Once you decide to apply to Saint Mary’s, the process begins with submitting the Common Application along with other required application materials. Around this time you should also schedule an interview with your Admissions Counselor (if you can't make it to campus, don't worry, it's not required). And you can track the progress of your application in your student portal.
Please contact us if you are uncertain about anything or have general questions.
