Yo, in the process of building my college list and I'm considering JMU. I'd be grateful if anyone could shed light on what kind of SAT scores they usually look for?
Although the SAT requirements for James Madison University (JMU) can vary, usually the middle 50% of accepted students score between 1140 and 1320. Treat this range as a benchmark and aim for a score within or above this range to increase your chances of admission; however, please keep in mind that the college admissions process is holistic and your SAT score is only one component of your entire application. Apart from your scores, JMU will look at your high school GPA, the rigor of your high school curriculum, your extracurricular activities, and your application essays. A strong application is well-rounded and demonstrates evidence of academic potential, personal characteristic, and passion for learning.
