[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This makes me sad.  i went to JMU in the early 90's and the acceptance rate was 34%-ish.  I was surrounded by smart, well rounded, fun people.  Seems like JMU prioritized growing over maintaining high standards.  It's basically now just like Radford.

Weird that you don't include a link.  Here's mine.  Last year's admission rate was 81%.  This year's admission rate was 71%.  Did you really think no one would call you out on your false information?

Grade inflation is real. Current students are no smarter than those of previous decades. In fact, professors often complain that students are ill prepared for college classes.[/quote]

Agree that there are likely many kids who are ill prepared for college classes.  But top high school students today are taking on more advanced coursework compared to decades ago (e.g., lots more AP classes offered).  I graduated from a well-regarded suburban high school in 1983 (yes, I know that was a long time ago) and available math courses topped out at AP Calculus BC.  Not today at similar high schools.
