George Mason University maintains a test-optional undergraduate admissions policy, meaning that freshman applicants are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores to be considered for admission or merit-based scholarships. For students who choose to submit standardized test scores as part of their comprehensive application package, competitive scores typically fall within the middle 50% range of enrolled students, with composite SAT scores generally ranging between 1160 and 1350, reflecting strong performance in evidence-based reading, writing, and mathematics.
