[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How easy?

In VA, VCU or GMU
In MD, Towson or UMBC

But these aren't 'open admissions' level of easy, [b]just not as competitive as some other state options[/b].[/quote]

True, but OP needs to know that the 75th percentile at GMU last fall had a 4.0 and a 30 ACT.  It's not as easy to get in to as some on DCUM think.  And it's the largest research university in the Commonwealth, so actually HUGE.  https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]

Yes, I didn't know how to interpret their question-- whether it was somewhere between medium and large, or just bigger than 8k.  GMU has 27k undergraduates so a lot of its size comes from grad students. But, yes, it's very big.[/quote]

Who is the poster who obsessed over the SCHEV 75th percentile all the time?  That means that THREE QUARTERS of entering students have lower numbers.  [/quote]

Because if you are applying from Nova and not a URM or First Generation that’s where you need to aim. The rest is for legacies (yes GMU has them); And band stars (scholarships if willing to play in pep band); athletes, especially basketball; OOS and international for diversity; Korean students to encourage a flow of students to and from Mason Korea; first generation; URM; financially needy students and the brilliant kids going for the lucrative cybersecurity major.[/quote]

Yes, I've heard this same tired refrain from you as well, the data says it's not true, and you have nothing to back up your [b]opinion[/b].  The overwhelming majority of GMU in state undergrads are from NOVA, with almost 10,000 of them from Fairfax County alone.  It's mathematically impossible for the typical NOVA student to be in the top 25 percent of enrolled GMU students stat wise given the percentage of the student body that is from the area.

Your argument might -- might -- work if you're talking about UVA, but [b]not GMU.  [/b]
