[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the kids on here with 4.3's and higher really considering going to JMU? I'm being honest, not being snarky. When my older kids applied they were aiming for VT and UVA and W&M and wouldn't think of JMU. They'd go out of state before JMU. I don't see how JMU would be the top choice for a kid who is top of their class? Also, why does it seem so many OOS got in.[/quote] Yes, JMU is a strong contender for my 4.3 kid. Times may have changed since your older kids were applying--all the schools you listed have become more competitive. In our case: UVA 25th percentile was 4.24, so my kid barely scrapes the bottom of their pool. SAT was below median. Didn't like W&M (too small) and it's $12K more per year. VT doesn't offer the program they are interested in OOS not a viable option due to cost and the need to stay close-ish to home Has lots of friends and relatives who attended JMU, all of whom rave about the school [/quote]
