How competitive is JMU?

What are my chances of getting into JMU (James Madison University)?

  • I am currently a junior in High School and I'm just extremely nervous I won't get into my top school, James Madison University. My weighted GPA is about a 3.5... I know... Not the best :c So far I have taken three AP classes and I'm planning on taking 2 more senior year. AP World History: Score (3) AP Language (To be tested) (expected grade:4) AP US History (To be tested) (expected grade:4) AP Statistics (Senior year) AP Literature (Senior year) Sat Scores (First test) Math: 590 Reading: 560: Writing: 570 (1720 total) (Planning on taking it again) I am in my school's Spanish Honors Society, Math Honors Society, and planning to join more clubs; perhaps science or young republicans. I've taken a lot of Honors classes throughout my school year, I am going to take Spanish 4 next year, and I've been in AVID for 3 years; a college prep class that is a national demonstration site for creating strong college students. Freshman year I actively did sports all three seasons, sophomore and this year I was in a full-year round swim club, breaking school records and keeping states on my mind, I'm also a captain. (4 or 5 practices a week for two and a half hours each, with sometimes 4 am practices!) So far I already have four letters of recommendations: two coming from perfect students from Virginia Tech and William & Mary, (Math & English teacher) My current AP Language teacher, whose recommendations have gotten an older student into John Hopkins! And My final letter from my AVID teacher, who was a double graduate from James Madison and is well known for bringing successful students to college. My only family relations is my sister who was a double major in JMU. I also volunteer at my INOVA hospital near my school and I am a junior coach at my summer league swim team. Sorry if it's a lot but I really appreciate it if someone could help me out! I'm freaking out already! :(

  • Answer:

    I think everything besides your test scores are looking really good. That's a great resume; get your SATs up and I think you're in no problem. Good luck. I recommend some sort of prep class or tutor to prepare.
