<p>I think you have a really good chance, because you have good grades in tough classes (I count 12 IB). JMU is also trying very hard to increase diversity, so being African American will help, as that is group that is underrepresented at JMU. Only thing I see missing in your transcript is foreign language. Did you take any?</p>
