CNU is definitely up and coming. This was a little known commuter school 20 years ago where most Virginians hadn't heard of it.  It has steadily risen in the rankings year over year as well as student admit GPA/SAT scores.  Most high school students haven't heard of CNU or don't really consider the school until they start serious college planning.  I would say CNU competes with JMU, GMU and UMW for solid above average students (or average students that have taken a rigorous course of study (AP/IB)) that are serious about their education, want a small private school-feel and really nice facilities (almost all of the buildings on that campus are less than 20 years old).  I would say that CNU is one of the best kept secrets in Virginia and the south east region; however, many students and families from Northern Virginia and New Jersey are starting to find that out when they visit the school, talk to the students and look at the credentials of the professors.  I agree with the other posters that JMU is also an up and coming school but not for an average student, the competition to get into JMU by most of the students that don’t get into UVA, W&M and VTech drive the GPA/SAT scores above what most average students have.
