<p>You are below the mid-range stats for the freshman class that entered in 2008/ 2009. I believe these stats have gone up for the 2009/ 2010 freshman class. The SAT scores listed are for the Reading & Math only, and do not include the Writing score.</p>

<p>from the JMU Admissions website (<a href=“Admissions Facts - JMU):%5B/url%5D”>Admissions Facts - JMU):</a></p>

<p>2008 - 2009 Freshman Class Profile</p>

<pre><code>* Average SAT Score: 1140

    • SAT mid-50 percent range: 1100-1230
    • ACT mid-50 percent range: 24-28

<p>Competitive candidates will have mostly As and Bs in the core academic areas (English, math, lab science, social science and foreign language)</p>

<p>Competitive candidates for admission will have taken upper level coursework in the core academic areas (i.e. Honors, AP, IB, Dual Enrollment) when available in their high school.</p>

<p>Ekalb3-in my opinion, your GPA is great, your SAT’s are low for JMU, but I believe your OOS/NY, and your URM, under represented minority, will carry you in. Good Luck, it’s a great school. My son is a sophomore/OOS/NY.</p>
