[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What some people don’t realize is that when schools have a moment of popularity, many more kids apply and the school quickly becomes more selective. So while kids with so-so stats used to get in rather easily, a quick spike in applications catches students off guard when their safety waitlists or rejects them.

This happened at Auburn and it could just as easily happen at JMU. [/quote]

Maybe, but 12 months ago, 3 out of 4 people who applied were offered admission.   In 2019/20 the figure was 78%, and in 2020/21 the figure was 83%.

In 2021/22, 90% of the people who applied were offered admission.  9 in 10.  Then the number dipped to 78%, so about 8 in 10.

These are wonderful odds for the kids, because the overwhelming majority of kids who apply will get in.

The football and basketball teams both had unusually strong seasons last year. I bet that drives the application numbers up more.[/quote]
