Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Applying Advice: Apply early as possible. There are certain scholarships that have a deadline. Scholarships Advice: Keep up GPA, work hard on SATs (they do matter), volunteer alot, and take APs/honors if possible. ------As of this year Marywood has a scholarship called Marywood Scholars its $20,000 a year ($80,000 overall). To get this you need a GPA of 3.5 in high school and 1200 or higher in SATs. SATs/ACTs: Sudy for SATs- instead of cramming just do one or two problems a day. Take advantage of any prep classes/tutors. ACTs- Take the ACTs if you can. They cannot hurt you. Many people do better on them than the SATs. Plus, it will look good if you have both. Though, it is not necessary.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Marywood University is perfect for student who love to community service and like to learn about different subjects. Students who come here like small schools where people know who you are. Being active in the school community is a good way to meet people.
