Hey! So, I was looking at St. Mary's College as a potential option. Could anyone give me an idea of what their acceptance rate is like, and how competitive it is to get in?
Sure thing! It'd be helpful to know which St. Mary's College you are referring to since there are multiple colleges with that name in different states. I'll provide information on two of the more well-known St. Mary's Colleges: one in Maryland and one in Indiana.
St. Mary's College of Maryland has an acceptance rate of around 77%. This means that this college is less competitive when compared to more selective institutions. It offers a liberal arts education and has been honored as a Public Ivy, providing an Ivy League quality of education at a public school price.
On the other hand, St. Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana has an acceptance rate of approximately 81%. This is an all-women's college that offers more than 30 different majors for students.
As always, acceptance rate is just one factor to consider when applying to colleges. You should also consider the academic rigor, culture, extracurricular offerings, among other factors.
