<p>I talked to my counselor and he said I was "borderline" for Virginia Tech and James Madison University, two of my top choices. Can anyone give any input? Here is my data:</p>

<p>Major: International Studies/Affairs

- Freshman: 3.42
- Sophomore: 3.42
- Junior: 3.8
- Senior: 4.1 - so far...
SAT: 1880/2400 (600 CR, 680 Math, 600 Writing)
ACT: 28 Composite (30 English, 28 Math)
Took three years of German
In-State (Fairfax County)
AP's: 11th Grade - AP Music Theory (A), AP U.S. History (B). 12th Grade - AP Psychology (A-), AP Government (A-)
Honor's Classes: Took all available honor's except for English classes.
Tons of community service, including tutoring and working with homeless.
EC: National Honor Society, Marching Band and Concert Band all four years, Indoor Drumline in 10/11th grade, Star Scout (Boy Scouts), my church's Youth Group, Babe Ruth Baseball.
Ethnicity: White (unfortunately ethnicity does factor in lol)</p>

<p>bump yall…</p>

<p>JMU is like a 90% chance… VA Tech is like a 70% chance. Your SAT scores are good, but your GPA might hurt you a little for VA Tech…</p>

7

<p>bumpers…</p>

<p>I think you’re very likely to get into JMU! You should choose it over Tech anyway :wink: Either way good luck!</p>
