Chance me! JMU

I applied EA for James Madison University and got deferred :frowning: JMU is my #1 and I was so disappointed. I have a 3.95 GPA (weighted), ranked 18 out of 81 in my HS, and 1180 on SAT. I have 12 college credits (4 dual enrollment classes) and have taken 2-4 AP classes (all As or Bs). Im super worried that I wont get accepted during RD.

Mother attended JMU

Pretty solid personal statement
Selected Biology as major

44% of the students that got deferred last year got in regular decision. I can’t really say anything beyond that because I find JMU’s selection process a bit baffling.
