<p>Also, should I apply early action, or not?</p>
<p>1.) learn how to spell competitor
2.) Your SAT is about right at the 25th% which isn’t great, but at least its within range. Get it up to a 1700 or even 1670 and I would say you have a decent shot.
3. That’s a low weighted GPA but then again, I’m not really familiar with JMU. I would say you need a UW GPA of at least 3.3 and then a weighted GPA of about 3.7 (but that’s just me) </p>
<p>Sorry that wasn’t much help, but good luck!</p>
<p>I would appreciate a longer, more indepth response with some actual statistics and personal accounts or experiences with the school. Also I dont understand why you commented when you “arent familiar with the school”…but thats just me.</p>
<p>I am decently familiar with the school. I thought you wanted some help, excuse me. I gave you your SAT match up, and tried to help you. Someone’s being a little prissy…like damn. </p>
<p>JMU is my dream school too. I have the same GPA and I have been looking around a lot and people with 3.5s can definitely get accepted. You need to get your SAT up, the Reading+Math needs to be in the 1200 range. Your EC’s are alright, and they really like it when applicants have had jobs so the lifeguarding looks really good. Write a strong personal statement that will make you stand out, your stats are borderline so you have to make them like you. Good luck!</p>
<p>Also, just go ahead and apply early action, I am, it can’t hurt.</p>
