Also added: JMU was students top choice, visited during Junior year and interacted with all emails to demonstrate interest.
Congrats to your daughter! Is she accepted for theatre or musical theatre? When did she audition?
Accepted to JMU and Honors but has NOT auditioned yet. February for audition.
Five finalists have been announced for the Dingledine scholarship, and the five were invited to interview. I know someone who had an interview this past week.
The winner gets a full tuition scholarship. The four runners-up get 75% of their tuition paid.
Looks like RD has been released in portal - no email yet but portal was updated.
Anyone know when merit/scholarships are released?
Our decision letter send the end of March
