Chance of getting into James Madison University RD?

<p>Chance of getting into James Madison University RD?
Also applying to George Mason and Vtech, but JMU is my #1.</p>

<p>My stats:
SAT: 1110/1600 (M 620 CR 490 WR 490)
GPA: unweighted 3.56 (I think weighted is not that different)
Ethnicity: Black (If that helps)
All regular classes, 1 AP class(AP psych, got a C :/ had problems with teahcer, but the class was BS)
Academic Letter</p>

<p>ECs:
French Honor Society (2 years)
DECA (1 year)
Track and Field (1 year)
French Club (2 years)
Chess Club (2 years)</p>

<p>I'm really nervous because a lot of people got deferred from early action.
Thanks</p>

<p>I think you have a really good shot :slight_smile: Pretty much the same stats as mine! The only thing that might mess you up is the fact that you’ve only taken 1 AP class. Apparently they aren’t looking at GPA this year because it’s so subjective but rather focusing on course load, SATs, and ECs. Good luck! Let me know if you get in! I’M SO NERVOUS!</p>

<p>Thanks! I’m really nervous too! So many of my friends with similar and higher stats got deferred. The waiting is going to be painful! You think they can send out the decision before April 1st?</p>

<p>I heard that RD applicants will hear by March 1st. good luck to all! my daughter is waiting to hear.</p>

<p>Good luck to your daughter!
Bump please.</p>

<p>RD applicants generally do not hear until the middle or end of March. March 1 is earlier than in previous years.</p>

<p>@KatMT Do you think I have a chance?</p>

<p>Just got accepted to George Mason University! Very happy and relieved!</p>

<p>I do not generally chance people, because I work at JMU (although not in admissions) and don’t want it to be construed as definitive in any way.</p>

<p>@KatMT But do you think I should have my hopes up or not?</p>

<p>I really can’t say one way or another. My personal advice is to put it out of your head as much as possible. Nothing you can do about it now, and the end of March will be here soon.</p>

<p>that seems late? other schools are looking for deposits before that but I guess in the end you have until May 1st to commit.</p>

<p>JMU is not a rolling admission school, and the admissions schedule follows more closely to the April 1 date that most non-rolling admissions schools used to go by for sending out acceptance. Many still do use this date.</p>

<p>Any school that s asking for a deposit before May 1 should refund the deposit up until May 1 if a student changes their mind. <a href=“http://www.nacacnet.org/research/PublicationsResources/Marketplace/student/Documents/StudentsRtsNEW.pdf[/url]”>http://www.nacacnet.org/research/PublicationsResources/Marketplace/student/Documents/StudentsRtsNEW.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Hey, we’re anxiously waiting for Tech and Madison too. 28 ACT and 3.4 GPA. Applied to GMU, VCU, CNU, W&M, UR, and Kentucky. We’ve only heard from VCU and Kentucky - both accepted. We really want to hear from Tech #2 and JMU our #1. Good luck.</p>

<p>JMU1989… Good luck!! I hate the waiting. I am guessing that we won’t hear anything until atleast the 3rd week in March from Tech and probably later from JMU.</p>

<p>DD got accepted!!! JMU 1989 have you heard anything?? Just a couple more hours and it will all be over…</p>

<p>Accepted to JMU. Waitlisted at Tech.</p>

<p>Waitlisted at JMU. Do you think I should keep my hopes up or just go to Geroge Mason?</p>
