Your chances
How hard is it to get in?
Getting in is the hard part. Belmont University admitted 95.3% of applicants in its most recent reported class, one of the lowest rates in the country. Realistically it is a reach for every applicant, no matter how strong.
Admitted students cluster near the top of the testing range: the middle 50% score 1160–1350 on the SAT and 24–30 on the ACT. Scores at or above that band keep you in contention, but they do not decide it.
The real question is not your odds but your move. That is where Spike comes in: it reads your profile against what Belmont University actually rewards, and tells you what to do next.
