Kat was reporting regarding MT students. I thought I would also throw out there that the average GPA for those accepted to James Madison overall is a 3.7. (remember that is the AVERAGE, not a minimum) When GPAs are reported for colleges, they refer to UNweighted GPAs. More selective schools, like JMU, also care about the RIGOR of the curriculum chosen in the context of what's available at one's HS.
