James Madison University (JMU) follows a holistic admission process for undergraduate applicants. Prospective students must submit an online application via the Common App or JMU’s own platform, along with a non-refundable fee. Required materials include high school transcripts, SAT/ACT scores (optional for 2023-2024), a counselor recommendation, and a personal statement. Deadlines vary: Early Action is November 1, and Regular Decision is January 15.
Transfer students need college transcripts and a minimum GPA of 2.0. Graduate programs have program-specific requirements, such as letters of recommendation and GRE/GMAT scores. Decisions are typically released 6-8 weeks after deadlines.
