What grades or type of student when it gets in to JMU? Honest question.

^ wouldn’t get into ...

Umm... someone with bad grades/a poor student?

Well, my son has a 3.8 GPA and a 1470 SAT and was waitlisted, so I guess that means he's a poor student?

Yield protection.

I think so too. My 2020 DD got in with 3.3 and 1210 (and straight from EA, no deferral). She went somewhere else but I remember not being surprised she got in. Times have changed!

the world is upside down when it's hard to get in to The Virginia Normal School For Women.

This is the most bizarre and random thing I have read on this board to date. There were actually 4 normal schools in Virginia and JMU was not the first.

And there were plenty of normal schools in the US as well. Do you even know what the term normal school means ?

My 2020 son did not get in with a 3.4 and a 1310 SAT (30 ACT.)
I wonder how much it depends on the major they are applying for?

Wow. They must have had a HUGE pool of applicants.

"James Madison University is experiencing an historic increase in applications from the Class of 2026.

Regular Decision notices were posted by JMU’s Office of Admissions on Wednesday, March 9—beginning another exciting season for new Dukes.

JMU received 31,672 applications by the January 15 deadline, a 44-percent increase from 2021’s 22,035 total, according to Melinda J. Wood, JMU’s associate vice president for access and enrollment management and director of admissions."

Any idea of acceptance rate? I believe last year was 81% (pre-common app).

That’s just the resident troll who pops up on any thread about JMU. Very bitter about something, apparently. Just report the troll.

I’m fact UVA hosted the first “normal school” in Virginia.

I don't know how that's possible.

Truthfully he told me awhile ago. I know his SAT was 1300. I'm a pretty laid back mom.

My kid's school mails report cards home, so I know his GPA....does your kid's school not do that? Or do you just not open it?

DP. Some parents really don't know. DC has a 4.59 gpa and I overheard DH telling someone that he thinks DC has about a 4.3. DH does look at the grades on the report card.

My non-Big3 private school student got in EA with 3.3 GPA and test optional. They were near the edge for their school based on the scatter grams. Will be going elsewhere, they just couldn't get past the highway bisecting it.

This was definitely noticeable in the 90s but MUCH less now.

Our DC is there now and as hard as it may be to believe, 81 isn't really noticeable. You really don't hear it and because the campus is higher than the road you don't see it except in the stadium if you are sitting in some of the higher seats. And there is both a tunnel over it and bridge under that makes the two parts of campus function as one.

Yield protection? Is the 3.8 WGPA?
