What do you think my chances are of getting off the JMU waitlist? And is there anything I can do to increase my chances? I applied as a business major and many people say it may be because of that. I am also interested in minoring in physics do you think I should mention that?

Honestly I’m shocked you were waitlisted. Your SAT, APs, and ECs are all great. Only thing that could possibly be low was GPA. What is your GPA weighted and unweighted?
I got waitlisted this year with a 1230 SAT, 3.9GPA, 2APs, and less ECs than you. I’m surprised too.
@Virginia1129 My weighted GPA when I applied was a 3.67 and my school doesn’t state unweighted but I’m assuming around 3.4? which is about average for JMU and not the highest but I was just still shocked after taking 9 APs and being steadily involved. I’m surprised you were waitlisted as well, it just stinks knowing that what I worked so hard for other people received without working as hard/:
