[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here.  AI says the admit rates was 55 percent in 2000, 70 percent in 2008 and 80 percent in 2026, and says at the turn of the century it only trailed UVA and W&M.  That's consistent with my understanding.[/quote]

Why would it start to become less selective? 
[/quote]

Other schools like VT and JMU became a lot more selective. More kids want the bigger college experience. UMW is very small, doesn't have big sports programs, not a lot going on. Its perfectly fine, just not what a lot of kids want in a college experience.[/quote]

JMU is also less selective now than back then, so nope.[/quote]
That's actually not true. JMU is getting harder and harder to get into.[/quote]

the acceptance rate was 60 percent in 2000, 54 percent in 2010, 80 percent in 2020, and in the high 60s today.  so while it's gotten more selective since 2020, it was still more selective in 2000 and 2010 than it is today.  [/quote]

JMU has also gotten larger in the past 20-30 years, so that's part of the reason it appears "less selective" in the 2015-2020 range.[/quote]

It also just joined the Common App a couple years ago and doing that generates more applications which will naturally make the admit rate go down.[/quote]

Right. That's in line with the 54% -> 80% -> high 60's %[/quote]
