Well it has happened so not sure why you are saying it’s not happening. Many students do get accepted to JMU with a 3.3.
Again, not according to SCHEV. Which is far more accurate than Naviance. -DP

This is very misleading. These are the profiles of the students who accepted and went to the school. Not those accepted.

My DS has these stats and ended up being accepted to ODU, York of Pa., Northern Arizona University, ASU and the University of Arizona. The Arizona schools pretty much accept anyone with a 3.0 and actually offer merit scholarships above the 3.0 level that make them more affordable for OOS students. Ultimately our son chose Radford. Why? His major had a good program at that school and DS was also reflective on what kind of school would offer him the best chance for success. Radford understands their student body (average students) and leans forward to make them successful.
For those of us with average kids, this is an important point. More prestigious schools make not be the best fit even if your child is accepted--I know that my son would not have thrilled in a large public university. I think he knew what he needed and made a good choice. (I was impressed with York, by the way, but my son never liked it).

This is data from enrolled students, not admitted. Big difference!

And I say this as someone who didn't go to a highly rated school myself, but I think it makes way more sense, including financially, to go the cc route and aim for a better college.
What if your performance is still only average in community college, like they were in high school? What does that do for your transfer opportunities?
Likely just a direct move to the coal mines as your only exit opportunity.

Are you a JMU booster? It’s ok really if 3.3 kids get in. It’s still a fine school.

Which southern publics? This website would have you believe you need a 4.0 to get into many of them.
Likely southern directional universities.
Also my friend took her sons to Appalachian state last week and were surprised they liked it so much. Maybe check out that one.

Not for W&M. Schev reversed W&M’s ACT math and English scores I believe.

In the nearby area, GMU, VCU, UMW, UMBC, WVU, U Del, and possibly JMU are all options. But if you are looking for a different type of school, you should refine your question.
3.3 would be a reach for GMU and JMU.
3.3 would not be a reach for GMU. JMU is harder to get in but chances are not bad.
Do you people look at Naviance or just make stuff up?
Do you look at SCHEV, or just take the word for the self-reported Naviance, which also only uses senior year grades? SCHEV is the most accurate reporting you're going to get.
