JMU admission results

[Anonymous]

Does JMU begin announcing admissions anytime soon (e.g. like VCU does) or do they wait for the announcement date and do that in one shot (mid-Jan)?

I think they do it all at once, but the acceptance rate was 78% last year, so you should be fine.

You don't even know the stats of OP's kid. There are plenty of students who do not get accepted to JMU. I'm worried about my own this year.

Mid January.

Their acceptance rate was 73.5% for 2022-23. They haven't posted their acceptance rate for 2023 yet, but it was no doubt lower.

But, no matter what it was, they defer a lot of students to regular decision, so not gauranteed OP's child is accepted in mid january.

3.3-3.4 gets you into JMU from FCPS.

It didn't get my DC in. Maybe stop generalizing?

It's based on the Naviance scattergrams. It's an odd case when someone with a 3.4 from FCPS does not get into JMU. I'm sure that doesn't make you feel better. But, it's statistically true.

Our FCPS HS Naviance scattergram plots application results from 2018 to 2023. Useless.

The one I'm looking at only shows the late 2 yrs.

just play the long game and you'll get in...people will not accept admission and/or change their mind late when they get into a school they deem better.

One high school is not statistically significant.

OP. Not worried about getting in. Already have admit to a couple of safeties and a couple of matches. However, would be nice to have a good in-state admit so DC can skip RD applications.

Your data point = 1. My data point = 200.
It has around 200 data points...it's pretty good sample of where the cut line runs for gpa.

Sure there are a few rejections in the otherwise green mass above a 3.3 gpa. But they are the exception. In the vadt majority of cases, kids with a 3.3/3.4 get into jmu.

It’s also BS. The average GPA according to SCHEV is 3.9
