| At my fcps hs, the cut off line in naviance seems to be around the 3.5 w gpa mark. |

| My son didn't get in last year - 3.8 wGPA, 1330 SAT. Very sad. |

Same for my kid's FCPS school. Any WGPA over 3.5 is a virtual lock and the school has a huge sample size. |

JMU also looks at course rigor. |

My son from mcps got into JMU with 3.5 unweighted and a sub-1200 SAT.
I think visiting the school and demonstrating a real interest is important. He opted for another school. Some of his classmates didn’t get in, and we were surprised. I think it was a crapshoot last year with a lot of schools. I know kids who didn’t get into the “easy” schools in the SEC and the south but DID get into Penn State (main campus), Delaware, etc. I wonder if some of the VA schools were caught up in the popularity of the south and tried to protect the yield. |

| At our suburban private school, the cut-off was about 3.3-3.4 for in-state JMU. |

?? My DS went to JMU with a 3.95 wGPA and a 34 ACT. No honors or merit. |

There's a reason this post is asking about NoVA students going to JMU. The acceptance rate for out of state is much higher (85% vs 68% in 23-24) https://research.schev.edu/iprofile/232423/James-Madison-University |

Nice try to make this person feel better, but not accurate. My DD got in with 4.8 wGPA and 1520 SAT. |

Except that it was his first choice and he would absolutely have attended. Too bad JMU doesn't have ED for kids like mine. |
