<p>Hi, </p>
<p>anyone from New Hampshire who is a student at James Madison University?</p>
<p>My son will be a freshman this fall. What town are you from? There is also a girl from his class who will be attending.</p>
<p>I'm in Nashua and entering my junior year and read have many great things about James Madison, and what was the difficultly of being admitted to JMU. I currently have an overall B+ average and am taking the SAT in the fall, and what is your son's major?</p>
<p>I am a professor at JMU who is from NH, and still works in NH during the summer. In general the average GPA for admitted JMU students is a 3.6 with a rigorous course load including APs, Dual Enrollment, and/ or IB courses. JMU seems to look strongly at your grades in CORE courses -- English, Math, Science, History, Language. </p>
<p>Feel free to contact me with any other questions.</p>
<p>My son had a B average (he is your classic under acheiver). He had strong SAT's and EC. He thought he would have no chance because of his GPA. The fact that he is a male from NH must have helped. My son is interested in Marketing and Psychology. The other students that were accepted from his school were girls with an A averages. As far as we know he was the only male to apply this year. If you are a male, I would say you have a good chance being accepted.</p>
<p>Thank you for all of your responses. I look forward to learning more about James Madison University.</p>
<p>Yeah -- a 3.6 average must mean that there are students below 3.6 as well as above :)... I think that JMU also does look at ECs, recs., essays, etc.. and put all of that into the package.</p>
<p>KatMT, what do you teach at JMU?</p>
<p>I coordinate the Musical Theatre Concentration in the School of Theatre and Dance.</p>
