[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son from mcps got into JMU with 3.5 unweighted and a sub-1200 SAT.

I think visiting the school and demonstrating a real interest is important.

He opted for another school. Some of his classmates didn’t get in, and we were surprised.

I think it was a crapshoot last year with a lot of schools. I know kids who didn’t get into the “easy” schools in the SEC and the south but DID get into Penn State (main campus), Delaware, etc. I wonder if some of the VA schools were caught up in the popularity of the south and tried to protect the yield.

Stop. Public schools don’t use demonstrated interest of yield protection. [/quote]

I don’t know about yield protection, but demonstrated interest is a category on each school’s CDS. JMU checks the considered box. As does another public school I’ve looked at (AppState)

They must be more desperate than I thought. Demonstrated interest is a third tier practice. [/quote]

Is Dartmouth third tier? Demonstrated interest is also considered there (pg 8)

Again Google? Jesus, this is why we need humanities majors that can do Simple research.

Here is an undated (so people should verify using CDS list of schools that track interest
