[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would people be willing to share the stats of kids who didn't receive an acceptance from JMU?  TIA![/quote]
OP, I don't think you're going to get very helpful information here. Having just gone through the application/acceptance cycle for this fall's incoming class and reading all the posts and comments about who did/didn't get into JMU, the info is all over the place - as in, there's no telling.

Fact of the matter is, JMU - like most colleges - are interested in geographical diversity. So they are not going to accept all of the students from Northern Virginia who have all the same credentials. They can't accept everyone. I don't know what the magic factor is, particularly since test scores are optional and even the application essay is optional. Seems like a lottery process.[/quote]

I agree. My son got in last year and many of his friends with similar stats and extra curricular activities didn't get in.

My youngest with a profile/portfolio similar as my oldest will be applying this year so we'll see... nothing is guaranteed.[/quote]
