Discussion of Belmont University's Admissions Standards:

Don't be fooled by Belmont University's relatively high acceptance rate (around 80% in recent years). The applicants tend to be strong, and you're going to need good high school grades and standardized test scores to be admitted. In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent students who got in. You can see that the majority of admitted students had high school averages of B+ or higher, ACT composite scores of 21 or higher and combined SAT scores of about 1050 or better (RW+M). Grades and scores above these lower ranges will certainly increase your chances of receiving an acceptance letter.

Note that there are a few red dots (rejected students) and yellow dots (waitlisted students) hidden behind the green and blue in the middle of the graph, so not all students with competitive grades and test scores were admitted. Note also that some students were accepted with test scores and grades a little below the norm. This is because Belmont University, like most selective colleges, has a holistic admissions process. Numerical data is just part of the equation. The admissions folks will also want to see a rigorous high school curriculum, meaningful extracurricular activities, a well-crafted personal statement, and a glowing letter of recommendation. Your personal accomplishments can help make up for grades and test scores that are a little below par.
