[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How easy?

In VA, VCU or GMU
In MD, Towson or UMBC

But these aren't 'open admissions' level of easy, [b]just not as competitive as some other state options[/b].[/quote]

True, but OP needs to know that the 75th percentile at GMU last fall had a 4.0 and a 30 ACT.  It's not as easy to get in to as some on DCUM think.  And it's the largest research university in the Commonwealth, so actually HUGE.  https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]

Yes, I didn't know how to interpret their question-- whether it was somewhere between medium and large, or just bigger than 8k.  GMU has 27k undergraduates so a lot of its size comes from grad students. But, yes, it's very big.[/quote]

And while there are a lot of strong students at GMU-hence the high 75th percentile, it has a high acceptance rate--86%.  So you might be one of the weaker students in the school, but you can often still get in with a lower academic level.[/quote]
