<p>I've posted this before, but I wanted to elaborate a little more on my letter grades and get wide range of opinions. Honestly this is completely pointless. What happens is gunna happen but if you're a senior right now going through the admissions process then you understand why I keep posting these threads....</p>
<p>In case you don't know...chance me for James Madison University? Please?</p>
<p>GPA: It's not calculated yet but it will definetely be a 3.5 or over.
Class Rank: Top 25%
SAT:
CR- 630
Math- 520
Writing- 580</p>
<p>Academics:
-I have taken 5 years of math, 4 years of English, 4 years of Social Studies/ History, 4 years of Spanish, 4 years of Science (3 years with a lab), 4 years Theatre and Arts Electives, 2 years of P.E.,1 year of a community service elective, and 1 year of an academic elective.
-Of the above I have taken all Honors and 6 APs (AP U.S. History, AP English Language, AP Psychology, AP English Literature, AP Government, AP Statistics)
-I have recieved A's and B's in 23/29 (3 C pluses, 2 C's, and a D plus) classes. However my school is on a different, stricter grading scale than all of our surrounding counties and the colleges so if they re-calculate my grades, I have recieved A's and B's in 26/29 (3 C's) classes. All of my bad grades have been in math courses or science courses that include a lot of math. Math isn't my strong point and I'm applying as an English major so hopefully they'll notice that correlation and cut me some slack. At the same time, I read on JMU's website that "competitive applicants have mostly A's and B's." TECHNICALLY I have mostly A's and B's but still....</p>

<p>They accept 60% of applicants, I believe college board said last year they accepted 13,705 out of 22, 864 applicants. I'm so nervous. I can't even imagine what about me would make me get in over the 9,000ish rejected applicants....this is not a fun time haha</p>
<p>My problem is if you look at things JMU looks for I have everything, except I'm concerned that I don't have all A's and B's......</p>
<p>Anyone chance me and leave a link to your chance thread and I'll chance you back.</p>
