What SAT and ACT scores do Marywood University students report?
Among enrolled students who submitted scores, the middle 50% of SAT results runs from 1,060 to 1,250, and the middle 50% of ACT results runs from 18 to 30. These ranges describe the scores of recent enrolled students who chose to submit them, not a cutoff for admission.
An applicant can compare their own results with Marywood's 1,060 to 1,250 SAT range and 18 to 30 ACT range to see where they sit among recent score submitters.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Marywood University serves an undergraduate body that includes Pell Grant recipients and people who arrive after beginning college elsewhere. Among its 1,784 undergraduates, 32.0% receive Pell Grants, a federal financial-access measure, and an estimated 16.0% enter after beginning coursework at another institution.
These figures describe enrolled undergraduates, not admission priorities or any applicant’s odds. This mix shows that the university serves federal grant recipients alongside people continuing college work begun elsewhere.
Marywood University retains a substantial share of its full-time, bachelor’s-seeking first-year cohort: 79.8% return for another year. That rate is above the peer median, the middle value for comparable institutions (same type and size), of 74.2%.
For the first-time, full-time cohort, 71.7% complete within six years, compared with a peer median of 54.9%. Pell recipients’ six-year completion rate is 62.4%, below the overall rate by 9.3 percentage points.
Enrolled students can expect these measures to describe reported cohort patterns rather than an individual timetable. The above-peer retention and graduation figures coexist with a lower completion rate for Pell recipients.
