:roll:  You don't even know the stats of OP's kid.  There are plenty of students who do not get accepted to JMU.  I'm worried about my own this year.  [/quote]

3.3-3.4 gets you into JMU from FCPS.[/quote]

It didn't get my DC in.  Maybe stop generalizing?   :roll:

It's based on the Naviance scattergrams.  It's an odd case when someone with a 3.4 from FCPS does not get into JMU.  I'm sure that doesn't make you feel better.  But, it's statistically true.  [/quote]

It’s also BS. The [b]average GPA according to SCHEV is 3.9[/b][/quote]

That makes perfect sense.  The average GPA would have to be ABOVE the "cut line" on Naviance!  You can argue with it all you want, but Naviance shows a dividing line (not literally a line that they create, but one that you can see by looking at the chart) -- the vast, vast majority of those those who apply with a 3.3-3.4 GPA get in.

The average GPA for GMU is quite high too.  But, if you have a 3.0-3.1, you are very very very likely getting into GMU.  Yes, we know, you know a kid somewhere who had a 3.4 who didn't get it.  There are a FEW (very few) exceptions.  But, looking at the data -- an applicant with a 3.0-3.1 or higher is going to get into GMU.  [/quote]

you are an idiot. the 75th percentile for GPA last year was a 4.0. the ; 75th percentile was a 3.75 and the bottom 25th percentile was a 3.45. https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp[/quote]

DP: Yes, but it's a big enough school where there are a lot of kids still in the 0-25th percentile.  You can look at the GPA distribution on the CDS.  The acceptance rate is 90%.  [b]If you have a 3.0 you have a very strong chance of getting in.[/quote][/b]

No, you don't.  And the bottom 25th percentile is usually reserved for the hooked kids.[/quote]

That's only at selective schools--the bottom 25th percent of a school that accepts 90% of its applicants are just the bottom 25th percent of applicants.  [b]I think GMU is a great school and I think it's a very good thing that there is an excellent state school that you have a very good chance (not certain) with a 3.0.  [/quote][/b]

not when schev reports the bottom 25th percent of the class has a 4.20[/quote]

At GMU? No way.[/quote]

GMU's 75th/mid/25th is 4.0 / 3.75 / 3.45[/quote]
