 :roll:  You don't even know the stats of OP's kid.  There are plenty of students who do not get accepted to JMU.  I'm worried about my own this year.  [/quote]

3.3-3.4 gets you into JMU from FCPS.[/quote]

It didn't get my DC in.  Maybe stop generalizing?   :roll:

It's based on the Naviance scattergrams.  It's an odd case when someone with a 3.4 from FCPS does not get into JMU.  I'm sure that doesn't make you feel better.  But, it's statistically true.  [/quote]

It’s also BS. The [b]average GPA according to SCHEV is 3.9[/b][/quote]

That makes perfect sense.  The average GPA would have to be ABOVE the "cut line" on Naviance!  You can argue with it all you want, but Naviance shows a dividing line (not literally a line that they create, but one that you can see by looking at the chart) -- the vast, vast majority of those those who apply with a 3.3-3.4 GPA get in.

The average GPA for GMU is quite high too.  But, if you have a 3.0-3.1, you are very very very likely getting into GMU.  Yes, we know, you know a kid somewhere who had a 3.4 who didn't get it.  There are a FEW (very few) exceptions.  But, looking at the data -- an applicant with a 3.0-3.1 or higher is going to get into GMU.  [/quote]

you are an idiot. the 75th percentile for GPA last year was a 4.0. the ; 75th percentile was a 3.75 and[b] the bottom 25th percentile was a 3.45[/b]. https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]

Seems that you sir are the "idiot."

If the bottom 25% starts at 3.41...well that would be consistent with a chart showing that those with gpa's under 3.3 usually do not get accepted.

DP: No, that's not how the math works.  25% of all the students admitted have under a 3.41.  We have no idea how many with GPAs below 3.41 were not admitted from the overall data set--but our Naviance can tell us what it looks like for a given high school.  What we do know is that overall about 3/4s of students are typically admitted.[/quote]
