<p>You are pretty much set.</p>

<p>Rumors has it that JMU rejects those with extremely high scores cause they know they will get rejected in the end.</p>

<p>dor43mon... i have fairly high scores... a 3.9 weighted, 3.7 unweighted GPA; a 2000 SAT score, and all honors and AP classes in English and History... will have taken a total of 6 APs by the time I graduate</p>

<p>However, I am seriously considering JMU. I don't want to get rejected because my stats are "too high." that'd be ridiculous, so my stats aren't too high, right? Also, does the fact that I'm Asian help me out in any way at JMU? I was looking through JMUs diversity numbers and it seems that all minorities, including Asians, were URMs.</p>

<p>also, will doing early action help considerably? I mean it's non binding, I might as well do it...</p>

<p>They do reject some people with high scores? weird. it seems to me that when Tech rejects someone JMU accepts or the other way around. Thats how it has been for students at my school.</p>

<p>maybe Tech and JMU coordinate with each other to make sure that no one kid gets accepted into both Tech and JMU lol</p>

<p>Harvard - Accepted
Princeton - Accepted
Virginia Tech - Accepted
James Mad. Uni. - REJECTED</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>MIT - Accepted
Yale - Accepted
James Mad. Uni. - Accepted
VA Tech - REJECTED</p>

<p>Could you imagine that? lol</p>

<p>haha yeah that would be so weird</p>
