Make it known to the admissions advisor how badly you want to go, Marist is selective and wants only those top students who are committed to actually attending.

good SAT scores, unique college essay (DON'T write about summer camp,) and BE ENTHUSIASTIC! If you really love it here, tell them. Write them emails all the time. Pester the admissions counselors to death until you get in. They love people who love Marist.

I'm currently a freshman at Marist- and to be honest, it's getting a lot more difficult to get in. Most of the kids from my highschool who applied this year got denied immediately, and only a couple got waitlisted (that's as high as it went). They all had 3.7's and aboves and were involved in everything.
Note- if you get waitlisted, BECOME ADMINISTRATIONS BEST FRIEND! Send them emails, go on more tours, etc, write to them, send them recent accomplishments etc. On your file- every time you visit marist or send them something they put a "check mark", and the more checks the better. good luck!
