<p>Dropped 60 points to an 1810… :frowning: Ma/Cr - 600/610</p>

<p>JMU is pretty close to a smack dab in the middle match. Hopkins is a reach and CMU is a high reach for sure. CMU’s a toughie for a lot of people though, so don’t get too bent out of shape about it.</p>

<p>Okay. I figured CMU and JHU wouldn’t be realistic. What would my chances for scholarships at JMU be? My family declared Chapter 13 Bankruptcy the summer before my Freshman year and will be in effect until my Jr. year of college. Unfortunately, we technically make $170,000 a year, but a majority of it is spent on bankruptcy payments (which aren’t counted on FAFSA).</p>
