Does anyone know the average SAT scores for admitted students at George Mason University? I'd like to know if my scores are competitive or if I should consider retaking the SAT before applying. Thanks for the help!
Sure, I can help you with that! The middle 50% SAT range for students admitted to George Mason University is between 1160 and 1330. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1160, while another 25% scored above 1330. To be competitive, you'll generally want to aim for a score within or above this range.
However, keep in mind that test scores are just one component of your application, and George Mason, like many schools, takes a holistic approach to admissions. They'll also consider your GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. If your SAT score is below the middle 50% range, but other aspects of your application are strong, you could still be a competitive candidate.
That being said, if you think you could significantly improve your SAT score with more preparation and believe that your current score doesn't accurately represent your potential, it may be worth retaking the test. Just make sure to keep track of application deadlines so you have enough time to prepare and get your updated scores submitted. Good luck with your application!
