. The Mount looks for students who value Catholic liberal arts education and want a close-knit campus experience in rural Maryland. Strong character and community involvement often matter as much as test scores here.
