[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of surprise deferments and eventual waitlists for JMU from my child's high school last year.  I'm definitely curious what the acceptance rate will show when the CDS for this year is posted.  3.5 weighted wouldn't get you in from Virginia last year, not sure about out of state.[/quote]

The acceptance rate for 2023-2024 was 75%.  Jeff deleted my  prior comment that included that objective fact, I guess because I went on to say that a 75% acceptance rate is non-selective.  That subjective opinion, though widely shared by high school counselors, was evidently upsetting enough to readers to report the straightforward comment.  
Here are the facts:

Yes, the previous year was 75%.  That was why I said there were a lot of surprise deferments and eventual waitlists.  And also said why I'm curious what the CDS will show for those that are freshmen this year.  Please pay attention.[/quote]

I am tracking but I am confused as to why lots of people from your school were not admitted, when most people are.  [/quote]

I don't think you are tracking because you don't know that most people were admitted because as I keep mentioning they haven't released the acceptance rate for current freshman yet.  But its not just my school, I heard that there were a lot of surprises from other schools.  Which probably means the rate was lower this past admissions cycle.  Several of the kids that I know that didn't get in only applied ot JMU because they thought they were a shoe in and had to scramble to apply to other places once they got waitlisted.[/quote]
