<p>ive already gotten accepted to Rutgers University </p>
<p>do you think i'll get in to JMU? i applied for Early Action... do you think i'll get accepted?</p>
<p>honestly, you’ll probably get deferred </p>
<p>im also from NJ and my stats are higher and im very nervous about not getting in</p>
<p>either way i wish u luck!! i think we’ll find out within the next week</p>
<p>it is very possible but remember many of the deferrals do eventually get in. I knowthat last year i saw a bunch of random decisions that seemed not to make sense to me - particularly high score/high GPA kids deferred. My D had similar UW gpa of yours, and a little higher SAT/ACT scores, but did get accepted, which we were thinking she would be deferred. You should know soon.</p>
<p>pyeccs - Here are some stats from my d’s in-state public hs that might help. There were over 100 applicants from this school last year. 60% were accepted. The avg weighted gpa was 3.9 (school weights only AP and IB, one full quality point, e.g. A=5). Avg 3-part SAT was over 1800. I would imagine out-of-state would be a little higher, on average. Of course, some students were accepted with lower stats, so you never know. But JMU is not as easy to get into as it once was.</p>
<p>Here are the overall admissions stats from their most recent Common Data Set:</p>

<p>Also, from what I hear, they are tougher in the early round. Then a lot of the deferred applicants end up getting accepted later on.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>i got in! so happy</p>
<p>Congratz! A lot of my friends got deferred which is making me nervous cuz I’m doing regular decision. I have similar stats like you except I took all regular classes, 1 AP, and 1600 on SAT(620 math, 490 reading, 490 writing) You think I have a chance ? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1408561-what-my-chances-gmu-jmu-vtech.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1408561-what-my-chances-gmu-jmu-vtech.html</a></p>
<p>i think you’ll get in RD. unfortunately, JMU carefully looks at your courseload and how rigorous it is, which is why i think i got in. i’m taking college-level calculus as a senior with 2 APs and all honors classes. you have a strong chance getting into JMU RD.</p>
<p>I’m nervous because i took only 1 AP class(and it was bs) and I got a C lol(i had problems with my teacher and switched to another teacher)
But a lot of my friends got deferred and they had similar stats but took some AP’s.</p>
<p>got accepted btw! good luck pyecs!!</p>
