Was lucky to be accepted.
Recommend that you've been a member of the H.S. National Honor Society, Ranked in the Top 25 of your H.S. graduating class, score above average on SAT, proven record of Volunteerism, possibly your Religious background/ faith and how you express and conduct yourself as a respectful, kind, caring, do for others type of person (wealthy kids know how to pretend or act this out as many are snobs/ spoiled brats). Write a very good essay but be careful not to use too many adjectives and don't use glamorous fancy words. Be direct and concise, be honest about things you've done and highlight your primary accomplishments. Getting into Marist is much easier than it may of been 10 years ago as they are accepting 5 to 7 percent more than they once did. Up from 33 percent to almost 40 percent. Remember the bottom line is all about money.Value of your education from Marist might be less than average but it depends on few factors like your Major, course selections, the Professor, and what you desire tho learn.

“The school is not super difficult to get into

Sep 17 2014Art & Design Department
The school is not super difficult to get into. do well on your SATs and work hard in high school. For the fashion merchandising department, they do require a separate essay to submit. Think critically in this essay and provide a well organized paper. Really make yourself stand out, most of the students are very similar in terms of background and past school experience. make yourself stand out.

“To get into Marist, I simply applied and filled

Jul 02 2012Other
To get into Marist, I simply applied and filled out all of the essay portions. For the Class of 2015, we were not required to submit any SAT or ACT scores. On the other hand, I would recommend for the students to provide strong recommendation letters and admission essays. In addition to this, the Admissions Department searches for a diverse and well rounded student populations, so be sure to be involved in many clubs and activities during your senior year in high school. And be sure to definitely keep your grades up! To be accepted into the fashion department, I had to submit a sequence of essays and an entry project that related to the elements and functions of the industry.

If you know Marist is perfect for you, apply early decision! I was done with the college process when all my friends were racing to do college essays and applications. Everyone thought I was crazy, but I wouldn't have done it any other way.

“I just did well in school academically

Jun 07 2012Biology
I just did well in school academically. I wasn't involved in a whole bunch of different extracurricular activities. I had a few things that I was really passionate about that demonstrated many sides of my character. I would suggest to do both of these things and have a really good essay that shows a part of yourself to the admissions committee.
