George Mason early action decisions are out and my kid is in. He’s thrilled and it is (probably) his first choice. Already figuring out which of his many friends who may go there he wants to room with next year.

Stats: 3.6w, 1200 SAT from an FCPS school.


If a tree falls in the woods...GMU has EA? Why? Just do rolling admissions. They're going to accept everyone anyway.


Ok bo0mer, things have changed



Truly. the median GPA of the entering class is now a 3.54. 75th percentile is a 3.9. I know a lot of students who did not get in

I mean, Mason accepts the vast, vast majority of students who apply (over 80%). Which is fine -- non-selective schools can still be quite good, and anyone who wants a strong education from GMU can absolutely, 100% attain that. But objectively, it's not hard to get into. It's just not.


Hence the very first sentence of the post....average kids. Snotty posts not welcome here. We’re happy for our kids who worked hard and will get a great education at Mason. Without paying an obnoxious amount to earn it.

With a few exceptions, Mason does not require test scores. College of Engineering is one of those exceptions and they say a minimum 550 Math
Math for consideration.

DS made it in for Applied CompSci with a 600 on his math.

GMU accepted 78 percent of applicants last year and the average SAT of an enrolled kid was a 1200.

Yes, they were!
Excited for my DD!


Congrats! The program looks amazing. I just don’t understand why my DC didn’t get into it. They had pretty good stats and a good essay, so I thought.

Congrats to all admitted to GMU. I predict GMU will be rising in the rankings drastically in the next decade and beyond. It has a lot of things going for the school. Its proximity to DC area and its emphasis on some of the more important majors will bring it to prominence.


No, that’s not happening. That’s what people have been saying for 30 years.


Well. It’s certainly moving in the right direction!

Congratulations.

It is a great school!

(We just undervalue it because it is right here)

I was impressed when we toured and sat through the energetic and enthusiastic Honors presentation with our child.
