You will not get into any of these schools, outside Norfolk state with a 3.0

A POC with a 3.0 can absolutely get into JMU.

First out from under the rock? You missed a few things.

1: The Supreme Court won't allow universities to use race or ethnicity anymore
2: The Common App has made receiving that data optional
3: No university is ever going to touch that data again. There is line of lawyers wrapped around the building just dying for a crack

So JMU won't know if Brian Smith is POC or not.

Welcome to 2023. Hope you enjoyed your nap!

It is you who has been living under the rock. The schools will continue to look at race - the identifying box is gone but it can now be raised in the essays which was in Roberta’s dicta. That’s what all the schools have done. Go look at some sample essays

East Asian a.k.a. fancy Asian = Japan, Koea, and China

not to derail OP's thread, but I had never heard this term before. Maybe I'm just old. I'm 53.

-Korean American

+1. The correct terms are Korean American, Japanese American, Chinese American, not East Asian

aka “Fancy Asian”?
LOL

or the New England of Asia, versus the SouthEast Asian (Thai/Vietnamese) that are more like the Florida of Asia...

The proper term is "Jungle Asians"

Signed,

A fellow half Jungle, half Fancy Asian

East Asian American would also be a correct term.

As the wiki instructs, it is a geological term. In college admissions, you say Korean American.

There is no “East Asian”box on the college application

There's no Korean American checkbox in college admissions.

This thread is not about college application checkbox.

Question is "Where do underachieving East Asian kids go to college?"

JMU folks are not necessarily "above" GMU and VCU, but that is the current admission reality right now. Right now, it is harder to get admitted to JMU than to GMU/VCU. Sorry that bothers you.

There's pretty much no difference among JMU, GMU, and VCU.
https://research.schev.edu/enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.ASP

GMU students even have higher median SAT scores 1240 vs 1230 JMU
How much harder could it be with an 80% acceptance rate? Lol.

It's embarrassing to associate JMU with being "harder to get admitted."
Stop embarrassing yourself.

The acceptance rate for GMU is 90%. The acceptance rate for JMU is 77%. The acceptance rate for VCU is 91%.

JMU rejects more applicants and is a little harder to get into than GMU and VCU.

Race is an intractable part of American society. Colleges too.

Not an Asian but know that neither of the three likes to be identified in the same group as the others and generally look down upon the other Asians.

Here's a term I learned on this forum - Jungle Asian. That would be Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam. I guess the difference is cultural expectations, aspirations and education levels.

Also three of the CUNY colleges: Baruch, Hunter and Queens, all over 30% Asian. Several of the other CUNYs are in the 20s. Rutgers and UMBC are over 20% too.
