SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 900–1120 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional for admission to Francis Marion University (FMU) due to test-optional policies, though submitting scores can strengthen an application.
• FMU evaluates scores as part of a holistic review, considering them alongside GPA and other criteria rather than strict cutoffs.
• Francis Marion University does practice superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not direct substitutes for SAT scores in admissions.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1000–1120 to be competitive for admission to Francis Marion University.
