Comment what your most difficult high school year was!
freshman definitely
freshman year for sure
Hi there. For anybody that’s worried about their academics for JMU admissions, I ended high school a 3.329 unweighted GPA. My class rank was bottom 50% (my high school was incredibly competitive academically). I took 3 AP classes, no dual enrollment, and an ACT composite of 22 (I do horrible on multi hour standardized testing). I’m an out of state student that wants to study theatre. I was admitted and I attend JMU, you’re fine.
Ethan Estrem got in with the same gpa but didn’t take any AP and an 1110 SAT
Ethan Estrem out of state tuition is expensive though and I already have 3 siblings in college so is there anyway to help with that?
Were you in state or out of state?
Julia Peterson I would say the best way to combat that is to apply for scholarships and fill out the fafsa, JMU doesn’t give to many scholarships to their out of state students though.
Arden Reese Out of state
My daughter will arrive at JMU this coming fall (2023.) Your channel is quickly becoming our go to roadmap to figure this thing out. Thank you for taking the time to make all these videos. It helps both the parents and students.
Ahhhh thank you so much for this. I didn’t actually think you’d do it
i just sent my app in to jmu a week or two ago and this vid made me feel a lot more confident, so thank you so much!!
Does jmuhave supplemental essays?
Thanks so much, I applied a few days ago and I’m so excited
Junior year was the most difficult but I had the best grades, and freshman year was like the easiest but I had the worse grades 😂😂😂
Katie!! Loved how inspiring your stories were❤️ it’s true, it’s a process. This even helped me at my university (: So thank you
Thank you for uploding !!
My daughter wants to go to JMU and she’s nervous that she isn’t smart enough for it. I’m going to make sure she watches this video to let her know that her grades and test scores aren’t that bad.
I graduated with a BA in English from JMU in '85. I had similar academic and test scores at the time. I thought today's admission criteria would be more competitive? All 25 students from our Semester in London program remain in close contact after all these years. Everyone of us is doing challenging, creative and fulfilling work. While you are at JMU, learn to listen, think and write. Don't worry about your future career. Find what you love and the career will find you.
Ahhhh thank you!!
Im down to JMU and UDel. They’re both really good for what I want to do
Aidan Brown omg same!! those are my top 2!!
Omg you guys are cute!! I subbed ♥️♥️♥️
Okay, in all honesty my freshman year was the worst. I haven’t completed high school yet but I’m officially making it the worst. Not only was I completely lost due to the speed they were pushing the lessons through, my principal hated me so much that he tried to get me arrested for something I didn’t do. So, while I had to live with the fear of getting arrested AND the fear of failing, I had to deal with the stress of pushy teachers who flipped out on me for being a minute late due to getting a morning coffee.
teachers put pressure about your grades on you because that's part of the job . However, my high school guidance counselor said that she helped someone with a B average get into Yale a long time ago
ahh i love that!!!!!
Your videos are so helpful! JMU is my top choice :)
Thank you & good luck!
JMU is my top school too :)
Lauren Calvin ayeeee
Ayeee, shoutout to me and my eyelash curler that shows up in like ALL of your videos lol😂😂
3.9 GPA? Definitely put in more effort into your stuff than most students 👍👍
JMU is not harder than tech to get into 😂
WAIT 250 A CLASS WAS SMALL FOR YOU GUYS?? MY CLASS IS LITERALLY LIKE 95 KIDS
When did regular decision come out for you?
I’m going to try and transfer to JMU and I have a 3.2 GPA in college as a freshman and have a 1090 GPA and do some extra things like ROTC program you think I could get in?
This video came at the perfect time thank you.
I want to give you my stats and I want you to give me your honest thoughts on whether I will get accepted into JMU or not. Haha please be honest it wont offend me.
SAT - I took it already but it was a bad score due to me not studying at all. I plan on taking it again soon and I'll aim got a 1100+. If I dont get the 1100 or more I wont send in the SAT.
GPA- I have a 3.68 weighted GPA.
Classes - My biggest flaws in that I only have taken 1 AP class that I got a A in but that is my biggest regret for sure. I took all Honors tho. Keep in mind our class ranking is Regular, Honors, Ap, then DE.
Clas Rank - not 100% but I believe I'm ranked low 100 in 480 or something. Possibly 108 in 485.
Activities - I did Key Club junior and this year currently.
Again, please be truthful and give me your honest opinion on whether I will get in or not lol.
did you get accepted?
Is there any way to get scholarship money or financial aid for out of state students
I want to get in so bad!! lol
My graduating class size is 800 to 950 students
Wow you look like a smart girl! I’m a junior in high school and my gpa is only like 1.8 could you give me some advice?
Try and focus on doing well in your senior year and get involved. Also apply to many schools. You can go to a community college and then transfer so that the school will consider your college grades instead of your high school gpa. You can also try scoring high on your SAT or ACT whichever you choose to take. I hope that this helps! 😊
I have a 2.34. I cant take my SAT because it keeps getting canceled, butt i did take a few dual enrollment classes one with jmu and one AP class. Do you think if i write a good personal statement i can get in?
If you have an excuse for your GPA and you make it look good in your personal statement then you MAYBE have a chance
#jmu2024 where you at
Briana Corrielus 👋🏽
Right here.
would a 1080 sat and a 3.71 weighted gpa have a good chance?
Did you get in?
Did u get in
please answer it because I have the same GPA but didn’t submit my SAT
What was your job?
i worked at chick fil a
did you get accepted into UVA???
Maddison Guest no, it’s very hard to get into uva with a 3.7. You have to have at least a 4.0 unweighted with AP classes. Uva is very competitive. This information is going off of friends who got into uva.
idk why am i watching i already got in lol
I lowkey still want to go to jmu but Vcu is closer to my home and provided the same business and
Marketing courses. But I think jmu is a little harder to get into. My gpa is sexy just my Sat is 🥴 it’s a 960. Ik you got good advice plz reply 😂😂👍I’m a junior btw.
i say apply to both! i’m from the richmond area near vcu so i totally understand! when you tour, you’re going to have a feeling of home!!
katie elizabeth is it better to enroll in fall or for spring?...... I’m only a junior but I’m just curious 😊
don’t think jmu is harder than tech lmao
My application is so bad but I’m starting to really like JMU
i feel that SAT = ACT tho- 🥲 Spent that extra money for nothing
