• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, alongside academic records and personal achievements, rather than strict thresholds.

• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) scores may be considered to demonstrate academic strength if SAT scores are not submitted.
• Applicants are recommended to aim for SAT scores at or above the average of 1070 to be competitive for admission to Mount St. Mary's University California.
