What the numbers say about Fairmont State College

The reported middle 50% spans 260 points, from 810 to 1070. A planning score near or above 1110 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
The reported section midpoints are 510 Reading and Writing and 490 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
The Scorecard snapshot reports a 99% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
Reported outcomes include a 44% completion rate and $46,857 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
