“I knew for sure that I would be accepted to JMUMay 22 2013Archaeology
I knew for sure that I would be accepted to JMU. I wrote an interesting and humorous college essay that I used for my personal statement. I did not have very many community service hours logged but held numerous leadership positions throughout high school and was very involved, having some extracurricular activity to attend nearly every single night. In addition, I had good grades, an average of 98 (weighted) on a 100-point scale. For all this I was awarded the Dingledine Scholarship, which covers the amount of in-state tuition. It was a long process to apply for and be selected, but something I would recommend for any person applying to JMU as a strong candidate.
