[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jmu is a great school and we have c suite people at my Fortune 500 people who went there. I’d be happy if that was one of the schools my kid chose. [/quote]

What makes it great? [/quote]

DP.  Smart, nice students, excellent professors, wide range of majors, beautiful setting, lots of activities for all kinds of interests, good post-grad outcomes.  [/quote]

What’s your objective criteria that defines “smart” kids.  The stats aren’t high and most kids apply TO.[/quote]

You realize the vast majority of students at ALL schools (that have TO policies) go test optional these days - right?  Not really the gotcha you'd like it to be.  [/quote]

Sure...the schools that accept perfectly average kids.  The vast majority of colleges are for average kids which is fine.

So, that means JMU is filled with average kids.  Stating a fact isn't a gotcha...it's just a fact.[/quote]

I really had to laugh at your obtuse post. Here are just some of the many other schools that are TO.  All filled with average kids, per your “logic.”

Carnegie Mellon
Boston University 
Columbia
Duke
Johns Hopkins
Cornell
Princeton
UPenn
Amherst
UVA
W&M

Hmmm...well, actually most of the schools above have a majority of accepted applicants that submit tests (with JHU requiring tests next year)...and the ones that do submit create an insane SAT range.

So, perhaps you may reconsider your thinking when JMU has only 26% submitting and of that 26% the range is 1180 to 1310.

Compare that to say...JHU which has 55% submitting and an SAT range of 1530 to 1560.

Or let's compare that to Princeton that has 77% of admitted students submitting with an SAT range of 1510 to 1560.[/quote]
