<p>After 51.5 Credits at a small private college, my gpa is a 3.17. My SAT score is Math: 690 and Reading: 630. </p>
<p>At the end of the term i will have a 3.25</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting accepted into PSU or JMU with a 3.17?
And would they improve that much if i waited until the end of the term (i can for PSU, but past deadline for JMU)</p>
<p>Also,
School im at is Drexel
High School GPA was 3.24 which probably is irrelevant</p>

<p>what is your major??</p>

<p>Penn State is a little harder to get in as a transfer but you’ve got a shot. According to collegeboard, Penn State has a 44% acceptance rate for transfers while JMU accepts about 64%.The stats were based on Fall 2009 applications. I guess you could apply later for Penn State but i dont think it would make much of a difference, and you will also be competing for a limited amount of space. I think you have a better shot at JMU than Penn State but you should def. give both schools a try. I am also an applicant to JMU this fall for their CIS program in the Business department. Anyway all the best with the applications!!</p>
<p>Has anyone been accepted to either recently with a similar GPA?</p>
<p>I transferred to JMU from Virginia Tech with a 3.4. I had a 3.6 in high school. I was also in-state which might have been a factor. I believe it is worth trying. If you really want to go to either of those schools you have to be 100% committed, and your committment will likely show through your essays.</p>
<p>What has been your experience at jmu kindaslick89?</p>
