<p>OP,</p>
<p>You can still try to get off the waitlist. Email the admissions office indicating your strong interest to be on the waitlist, and provide updates on any new achievements you have done since submitting your application.</p>
<p>This year was a very difficult year for college admissions. Many kids than usual applied. </p>
<p>If you choose not to request to be on the waitlist, then make the best of your time at JMU. The idea of going to community college and transferring to VT is a good option as well. I guess the thing you will need to determine is whether your parents will pay for you to attend JMU. Hopefully your mom is more supportive than Dad is?</p>
<p>Please keep us posted on your progress</p>
