Source: College Scorecard · Fall 2024 admissions. Acceptance rates can change from year to year; this figure does not predict the current or next admission cycle.

How to interpret the acceptance rate

At University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, 95.8% of applicants were admitted, so the reported outcome covers most of that year's applicant pool. That rate is above the median of 71.2% for comparable institutions (same type and size).

## What SAT and ACT scores do University of Mary Hardin-Baylor students report?

Applicants can use University of Mary Hardin-Baylor's submitted-score ranges as context: the SAT middle half runs from 960 to 1,200, and the ACT middle half runs from 19 to 26. These ranges describe enrolled students who submitted each test, not every member of the entering class.

For both exams, the middle half covers results from the twenty-fifth through the seventy-fifth percentile of submitted scores, so they are not admission minimums or cutoffs. Compare an SAT or ACT result with the relevant range, while considering that it summarizes recent enrolled score submitters rather than setting a required score.

The ranges below describe enrolled students who submitted test scores at University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. Use them as academic context, then check the university’s current testing policy for your application cycle.

About these student measures

The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.

Federal grant aid is part of the undergraduate picture at University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, where 39.6% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Undergraduate enrollment is 2,759, and an estimated 19.9% of the student body arrives as transfers or part-time students.

The mix suggests a campus with both students using Pell support and students continuing studies begun elsewhere, rather than a single common route into undergraduate study. These figures describe who attends, not how the university makes admission decisions or any applicant’s odds.

At University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, returning after the first year and finishing within six years both occur less often than at comparable institutions. Pell recipients in the first-time full-time cohort have a six-year completion rate of 50.7%, above the overall rate of 49.3% by 1.4 percentage points.

That overall [six-year graduation rate](/analysis/what-the-graduation-rate-doesnt-count/) is below the peer median of 68.8% for comparable institutions (same type and size). First-year retention for full-time bachelor’s-seeking entrants is 62.4%, below its peer median of 83.4%. Both schoolwide measures sit below their comparable-institution medians.
