Decisions are up.
Best luck to all
I got in!! Super happy since I was waitlisted from Tech earlier this month
@Hokies23 I noticed on the VT site you were a Geoscience major. Did you apply Geology for JMU? If so, and you have any questions about the program let me know. My son is currently a senior in this major at JMU. Congratulations
I’m happy to report that my son got into JMU. Both my wife and I are alumns so we’re excited for him.
Thank you! I will definitely ask you guys if I have questions @bboop42 @Time2Shine
Denied. Bummer. It was a reach anyway - good luck to everyone!!!
Waitlisted with a 3.9GPA, 1230 SAT
@Virginia1129 I really don’t understand how admissions makes decisions anymore.
@Time2Shine I’m pretty surprised. I only had a couple APs and a few ECs but I never thought of JMU as being a super selective school. Not to mention I was a legacy applicant.
My son is in
Got accepted with a weighted GPA of 3.78 and SAT of 1460.
The acceptance letter said they received over 24,000 applications for 4,625 spots. It seems like VA publics were all flooded with record numbers of applications this year.
Apps appear to have increased around 14% or 3k compared to the last 2 years.

Admitted. 3.51 weighted gpa did not submit act or sat scores. Lost of extracurricular and volunteer activities. Did not think I was going to go get in with my Junior year being so rough had 3 c’s first semester and final semester I was able to bring up my grades and only have 1 c.
Waitlisted. Congrats to all who were accepted!
Waitlisted. Not really bummed because i’m leaning heavily towards another school, but accepted waitlist offer just in case.
Waitlisted lowkey salty about it since I drove 8 hours to do duke for a day and went to a local information session that was 4 hours long, oh well. I didn’t have a 4.0 like some people who got waitlisted, just wished I didn’t invest so much time into it.
Denied. 3.49 GPA, 1230 SAT. Best of luck to everyone else
