Hi All,
My son is interested in studying IR, his primary school choices are JMU and W&M with a strong preference for JMU. I’ve read on-line that W&M is much stronger for IR, but JMU seems to have a very good program, with lots of overseas study opportunities. If anyone is an IR student at JMU, I’d love to get your thoughts. He wants to focus on politics/diplomacy, not business.
Also, would love to get a rating of his chances for the honors program:
GPA: 3.90 / 4.12 (W)
SAT: 1470 (780 verbal, 690 math, no essay)
SATII: 760 in both US history and world history, and a 580 in Spanish (he took them as he’s also applying to Georgetown)
ECs: Eagle Scout, captain of scholastic bowl team, four years of JROTC with many activities in the program, Boys State delegate, Model UN deputy secretary, international club, and a part-time job
Good recs /essay.
Thank you!
