[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need a 3.7 out of Langley to get into GMU.  also, selectivity has really changed.  Also the days of 30% getting in are long gone too.  Only 17% of applicants get in and that's including all the international and OOS students, so from NoVA and especially Langley and MLean, it's much more difficult.[/quote]

Booster, GMU is a fine college, but, it is nowhere near as selective as you are claiming. The 2013 admission rate was 62%.  Most applicants get accepted. But, the vast majority (77%) of students who get admitted choose NOT to attend GMU. Only 23% of the admittees choose to attend.    [/quote]

NP here.  Looking right now at Naviance data for GMU at McLean HS.  The average GPA of admitted students over the past five years has been 3.64; average SAT was 1850 (1873 super scored).   That doesn't tell you what you "need" to get into GMU.  It's just the average.

About 70% of the applicants from MHS get in every year and that the percentage of admitted students who've enrolled has ranged from 16 to 36"%.   Naviance does not tell you the average GPA or SATs of the students who actually pick the school.

If I pull up the data for Virginia Tech, it's a different story, as you definitely need much better than average stats from McLean to get into VT.  I assume the same is true at Langley.
