Got rather stellar grades in hsNov 18 2008Political Science
Got rather stellar grades in hs. Mainly A's and some B's. And a good SAT score will help. It's becoming really competitive with GMU's increased reputation, and kids from hs that would normally attend UVA or VTech are applying here more.

When I first started here in 05 pretty muchOct 20 2008Business - Management and Administration
When I first started here in 05 pretty much anyone could get in. I only went here because I got rejected from JMU when I had a 3.2 1320 SAT (old SAT out of 1600) and a decent bit of extracurriculars. Supposedly they have gotten tougher though. But if you can get in here you can get in other places.
SAT: 1320 Male
