[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to second the PP's comment about oddities with JMU/VT admissions.  If anyone has any insight, I would be curious as to what is going on there. At DD's FCPS, everyone says its harder to get into JMU with the exception of VT/Engineering, abd that you need nearly 4.0.  Is that true?[/quote]

All these schools have Common Data Sets that have this information. Compare and contrast.[/quote]

Please explain how to use Common Data Set statistics with Naviance to evaluate if JMU is an option or not for college admissions.

Here are the stats from Naviance from DS' FCPS high school.

Here are stats from the 2015-2016 Common Data Set for JMU:

So does a student with a 3.4 unweighted GPA (as the OP of this thread stated) have a reasonable chance of admission to JMU? Or does a student, applying in Senior year, really need something closer to the "average" GPA of 3.87 (unweighted) as shown in Naviance?
