okay so… jmu is my number 1 and im so scared about getting in. i think everything is pretty stellar except for my ACT/SAT scores.
im a girl and i go to a competitive public hs in fairfax va. i applied early action
i have a 3.782 gpa, my mom and sister went to jmu, my extracurriculars are pretty good, my personal statement is great.
my test scores are definitely weighing me down though. i have a 530 on the math section of my sat, a 460 in reading, and a 470 in writing (7 on my essay not that it matters). i sent these scores.
on my SAT i have a 20… (21 on english, 21 on math, 20 on reading, 18 on science). i sent them while they were free, before i had seen the score- i clearly wouldnt have if id known what my score was. im retaking them both in december.
im taking an expensive prep course so hopefully ill do better. JMU wants to see between a 520 and 620 on SAT reading, and between a 530 & 630 on math. they want to see between a 23 & 27 on the ACT.
idk if i would even get in but if i did does it look like i would get accepted early, differed and then accepted regular, differed and then wait listed or denied? im almost positive ill get differed in the first round but how is it looking for me?
