Admissions Requirements
An applicant is considered on the total picture the student’s credentials present. High school students will be considered competitive for admission if they present a rigorous course of college-preparatory academic studies. Students should have an above average core academic and cumulative grade-point average and rank in the top half of their graduating classes. A strong correlation between high school grades and test scores is expected. Any college level work is also expected to be at the above average level. The personal supplement information, essays, resumé of activities, and recommendations are also strongly considered as positive indicators of success at Belmont. Additional requirements such as portfolios or auditions are considered in conjunction with the academic credentials for those programs which require them. Each   application is considered on an individual basis. No two applicants will present the same credentials or the same degree of “fit” with the university. Our desire is to work with each student to determine the likelihood for that student to enroll, graduate, and benefit from the Belmont educational experience.
