Silly rabbit:

1. You are the PP
2. Using Percent acceptance is silly - better students from HS apply to VT/JMU even if VT's acceptance percentage is 67%, JMU 59.9% and GMU 52.8% the real question is...who is applying? The valedictorian or the kid on academic probabtion?
3. SATSCORES.US is not an official site. I checked Harvard's distribution and found its SAT to be below Davidson's last week...only to find the counselor said there is a 150 point difference in the actual numbers.
4. US News - those don't seem to be very impressive rankings to me....why not find rankings that actually compare GMU and JMU/VT

Try these:

or These:

Or These (for an example of how the predominate major at all three schools ranks):
