McDaniel College evaluates the potential academic success of each candidate by considering the following:
-
Secondary school courses and grades, with special consideration given to accelerated courses;
-
Personal essay (Topics available on The Common Application);
-
Personal traits, goals, and motivation;
-
Recommendations and evaluations by principals, counselors, and teachers;
-
Participation in nonacademic activities; and
-
Aptitude and achievement tests.
Unless qualified for the SAT/ACT Optional Plan (see below), candidates for admission must take either the SAT-I or the ACT. Students should take one of these tests at the end of their junior year so results will be available for completing college applications early in the fall of their senior year. McDaniel does not utilize the writing score on the SAT-I and we do not require the writing component of the ACT. The CEEB code for McDaniel College is 5898; the ACT assessment code is 1756.
SAT/ACT optional plan
This option is open to students who:
-
Are in the top 10 percent of their high school class as verified and reported on the official high school transcript OR
-
Have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or better on a 4.00 scale in college preparatory coursework, for high schools that do not rank students.
Students choosing this option must indicate so by attaching a request in writing to the Common Application.
Admissions
All students wishing to be considered for non-need based awards and/or the College Honors Program must submit the results of the SAT/ACT testing.
