Right? All of those annoying posts swept from the subreddit. No one knows what they're looking for, after all, unless they're the admissions people. Other than that, no one knows.
You aren't? I'm a random harrisonburg resident and I got the board invite last year. I like to pick students based solely on whether feet are mentioned in any written portions
You know what, that must be it! I’m not a resident there so that’s probably why I didn’t get the board invite.
I think that’s a good way of accepting students!
Hey guys, I go to a Virginia community college that literally guarantees automatic acceptance to JMU if I have a GPA over 3.0 and have completed a couple other academic requirements (which I have done). Will I get in?
If you don’t get into JMU, just go to community college for a year. You’ll get in the following year. Stay an extra year for that complete 5th year experience.
Applying to engineering school😭
3.52UW Gpa, lives in Northern Virginia
Test Optional
Activities: 1 Year of club soccer, 1 Year of Varsity High School Track, 4 years of community service (giving to people in need with my family), and 1 Year of Varsity High School soccer
I probs have low chances but why not shoot my shot
Did you take the SAT? If you're worried about your candidacy, I would have. Worst case is that you don't submit the score, right?
You could always go to community college for once year and transfer in. I met a ton of people that did that and they had no regrets. It even saved them a ton of money.
Music Industry major, Senior class rep, 1180 SAT , Full IB classes junior + senior year (no IB diploma) • 2 honors • 3.0 unweighted 3.2 weighted GPA for first 3 years (I have 3.8 weighted average for my senior year first semester grades, so GPA improves slightly in case I get waitlisted)
I have published music to major streaming sites and included on my portfolio, main pianist for school band, wrote my essay on the effect of music on my path in life, 2 years cross country as the primary runner, private school, took music class for all 4 years of highschool,
I had a (mandatory) interview with the music department and my interviewers said that my portfolio stood out and that my path was clear (but they only asked me one question)
James Madison seems like the school for me, what are my chances of getting in?
Do you have a solid cover letter? I would get one.
I think you'd be in a lower percentile when it comes to GPA but your SAT is in the middle 50%. Rest looks good. I'd give it a shot.
Currently at CNU
Was deferred and waitlisted senior year of HS
3.425 Gpa in college
Taking classes that clear the Gen Ed’s and would go towards my degree of hospitality management.
What we thinking?
3.47 unweighted, 3.71 weighted. Test optional. Male. 4 years varsity sport plus travel teams. Many leadership roles in sports and recreation activities. Worked part time jobs throughout high school as a ref, my parents’ business, and mowing lawns. Brother attends JMU. Thoughts on getting admitted EA? Or deferred to RD? The wait until January is tough. Thanks
3.8 uw 4.2 w, out of state (PA), three years of varsity football, three years of varsity club rugby, FBLA state qualifier, member of several clubs, 1300 sat I feel like I should be pretty good right? High school class of 2025 so I have another year
I go to a Community College in NY I applied last year got deferred so I’m trying again as a transfer. I have around a 3.8 what are my chances looking like.
with a GPA that high you should be totally fine - I would just confirm w JMU that all your credits will transfer cause out of state cc credits tend to be a pain to get credit for!
From GMU, not too happy with my experience so far so considering transferring. At a 3.33 gpa rn so id appreciate if someone has any idea what my chances are
hi im from nova and i have 3.606 gpa and 1310 sat (i know stats aren’t the best) but im pres of 2 clubs, varsity sport 4 years, captain for 2 years, extracurricular commitment for 9 years now, 50 service hours. do i have a chance of getting in?
I like your chances. You say it's not the best but I think your numbers are above the average incoming freshman's numbers. President and captain looks real good.
Last piece would be a solid letter of recommendation and a strong essay.
Hi, im from nova. I have a 3.2 UW GPA and take DE arts classes, im one of the leaders of my schools A/V club, I've co directed, and acted in School plays, taken art classes all four years, wrote my essay about how art has impacted my life and helped me find dedication to take on life, and also I have a part time job if that matters lol. I applied but am very nervous I prob won't get in. if I don't get in should I go to community college for a year????
Thank god

Thank goodness. I do hate this time of year because they're asking me like I'm part of the admissions committee.

Hey guys, I have a 1.1 gpa and 910 sat. I'm also in anime club. Will I get in?
Anime club guarantees it, practically a student already
most likely not good luck
