[quote=Anonymous][quote]JMU requires top grades because of grade inflation in FCPS. It is really hard to get Bs if you are putting in a bit of effort.[/quote] Not really. My DC who went to JMU had a fair number of B/B+ grades on his transcript, took gen ed English for 3 years, only took 4 "real" APs (along with AP music theory and CSP), and applied with a 3.95 weighted GPA and 34 ACT (took once, did no prep). About 25% of his class graduated with a weighted GPA above 4.0 but it's not true that everyone has all As. I really don't think he was below average for a JMU student. Heck, UMD offered him a $50k OOS scholarship with these stats. We didn't stress about college admissions because our kids correctly identified targets and safeties and only applied to those schools.
