I'm pretty sure the only requirement Mason has toFeb 21 2010Business - Management and Administration
I'm pretty sure the only requirement Mason has to get accepted is to be able to read between a 6th and 8th grade level. The majority of the student body shouldn't have even graduated high school.
Female
Just have decent high schoolJan 17 2010Political Science
Just have decent high school grades and SAT scores, and you'll be fine. Another option is to go to NOVA for 2 years and GMU will take you from there.
Male
Got rather stellarNov 18 2008Political Science
Got rather stellar grades in hs. Mainly A's and some B's. And a good SAT score will help. It's becoming really competitive with GMU's increased reputation, and kids from hs that would normally attend UVA or VTech are applying here more.
Male
Just applyAug 07 2008Computer Science
Just apply. They'll accept you if you have anything average. Don't listen to all the bull crap magazines and papers put out about average GPA. Mason is a fall back school for most students so the people average GPA is higher than what you really need because none of the students actually end up attending Mason. I got in with a 3.1 and 1160 SAT. I did have 6 seasons of varsity sports and some good recomendations but I'm smarter than most students there. I'm also very lazy too.
SAT: 1160 Male
