Any input would be great!
I think you have a good chance.
I think you may get deferred to regular admission and then be admitted.
Our high school had over 60 kids go to JMU this year. Very few got in early action. Only the high stat kids (like over 1400 on SATs and GPA over 4.25) got in early. The rest got deferred, but were ultimately accepted.
So, if you are deferred, don’t panic.
That said, you offer a bit of desirable diversity, so that might get you in via early action. Good luck!
Thank you!
