What is my chance at JMU??

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I've posted on this website before, but i'm really hoping to find out some answers.</p>

<p>JMU is by far my number one choice, and i really really hope i can get in there. It's definitely a reach for me, but i hope it works out.</p>

<p>My GPA is 2.73 (not high, but i come from a well-known private school in my area)
Applied Regular Decision</p>

<p>SAT: 1200 out of 1600 and 1760 out of 2400</p>

<p>Many extracurricular activities:</p>

<p>Model United Nations Club
Asian Student Union
Intramural sports every year of high school
I volunteer at a homeless shelter every other week
Boosters club
And multiple other clubs and activities throughout high school.</p>

<p>I asked a present JMU student that i am friends with to write me a letter of recommendation, which she did. Also, the headmaster of my school called the admissions office as a certain recommendation type thing.</p>

<p>Two teachers from my school wrote recommendation letters, along with my college counselor.
I don't believe I am missing anything else.</p>

<p>I think you have decent chances. GPA is a little bit low… (Is it out of 4 or 3.5?)
But you seem well qualified.
Best of Luck! Hope you get in.</p>

<p>chance me back please!</p>

<p>My GPA is out of 4, i believe. My Freshman and Sophomore grades weren’t too good, but i’ve increased my grades over the years. For the first semester of Senior year, i received all B’s and some A’s.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot though!</p>

<p>JMU has gotten more competitive as of late because of its really good prices. It was smart of you to apply there regular decision because typically with early action they only take kids that take honors courses (my friend who has a 3.6 gpa, and an 1850 on the SATs didn’t get in on the first round because she doesn’t take honors classes). The fact that you go to a private school, and have decent SATs means that you have a chance. Don’t give up hope, after all, anything is possible :smiley: Good luck!!</p>

<p>I got into jmu ea. You have a solid sat score but that gpa is what is gonna bother you. I think their average is like 3.6 ish so it might be a little reach. But as long as ur taking hard classes honors and APs u stl have a chance. I got into UMD which was a reach for me so anything is possible. Goodluck I hope you get in.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for telling me what you think my chance is! I don’t really believe i’ll get it, even though I want to go more than anything. </p>

<p>My grades went up to a 3.0-3.3 for my first semester of senior year, so hopefully that’ll help when my first semester grades get sent to the admissions counselor at JMU.</p>

<p>The deadline is a little more than a month away!! </p>

<a href=“Institutional Research - JMU”>Institutional Research - JMU; --Common Data Set Listing for the current freshman class at JMU.</p>

<p>The average GPA is a 3.84. Only 1% of students have below a 3.0 GPA. 82% have a 3.5 or above. Your SAT look to be above the 50th percentile.</p>

<p>JMU does look at upward trend in grades and rigor of HS course load.</p>

<p>Decisions are often sent at the end of March. Good Luck! :)</p>

<p>Oh okay, thanks a lot for telling me what you think my chances are!</p>

<p>That 1% of people with a GPA lower than 3.0 is a bit of a bummer, however.</p>

<p>Can anyone else please give me their honest opinion of what you believe my chance of getting in is?</p>

<p>Very much appreciated!!</p>
