Admission Requirements George Mason University

George Mason University is a public research university located in Fairfax, Virginia. It was founded as a branch of the University of Virginia in 1949, and became an independent institution in 1972. Mason is located near Dulles International Airport and within proximity to Washington, DC. The university admits applicants on a rolling basis, so there are no deadlines for submitting any application materials. This means you can submit your application when it’s convenient for you—but don’t wait too long!

Students are encouraged to submit their application as early as possible.

Students are encouraged to submit their application as early as possible. Applying early will provide you with the best opportunity for admission, especially if you have aspirations of pursuing a particular major or program. Priority consideration for specific majors and programs will be given to applicants who apply by the recommended deadlines listed below.

Students should also note that once they have submitted their application and been admitted into George Mason University, the university records office will assign them an official status based on when they were admitted—for example: “Early Action” or “Regular Decision.” This designation can affect what classes students get access to, so it’s important that students know what type of applicant they are before submitting their application!

Your admission decision is based on a comprehensive review of your academic achievements.

• The George Mason University admissions office considers each application on a holistic basis. This means that your application will be judged in its entirety, and we will not select a subset of your academic record for review.
• GMU does not have a minimum GPA or test score requirement for admission. However, if you do not meet the average GPA or test scores for our applicants, you may find it difficult to be admitted because the University is looking at how well you performed against your peers’ performance across multiple factors when determining our admit rate: *Academic Record *Extracurricular Activities *Personal Achievement

GMU does not require the writing portion of the SAT or ACT for the admissions decision. GMU applies a holistic review process, which means that all information within your application will be taken into account when reviewing it. The University’s admission committee will review your application and make a decision based on what they see in all aspects of your file.

Applicants with a GPA between 2.500 and 2.999 must submit official SAT or ACT scores to be considered for admission.

Applicants with a GPA between 2.500 and 2.999 must submit official SAT or ACT scores to be considered for admission. A good GPA is typically considered above 3.0, while the average is often between 3.0 and 3.5 at most schools (although this can vary widely depending on the school). A bad GPA, on the other hand, could mean that you won’t be considered for admission at all—and might even get rejected if you do get in!

There are many things that affect how your college application will be evaluated by admissions committees: extracurricular activities, test scores and more play into this equation when determining if you’ll get accepted into George Mason University. They also take into account things like your essays and letters of recommendation from teachers or counselors who know you well enough to write about just how awesome (or not) of a person they think that would make an ideal student here at GMU!

GMU does not require applicants to complete an interview prior to acceptance; however, once you accept an offer of admission, we will contact you with information about freshman orientation sessions, including opportunities to see campus firsthand.
