Hey everyone, I got JMU on my radar but I'm finding it hard to get a hold of concrete admission stats. Does anyone here know the admission stats for James Madison University like acceptance rate, average GPA etc.?
Hello! Sure, I can certainly provide some detail on the acceptance rates and academic profile of students at James Madison University.
As of the most recent data available, James Madison University has an acceptance rate of approximately 76%. This rate can fluctuate a bit from year to year, but it's pretty consistent.
For the average GPA, JMU doesn't officially release this data. However, it's worth noting that the university is considered moderately competitive and it's often reported that the typical high school GPA of admitted students is in the range of 3.5 to 3.6 on a 4.0 scale, suggesting a strong emphasis on good academic performance.
Please bear in mind that while these averages can certainly provide a general idea, they are not strict cutoffs. Admission decisions are based on a multitude of factors, so it's important to consider the entire application, including your personal statement, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activities!
Hope this helps and best of luck with your applications!
