Applying to Marymount

List of 8 items.

• Step 1: Complete the Online Inquiry Form & Obtain Login Credentials

  Please note: If you have already completed the inquiry form at any time and are receiving communication from us, then you are in our database. You do not need to fill out the form again. 
  
  Future Applicants: Please fill out an inquiry form so we can be aware of your interest in Marymount - and to receive important email and mail communications from the Office of Admission.
  
  Obtaining Login Credentials:  After you submit your inquiry form, you will receive an email with instructions regarding how to obtain your login credentials. Be sure to check your spam or junk folders so that you don't miss this and other important emails!

• Step 2: Complete the Online Application

  After you have submitted an online inquiry form as instructed above, click on "myMARYMOUNT" at the top right-hand corner of our website to access your daughter's portal.  As mentioned above, after we process your submitted inquiry form you will receive an automated email from Blackbaud with an invitation to create your login credentials. Look in your spam folders for that email, and remember to use the email address you used when you registered!
  
  Once you log into the MyMarymount portal, you should see your daughter's checklist under the Admission Progress tab. If you do not see it, click on her name in the top left corner of your screen. Under the Checklist you will see the application. Click Start and you can begin to complete the online application!

  Marymount also accepts the Standard Application Online (SAO), which is a common application shared among many independent schools through the Enrollment Management Association. Families applying to more than one independent school may find the SAO to be convenient. If you choose to complete the SAO, be sure to complete the Marymount-specific short answer questions.
  
  Families will complete either the Marymount application or the SAO, but not both. 
  
  The deadline to submit your application is Friday, January 10, 2025.
  
  

• Step 3: Interview with a member of Marymount’s Administration/Faculty

  Interviews are held from October through the first week of February. Once you have submitted the application, you can self-schedule your family's interview in the myMARYMOUNT portal. Both student and parent(s) will spend individual time with a member of the Marymount community.
  
  Interviews for the families applying for the 2025-26 school year will be held on campus .
  
  The interview schedule will be posted by the middle of September. Though most interviews will take place Monday through Friday, we will have four Saturday options (December 7, January 11, January 18, and January 25). You must submit your application before you can schedule an interview, so if Saturday interviews work best for you be sure to submit the application soon to secure your Saturday spot!

• Step 4: Recommendation Forms

  Administrator, Math, and English Teacher Recommendation Forms for 2025-26.
  
  All Recommendation Forms for 2025-26 will be available in your myMARYMOUNT portal under your checklist.  You will submit requests directly to your recommenders through the checklist in your myMARYMOUNT portal. Your requested recommenders will be able to submit their recommendation forms directly to us once completed through the myMARYMOUNT portal.
  
  The Administrator Recommendation form should be completed by your daughter’s current Head of School/Principal, Middle School Director, or Counselor. The Teacher Recommendation forms should be given to your daughter’s current English and Mathematics teachers.  
  
  These forms can be completed after November 1, 2024, but submitted no later than January 10, 2024. 
  
  If you attend a school that has a district policy against submitting letters of recommendation, don't worry! Just email us to let us know. We do recommend that those applicants participate in the Character Skills Snapshot, which is explained below.
  
  
  

• Step 5: Request a complete transcript from current school

  The Transcript Request Form is available in your myMARYMOUNT portal. You will submit this request to your daughter’s current school directly from her checklist.  The transcript must include the past two years' final grades and her current year's first trimester/semester grades and any standardized test scores.  Transcripts will be automatically submitted to us from your daughter's school through the myMARYMOUNT portal.
  
  
  
  

• Step 6: Marymount Writing Assessment

  Marymount requires a 25-minute essay writing assessment, proctored online for all applicants. This unscored writing sample provides the admission committee with a feel for prospective student written communication skills and overall thought organization.

• Step 7: Optional Character Skills Snapshot

  
  

  Character and personal growth are an integral part of a Marymount education. Often grades don't tell the whole story. The Character Skills Snapshot gives us another lens to see the student in areas such as open-mindedness, resilience, and social awareness. 
  
  

  For the students who are applying from a school where their teachers are unable to complete teacher recommendations, we highly recommend that students participate in the 25-minute online  Character Skills Snapshot assessment.
