What chance do I have at James Madison?

<p>I really like the school. Im african american and native american. I have a 3.0 gpa. I take all advanced classes and two ap's. My sat was in the 1500's. Would james madison ever accept a 3.0? Dont they need a few below average students? Anywhere else I could apply to? I have to stay in virginia.</p>

<p>Nowhere in lynchburg, because I already live there.
vcu was horribe
randolph macon was tiny
mary washington was okay, it might be a reach though</p>

<p>I have no clue. I'd prefer to be near a city or in a suburburban area.</p>

<p>It’s quite the reach, to be honest, but being a double urm might help.</p>

<p>Look into CNU and George Mason, both are good alternatives to JMU and Mary Washington. Longwood too if it isn’t too close.</p>

<p>my mom said george mason was too big. i really wanted to visit though. longwood was okay.</p>

<p>any other suggestions?</p>
