No update on my D’s Portal. No email. No change from yesterday. She is applying as an international student. Did JMU send an email letting you know there was an update on your account?
Question to deferred students…does your status still say complete or has the status changed?
I’m guessing this means she was deferred, but it would be nice to know for sure. Postal mail can take up to a month to arrive
@SamInCH – did not receive an email. Just a change in the portal. After logging in to MyMadison and going to the Applicant Center page, in the Admissions portion it lists the application number and the word Deferred. Click on Deferred to view the letter.
The Status still says Complete in the My Audition/Portfolio Review Status section. It should stay the same as Deferred students are considered as part of the Regular Decision round.
For those that were deferred I went back through last years thread and it looks like RD decisions are released around 3/14.
Has anyone heard of anyone being denied in the EA round or do they defer everyone not accepted?
I know 2 that got deferred (my son was accepted)
Yes doesn’t sound like the do rejections during early action.
I know someone that was rejected EA.
Accepted: (From Maryland)

@OrangeFish Thanks. There is no change on her account. I guess they will post international decisions later.
@DCNatFan I know of someone who was denied EA last year.

@01hockeymom See attached link showing the process to enter the College of Business and declare marketing as a major.
https://www.jmu.edu/academics/undergraduate/majors/Marketing.shtml
Note: New Freshmen and Transfer Students
Students declare the marketing major when they register for orientation. Any student admitted to JMU can declare any major offered by the College of Business; however, students are not formally admitted into the College of Business until certain requirements…
@sportingclaymom JMU does have a clay target team…my freshman son is on it.
@OrangeFish , in the Audition/Portfolio review section for your child, was the Decision portion updated? Because while my S has an admissions decision, in that section it still says Pending.
@Time2Shine This is one of the reasons JMU made the list for us.
@mindatwork – there is no update in the Audition/Portfolio review section – it still says Pending.
@KatMT provided a great update here:

on how the portal is updated and what to expect over the next couple of months.

I was deferred and I’m petrified I won’t be getting in.
SAT 1230
GPA 3.28
Wrote Essay about how I overcame severe obstacles in my life
4 varsity sport athlete all of high school
Presidential Leadership Award- almost 1000 hours since beginning high school
Have a job that I work every morning before school
Committed to do a sport at jmu
Coach said Its almost certain ill get in regular but im petrified that I wont
Coach also said that the EA is based on academic merit only
If you look at their reported info they only accept about 30% of applicants early action - where as they accept over 50% at regular decision. The regular decision criteria is obviously much lower. Also sounds like its a JMU coach your talking about and he is saying they don’t look at the sports part until regular decision.
I would only worry about the 3.28 GPA - hopefully you have a better GPA this first half Senior Year. Send that to them and hopefully it will work out well. GPA you have isn’t low enough to keep you out if a coach wants you on his team at the school.
Daughter was accepted, OOS - MA, unweighted GPA 3.71. Several Honors & AP classes. Varsity athlete 4 years. Has earned several leadership awards & 3 academic awards since her Junior year. She thrilled! It’s her 1st choice
