<p>My son, a jr (11th grade) just took his first SAT this morning. Not sure how long it takes to get scores back, but if he would like to attend JMU, what is a good SAT score?</p>

<p>Per the CB,</p>

<p>Middle 50% of
First-Year Students</p>

<p>SAT Critical Reading: 520 - 620
SAT Math: 540 - 630<br>
SAT Writing: 520 - 620<br>
ACT Composite: 22 - 26</p>

<p>Note that if your son doesn’t score in this range it doesn’t not mean that there is no chance. GPA is more heavily looked at than SAT scores at JMU. Conversely, a high SAT score doesn’t mean auto admission. An above average GPA (3.8+) is recommended as well.</p>
