: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]

It is painful to respond to this stupidity.

If your gpa is 3.0, you are getting into GMU unless there is something really odd happening.  I'm not dissing GMU.  My hs junior who got a 1440 (98th%) on the PSAT is planning to go there.  But facts are facts. A 3.0-3.1 is tbe "cut line" for GMU.  There may be a few odd exceptions, but they are not the rule.

[b][b]Similarly, at JMU, a 3.3-3.4 gets you in (with a few rare exceptions).[/b][/quote]

DP.  What many of us are trying to tell you is that this is not the case.  And while GMU may have been mentioned (by you), the topic of this thread is JMU.  [/quote]

SCHEV's reporting would say that you are wrong.  It has the 75th percentile of last year's incoming class at a 4.11; median at 3.89 and bottom 25th of the class at a 3.65.[/quote]
