[quote=Anonymous][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]

Who is the poster who obsessed over the SCHEV 75th percentile all the time?  That means that THREE QUARTERS of entering students have lower numbers.  [/quote]

Because if you are applying from Nova and not a URM or First Generation that’s where you need to aim. The rest is for legacies (yes GMU has them); And band stars (scholarships if willing to play in pep band); athletes, especially basketball; OOS and international for diversity; Korean students to encourage a flow of students to and from Mason Korea; first generation; URM; financially needy students and the brilliant kids going for the lucrative cybersecurity major.[/quote]
