As you may know, JMU has become much more competitive. My s was deferred for early action this year. He has a 3.6 uw GPA and SATs of 660 R, 640 M, and 610 W. He also has a lot of ECs and honors including NHS, All-State band (twice), chorus, and four years of drama (both as an actor and as a student critic). One possible red flag on his transcript: a D in Physics. So for starters, I’d advise you to avoid your D in History at all costs. Also, you need to get your SAT scores up past 1700 total (at least). But mostly, you need to have as high a GPA as you can get. I wish you well. JMU is a great school and it’s worth the effort to try and get accepted there. Good luck.
